HILL ROADS WILL
CAR OF OUR PRODUCTS TO BE
EXHIBITED THROUGHOUT
THE EAST.
Portland, March 1. Oregon la 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. Mir. Hill proposes to gather
exihibtts of what Oregon raises and
place them in ao exhibit car which
will be sent East ani routed! through
the sections' of the . country where
it will do the most good. That these
exhibits will 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 state as a direct result is
believed.
An actual demonstration of what
this state can produce ini fruits,
grains, grasses, vegetables, etc., will
unquestionably prove convincing to
the easterner. Attractive literature
will accompany the exhibit car, tell
ing of opportunities, here for the
homeseeker, . and the ' lecturer will
auswer questions about this state.
President Hill asks support for his
plan from Oregon, people in. the
gathering of exhibit with which to
equip the car. His company now
has representatives in. this state
collecting information to he used
in the advertising campaign to be
waged by Air. Hill.

A remarkable sale of Oregon fruit
landsi 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
Voorhles, of Portland, sold the prop
erty to C. M. Speck and associates,
of Spokane. The orchard has a
splendid record, returning a fortune
each year from Its large acreage of
apples and pears. It Is said a por
tion of the orchard may be sub
divided and sold in. small tracts
by. the new o.wnera. " '
Since the Portland Union stock
yards opened for business last Sep
tember, 2189 cars of livestock have
been handled there, representing an
approximate valuation of $4,000,000,
according to Manager D. O. Lively.
The market thus established, has
been of great value to the city and
to livestock growers throughout the
Pacific Northwest for competition
tor 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
Melting Snofw of Prairie Creek
Comes Down In) Great w
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
their foundations and considerable
damage was done to fences, roads,
etc.
The lower parts of tqwn 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
number of houses in that part of
town were surrounded by water.
The flood reached Its highest at 9
o'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 overflow
are not so high,
Several narrow escapes of persons
attempting to drive along over
flowed, roads 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 was 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

bridges near the Sam Wade place
are washed out and about 120 feet
of track gone,
A steam shovel is working on

not before Friday or Saturday.

Uaitt Sutas CommlnioMr Htujin
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 on 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.
