CLIMATE
FORCE IN CONTROL
OF ALL INDUSTRY
Many Problems of Business Rise
From Inability of Man to
Keep the Elements in Hand.
By Edward L. Wells
In the minds of many the matter
of climate la a question of personal
comfort, sometimes having a bear
ing on health, but not intimately
connected with business. This con
ception is erroneous, for of all the
natural resources of a .place or sec
tion its climate is one of the most
important. Agriculture, engineer
ing, transportation, commerce, man
ufacturing, public and private health
arid recreation, ajl depend .on cli
mate. Climate and soli constitute the founda
tion of agriculture, and agriculture
frfd the world. Deficiencies In the
soil may often be supplied, but man
has no control over the climate. In an
other article reference has been made to
the relation between weather and crops.
This direct relation Is apparent to all
who have made any study of the mat
ter, but there are many indirect rela
tion which are Important Irrigation,
drainage, transportation, manufacturing,
markets and the efficiency of labor are
all closely connected with climate, and
are Just as closely connected with .the
economics of the farm. Nearly all In
sect pests and plant diseases are gov
erned more or less by climate.
One of the greatest engineering prob
lems of the day la that of developing
wafer power and transmitting this power
to where there is a market for it. In
planning hydro-electrlo plants the en
gineer is governed at every step by the
limitations of 'climate, as these limita
tions affect the water supply, the forma
tion of ice In the stream, the damage
likely to be done to the transmission
lines by wind and ice, and other fac
tors. The Irrigation engineer faces many
of the same problems and others pe
culiar to his work, we hear little In
these days about wind power, but La
Verne w. Noyes of Chicago is authority
for the statement that "There Is suffi
cient power, which can be had for the
taking, within 100 feet of the ground.
in a space five yards In diameter, to
do all the work to be done on a 40 acre
farm, from the sowing, cultivating, har
vesting, threshing and marketing of
the crops to the rocking of the babies
and the doing of all kinds of house
work, and to furnish light, heat and ice
for the house and electric light for the
chickens to sleep by."
COirSTRlCTIOir HAMPERED
In all construction work climate-
should be considered. Tall structures
must be built so as to withstand wind
force. One type 'of a house is suitable
for one climate and another type for
another climate. The same Is true of
certain kinds of building material.
Transportation la an Increasingly im
portant factor in business as people de-
vclon a t until for cftmmodltlM nrfirl iKd
at a distance, -and as oommunUies fal
low the prevailing tendency to special
ize in certain products. No phase of
transportation is Independent of cli
mate. Many illustrations might be used
in this connection, but one will suffice:
A certain middle western town Is nerved
by two railroads.. One is seldom blocked
by snow In the. severest winters, while
the other is sometimes blocked for
months at a time. The only difference
is that one runs parallel to the dlrec
tlon of the prevailing wind and the other
at right angles to that direction. Claim
agents for transportation companies and
t traffic managers for fruit shipping
companies and associations keep files
tf cltmatologlcaal reports, and many
claims for damaged goods are settled out
of court by reference to these files. As
travel by automobile increases the good
roads question becomes more and more a
commercial matter. Good roads cannot
l built economically nor maintained
successfully without consideration of
climate.
FOODSTUFFS AFFECTED
The price of foodstuffs In normal
times quickly feels the effect of any
veather change during the growing
reason. It Is said that a merchant In
San Francisco failed because of an er
ror of a single letter In a weather re
port. Not only does weather affect
specific transactions, but conditional
ii unaciiuna as wen. l nis 18 partlCU-
larly true of marine, hall, flood, tor
tiado and lightning insurance, but Is also
true of fire Insurance, and some life in
surant companies refuse to sell Insur
ance to residents of states where the
climate Is known to be unheatthful. The
territorial distrlbuuon of many commod
lties Is governed by climate and this
fact la taken Into consideration by large
mercnanaising institutions.
There are many, manufacturing pro
cesses mat can be carried on success
fully only under certain climatic con
ditions, and many large Industrial com
munities have been built up because the
local climate la favorable for certain of
these processes.
In all economic relations the human
factor is large. Health.' ambition, alert
ness, efficiency and endurance deter
mine largely the value of the Individual
to society and that these are affected by
climate no one can doubt. Many dis
hes thrive only within certain climatic
limits. Apart from the matter of health,
, certain cilmatea develop alertness and
force of win, while others tend to lassitude.

cellor and It Is contemplated that W. J.
H. Clark of Portland will be elected to
the office of grand chancellor for the
coming year. Many delegates aspire to
the office of grand vice chancellor,
smong those most prominently mentioned
being W. C. Chase of Coquille. J. H.
Mast of Bandon, Lief Finseth of Dallas,
M. F. Hardesty of Seaside. William O.
Hare of Hlllsboro and Judge T. E. J.
Duffy of Frtnevllle. No particular leg
islation has been advocated for this ses
sion of the grand lodge other than an
increase In the minimum rate of Initia
tion. Arrangements have been made for spe
cial rates to the convention and a special
train will leave the Union depot on the
evening of Sunday, October 18, arriv
ing in Marshfield the following morn
ing. A committee from the different
lodges in Cooe county visited the office
of the grand lodge In Portland recently
and advised the grand lodge officers
that all was In readiness at Marshfield
to welcome and take care of the largest
delegation of Pythians who have ever
assembled in Southwestern Oregon.
Accompanying the delegates from
Portland to the convention will be the
divan, patrol team and band of Abd

