INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND
PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE
PEST WORSE THAN FIRE.
Forests Suffer Millions of Dollars by
Insect Onslaught.
Medford Presenting the fact that
insects do more damage in the forest
than do forest fires, B. I. Shannon,
secretary of the Jackson county fire
patrol association, secured the assist
ance of the Medford Commercial club
in working for the establishment of
local field station here by the bureau
of entomology.
"There is more than four and one
half billion feet of good commercial
timber tributary to this little valley
of 30,000 acres, to say nothing of the
immense acreage of yellow pine on
the east slopes of the Cascades," sai
Mr. Shannon. "Besides that amount
there is nearly 2,000.000,000 feet
readily accessible in West Josephine
county and on the West Siskiyous.
"The damage done by the insects
alone, now, in the National forest is
equal to the loss by forest fires, and in
private holdings this is also true
There are variations of from 400 to
1,400 feet in elevation in this district
and there is the wet, warm climate of
the west slope contrasting with the
cold, arid conditions of the east slope,
making the investigations cover
large field. An entomological station
here would mean a saving of thousands
and perhaps millions of dollars in tim
ber destroyed in the Crater National
forest and private holdings."
NATION TESTING APPLES.
Government Experts Try Keeping
Qualities of Fruit.
Hood River After having spent
Thursday afternoon and Friday morn
mg obtaining data on local storage
conditions, B. B. Ramsey and H. J.
Pratt, experts from the pomological
offices of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, left for White
Salmon, where they will conduct the
same work.
The experts, who have been in Cali-
forna for the last few years working
on systems of refrigeration for citrus
fruits, say that the government is
planning to make extensive experi
ments in fruit storage and transports
tion in the Northwest. They will
visit all of the principal apple sec
tions of the Northwest between now
and picking time and make a study of
the different soil conditions of every
locality.
Apples will be obtained from every
district by the experts and will be
subjected to tests to ascertain their
keeping qualities. This season's
work, it is said, will merely be pre
liminary. The experiments next year
will be on a larger scale.
The government experts inspected
the Union warehouses and were pre
sented with Yellow Newtowns grown
last year. The fruit was in a perfect
state of preservation and of excellent
flavor.
DEER LAWS STRICT.
For-
Shipment of Game From State
bidden by Ruling,
Salem Deer hunters from Califor
nia will be disappointed to learn that
hereafter no deer carcasses, horns or
any part of the animal killed in this
state can be taken into California.
The law in this regard was recently
construed by Attorney-General Craw
ford, and every precaution will be
taken by officers of the Fish and Game
commission to see that it is enforced.
Attorney-General Crawford's decision
is that the commission has no author-
ty to issue permits to take deer
killed in this state across the line into
California. The only condition under
which game can be taken out of the
state is for propagation or exhibition.
Already a number of applications have
been received for permission to take
game out of the state, and these have
all been denied.
FUNDS RAISED FOR FAIR.
Klamath Falls Plans Big Exposition
This Fall.
Klamath Falls That Klamath will
have the greatest county fair this fall
in its history is believed by those who
are promoting the project, several
prominent men have taken hold of the
affair and promise to build grand
stands, exhibit booths, stalls for stock
and other necessary structures.
Business men have been asked to
raise $l,ouU for purses, and already
volunteer donations of $900 have been
made. It is planned to hold a four-
day fair, with racing and other sports.
GOLD STAMPEDES BEND.
City Nearly Unpeopled By Report of
Rich Strike.
Bend What is characterized as the
most remarkable gold rush experienced
in Oregon for many years burst into
full swing at Bend last week. As a
result of the discovery of quarts,
which assays have shown to contain a
commercially valuable amount of gold,
the town is all but deserted. The
gold-bearing quarts was discovered 12
miles west of here on the edge of the
forest reserve among the foothills of
the Cascade mountains. Several mer
chants deserted their stores and joined
the army of gold seekers. In the van
of prospectors are Beveral ex-miners
recently come from Alaska, whose en
thusiasm concerning the discoveries
has had much to do with the general
excitement
As far as can be ascertained, the
first discovery, upon which work was
actually done, was made by Carl Lade
wig, a Bend man who has spent much
of his time prospecting in the adja
cent country. Ladewig let a number
of local men of means into his secret,
and a group of claims was taken. It
was not until several weeks after the
inauguration of this secret work that
its nature became generally known.
