GARDEN SPOT OF THE WORLD
Portland Newspaper Man Speaks of
ii uiaiuciic v aney in lerms
of Highest Praise.
Robertus Love, who recently came
rrom the East to accept a posiuon on
the editorial staff of the Oregonian,
pays the following glowing tribute to
me Willamette Valley:
"Most of the Eastern people who
visit me exposition are deeply im
pressed by the wonderful mountains.
the great gorges and the glorious fields
ana forests which are spread out as a
perpetual panorama Just now the
farming sections of the Willamette
Valley are at their loveliest; wheat
and. oats have been harvested, and the
stubble fields gleam golden in the
sunshine; orchards are beginning to
bend beneath the ripening fruit; truck
gardens, of remarkable size, show
symmetrical acres of vegetables
onion rows half a mile long, lettuce in
five-acre patches, and cabbages so big
that from a railroad train they sug
gest a field of cultivated cacti. And
there are the hops not to be omitted
in any description of Willamette Val
ley farming. Oregon raises more
hops than any other state. To the
visitor from the East a hop yard is a
new thing. The vines are trained to
grow up strings supported by posts set
here and there, and wires running in
both directions from the posts support
the strings. The vines clamber over
the wires and strings until a hop yard
at this season looks like a great grape
arbor at a distance. In the fall the
hop crop will be gathered, and the
hops will be dried out in the curious
little hop houses, which look very
much like small country churches
with belfries.
"Most of the visitors make side trips
ouftothe hop districts, which begin
very near Portland and extend all the
way clown the valley, for perhaps 200
miles. The Willamette Valley is about
30 miles wide, on the average, and
forms one of the most magnifloent
agricultural regions on the globe. No
irrigation is required j there is plenty
of rain, and the crops grow in pro
fusion without artificial urging.
Where the ground is not cleared and
the trees are not so close together as
to keep out the sunlight and divert
the showers, huge ferns grow thickly
to a height of six or seven feet, in
many places completely hiding the
ground. One of these ferns affords
plenty of shade for a cooing couple or
a weary wayfarer.
"In the palaces of the Exposition
one may find information as to farm
ing and forestry in Oregon and her
sister state which is well worth study
ing. The size of the potatoes will
cause you to gasp, and the plums and
cherries are so big that the average
person refuses at first to believe that
they are plums and cherries. Horti
culturists have scientific theories to
account for the bigness of Oregon
fruit, but the native son of the state
will say to you :
'"Huh! There's nothing remark
able about it. What made these trees
here along the coast grow to such size
15 feet in diameter, some of them !
Plenty of rainfall. Nothing else.
Same as to fruit and vegetables. We
have rain enough to make chis a par
adise, and that's j ust what it is. '
"Summer in Portland and its vicin
ity is ideal as to weather conditions.
It is quite possible that if one should
stand out in the sunshine from 12
noon to 2 p. m., with head uncovered,
he would become almost as warm as
the average person becomes in New
York at any season of the day with an
umbrella and a fan, but the person
who feels no sense of homesickness
for Eastern heat is never put to any
unusual efforts in order to keep cool.
This Is one of the conditions that con
tribute to the success of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, which has passed
its first million in attendance and is
now well into the second quarter of its
second million."

DALLAS COLLEGE HAS STRONG FACULTY
Prospects are Bright
Students at the Opening of Fall
Term September 25.
Dr. Charles C. Poling, president of
Dallas College, writes the Obsebvek
from Johnstown, Pennsylvania, that
he will arrive, in Dallas about Sep
tember 20 and again take up his
duties in connection with the. school.
Dr. Poling has spent a year in the
Eastern states in the interest of the
college, having been granted a leave-
of-absence by the Board of Trustees
at the close of the school year in J une,
1904. He has traveled extensively
through New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and has done good work in in
creasing the endowment fund. He
says Dallas College will be financially
able to add many needed features this
year, and that the school will be able
to do better work than ever before.
Dr, Poling and family will be C'
companied on their homeward trip by
Dr. Charles Mock, who oomes to take
the chair of the Classics in the college,
Dr. Mock is an" able man, and will
add great strength to the faculty. Dr.
