Newspaper Page TextHerald Vol. HI PORTLAND LETTER Portland, Ore., July 18 Wil lamette Valley counties will com bine to make splendid exhibits at the State Fair at Salem and later the fruits, vegetables, grains and grasses grown on Oregon soil will be sent East to be exhibited at five of the largest land shows in the country next Fall. At a meeting at Albany during the past week, repre sentatives from Linn, Benton, Marion, Polk and Lane counties agreed to the program and Yam hill county will join in the plan also. The Willamette Valley ex hibit will be shown at New York, Omaha, Chicago, Knoxville and St. Paul. The Hill interests will spend $25,000,000 in extensions and betterment to the properties in this state, according to advices received from the East. This sum will be made available for more mileage, aiding in the de velopment of the whole state. The United Railways and The Oregon Electric will be extended and other feeder lines of the North Bank road, the backbone of the Hill system in the North west, will be pushed. The State Land Board has finished a trip through the Lake view region, inspecting lands there under state control, and upon their return members of the Board expressed themselves as enthusiastic over the future prospects of that section of the state. In fact they were sur prised that any public land re mains in that part of Oregon. Mining men, capitalists and bankers of the southern part of the state have formed the South ern Oregon Mining Bureau, which shall gather and dissemi nate authentic information on Oregon mines. Men who have the confidence of the public have charge of the organization, which will publish a book telling of the state's mineral resources for the guidance of investors. Colonists rates to Oregon will again be in effect this fall, from September 15 to October 15, on a basis of $25 from St. Paul and the Missouri River to any point in this state, or $33 from Chicago. Railroad traffic officials expect there will be a heavy movement to the Pacific Slope this fall, for there is a heavy inquiry, al ready about the rates. The Commercial Club of Van couver, Wash., has the right dea. It will foster closer busi ness relations between the busi ness men of that city and the farmers throughout the county. Frequent visits to each part of the county will be made by the cJty men and every possible as sistance will be given those f the outlying country. Co operation in building roads and other matters of mutual benefit viN be the result of this policy. Oregon has a climate that is a reat asset but this fact is not generally recognized here at nome. It was impressed during tne past week however, when tne national convention of Chris tian churches was in session hti. R-'A. Lwrvt millkj$ieiu Monmouth, man, of Kansas City, who pledged a gift of $1,000,000 to wiry on me work of the church, said the Portland convention was the best in the history of the organization, and was due to the favorable weather which made it comfortable for the delegates at all times, so that the sessions were not tatiguing nor were the speakers tired and dull, as is often the case when the conven tions are held in Eastern o uUVx. 1 A VI O in Midsummer.

Sloper Brothers have just fin ished drilling a well which has a bore of 6 inches and a capacity of 500 gallons per minute, 30, 000 per hour, or 730,000 gallons every 24 hours.

Nalder, depu ty superintendent of Public In struction for the state of Wash ington, spent Tuesday at the Normal. He expressed himself as being much pleased with the outlook for the school and espe cially at the many improvements that are being made in the Nor mal building. Professor A. B. Beaumont, head of the Science Department in the Normal, spent Monday and Tuesday visiting the Agricultural College. He will spend his en tire time from now until school starts in planning and fitting up his department. When his plans have all been carried out, he will have, without doubt, one of the most modern and up-to-date lab oratories in the state. Mrs. Jacobson, the librarian, is busily engaged planning her work for the ensuing year. The libra ry rooms, which are situated in the North end of the building, will soon be ready for occupancy and they are being fitted up with all the conveniences necessary for library work. These rooms are to be used for study rooms', general reading rooms, and also for class work in library meth ods. The painting, docorating and plastering in the Normal building is doing much toward reiuvena tion, and as one realizes the beau ty of the rooms individually and collectively as they have been transformed, we must concede that Mr. Willman, the decorator who has the work in charge, is an artist in his line. He says ev erything will be completed and in good condition by the opening of school. President Ackerman is receiv ing many inquiries relative to the school, which indicates that ma ny are interested in the school He has mailed during the past week more than 1500 catalogues to the alumni and teachers. It has been suggested that it would be a good thing to hold an opening-day exercises com memorating the opening of the school. President Ackerman is very favorable to the idea and in all probability will take the matter up more definitely at a later date. He would be very glad to receive any suggestions that might be offered relative to it. Prof. J. B. V. Butler, Head of the Department of History and Civics, returned from San Fran cisco, Tuesday, where he has been attending the National Educa tional Association. He reports a pleasant and profitable time and that the Oregon headquarters at the Palace Hotel under the di rection of Prof. E. D. Ressler, with the exception of the Cali fornia headquarters, were the best organized and administered of any of the state headquarters. One of Portland's citizens, F. H.
