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.

be the first ship In the world to carrv
fourteen Inch puns. She will have ten
of them distributed in five turrets ar
ranged on a central line from stem
to stern. In addition to these mon

carry no less than sixteen five Inch
rifles In place of the little three and
four Inch guns that were formerly re
garded as sufficient for the secondary
