The beautiful town of BuenaVista
lies on the West bank of the Willam
ette Hiver, about tight miles ahove
Independence, and from any point one
may wish to view the place it is one
of the most delightful localities In
I Oregon. It has about 160 population
which, considering the remarkable
healthfulness and wonderful scenery
of the locality should be- much great
er. This town, from a historical stand
point, is one of the famous places In
our state. It Is commonly known that
Buena Vista, like Eola, lacked only a
few votes of becoming the capital of
Oregon. , When the caucus was held
and it was found that Buena Vista
was looked upon with so much favor
by the delegates, Coryallis, fearful for
her own commercial supremacy, head
ed off her near neighbor by throwing
all of her votes to, Salem.
Another influence which is said to
have,, worked against Buena Vista in
the race was the site for the capital
building. Reason B. Hall, the owner of
the large hill and adjoining ground
near the town, wanted $30,000 for his
property, not being willing to give it
away. The owner of the proposed
capitol site in Salem asked but IX for
his land. The result of the vote show
ed this free site proposition to be a
winner. "
Had Buena Vista won, the site would
have been even more beautiful than
the one now occupied by the state
building. It is a large hill, sloping
In every direction, and the view from
there is magnificent,, commanding the
river, the hills beyond, and the entire
surrounding valley. -
The first name given to this little
town was Bloomington. This was in
.the year I860. The first postmaster
was Eli Foster. Later, . the name of
Buena Vista was giveii It by a man
named Hall. The name, as it suggests,
was given on account of the splendid
view from the bank of the river at
this point.
Scenery Is Rare Treat.
The scenery at Buena Vista is a
rare treat for the lover of nature. The
high bank, with the stretch of hills
beyond, makes a very pretty outlook
from the town, and, going up the river
from the old warehouse, one is de
lighted with the many curiosities to be
found.
One chief attraction well worth going
to see is a volcanic Assure about half
a mile from the town. It is a large
fissure, about ten feet wide, made dur
ing some volcanic eruption perhaps
when Mount Jefferson was active. It
cap be seen up the bank and extend
ing across the river in the direction of
Mount Jefferson and it also extends
back from the river no one knows how
far. It is Interesting to see, and
sets one speculating on how hot it
muBt have been around the quiet old
town of Buena Vista when the earth
was having this spell of colic. "
, -People Are Hospitable.
The residents of Buena Vista are an
Industrious class. They are prosper
ous In every way, are loyal to their
town and to one another, and are un
usually courteous to those whose busi
ness brings them into the -place, so
that one goes away with quite as much
respect for the residents as he has ad
miration for the rare beauty of the
scenery. One man explained the gen
iaiity of the people by citing the op
tlmistlc influence of R. R. Turner,
who seems to radiate humor wherever
ho goes; but that explanation scarcely
seems to fit perfectly, as the people of
Buena Vista were famed for their
hospitality and cheerfulness before Mr.
Turner became a resident of the place.
It would rather seem that when the
jovial R. R. moved into the little town
he found himself among happy people
who fully appreciate his qualities as a
loyal citiizen and a cheerful, hosplta
store of this kind.
.W. S. McLain is the manager and
proprietor of the Buena Vista feed
mill, which at this season of the year
has been kept busy attending to the
custom which crowds Into it. Mr. Mc
Lain is also in charge of the river
warehouse at hi? place, which, in the
season when boats can navigate, re
ceives and discbarges the freight of
the town.
J. K. Neal, the popular postmaster
of Buena Vista, has been in the town
about five years and in that time has
made himself well liked by those with
whom his duties have brought him in
contact He carries a well displayed
stock of general merchandise, grocer
ies, dry goods, boots, shoes and other
articles usually in demand in a store
of this kind. He is ably assisted by R
R. Turner, whose pleasant manner
makes him a favorite with the public.
Mr. Turner dias been a subscriber to
the Observer during the entire 22
years of its existence.
N. E. Tyler conducts the hotel and
boarding house of Buena Vista and
the traveling public is here accorded
the best meals to be found anywhere In
the country. In addition, Mr. Tyler
does the draylng of the town. He has
just finished loading a car of clay for
the company which manufactures pot
tery from the Buena Vista clay.
Buena Vista's real estate dealer is
J. D. Winn, whose long residence in
this locality has made him familiar
with prices and values.JIe has a good
list of property and is qualified to give
reliable advice in reference to an
investment in land or city property.
Personally Mr. Winn is a pleasant
man to meet, and those' who favor
him with their business will be sure of
the best possible bargain for the mon
ey invested.
For the past ten years, T. P. Ogles-
bee has been the popular blacksmith
of Buena Vista .He has made good to
the public and has given entire satis
faction in every particular. His trade
In this line extends from near Inde
pendence up to Wells Station. He has
no particular specialty, but does all
classes of work well, including horse
shoeing and tire-setting.

