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

Drill Well to Irrigate.
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. This well is
probably the best one in the
state. This well was sunk for
experimental purposes, and is to
be used in this connection on the
home farm of the Sloper Brothers
6 miles south of Independence.
The experiments will be con
ducted under the direction of
Professor H. D. Scudder, of the
Oregon Agricultural College, at

NORMAL NOTES
Professor F. F. 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. Gordon, by name, passed

chased from J. B. Stump, which
he was was taking home for a
family cow. The purchase price
was $200.
