EBOUR PORTLAND LETTER
Portland, Or., June 27-Cen-tral
Oregon will form its pro
jected develpoment league late
this week at Prineville. A rep
resentative delegation from Port
land will go and officials of the
state league will attend, giving
all the help possible in getting
the new organfzation started
along right lines.
. Secretary C. C. Chapman of
the Oregon Development League
will attend and before returning
to Portland will traverse a part
of Eastern Oregon he has not
yet visited, reaching Burns,
Prairie City and other cities of
that territory. He wants to get
a close view of that section so as
to learn for himself the needs of
the people and the best means
for development.
Children of School District No.
112, near Hermiston, will be
given practical instruction in
agriculture, taxpayers of the
district having voted a special
tax to buy a tract of land lying
near the school grounds that will
be used as a farm. Competent
instructors in agriculture will be
secured and all the work of plow
ing, planting, irrigating, culti
vating and harvesting will be
done by the pupils under the
direction of the instructor.
Oregon's Agricultural College,
, at Corvallis, will have the best
facilities in the United States for
horticultural building, to cost $36
000, when completed. Work has
been started on the foundations.
In future, the college will lay
special emphasis on advanced
work in the study of orchard
problems, looking to the exter
mination of insect and fungus
pests and seeking to adapt dif
ferent varieties of fruits to the
various soils and climates to be
found in this state. This work
is, of course, undertaken at pres
ent, but with the additional fa
cilities it is expected much more
will be accomplished.
Pioneers are interested in the
purchase of ten acres adjoining
the site of the pioneer monument
at Champoeg to add to the three
acres already held there, making
a state park. A fund will be
raised for the purpose by sub
scription and the Legislature will
tasked at the next session to
repay the money advanced.
