QUINLAN, Local Agent Or writ to VM. McMURRAY General Passenger Agent ' PORTLAND, OREGON The following excellent article on Irrigation In the Willamette valley was written by A. R, Black of Eu gene for the Portland Chamber of Commerce Bulletin and Is of such timely Importance that It Is repro duced In the East Oregonlan. It 1 Additional sunshine and heat can not be obtained to grow crops In the cold spring rainy season, but more water can be put on the dry land In the hot summer. Investigation will prove that; sufficient heat and mouv ture combined at the proper time, are necessary to enhance production from the soil to its maximum capacity. Ex isting conditions positively establish the great necessty of lrrgaton In the Willamette valley. The official rainfall records, for the last twelve years, establish the fact that the fruit trees, hop .vines and crops, on an average, do not re ceive one-fourth the necessary amount of moisture at the proper time to produce the best results, and also that in some seasons there Is less than one-fourth Inch rainfall In sixty days In the hot summer. The results are that the hop vines, fruit trees and crops then struggle for life, for want of the necessary moist ure at the proper time. The products are stunted and dwarfed, made In ferlor In quality and mature, late. The above would seem like almost perish ing with thirst, within sight of spark ling water, for want of energy to go and drink. Nevertheless the climatic records and existing conditions prove the above statements are facts. An object lesson to the fruit grow ers of this valley has been practically demonstrated In the field by the or- chardlsts of the Rogue river valley, which valley Is similarly situated be tween the coast and Cascade ranges of mountains, with Identical climatic conditions n the summer sason. There Irrigation has Increased the yield, dou bled the net ncome, trebled the for mer Intrinsic value of the land, placed the fruit on par with the Hood river production, and created a demand for their fruit In the east, and In foreign countries. Willamette valley or chardlsts, with care and irrigation, can produce the same results.' , Millions of dollars are annually sent abroad for eggs, poultry, meats and sugar which are consumed In Oregon and Washington west of the Cascade range. Irrigate the Willam ette valley and you can keep a ma jority of that money In western Ore gon. After fifty years of work there Is less than onehalf the arable land In the Willamette valley under cultiva tion. The production from the land tilled, on a general average. Is not over one-half what the yield- from the same land would be with modern Irrigation. Alfalfa, beets rich In sac charine matter, celery and other valu able crops that connot now te suc cessfully grown in this valley, can be made a commercial success with Ir rigation. The sugar beet scientifically farmed has been proven a very valuable food for stock. Cattle, sheep and hogs fatten upon them and the sugar Is converted Into meat Dairy cows give valuable returns therefrom. Stock growers take their stock to where alfalfa and such sugar beets are grown to fatten them for market. When the sugar beet Industry Is scientifically developed It will war THE WAGE A Washington dispatch says of the comparative wages paid labor in dif ferent sections of the United States: The frontier west has disappeared, and a new west has been born, never theless It would appear that It holds out greater inducements to the wage earner of today than any other sec tion of the United States. The western man or woman who Is employed In a manufacturing estab lishment receives a much greater compensation than his fellow work' men elsewhere, according to a state ment issued today by the census bureau. The average per week throughout the -west is $13.65 as agnlnst $10.63 in the 'central north states; $10.11 In the north Atlantic; $8.33 In the south central, and $7.31 in the south Atlantic. Ten dollars Is the average weekly wage ' throughout the country. Some trades average double 'this amount diamond cutters earn $21.68 per week and, on the other hand, the Ignor ant, Illiterate workers In the turpen tine Industry, those who gather the crude gum, receive only an average of $5.23 a week. Workers. In the cotton sjed oil and cake Industry re ceive on an average only $6.64 a week Both of these last two classes are largely employed In the south, and their poor compensation emphasizes the fact that the southern workman receives less than his brother crafts men anywhere else In the country. The census bureau explains the law average in a measure by directing attention to the comparatively recent development , of the factory system and the large percentage of women and children and. negores employed. In all statistics which the bureau has compiled, including .123.703 es tablishments and 3,297,819 wage earners, It Is shown that women earn far less than men. In the cotton mills, female operatives make $6.03 a week; In shoe factories they earn $7.60. Many Women Workers. As evidence of the extent to which women earn