ALFALFA DEMONSTRATION
- TO BE HELD SOON
" Alfalfa is proving a successful
hay crop in the Willamette valley,
and this year Sherman Hyre, a
Washington ; county rancher near
Hillsboro, harvested six and one
half tons per acre from his five
acre field of alfalfa, said Wm..T.
Teutsch, district agricultural
agent with the OAC extension ser
vice, who was a Mt. Angel visitor
last Thursday.
Mr. Teutsch was In this section
for the purpose of Interesting a
number of local dairymen in at
tending an alfalfa field demonstra
tion meeting to be held late this
month on the Hyre ranch near
Hillsboro. i The purpose of the
demonstration will be to show the
methods used in the successful
production of alfalfa in the Wil
lamette valley. Mr. Hyre has
been growing alfalfa for the last
five years and has different seed'
ings ranging from one to five
years old. 1 '
"The merit of alfalfa in the
Willamette valley is apparent,'
Teutsch indicated, "when you can
obtain from one and one-half to
two tons more of good hay- per
acre than you can from clover." "
There are 100.000 acres of land
In the, valley suitable to the pro
duction of alfalfa and a great deal
of this land is in Marion county.
When yon figure two tons per acre
Increase in yield over i clover , on
even 25,000 acres in. the valley
the increased value of the erop
per acre is enormous. On 25,000
acres this Increase in value would
amount to some $500,000 not tak

The story says that Indians bur

than Just a big riallte boulder, a
pile of smaller rocks placed in
brick-like fashion one . upott the
other, ; . ' ; ' ; ; : s
Certain men who have heard
the story are now working on the
rock and are shooting and digging
it away little by little, and care
fully searching through every cre
vice that they find ror some trace
of the hidden loot. Considerable
money has been spent in acquiring
land titles around the place and in
the work of dismantling the
stone, and one will find It an In
teresting place to spend a few
minutes. ' I -,
Just above the Mountain View
ranch one notices : to the right a
bit of straight ahead, a mountain
called i. Frog Mountain, named
from the frog. like; rock that lays
on the sky line of the mountain
side. It is a three to five minute
drive from the above named ranch
to where one can see up the river
to their right the Salmon Falls of
the Little North Fork, picture of
which is accompanying this article
This is a most charming spot, and
represents one of, the most beau
tiful falls in the Cascade moun
tains. The steel , - head salmon
reach this falls in the running
season and can go no farther. Good
fishing. can be had along the river
here at most any of the places.
The falls can be reached by a foot
patbf that leads from the road
way.- . IlK i
Elk Horn Is a: deserted settle
ment place now. t Years age when
the gold rush was on, there were

The roads from this point -on
into, the Santiam; district begin to
get well up on the mountain side.

here and there, but no place Is en
countered where there is any danger,-and
a car rides comfortably

A-marker on the road side in

the present time and will be one

of interest i just above the Silver

Church .and Jones tragedy oc
cured. -.These men were ; in-. the
canyon prospecting, when a storm
closed the3 trail 5 and ; they, - were
obliged to lay away in an impro
vised cabin: for: several weeks,.
They. ran short of food supplies,
and killed their dog, In a final ef
fort to preserve their lives' aatil
help-could be had. . : j ? j
Then with: hunger and weakness
came :the : terrible ravages. of a
mountain winter freezing .fplc
weather,, and Church arid Jones
were nearlng death from exposure-
Mr. Jones pulled himself to the
top of the rangel from out of the
IN
death trap, and wore a gun stalk
away using it as a help through
the snow and timber. He lost
both legs, as a result of the con
tinued, exposure to the snow and
cold winds, but. finally reached
Dr. S.mjth who is now in charge
Of I the State Home for Feeble
Minded ' patients, and Dr. Smith
went jback to . the Santiam, and
therewith the crude methods that
they had in those days amputated
the hands of Mr. Church. Jones

n the years that followed became
freighter and hauled many tons
of provisions and machinery into
the mine' camps of that day.
j The Santiam, like other western
districts has had its share of ro
mance and tragedy that lives yet
in the stories told by the pioneers
Of a long gone day. Loves and
hopes have lived and died; ambi
tions;, have been blasted abd
dreams nave crumbled like earth
en walls of the rugged hilk,about.
Majestic, mountains stand as silent
guards .holding many of the sec
rets that they have witnessed, one
of which is recalled by the little
log '"cabin that covers Pearl