- Buena Vista Will Grow.
It can safely be said that from the
standpoint of commercial possibilities,
few towns can offer advantages equal
to those of Buena Vista. The fruit
land to be obtained now at reasonable
prices la unexcelled in richness and in
quality of fruit produced. Any man
with a small amount of capital can
make easy money by engaging in the
fruit industry In this favored portion
of Polk County.
At ona time, there was a pottery at
this place, with a payroll of sixty men,
and the company did a thriving busi

Many Old Settlers Here.
J. C. Polley is one of the early
pioneers of Buena Vista. Speaking of
his experiences, Mr. Polley said: "The
first time I was ever here was in 1848."
I was in Pallas the first time- during
that year. I went over there on the
fourth of July no town there then. I
went over where the town now stands
to attend the funeral of General Gill

J. C. Kreutz, who has been making
Ills home with his daughter, Mrs. An
derson, near Buena Vista, Is one of
the old settlers of Oregon, having
emigrated from Prussia in the year
1866. He Is 87 years old, and at his
extreme age was recently compelled to
undergo an operation in Albany for
rupture. The treatment was success
ful, and Mr. Kreutz has been getting
along quite well since returning home,
in spite of his advanced age.
The Andersons have, sold their farm
to T. D. McLain and will move to Mc
Minnville. Mr. McLajn recently came
from Linn County. When the Observer
reporter visited his place, he found
him hard at wbrk removing a 20-ton
rock which has been interfering with
the plowing.
Two other old-time residents of Bue
na Vista are Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Rich
ardson. Having amassed a competence
in the active days of their lives, Mr.
apd Mm . Richardson " are spending
their declining years amid every com
fort. Both have a wide acquaintance In
Polk and adjoining counties. Mr. Rich
ardson is another of Polk County's
citizens who has read the Observer
since the first number was issued
from the press,
F. J. Smth, who recently moved to
this place from Portland, where he
had lived for a number of years, has
a valuable fund of knowledge con
cerning the early history of the town
and surrounding country. Mr. Smith
moved away from Buena Vista many
years ago, but recently decided to re
turn to the scenes of his youth. To
him the Observer reporter is Indebted
for much of the information obtained
about the early history of the town.
One of the oldest residents of this
county is Jacob Nash, for many years
a resident of Buena Vista. He came
to this locality from Indiana early in
1864, and has always had a prominent
part In the development of the coun
try. He has an excellent memory, ami
when approached about anything
touching the Interest of his home town
he Is enthusiastic. He loves every foot
of ground in and around the old place,
and never tires of telling of the ad
vantages offered here to the burnt clay
industry.
James Prather is one of Polk
County's substantial citizens who has
long been a resident of the Buena
Vista neighborhood. He has a good
farm and has prospered in his business
affairs. He belongs to one of Polk
his 24 acres of land near Buena Vista,
He has a small farm, but it would be
hard to find better land in Polk Coun
ty. He has been quite successful with
alfalfa, and is quite enthusiastic about
the profit of this crop. The soil of his
place seems to be well adapted to it.
Mr. Bundy has one of the finest teams
of horses in this part of the county. It
is a matched team of grey 4-year-olc.s.
The animals are so near of a size that
one cannot see the least difference
between the two.
R. H. McCarter Is one of tht nro-
I. ressive farmers of the American
bottom. He has been experimenting
with alfalfa, and declares that it l: a
more profitable crop than hops. Mr.
McCarter is a firm believer in the "hog
and alfalfa" combination.
M. M. Porterfield owns 820 acres
North of American Bottom one of
the most beautiful homes in ,the coun
try. He has fine stock, good land and
abundant cm$s. This year he has 24
acres of hops which will yield an aver
age crop. When seen in Dallas, Sat
urday, Mr. Porterfield said the stakes
in his field were so well secured that
his hops were not damaged by the
high winds of , last Wednesday.
One of the most enthusiastic raisers
of alfalfa is O. T. Murphy, of Amer
ican Bottom, Ills experience in get
ting it set and growing has been high
ly satisfactory. Mr. Murphy thinks
alfalfa raising Is easily understood
and that the matter of obtaining a
good stand n the soil of this bottom
Is comparatively simple. " ,
The high wind of Thursday wrought
havoc with the hop fields of American
Bottom. Much work was reaulred in
some of the fields to straighten up
the stakes again. When the wind be
gan to blow, the farmers had to get
Into the yards quickly and set up the
displaced poles to prevent the vines
from dropping to the ground. In one
field, an entire acre of hops was
blown down. -
The work on the new schoolhouse
in American Bottom is going on rap
idly and will soon be finished. F. E.
Finch, of Independence, has the con
tract for putting up the building. It
will be a creditable structure and will
cost about $1500.