their own livelihood, out of three million old employes, 688, 599. or 17.9 per cent Were of the gen tier sex. However, women drew only 11 per cent of the total list or 33, 633,481, as against $29,240,287 earned by the man Statistic of child labor are start ling. Out of the total of employes, rant the operation of beet sugar fac torles In the. valley. Modern irrlga' tlon will make the Willamette valley the greatest, deciduous fsult, dairy farm and stock feeding section In the entire northwest. If you will view this matter lmpar daily you should be able to convince yourself that the agricultural and horticultural production of this val ley, at this late day, is only in Its In fancy until modern irrigation Is ap pled, that dlversifed farmng will then become, a realty that ten, twenty and forty acres intensely cultivated farms will then become the rule Instead of the present 160, 320 and 640-acre poorly cultivated farms, that It will more than quadruple the rural pop ulation In the district Irrigated, and more than double the population and volume of business in towns' in such districts; but very few men realize the great possibilities of production from the soil in this valley. Water can be made available to lr rlgate the entire Willamette valley without transgressing' on vested rights. That the land In the Wlllam etto valley was not put under Irrlga tlon. twenty-five year ago, has been and is a great detriment to western Oregon. Diversified farming under Irrlga tion, green feel all year, dairy cows. pigs, poultry and stock feeding com bined will largely Increase their own. era' bank account, make him Inde pendent of the summer drouth, enrich his land each year and enable the farmers to produce more from forty acres than they now can from a nun drr d acres without Irrigation, quad ruple the dairy industry, - establish many new creameries and canning plants and build and support thou sands of desirable new homes In the valley. This article 1 not Intended to cast any reflection on the present produc tion from the soil in the Willamette valley; nevertheless the fact cannot be denied that the burning sun In the last half of June and In July and Au gust, without the necessary moisture1, causes decreased yields. Remedy this defect with irrigation and you will create new production from nature' storehouse of undeveloped resources, Modern Irrigation in the Wlllam. ette valley Is feasible and practicable. also commercially advisable. It will Insure a bountiful agricultural and norucuiurai yieia as long as croDS grow and water runs, When this valley Is Irlgated It will support a larger population that Southern Call fornla. The business men and the press of the cities and towns In the valley can well afford to give the Im portant subject of developing the lat ent agricultural and horticultural re sources their hearty support. The present generation, without any further -delay, should apply the water to the dry land, utilize the summer sunshine and heat to create new agrlcultral and- horticultural pro ductlon, make the conditions more ln Lyltlng for rural homeseekers from other states, establish the most de sirable little empire within itself on mis continent, secure and bold our equitable share, of the population of the coming coast empire, and place the people of the Willamette valley In the light In which they- should strive to stand, viz., as active and en terprising as the people of any section of any state or nation. SCHEDULES VARY 90,167, or 2.7 per cent were children, receiving $312,023 per week. Thus the average child worker received only $3.46 a week, as contrasted with the man's average earnings of $11.16 and the woman's of $6.17. In cotton mills, children earn only $3.21 per week, on an average; In to bacco factjrles-the earnings were still lower, the average being only $3 a week, while In pickle factories the average was only $1.84 a week. In connection with the cotton In dustry, the census office makes an Interstlng comparison of the earn ings In the north and those In the south. By confining the comparison establishments engaged In tha manu facture of print cloths, it eliminates to a considerable extent the differ ences between the character of the Industry in the two sections, and thus presents a fair basis to measure dif ferences In earnings. ' This comparison shows that the average earnings of men were, In New Kngland $8 62; In . the south $5.14.' For women the average was. In New England $7.23; In the south $3.77; while for children the aver age In New England was $4.45, ond In the south $2.73. For all classes of cotton operatives the average weekly earnings in the north were $7.6S as contrasted with but $6.16 In the south. One of the most striking "conclu sions Inferred by the census report on this subject Is that the figures In dicate that the differences In average earnings between large and small es tablishments are slight. In those employing- less than 10 wageenrners or more, It was $10.24. Week End Excursions to Hermlston. Beginning Saturday, May t and continuing Indefinitely during the Summer, the O.
