Striking Facts About Oregon.
At the request of the Commercial
club a number of talks were made to
the school children at the various
schools by business and professional
men of the city. Among those deliver

A. Worthington, general manager of the
Oregon Railroad ct Navigation company,
contained such a mass of information,
to soli lly compacted and so freshly ap
plied, tht it is well worthy of repro
duction.
After a preliminary story to intro
duce his subject, Mr. Worthington said :
"I have been asked to suggest a
means whereby you can aid in develop
ing the great state of Oregon, and, if
possible, induce settlement in this won
derful country. People, as a rule, do
not Appreciate the magnitude of figures,

length sufficient to reach from Portland
to Oregon City.
HopsNinety thousand bales were
produced, principally in Western Ore
gon. These hops are packed in bales
weighing 190 pounds each. The total
crop therefore weighed over 17 000,000
pounds. These bales of hops contain l'j
cubic feet eaoh, aed all of thee hops,
if placed in one bouse, would fill a
building the size of the Chamber of
Commerce. We are told that an aver
age of one half a pound of hops is now
used in each bane' of beer of 30 gallons;
therefore the crop would make 34,000,
000 gallons of beer, or 630,000 kegs
of five gallons each, such as are com
monly used.
Apples The Oregon apple is well
known all over the world, and a great
many go to London. The principal
places of production are the Hood River
yaltey and the Rogue River valley.
Last season 150 cars, of 75,000 boxes of
50 pounds each, were shipped out of
Rogne River country, making a total ot
3.950.000 pounds. There were also
lipped 90 cars of pears, weighing 2
160,000 pounds.
Hood River shipped 165 cars of ap
ples, equal to 82.500 boxes, and weigh
ing 4,125,000 pounds.
Taking both valleys together, there
was shipped a total of 405 cars of ap
ples and pears, which would make a
continuous tuin about 2H miles long;
if piled toge'her, it would fill a space of
250,000 cubic feet, and if the boxes were
strung out in line it would reach for 60
miles.
Dried fruit The dried prune industry
is another of the great tonnage-produc
ers of the state. Western Oregon alone
raised 60,000,000 pounds of green
prunes, which, when dried, made 20,
OOJ.000 pounds a ncugh to fill 500 cars,
and if we put all of these cars together
it would make a continuous train over
three miles long.
Wool Oregon is the third largest
wool-producing state in the union. In
j 1904 the clip amounted to 32,000,000
pounds in the grease that is, as it
comes from the sheep. It baa to be
scoured before use, and when this is
were frozeu and pick ed anl shipped to
foteign pj.ts. Reduc d to tons, we
have about 20,000, or 1,000 care, and if
these werd all c jupled together it would
make a c jutinuous traia seven miles in
length.
Wheat The wheat c ops of the states
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho for
1904, as near as can be esti . ated, i
loaded in cars of an average lading of 20
tons to the car. would make a continu
ous train over 600 mils in length, and
the lumber output for the same year
would make a continuous train 700 miles
in length.

facts concerning the products of our
state, and we will commence witn:
Strawberries T'ie Hood River straw- j Sheep 15,000,4,000,000
berry is celebrated throughout the
country. Last year there were 135 car
loads shipped, which contained 97,000
crates of 24 pounds each, or a total of
over 2,000,000 boxe. If til of the
school children rf the United States
were at ore strawberry festival, the
Hood River crop alone would give each
child a good sized dish.

Livestock The l.vestock industiv of

the state of Oregon is fully up to the
highest standard, being equal to tuat of
tbe bluegrass territory of Kentucky.

industry between the years 1850 atd

Once the reasa-try becomes possess
