Rauch Finds Business, Industrial,
Agricultural Outlook Bright in
That Section While on Tour.
CITY IS SEEN AS ? GATEWAY
Products Could Find . Outlet to
Markets Through Water Grade
.1 Transportation . to Metropolis.
Development of the Immense mining
and agricultural, resources of Eastern
: Oregon Is of - the first importance to
Portland, declares George I Rauch, a
Portland attorney, who has returned
: home from an extensive trip through
that section of the state. Water grade
transportation to the port t Portland
from Oregon's Inland empire will even
tually vastly increase the importance
and population of this city, -he says.
. "I visited several cities : in Eastern
Oregon,- said Mr. Rauch. "and found
everywhere the greatest optimism as to
the future.' . Business men, .miners, agri
culturists and stock raisers la that sec
tion look to Portland as the natural
gateway for their products to the mar
kets of the world.
"Fred Mellls, a mining man who Is a
live wire and a man of vision, was very
enthusiastic over . Baker's mining pros
pects, which he says never were as
bright as now. The Highland mine,
which produces mainly silver, has
developed .... a n e w strike . which
promises to product twice' the
1 amount the - mine - was producing
when it closed in 1914. , This
mine has been reopened and In a short
time will employ twice as many .men as
ever before in 'its history, according; to
Mr. Mellls, which means milling , And
stamping operations will be followed
vigorously.
GOLD MI2UHG ADVANCES
'John Arthur, another' mining; man of
great technical ability, carefully outlined
the mining:; situation - as it exists at
present because of the increasing value
of silver. He pointed out that, although
the value of gold remains fixed and the
cost of mining operations, has greatly
" increased, gold exists In great Quantities,
in all of the . Baker, mining projects and
. : late methods of extraction and refining
. greatly Increase the efficiency of saving
gold and more than counterbalance the
' increased cost of materials and labor.
t 'The Balsley mine, which has been
closed for years, according to Mr.
Arthur; is soon to start; and will pro-
' dues gold and silver in fact in . two
.- years he .expects to see 6000 men em
ployed 'In the mining enterprise in Baker
county, where now there are less than
. 1000 men employed.
- HERCULES INDICATIONS GOOD '
.He also mentioned the development of
the new Hercules mine, which is really
- only a new discovery and expansion of
the f old Poorman mine, but the show
ing of sulphuric '. copper, according to.
Mr. Arthur, is immense, and he predicts
- that the Hercules mine alone will em
ploy -1000 men, getting out copper and
v. .silver.
"Mr. Arthur stated that the first
period of mining In Baker county is
' past; that the rich, easily Worked de
posits have been exhausted, but points
v out that, in the history of mining large
". values and big pesmanent Industries
rest upon the hard .rock and slow pro
cess mining. ' ' r
"To use. Mr. Arthur's apt figure, the
first ..mining, operations were like .the
first cattle raising experiences of the
. pioneer. Before the grass had been fed
close to the ground. by the great graz
ing herds there was little sagebrush in
sections now almost completely covered
with this menace. The bunch grass
grew waist high and concealed game
v in abundance that made living easy.
, Now irrigation is required to provide
food for cattle and satisfy the enormous
.. meat demand. Yet never before was
livestock production so widespread.
SECOND ERA AT HAND
v' "So he states the second, and larger,
. stage of mining is about to commence,
involving Investments of a great amount
Iof capital, the. handling. of large quan
tities of ore. ' and the ' savin z of , by
products. He 'shows that the' ore as
found In Baker county is combined with
other products so that this district seems
destined to btf one of .the largest pro
ducers .of copper and sulphuric add in
the West ! The Iron Dyke mine, he says,
is opening with fair prospects, whereas
heretofore It has been considered of, too
low grade to pay to operate. .
; "Mr. Arthur - declares ? that I Portland
should take serious notice of this de
velopment for so great1 demand for
tools.' supplies, equipment, and transpor
tation 'could be created that. u Port
land becomes the outlet for Baker
county . mining products 30,00 Inhabi-
tants will be added to tne population
of the city,; He , says that, one of the
best ways to boost the development of
the industries of Portland and to de
velop our' importance sa a port would
be for cltlsens to forget Portland for
a time and look- to the mining sec
tion, especially ? around Baker.
WATER GRADE ' BOCTEURGEB
They would come to sea, he . de
clares, that by the development or a
transportation.; line a own tne isortn
Powder river? valleys ;through what is
known as (he . proposed Eagle Valley
railway, a 5 water grade - route from
Baker to Portland by way of the
Snake river and Lewiston. would afford
a means of outlet and make - available
the' great resources of copper, silver
and sulphur and ' their allied and by
products through ; the Columbia waterway.-
1 ' ' '
"He points out that sulphuric acid is
becoming more necessary in the industry
of the present time and in agriculture,
and also calls attention to the fact that
sulphur Is being Imported into Portland
from - China for use in industries now
located here. He shows in a very Inter
esting manner what the development of
such a railroad would mean as an outlet
not only to the mining section of Eastern
Oregon, but to those parts of the state
which can easily be irrigated, and to an
enormous body of timber comprising over
1,000,000.000 feet of western soft, or yel
low pine of high grade and easy accessi
bility to such a railroad.
" "Over 400,000.000 feet of this timber
is now owned by private parties, leav
ing nearly twice that much in the hands
ef the government and in reserve.. : He
pointed to the irrigation project known
as-the Balm Creek project, whereby
10,000 acres will be under irrigation.
BOOKS OF IRRIGATION . f
, JT.. A. Almlrall,' who was in Baker in
connection with the Thief 'Valley Irriga
tion project which will irrigate over
40,000 acres, states It to be an easy re
sult of irrigation that five people can be
supported on 20 acres of land. Figured
In; this way the Balm Creek project. Ir
rigating 10,009 acres; the Thief Valley
project, 40.000 acres, and the Sumpter
Valley project (by far the greatest and
most promising project). 100,000 acers.
Involving the expenditure of 910,000,000.
would irrigate 11 told, over 150,000 acres
and furnish occupation and sustenance
for nearly 17.500 people.

