Portland,- June 22 .Representing
large sums of Dutch capital and col
lecting information that will lead to
the establishment of direct trade re
lations between Holland and the Pa
cific Coast upon completion of the
Panama Canal, J. G. Scholvick, presi
dent of Wiagman'e bank, Amsterdam,
and G. J. M. Siaons, editor of the
Telegraaf," the great Holland news
paper, were "visitors to Portland dur
ing the past weak. In an interview,
Mr. Simons said that the trip was
made to get in touch with investment
opportunities in t'il3 state whqf much
Holland capital comes at present thru
agencies in the east. He said that
as soon as the Panama Canal Is
built, a line of Dutch steamships will
be established from Holland to Pa
ciflc Coast ports that U expected to
bring this section in clo3e touch with
that country and her people.
The Importance of the hog as a
mortgage lifter has never been more
evident than now, The hog market
at Portland has advanced recently
from $7.75 to $815 pgr 100 PQundq
for suitable fat hogs and packers say
the supply Is practically nil. The
hog raising Industry is one of the
most lucrative to which farmers of
the Northwest can turn their atten
tion. Oregon and Washington need
more hogs and offer good prices to
growers. Figures here are higher
than in the Cbkao. market and
there Is every Inducement fqr more
extensive hog raising.
Oregon is growing so fast that the
landmarks are falling one by one as
they stand In tie way of progrew.
The latest i.lustratbn is the felling
of a historic old oak tree at St. Hel
lene during the past week that shel
tered the Lewisand Clark expedition
on Its famous voyage 'of exploration
over 100 years ago. The location of
a big new sawmill on the river bank
made it necessary to remove the old
tree. Th trunk was 51 inches in di
ameter and a count of the rings Indi
cated the age of the tree was 149
years.

BEATING.
Enterprise won the last two games
from Cove easily, Bllyeu pitching
both game3, making three games In
three days and the last one the best
pitched game of tie three. In Fri
day game Cove secured nine hits
that It was t'le third successive game
in as many days he had pitched.
It wai no fluke either. The Cove
boys are the be3t tsam of batters in
the Eastern Oregon league and they
had their batting eyes with them.
Dilyea had fine sipport, both the In
field and outfield gobbling all kiiula
of difficult chances. The seven wob
bles chalked up a;ainst them would
sejm to te'l a different story, but
the errors were made on easy
chances, while nil kinds of hard
