HILL RQADS WILL
E
CAR OF OUR PRODUCTS TO BE
EXHIBITED THROUGHOUT
THE EAST.
Portland, March 1. Oregon is to
get wide publicity throughout the
East during the coming year if the
plan of Louis W. Hill, president of
the Great Northern railway, works
out. Jir. Hill proposes to gather
exhibits of what Oregon raises and
place them In uj, exhibit car which
will be sent East and routed through
the sections of the country where
it will do the most good. That these
exhibits wiU accomplish a great deal,
accompanied as they will be by a
lecturer, is certain and that many
thousands of settlers will be brought
to this staite as a direct result Is
believed.
- An actual demonstration of what
this state can produce Ini fruits,
grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., wlH
unquestionably prove convincing to
the easterner. Attractive literature
will accompany the exhibit car, tell
ing of opportunities, here for the
homeseeker, and the lecturer wl'll.
answer questions about this state.
President Hill asks support for his
plan, from Oregon, people in the
gatflering of exhibits with which to
equip the car. His company now
has representatives in this state
collecting information to be used
la the advertising campaign to be
waged by Mr. HiU.
Portland is to have an aviation
meet March 5, 6 and 7. .Business
men have organized a three-days ex
hibition of flying machines andi D. O.

the event. Charles K. Hamilton, cel

rouny prizes, will be the star or the
coming contest and will try to set
new world's records for altitude, high
and. low speed flights. Four local
aeroplanes will be entered in the
contests, while Mr. Hamilton will
bring Curtiss, Wright and Karman
biplanes, which he will fly.
A remarkable sale of Oregon fruit
lands, was that made during the past
week when the Burrell orchard, of
605 acres, near Medford in the
Rogue River valley, passed to new
owners for the record-breaking fig
ure of $500,000. Captain Gordon
Voorhies, of Portland, sold the prop
erty to C. M. Speck and associates,
o.' f-polfene. The orchard has a
splendid record, returning a fortune
each year from its large acreage of
apples and peers. It is said a por
tion ol the orchard may be sub
divided and fold In small tracts
ty the new qwners.
Since the Portland Union stock
yards opened far business last Sep
tember, 2189 cars of livestock have
been handled there, representing en
approximate valuation! of $4,000,000,
iccording to Manager D. O. Lively.
The market thus established has
been of greet value to the city and
to livestock growers throughout the
Pacific Northwest for competition
for their products has resulted In
better prices and quicker sales than
formerly. Hogs this, week have been
hovering around the $10 mark and
mutton has been very high aa well.
Biggest Overflow
In Sixteen Years
Meltinfl Snow of Prairie Creek
Comes Down In) Great
Flood.
The biggest flood since 1894
swept down Prairie creek and on
down the river Tuesday and Tues
day night. The rain and warm wind
of the preceding night melted the
snow that lay a foot deep all over
the Prairie Creek country, and with
the streams pouring out of all the
passes and off the hills that sur
round that big basin made a vast
quantity of water that the narrow
banks of the creek could not con
tain. The overflow spread over the
low lands, bridges were swept from
.heir foundations and considerable
damage was done to fences, roads,
etc.
The lower parts of to,wn were
flooded and a number of families
compelled to move out. River street
was overflowed from the rink south
past the Steel property, the torrent
rushing knee deep over the road.
Depot street was impassable and a
uumber of houses In that part of
town were surrounded by water.
The flood reached Its highest at 9
a'clock Tuesday night and by Wed
nesday morning all danger of further
damage' was at an end. The con
tinued warm weather is taking the
rest of the snow but the overflows
are not so high.
Several narrow escapes of persons
attempting to drive along over
flowed roods were reported, but no
accidents, happened except the mis
hap to Marshal Hug. While attempt
ing to save some water pipe being
swept across River street near the
rink he lost his smoke pipe and
got his feet wet. The bystanders
thought the city ought to pay for
another pipe as it wrvs lost in line
of duty, but agreed that the feet
wetting did more good than harm.
Railroad Traffic Tied Up.
Land slides in the Grande Ronde
canyon below Elgin blocked railroad
traffic on th' branch Monday. The
two trains came as close together
as possible and exchanged mall and
passengers. Tuesday three lisdes
In the Wallowa canyon near Mlnain

with the report that bents of two
bridges near the Sam Wade place
are washed out and about 120 feet
of track gone.
A steam shovel Is working on
the elide in the cut below Elgin,
but as the wires are down Agent
Butner cannot give any idea ,when
traffic will be resumed probably
not before Friday or Saturday.

came out the first of the week on his
way to attend the meeting with the
district forester at Wallowa.
Mr. Stumbaugh's place is three
miles below the bridge. He wintered
3,000 sheep without hay and says they
came through in fine shape, with only
the loss of 19 ewes and 68 lambs or
about the average per cent, and they
principally from coyotes.
The report of losses of cattle have
been exaggerated. The best posted
men down cm the river are placing the
average loss at not over 10 per cent,
practically all from sliding. Of course
some owners have lost a great deal
more, while many have lost less.