Then the rush started.
Assays from the original group of
claims, which have been christened
the Golden Raes, have run from (5 to
$10 a ton, free milling ore. However,
the rock assayed thus far has been
taken entirely from the surface. Sev
eral tunnels are being driven, and,
according to the miners working
them, the appearance of the rock en
countered is becoming more promis
ing. Already over 50 claims have
been staked.
PAST WILL BE TOLD.
Historical Institute to Have Noted
Speakers at Astoria,
Salem Several more speak ers who
will participate in the historical edu
cational institute, which will be held
in Astoria September 5, 6 and 7, have
announced their intention of being
present.
George H. Himea, president of the
Orgeon historical society, will be
among the speakers. Professor F. G.
Young of Eugene, secretary of the
same society, will speak on "Signifi
cant Oregon History for the Life of
Today." Professor Joseph Schaefer,
of Eugene; Frederick V. Holman, of
Portland; Eva Emery Dye, Oregon
City, and State Superintendent Alder
man will be among the other speakers.
As nearly as possible historical ad
dresses will be given on the spot where
the incidents which furnish the sub
ject matter for the addresses occurred.
Superintendent Alderman is conn-
dent that these "on the spot" histori
cal addresses will be the cause of
widespread interest throughout the
Northwest and that the institute both
along educational and historical lines
will be among the greater successes of
the Astoria Centennial celebration.
COOS ENLISTS MORE MEN.
Oriole Mine to Install Mill.
Grants Pass The Oriole mine in
the Gal ice district will put in a big
gold mill. Heretofore the company
has been shipping the ore to Tacoma,
but this will be brought to an end by
installation of the mill. The com
pany has an overhead ledge exposure
600 feet. This compnay ha3 in opera
tion a power plant connected with
Rogue River. The mine's tunnels,
crosscuts and drifts make about one
mile of underground work.
35-Cent Hop Offer Refused.
Salem Geroge L. Rose states that
he received and refused bona fide
offers to sell 250 bales of 1911 hops
for 35 cents. He would not say who
made the offer. The same kind of an
offer was made to McLaughlin &
Hirschberg, of Independence, by the
same parties. Cables received here
indicate that crop conditions both in
Germany and England continue to be
worse.
County's Naval Reserve to Be Trained
on Cruiser Boston.
Marshfield Coos county now has
better representation in the Oregon
naval militia than any other county in
the state. With the organization of
the new division at Bandon the county
has three divisions in the reserve and
the Coos Bay band besides. The total
number of enlisted men is about 150.
Twenty-five from Marshfield and 10
from the new Bandon division have
gone to bring back the cruiser Boston,
which will be here August 16 to remain
two months. In that time, all the
men will receive training on the ves
sel. The new Bandon organization
will be known as the fifth division.
The commander is Dr. L. P. Sorenson,
who has the rank of junior lieutenant.
Dr. bmitn J. Mann is assistant sur
geon, and barl b. uher, ensign. Dr.
E. Straw, senior lieutenant, of
Marshfield, has command over all three
divisions. Uniforms will at once be
furnished the Bandon men and a drill
hall has already been provided for.
Fair Success Assured.
' Medford Raising $900 at a meet
ing of 30 men, with promises of more,
the committee of merchants and busi
ness men are assured the success of a
district fair here in October. The
only difficulty has been that of raising
funds, and it was finally decided to
pell stock at $50 a share in a $5,000
fair corporation.
A few men, with limited liability,
will be behind the fair, and in case of
rain or other untoward event, will
stand for the losses. Two commit
tees, one to sell stock and another to
take subscriptions, were appointed.
Fruit Shipments Begin.
Medford Beginning fruit ship
ments from the Rogue river valley, a
car of mrtlett pears was shipped
from the Irwin tract in the Burrell
orchard. The pear crop promises to
exceed the estimated 400 carloads,
ana tne association is even now
clamoring for pickers and packers.
The hot weather in July has made the
fruit ripen well, and it is in excellent
condition for picking. The greater part
of the pear crop here will be Bartletts.
Many Hunt in Curry Mountains.
Marshneld Many hunters are now
in the mountains of Coos and Curry
counties after deer. Several sought
the most favored places several days
before the open season began so that
they would be first on the ground.
