What promises to be an Important
Industry ! being developed near the
mouth of the Columbia river. Ex
tensive work I being, done both In
Oregon and Washington In develop
ing the cranberry Industry. While on
a recent trip to 8cavlew, Wash., I
visited the cranberry fann-.of H. W.
Williams. , Jr. Willlama hag not gone
Into the cranberry , business, as an
experiment. He has "devoted his en
tire life to the Industry.
"1 was born In ; Plymouth county,"
eald Mr. ' Williams, "about half way
between Boston and Provinctown, at
a little place called- Wareham. Yu
will know that we ; are old-timers in
that section when I tell you that
Roger Williams was the. first of our
family who settled ' there. Our fam
ily went Into the cranberry business
90 years agd, when my grandfather
planted cranberry bog. I myself
still own an interest In a bog, yield
ing good crops each year, that I
helped plant as a boy, 50 years a so
Oregon and Washington - have some
Ideal cranberry bogs. In the North
Beach " district ' there are probably
3000 acres of good cranberry land,
and about 600 acres have already
been planted. I . have SO acres of
my own planted, and in all I have
put out over 200 acres. 1 have put
out 1 31 14 acres since last December,
and expect to put out about 100
acres more thin fall. When I first
.rsme here I bought 800 acres for a
cranDerry association, or wnicti 1 am
one t the members."
. Ho Xasy Man's Job.
With Mr. Williams I walked all
over-his farm. The raising of crait
berries is no lazy man's Job. Th
trees and brush, must first be.
slashed and removed, then the stump
. must be pulled up and the land
scalped. This Is done with a Swed
ish hoe, When the turf has been' re
moved, stumps found unci the
surface must also be removed. Tliss
land is then drained by a series of
main canals ani lateral ditches. it
Is then sanded. to a depth of three or
four Inches, and ; is ready for the
cranberry plants. :
. "I contracted for the clearing of
most' of my, land at $200 an acre
continued Mr. Williams. "The land
Is then ready for the sand. Th
smaner operators estimate the cost
irom oi 10 an acre to cle?.r
the. land, sand it, plant the eranber-!
rles and do the weeding for the first
two years. You will notice that 1
have a good sized force of men in my
cranberries right now weeding them
It costs $30 an acre to do the weed
ing' for the first year. After the
fourth- year no weeding is' required,
as the cranberries have then formed
a solid mat over the ground. Tha
llfr of a cranberry bog. If it is prop
erly cared for. Is almost perpetual.
A Problem of Draining.
"Our problem here is more one of
draining than of flooding. In the
east they flood the bogs to drown
the Inserts and to protect the cran
berry plants from early spring and
. late fall frosts. They also flood the
cranberry bogs after the pickers have
gathered the crop for the purpose
of gleaning the loose berries which
have fallen off. The cranberries

THE Central Oregon highway is an
important highway. It is next In!
Importance to the Columbia high.
way, of 'Which It 1 the complement.
Each one is necessary to the pther.
When the state highway commission
decided last winter to build the 10
mile section between Biggs and Wasco,
It undertook a work t practical value
that will serv;e a great number of peo
ple. "
A highway through central Oregon
Is a feasible route to California. Ow
ing to climatic condltlons. it can be
traveled the year around and owing
to topographic conditions If can. be
cheaply constructed. There are no
heavy grades to cut or mountains to
cross. Most of the way the character
of the soli is such that a good dirt
road can eaaily be maintained.
Joining the Columbia highway at
Biggs the Central Oregon highway
with a short grade mounts the Colum
bia liver plateau and runs along th
divide between the John Day and Des
chutes canyons over a comparatively
level country directly south to Lake
view and thence -along the - eastern
shore of Goose lak to the head of
the Pitt river, through the lowest pass j
ln the mountain range between Ore-1
gon and California into the Sacra-J
irer.to valley. '

When the party reached Lake coun
ty It wa .supposed that Judge Daly
would know all about th roads, and
he was elected pilot. Ho announced

I man had told him to take the first
right hand road. He took every right
hand road and cow trail met, and a
a result suddenly came up 'against a
number of barbed, wire-fences. It was
finally disclosed ; that the judge did
not know much about the roads In the
northern end of his county. He was
deposed and, summarily ejected from
the pilot's seat. Relying on their own
sense of direction the party finally
reached ilver . Lake, missing : Fort
Rock altogether. ,
According to the schedule, the party
was to arrive at Silver Lake early In
ine arternoon, and after a brief stop
proceed to LakevieW. BO mllea iwir.