MANY GO TO THE CIRCUS
Bnrnnni & Bailey Show at Salem
Draws Large Crowd from Polk County
If there is any one thine- in this
world that draws harder than a porous
plaster, it is a three-ring circus. This'
pulling power was again fully demon
strated Saturday afternoon, when the
Barnum & Bailey show gave its per
formance in Salem before a crowd of
at least 10,000 persons. The capitol
city was crowded with visitors, who
went from every part of the valley on
excursion trainB or drove in from the
surrounding country. The attendance
at the night performance was almost
as large as in the afternoon.
The" Salem, Dallas & Falls City rail
road gave excellent train service, run
ning an extra train at night in addi
tion to its regular schedule. This ser
vice proved a great convenience to the
residents of Dallas, Falls City and the
surrounding territory, and every train
was crowded to the limit.
As to the merits of the performance
itself, opinion differs widely. Many
there are who declare that the Bar
num & Bailey show this year is better
than ever before, while others are
equally positive that It is not up Co
the usual Klngling standard. All agree,
however, that the performance is
worth the money and that a few of the
features offered are superior to any
thing seed on the coast heretofore.
The large crowd In Salem was or
derly and well behaved, and only one
serious accident ocurred to mar the
pleasure of the day. A Salem young
woman, the daughter of an employee
at the Insane Asylum, was struck
down by a passing team at the corner
of State and Commercial streets and
we seriously bruised and Injured. It
is not believed, however, that the in
juries will prove fatal?

After a three-days' run from Naga
saki arrived at Hongkong, 1,300 miles
south by west, weather getting warm
er as we neared Hongkong. We had a
very smooth voyage except the first
day, which was rough; on the trip
down we were given a demonstration
by the crew of their ability to save a
life in case one of the passengers
should fall overboard. A life preserv
er on fire was thrown overboard, a
rush made for the lifeboats, the
steamer swung around In a circle back
to where the overthrow occurred. It
took forty minutes to make the res
cue, although the crew said if it had
been a real rescue the boat lines
would have been cut, etc.j making the
rescue much quicker It is needless to
say the demonstration convinced the
passengers it was wise to stay aboard
if they cared to see the United States
again.
Arriving at Hongkong on March 15
at 8 a. m., we were immediately taken
ashore on steam launches and our
sight-seeing began. Hongkong has a
population of- about 300,000 10,000
Europeans, Including about 1,000 Por
tuguese; 40,000 Chinese live in sam
pans in the harbor.
The population is cosmopolitan 'and
comprises races from all parts of the
world India, Japan, the Islands of
the Pacific, Europe, America and the
neighboring empire of China. The lat
ter number about 250,000.
The correct name of the city is Vic
toria, and the island Hongkong, al
though the name "Victoria" is seldom
mentioned, all calling the city Hong,
kong. The island le about six miles
across and was deeded to England In
1867. They have recently acquired
property from China, across from the
city, running fifty miles back and seventy-five
miles along the shore. Hong
kong is considered one of the beet
harbors in the worl and it is said
more tonnage passes through here
than any other port. This does not
mean merchandise, but vessel ton
nage. Her gates are open to all, re
gardless of caste or color; there Is no
custom house. You can go or come
and no questions are asked. Hong
kong streets are the most interesting
of any city yet visited. Along its
thoroughfare you will see side by side
the rickshaw and the sedan chair,
drawn and carried by the noisy coolies,
and the modern electric street cars,
all hustling for the same purpose.
First Impression Favorable.
The first impression of Hongkong
as you approach by daytime Is most
favorable. Away to the front towers
the Peak, 1,800 feet above the city,
Its sides covered with magnificent
buildings, resembling old castles, the
residences of the wealthier classes.
while below, jiear the waterfront, are
Imposing structures, six to ten stories,
telling of the commercial prosperity.
The city Seen by night from the bay,
about a mile from shore, where our
vessel was anchored, is a sight long to
be remembered, with the thousands of
sampans and sloops In the harbor,
the buildings on shore and the resi
dences creeping up the side of the
hill to the very top, meeting the stars.
and each casting their particular light,
that you are left In wonder and are at
a loss to tell where the lights leave off
and the stars begin.
Mrs. Rhodes and I were entertained
at a 6 o'clock tea at the house of Mr.
Cruz, a Portuguese broker, located on
a sightly spot half way up the Peak
and overlooking the botanical gar
dens, the governor general's grounds
and the harbor. With him we were
taken to rattan, seagrass and willow
chair factories. Most of their products
go to Australia. We also visited a fac
tory where they were making camphor
wood chests and trunks; and where
Chinese lanterns are made. The entire
party of 750 people were given a ride
on the Inclined cable road to the Peak.