Poling speaks of him in the highest
terms, saying ;
"Of all the men I have met, avail
able for the position, he is the man
especially fitted for the place. He has
a classic education and received his
A. B. degree about six years ago.
Last January, he completed a most
thorough course in Metaphysics at
Grove College, receiving the highest
grades in his course, and was gradu
ated 'Cum Lauda' over all others who
took the same course. The President
of Grove College said he had the
keenest mind and the finest grasp of
philosophic truth of any man he had
met for years. He further stated that
Dr. Mock was qualified to fill any
chair in the classics or philosophies
in any institution. Early in June of
the present year, his alma mater,
Albright College, conferred upon him
the degree A. M. He will certainly
ROAD WILL BE BUILT
bpaulaing Logging Company Wll
Get Supplies by Way of Dal
las and Falls City.
The long talked or wagon road
from the Spaulding logging camp on
the Big Luckiamute river to the
Baker ranch on the Falls City-Rock
Creek road is to be built at once. The
Spaulding Logging Company has
given orders to its foreman to begin
the work, and it is expected that the
road will be open for travel before the
rainy season begins.
A subscription paper was circulated
by H. W. Bancroft among the busi
ness men of Falls City and Dallas
this week, and about $150 was raised
to help build the road. The largest
contributor to this fund was L. Gerl
inger, president of the Dallas & Falls
City railroad, who donated $50. The
Spaulding Company will give an
amount equal to that subscribed by
the people of F1II3 City and Dallas,
and the total amount thus raised will
be amply sufficient to build the road.
When the new road Is completed, all
supplies for the logging camps on
the Big Luckiamute river will be
taken in by way of Dallas and Falls
City. The Spaulding Company will
save 13 miles of teaming by traveling
this route, and the present road from
Airlie up the Big Luckiamute will be
abandoned. The proposed road will
be about five miles in length, and will
intersect the Rock Creek road at a
point 11 miles southwest of Falls City.
Two miles of this road Lave already
been completed by the logging com
pany, leaving about three miles yet to
be constructed.
V
for Large Attendance of
add great strength to our excellent
faculty. He has a wife and little boy."
David M. Metzger, A. M., will again
fill the chair of English and Philoso
phies. He will also be continued in
office as Dean of the
Faculty. Professor
Metzger has been
with Dallas College
ever since it was es
tablished, and is one
of the strong men of
the faculty. During
the absence of President Poling, he
has had charge of the school, and his
work has been ably done. Professor
Metzger is a graduate of Central
Pennsylvania College.
Prof. Herbert H. Dunkelberger is
another one of the old standbys of the
college. He has charge of the depart
ment of Mathemat
ics, and also fills the
position of Secretary
of the Faculty. He
is a graduate of Al
bright College, and
holds the degree of
Bachelor of Philoso
phy. Professor Dunkelberger
is a
mathematician of the first rank,
and
is an able instructor,
Floyd E. Fisher, A, B., will again
fill the chair of Sciences. He came to
the school last year and
performed his work so well
that ho was re-elected to
his chair by a unanimous
vote of the Trustees. He
is a graduate of Central
Pennsylvania College.
Rev. A. A. Winter is the Financial
Agent of the College. He will reside
in Portland the coming
year, having been cal
led to the pastorate of
the First United Evan
gelical Church of that
city. He will continue
his field work for the
school, however, and
will -doubtless succeed in adding a
neat sum to the endowment fund.
Miss Olive Smith will again have
charge of the Music department. Her
work last year was highly
satisfactory, and the Trus
tees are greatly pleased to
secure her services for
..Sf another year. MissSmith
Xi-i1' is a pianist of rare ability.
and her methods of instruction are
equal to the best.
Miss Josephine Armstrong, who
succeeds Mrs. M. E. Weaver as pre
ceptress of the Art department, comes
from Albany College. She is a grad
uate of one of the leading art schools
of Indiana, and taught in that state
and in Minnesota before coming to
Oregon. She comes well recommended.
No teacher has yet been chosen for
the department of Oratory and Ex
pression, and no choice will be made
until the next meetingof the Executive
Board.
Dallas College will open for the
Fall term on September 25.
