B EW OF HERM STON'S ORCHARDS
"The Landsman," an advertising

number of enterprising citizens, glvcB
the following comprehensive review
of tho fruit Industry In that district.
Thy East Oregonian Ih Interested In
the development of that uectlon of the
county unit takes pleasure In reprint
ing the list of young orchards In that
vicinity as follows:
Twelve acres, with every square
foot In greenery, Is what you see at
the Haneroft ranch. Mr. Bancroft
haw two acres of Tokay grapes, two
acres of strawberries, six acres of
early and late potatoes, and two acres
of melons, peanuts, cucumbers, sweet
corn, Kaffir corn, sunflowers, onions,
lettuce, cabbage, turnips, etc., etc.,
all In fine growing state where last
February he cleared the sage brush.
lie linn grapevines with a 30-Inch
growth, potatoes 14 to the hill, 30
day corn four feet high, and an en
tire garden as well developed as one
sees In older localities. Mr. Ban
croft has done wall, but he has only
done what any man of energy and
good Judgment may accomplish un
der the t'matllla project.
Fred A. Yates, on his 30-aere ranch
within a mile of town, has five acres
of Wardens and Black Hamburg
grapes, 000 pear trees, D00 cherries,
and a family orchard that has done
well during the spring nnd summer
seasons, especially tho grapes and
pears. He expects to plant more
grapes next spring.
Mr. Yates has cultivated and Irri
gated his orchard carefully and the
time Is not far distant when ho will
bo taking off the $500 to $700 an
acre and listening to the man who
failed to investigate the reasons why
he ventured to plant In the beginning
of, things.
Mr. Krlckson's five acres of apples
and peaches attract the attention of
everyone. Pet In perfect order, the
ground rlear of every spenr of grass
or grain, nnd almost every tree full
headed and strong, Is nn agreeable
rhnnge from tangled sagebrush In a
short period of five months. Mr.
Erlrkson Is a Chicago engineer and is
"doing things" well.
Pr. Kern's seven acres of Euro
pean varieties of grapes, thouch
plnnted In May. are coming out better
than the doctor expected. Delayed
shipments gave his vineyard a bad
start, but when here from Tendlcton
a few days npo his f.ire beamed with
gl.idnes over recent developments
th ; project along the Umatilla river.
H Ih two miles from HermlHton.
The Telmulder place Ih producing
all kinds of fruit and garden truck
this year. It Is three and a half miles
from town and convenient to Investi
gation, and anyone interested In the
project lands can see for himself how
well apples, peaches, pears, plums,
grapes, prunes, corn melons, aspara
gus, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc., grow
in this locality.
The five-acre apple and peach tree
orchard on M. I). Scruggs' place, one
mile out, look well and Mr. Scruggs
thus encouraged will do further plant
ing this fall.

Steam cars will traverse the Mil-
ner-Goodlng electric railway to Wen-
dell by October 15, at the latest, and
to Jerome In November, according to
information received today from D.
C. McWatters of the Twin Falls Land
& Water company, who arrived in the
city, says the Boise Capital News.
Mr. McWatters is very enthusias
tic over the rapid rate at which the
electric road construction Is going on
and also with the manner in which
the north side Is settling up and the
Salmon rlvor tract as well.
"Contractor Grant is rapidly push
ing the construction work on our new
electric line now, and has the grad
ing almost completed," stated Mr.
McVatcr8 tf a representative of the
Capital News wnen interviewed, i
-if lit be imnosble for us to run ! department reports the lift of a
electric cars by the time the road l i
completed for the simple reason that
one of our big por plants, that
w hich is now being constructed at the-1
lower Salmon falls, will not be com- j
pleted In time. i
"The. grading Is finished up to a
point south of Gooding and this will !
be done in a very ehort time. An-
other grading outfit ts working for
the ro;M out of Milne towards Je
rome.
The power for the rond will be fur
nlshed by two large plants, one at
Shoshone and the other, as I men
tioned before, at the lower Salmon
falls. I should estimate that the lat
ter plant will cost in the neighbor
hood of 1100,000.
However, as soon as the road Is
completed steam po--er will be used
to take care of the traffic and when
the plants are completed the electric