July 3. Oregon ranks among the first
of states of the country engaged, in club
work, reports I' J. Allen, in charge of pig

. Increase of more than 40 per cent in
pork production in the United States
since 1900 was Indicated at the meeting,
due largely. . it was considered by ex
perts, to pig club work,: such as has been
done in Oregon, together with the work
of -the farm bureau, which cooperates
directly ; -with farmers. Twenty-flv
states-were represented at the meeting.
, G. N. Rommel', in charge of the animal

of the department of agriculture for the

"Improvement in the labor situation,
especially in the building trades, is no
ticeable this 'week, said "Wilfred K.
Smith, federal director of the govern
ment employment service, in his review
of the weekly situation throughout the
state.-, f r . , V; : t . .
"The demand for carpenters and oth
ers engaged in this line has shown a de
cided increase. However, mechanics are
plentiful enough to meet the ' Increased
demand and no .construction is being de
layed for lack of men.. The shipyards
are full handed and it will be unwise for
outsiders to corns to ? Portland in the
hope of securing- employment: with the
shipbuilding concerns. Sufficient labor
Is at hand to meet the present require
ments. Orders are on the ; boards xor
upward of 100 men for highway 'Con
struction on various units, but the call
for men. on railroad work, especially in
the ' shoos, has fallen : off to. a notfee-
able degree during the past month.
- Orders for berry pickers ' have been
filled with the exception of some small
ones that came in late during the past
week and these will be taken care of
without difficulty. The organisation of
camps for the loganberry yards, struck
s,-: popular - chords in both . the grower
and sicker. with "the result that this
office has been able to fill every' order
received for help to pick the abundant

There is a 'surplus of applicants for
technical help. . .-:
" "One logging company at Marshfield
would place 800 1 more men in their
camps if the men were available. They
would also begin '"operating' a sawmill
that has been idle since February. High'
wav construction amounting to 14 miles
of concrete surfaced road will call for
still more laborers at B4.50 per day near
Marshfield.'' . -
