TWO POLK COUNTY OBSERVER FRIDAY. JUNE 91 .... . 1 'a NEWS I STATE An experimental station county, to region for Coos aid fruit growers in the west of the Coast range of mountains, is a project that has been set on foot. Climatic and soil condi tions of the Coast country are differ . ent from those prevailing in other parts of the state, and it is felt that such a station would be of great benefit to fruit growers. Societies are being organized in different sec tions of Coos county to accomplish this result. State Engnieer Lewis characterizes the Des Chutes river as the most wonderful stream in the world, after a trip through its entire drainage ba sin He says the possibilities for irri gation are tremendous and the future development of water power no less so . He estimates nearly 900,000 horsepower can be generated in this stream by 16 dam sites already locat ed. An enormous increase can vie made by harnessing tributary streams. Livestock men of the whole coun try have been in session in Portland during the past week and while there learned many things about Oregon's growing livestock industry. Delegates to the National Livestock Exchange represented 14 leading stockyards centers of the United States. They handle an immense number of cattle each year, and went back to their homes with a better idea than they ever had before of Oregon's import ance as a livestock state. So succesful was the recent excur sion of the Portland Commercial club to Tillamook county that another special train load of Portland poopla will make the same trip June 25, 26 and 2 7. This excursion will be a visit to the Tillamook county beaches, rather than an industrial jaunt, and is calculated to give Portland people a better knowledge of the great country lying so close to their door, The Elks are making great prepa rations for the reunion to be held in Portland July 8-13. An elaborate decoration scheme is being worked out, the main streets being dressed In the national colors and in the Royal purple of Elkdom. Many thousands of visitors from all over the country will visit Portland that week and the Portland lodge has made preparations to care for all who come. Independence Day will be celebrat ed very widely in Oregon this year. Perhaps the generally fine crop out look throughout the state has had the effect of making the people unusually keen to enjoy a notable holiday. Anyway, many places will hold big celebrations. Albany will celebrate the coming of the Oregon Electric and is making big preparations. Ash land will have a big barbecue. Bend will celebrate for three days. The Dalles will have a week-long event In connection with a Chautauqua ses sion, and many other points are now making plans for a big day. Nurserymen of the whole country will go to Portland next summer for the annual convention. They met in Boston during the past week and gladly accepted Portland's invitation, presented by the commercial bodies and backed by the governor and mayor. Battleship Texas Greatest of SnperDreadnoughts 1 T HE battleship Texas, greatest of of the super-Dreadnoughts yet constructed for the United States navy, was successfully launched.

The Texas with all her stores aboard will displace 28.307 tons, or 1,000 tons more than the great Dreadnought Ar kansas, now about ready for com mis ilon. She is D73 feet long, ninety-flve feet two and a half Inches beam, so hnt she will have almost fifteen feet to spare in passing through the Pana ma canal locks.