The road goes to within 600 feet of
the top. This distance you can walk,
or take sedan chairs carried by four
coolies, which most of them did, but
on account of my size, the coolies
sniea,, so it was a case or walk or
stay down, so I walked. Although the
day was -hot and the climb made it
seem hotter, I felt repaid, as the view
was perfectly grand. You get a birds
eye view of the city below and the en
tire surrounding Island and country
adjoining.
Visit to Canton.
After a two days' visit at Hong
kong we, on Wednesday night, board
ed a river steamer for the ninety-mile
run up Pearl river to Canton, arrlv-,
Ing there at the next morning. We
were taken In sedan rhairs to the
Victoria hotel, on the lirltlsh conces
sion, Shameen Island, for break fact.
Immediately In front of the hotel
across the Shameen capnl, which s
taking three men to run each loom-
two to throw the shuttle back and
forth and the third to stand on
frame about three feet up and pull
the threads that make the pattern
A boy of 15 was making the pattern
on one of the looms, which was
very pretty flower, and as regular as
though made by machinery. The three
men get $3 for making one bolt of silk
of nineteen to twenty yards and
takes them two days to make it. We
visited the Kingfisher feather jeweler
workers' shop. They take a" blue ma
jor feather and very cleverly cement
it to a delicate filigree work of gold
or silver. They are used as procession
ornaments and wedding gifts. The del
icate working of the feathers is said
to ruin the eyes within a very few
years.
We visited the five-storied pagoda
built 600 years ago, which from the
end looks very similar to one of our
wheat elevators; also visited the nine
storied pagoda, called the flower pa
goda from the fact that so many
flowers are growing on each story. It
was built 1,600 years ago and looks
it. We next went to the Temple of
Confucius, where stands an idol of the
gTeat philosopher, then to the Tenv
pie of the 600 Genii, containing the
Images of that number of Buddha
followers, among them Marco Palo
one of the earliest voyagers to East
ern lands; next called at the Temple
of the Dead, at the west gate of the
city wall; saw several caskets which
were waiting for a lucky place to bury.
but as the relatives of the dead pay
what they can and as long as they can
to help find the lucky burial places,
the consequence is a rich man waits
long time, whereas a poor man with
poor relatives gets a quick passage to
the lucky place. We next turned our
steps towards the "water clock
which consists of three earthen jars
covered with copper plates standing
on & brickwork stairway. The top of
each Jar being level with the one
above, the lower Jar has a measuring
stick which raises as the Jar fills. By
taking this stick out and comparing
it with my watch there was only five
minutes difference. The Jars are
twenty-three Inches high and are of
like diameter.
Execution Grounds.
We wended our way to the execu
tion grounds, which are used as a pot
tered yard. The wife of the execution
er showed us the knife, which Is sim
ilar to a heavy dirk knife about two
feet long. They are allowed only one
stroke for a head, but this does not
prevent them doing a little sawing if
the first stroke falls. We visited the
grouh ds at S p. m., and learned after
wards that they executed 4 men at 4
p. m. We missed the Bhow by one
hour. From here we went to one of
the city prisons which had about 160
men for minor offenses. The prison
proper was an open enclosure with
guards' stations surrounding; by com
parlson the prisoners' quarters were
better than those of the guards.
After putting In an entire day In
Canton one is led to wonder why does
Canton exist at all. What good do
the people do 7 Three to four million
people crowded into a space less than
5 miles square with half a million
more living In boats on the water, llv.
Ing as they did, 2,000 years ago. No
progress made and none desired, ap
parently.
Part of the people are now living
outside the wall. There Is plenty of
room surrounding Canton to get away
from the congestion If they desired,
but their nature evidently favors the.
closely packed, quarters. A large book
could be written about the smells of
Canton, and then not do them Justice,
Most visitors will tell you there are
thousands of smells, but for myself I
believe there is only one which seem
ed to be made up from all the smells
that exist. It Is a smell you cannot
shake off for several days, and even
then It returns to you. at unexpected
times.
We boarded our steamer at S p. m.
for the run to Hongkong, which we
reached at 12 that night. The first
three hours out of Canton was delight
ful, with the low-lying country on
either side under full cultivation, dot
ted with a few pagodas and small
groves of palms and orange trees.
Arrival at Manila.
At 8 p. m. on Friday, March 18, we
steamed out of Hongkong harbor for
Manila, two and a half days southeast!
over a smooth sea, with the weather
getting warmer and warmer. We ar
rived there Sunday, March 20, 4 p. m.
Each state had a reception committee
to meet the passengers from their re
spective states. We were driven In au
tomobiles, carriages and carromataa
to Luneta park to hear the Constab
ulary band and later viewed the most
gorgeous sunset of our whole trip. A
special entertainment was given at
the theater and much enjoyed. Mon
day morning we boarded the small
river steamer for a six-mile run up
the Paslg river to Fort McKlnley,
where we were welcomed by our boys
