Pays Corvallis Visit After Many Years. - . During the first of the week Milton Conner was in Corvallis for the first time in many years. During early manhood and for some time later he resided in Benton county and nearly all old-timers will recall him.1 Some fifteen or twenty years ago he left Benton. For some time thereafter he was bookkeeper at the asylum in Salem. Later he moved to Los Angeles, California. Mr. Conner's wife is a sister of Mrs. W. G. Emery, of this city. After liying in Los Angeles for a number of years, Mr. Con ner moved with his family t a small valley that he heard of not far from the Mexico and Cali fornia line. This was a year, or so ago. This valley is almost on the.edge of the Mphaja desert. Everything is as dry as a powder house in that part of the woild. It seldom rains in fact, rain is of such infrequent occurrence that it can not be depended upon for anything. , The valley in which Mr. Con nor now lives was until a year or two ago counted as naught .save an arid, worthless waste. But comparatively recently it was discovered that artesian water in unlimited quantities were to be had. Shortly after this fact was discovered the old Bentonite heard of the valley and made a tour of Investigation. He pur chased 20 acres of land paying: $ 15 per acre. Later events have proved that his speculation was a wise one, for he can now dispose of his tract of land for many times what he paid. This little valley was settled up rapidly and many artesian wells have been brought into play for the reclamation of the desert. When water was put on the soil it was discovered that al most anything on earth in the way of tropical fruits can be raised there. The cantaloupe is the great thing produced there for market. This melon matures in this valley all the way from ten days ; to two weeks earlier than in any other part of the Uflited States' and as a result they are shipped at certain sea sons at fancy prices to New York, Chicago, and St. Louis by the Carload- . .barly in the season ot develop- ment m the little valley tne. rail - road company ran a branch line Congregational Church Notes mto the country, thus affording Sunday School at 10:00; Class for a means of transportation for the Young Men 10:00; Worship and products ot the pioneers.; That it was a good investment for the railroad company is proved by the fact that during the past sea son 6oo carloads of cantaloupes alone were shipped to eastern cities. lhat there was money in it is determined by the fact that on the greater part of these melons the producers clear io cents apiece. The first year Mr. Connor was on his place he planted but two acres in melons and cm these two acres he made $6oo. He says that three crops a year may be produced there as it is nearly al ways summer and with a good supply of water: for irrigation purposes those who are cultivat ing the desert are enabled, prac tically to make their own season. Sweet potatoes do splendidly, but Irish potatoes are scarce. You can get the finest figs on earth there must pay good money for an apple such as Oregon raises, It gets warm down there ac cording to the thermometer, from 115 to 120 in the shade. . Still, Mr. Connor said that he does not suffer with the heat nearly so much as he used to in by-gone davs when as a young man he worked in the Iharvest fields ot Old Benton. , - Mr. Connor was in Corvallis 101 umy a uay ui two. xic was enroute to Eastern Oregon, where r 1 J3 . - TT. he owned some land which he expected to trade for a band : of horses. If he made the trade was his intention to drive, the animals across the Cascade mountains to Eugene. From this point he would ship them to Southern California. Horses are a good price in tne part of the country where Mr. Connor now resides and the probabilities are that h? will do well on thenar Dr. Lowe, the eye Sight special 1st, will be at Hotel Corvallis, Oct. 5 and 6.