$47,000,000 Value of Year's
Crop Grown on Land That Not
Long Ago Was a Desert.
By Fred Lockley -Yakima,
Wash. Sunshine, soil
and water is the formula for success
here In Taklma valley. For count
less ages the valley has been in
possession of a rich and inexhaust
ible soil and tn abundance of sun
shine, but it has only - been within
the past score or so of years that
water, third element of the winning
trio, has been available. ' All you
need to do to become a convert to
government reclamation and to Irri
gation of the West's arid and semi
arid lands is to visit Takima valley.
I am writing this letter from the Ore
gon Journal booth at the Washington
state fair at TaklmaT On all aides are
to be seen evidence of what has been
accomplished by bringing life giving
water to the "thirsty soil. Where once
the prowling coyote or the soaring bus
sard Baw the quivering heat waves ris
ing from hot and shimmering sand hills,
today you will see mile on mile of al
falfa nodding and swaying in the breese
tike some vast inland sea. Just aa the
6ea in its different moods has many
shades of green, so this vast inland
sea of living green as the vagrant breese
ripples Its surface into wave-like mo
tion has the merging tints of jade and
malachite and emerald. Where two
score years ago the occasional traveler
saw no sign of life except horned toads
and rattlesnakes backing in the sun or
jackrabblts darting across the train to
seek safety beneath gnarled and twisted
roots of the sage brush, the traveler
today sees apple trees bending beneath
their load of fruit while droning bees
forage from field to field In search of
honeyed plunder.
EARLY LABOBS BEAR FECIT
One can get a better Idea of what the
coming of life-giving waters has done
for this one-time desert by visiting dif
ferent sections of the valley and seeing
changes that have been wrought. 1 have
talked to ranchers who came here S
years ago and who after the lean years
of their youth and middle age are now
enjoying fruits of their early labora
Here, in tabloid form, are the facts and
figures of the development of this valley.
There are approximately 100,000 acres
of alfalfa. At a most conservative estl
mate the yield for the past season was
310,000 tons, which sold in stack at from
$15 to $20 a ton. At leant one-third of
the alfalfa Is fed where grown and
shipped out In the form of beef or butter,
More than 10,000 acres of corn Is
grown for use In silos. Here are some
of the crops with money brought into
the valley on the land that was passed
up as worthless by emigrants of three
score years ago..
see,oee acres irrigated
As to the present extent of acreage on
which irrigated crops are produced there
are in Takima valley examined and
approved reclamation projects for which
ample supply of water is available,
totaling over 600.000 acres. The
government has spent on the construe
tlon of the projects which get their water
from the Yakima and Naches rivers about
$12,000,000.
The farmers of Yakima valley last
year produced crops valued at $47,745,000.
They shipped 9904 carloads of apples,
for which they received 414,974,848 ;
2200 carload 8 of peaches, averaging over
1200 baxes to the car, at an average
price of 62 cents a box, brought $l,66e,-
125; 2000 carloads of pears, 2, 178,000 ;
strawberries, cherries, prunes, grapes,
canteloupes, water melons and small
fruits to the amount of 1205 cars brought
in a revenue of $1,578,250.
SPTJD8 LIFT MORTGAGES
Potatoes are mortgage lifters in Yaki

were shipped from the valley, 23,000
tons selling at $40 a ton and 7000 tons
at $85 a ton, bringing in a revenue of
$1,635,000.
A crop of 2700 tons of onions from
the valley brought in a revenue of $162,

bage, asparagus, squash, pumpkins.
beans and other vegetables, including
five carloads of green peppers, amounted
to 232 carloads, and brought in $410,350.
A total of 630.000 bushels of wheat at
$2.10 a bushel, added $1,123,000 to
Yakima's wealth. Barley, oats and corn
brought in a further sum for grain ocops
Of $319,200.
In all 416 carloads of sugar beets real
ised $1,312,000, while beet pulp sold to
feed stock added $12,000 to revenue from
the beet fields.
Beef, mutton, pork and poultry with
other livestock sold for $4,403,500.
Wool, hides, tallow, eggs, furs, pelts
and other livestock products sold for
$3,23p,8S0.

Use of the form of ceremonial ia not
compulsory for the posts, but it Includes
many valuable suggestions that could
be used to advantage in preparation of

The national organisation of the
legion ia making every effort to have
Armistice day elaborately celebrated in
very city of the United States and has
called upon the departmental officials
to see that no poat Is inactive on that
day. Oregon department in turn is urg

and to keep headquarters informed as
to what they are going to do.
The new home of the Portland post In
the Flatiron building. Sixth and Ash
streets, has at laat been vacated by the
municipal free employment bureau, and
the quarters are now being thoroughly
renovated. There was so much clean
ing work necessary that thex original
plan for an opening Monday night was
postponed one week.
This means that the regular meeting
o the post for October 4 will be the
first one held in the club rooms. The
only business scheduled will be the re
port of the reorganisation committees,
headed by Thomas Henry Boyd, In
which several plans for operation of
the legion in Portland will be put forth.
The women's auxiliary of the post
will serve refreshments at the conclu

Permanent charters for the posts that
have made application in Oregon are
now on hand at department headquar
ters and will be sent out as soon as E.

from the national convention of the
legion at Cleveland.
The charter certificates are handsome
affairs containing the charter and the
membership roll. On the latter are to