While eating dinner Francis Chris
man, the local boniface. got busy on
the telephone and succeeded in drum
ming up 0' crowd for a good roads
meeting, which was addressed by Sam
uel Hill and Judge Daly. The resi
dents of the Sliver Lake country were
found to be very much impressed with
the possibilities of the Central Oregon
highway. , s ,
At 4 o'clock the 'next morning the
Journey to ' Lakeview was resumed,
up . over the . Silver Lake hill and
through the rich Summer Lake-valley
to Paialey on the Chewaucan river for
breakfast.
Then through the Chewa.ucan valley

where Judge Daly wanted to show En

' When the party arrived at Lakeview
at noon it was met by a number of the
town's live ones and hurried to the
Antler's club, where a substantial
lunch awaited. j -
, After. . luncneon 'there . was some
speaking, and outpouring of enthu
lasm over the Central Oregon highway.
Judge Daly told his fellow townsmen

'. Th general stiffening up of stand
ards, which resulted laat semester ln
the outright "flunking- pf S3 students
and th putting of eight more on pro
bation, was continued this semester by
the faculty of th University of Or
egon. As is evidenced by figures com
piled by Registrar A. R. Tiffany, 24
students have "flunked out? and wlll
not be allowed to re-enter th univer
sity ln the fall. That this number Is
not much larger la attributed by Mr,
Tiffany to th fact that th rumor of
what was coming spread among th
students several months ago and the
realization - has been general that a
sterner application to study was nec
essary this year than ever before.:
The "fans ' were particularly urgent
in their demands upon the athletes that
they should play safe in the matter of
scholarship. The track team Is th
only athletic organization that has lost
any . considerable portion of Us power
to win victories. "The incldatlons are,
says Mr. Tiffany, "that the faculty will
continue to ' stiffen up the ' require
ments. The additional energy that this
puts into the work of th students
more than makes up for the unfortun
ate side, which is the denying of higher
education to these few young men."

how the highway dovetails in with
other highways forming a complete
system.
In theiL desire to divert tourist
ttavel from Portland and the Colum
bia highway the people of Seattle are
anxiously waiting for the completion
of the state highway over Snoqualmie
pass. In order to go from British Co
lumbia or Puget sound to California
by way , of the Snoqualmie pass the
tourist would be compelled to traverse
the Yakima and Klickitat valleys and
cross the Columbia river between
Mary hill and Biggs.
The traveler from the Okanogan
country, or from Spokane, Walla Wal
la, Pendleton, Baker or Idafio must
ultimately come to a junction with
the Central Oregon highway.
In southern Oregon the highway
naturally ties in with the Crater Lake
road and the Pacific highway, afford
ing alternative outlet for tourists
from the Rogue River and Klamath
River valleys, bound either for Port
land or California.
A Natural Highway.
One familiar with the topography of
the state ' and .the situation of the
mountain ranges, which In some sec
tions obstruct travel In the winter
season, can easily realize, that the Cen
tral uregon nignway is a natural on
and one that can be constructed and
maintained at a small cost.
It is also a scenic highway, guarded
on the west by snow capped sentinels
and green timbered hills, passing, be
tween fields of wheat, across sage cov- j
John Day and the Deschutes canyons,
where a road is easily maintained, as
there Is no crossing of the natural
drainage as would be the case in pro
ceeding up either of the-canyons.
This Is an important consideration
in road construction, as it is expen
sive fighting against nature. .
It is estimated that the wheat yield
of Sherman county . this seaaon will
approximate three million bushels. ; It
is also estimated that the saving' in
the cost of transporting the wheat to
tbc river over a good road will amount
to three dents per bushel. This means
a tctal saving of '$90,000 to. the farm
ers of the county, or three timea the
cost of the road in one year.
, It seems strange to find a great deal
of Indifference to the highway in
Sherman county. Only a few appear to
realize what it will mean to them
when the Celilo canal is opened to nav
igation. '
At Wasco Mr. Hill's party was joined
by W. M. Barrett, the banker of the
town, and his wife and son Golden.
All left Wasco about 4 o'clock p. m
and drove between rolling acres of
healthy wheat along the "hog back.
Mount Hood and Mount Jefferson were

glimpses of Mount Adams and Mount
St. Helens .were caught.

have come 400 miles to see it.
'"Yes," replied Judge Krusow indlf-
ered plains, through fertile valleys and ferently,"but the county Is building
past winding streams and blue lakes.
The road Is already a fairly igood
one. but in some' places will require
modifications with slight changes ln
route and reduction of grades. In the
northern part of Lake county where it
crosses a long stretch of unsettled
plain It may be necessary to give state
aid. The heaviest part of the work
will consist of the grubbing out of
the sagebrush and gathering op the
loose rocks.
' Samuel Hill ' took n automobile
party over the highway recently. The
party consisted of Dr. R. J. Hill, of
Minneapolis, brother of Samuel Hill,
County Juds;e Bernard Daly, of Lake
county. State Highway Engineer H. L.
Powlby, and a Journal .representative.
It was a hurried trip as, those famil
iar with Samuel Hill's methods of
travel can-readlly appreciate. They
traveled bV day and they traveled by
nJght, snatching on an average four
hours of sleep each night.
T Leaving- Maryhlll about noon, the
party crossed the Columbia river In a
launch to Blggs and then walked up
Spanish Hollow over the grade beirtg
made by the state for several miles,
inspecting the work which thev. pro

On arrival at Shanlko the sun was
setting, painting the white cap of Jef

marked that he -felt just a little bit

seem to catch "the significance of the
remark, and calmly announced "We
will go on to Prinevllle. It is only
about 70 miles farther. We ought to
get in by 11 o'clock at the latest."
So on they went, passing through An
