FOREST GROVE PAID VISIT
Headed by President Strahorn, Su
perintendent Campbell, Chief Engi
neer Burkhalter, and
Passenger
Agent Scott, the Portland Commer
cial Club Special inaugurated the
electrification o f the Southern Pa
cific lines in Oregon by the most suc
cessful “ Get-acquainted” excursion
on record. A representative crowd
from all sections of Northwestern
Willamette
Valley,
500
strong,
boarded the six-car special at the
Union depot at 8 o’clock, spending
the entire day making the loop via
Beaverton, Newberg, McMinnville,
Forest Grove, and many wayside
communities.
At five p. m. the boosters arrived
in Forest Grove and were marched
through the business section o f the
city, and through the campus o f Pa
cific University.
They held ar. im
promptu assembly in Marsh Hall and
were addressed by President Bush-
nell, and several members o f the in
vading troop, including E. B. Piper,
editor o f the Oregonian, C. C. Chap
man, of the i Portland Commercial
Club, Dr. W T j. Kerr, president o f O.
A. C., and Robert E. Strahorn, presi
dent of the P. E. & E. Enthusias
tic cheers greeted President Bush-
nell sa he endeavored to address the
“ mob.” Shouts o f “ Do We Like
H im ?” “ You bet we do.” “ Is he
rig h t?”
“ Absolutely,” intermitted
by honks and whistles were not con
ducive o f elegant oratory, but were
in order with the informality o f the
day.
Representatives from here making
the trip were: Harry Goff, Mayor
O. M. Sanford, Chas. Roe, E. W.
Haines, L. M. Graham, A. G. Hoff
man, J. W. Hughes, B. F. Purdy, A.
E. Scott, C. J. Bushnell, George H.
Currey, W. K. Newell R. P. Wirtz, R.
F. Emerson, H. B. Johnson, and S. E.
Todd.
Thefollowing information pertain
ing to the country passed though
was contained in a leaflet distrib
uted to all on board.
Highly Productive Country
No area of equal size in the world
is better adapted than are these two
counties, (Yamhill and Washington)
for diversified agriculture. Dairying
fruit growing, live stock, general
farming, truck gardening, in nearly
can be and are conducted in these
counties with a degree of perfection
and profit seldom equalled in the Pa
cific northwest and hard'y approached
in any other portion of the continent.
The soil is deep and rich, and well
drained. Some of the most important
prune orchards in the Northwest,
some of the largest hop yards, sever
al o f the finest apple orchards, innu
merable berry patches, and some of
the finest walnut groves o f the coast
are located in these twocounties. This
interurban
electric
transportation
will stimulate development along all
these lines.
Large farms will be
cut up into small farms and this pro
ductivity will increase by leaps and
bounds.

Traveling like a three-ring circus
the special demonstration train sent
out by the Oregon Agricultural
College, the Southern Pacific railway
and the Portland, Eugene & Eastern
Railway, will reach Forest Grove
Febuary 3 and will be prepared to
give a demonstration and lecture be
tween the hours of 1:10 and 3 p. m.
The demonstration train will not
have any tents to put up but,is carry
ing its fancy bosses from O. A. C.
and its thoroughbred porkers in lux
urious private cars, they are exhibit
ed on flat cars and in case o f bad
weather coaches will be thrown open
to accomodate the crowds who wish
to learn of the best manner o f mak
ing money from dairy and hog pro
ducts in Western Oregon. There is

also a special car provided for hous
in g a complete dairy equipment.
The train is sent out by the rail
roads because of their desire to co
operate with the farmers of the dis
trict, all expense being paid by those
companies.
There is no charge for admission
to the exhibits or lectures, the latter
being in the hands of capable men as
Professors Hetzel, Withycombe, Gro
ves and Potter o f O. A. C., Prof.
Barr, of U. S. Department of A gri
culture, and W. K. Newell, president
of the State Board o f Horticulture.
It has only been three years since
the farmers of Western Oregon be
gan raising hogs. Since then the in
dustry has taken advanced ground,
and hog raisers have made money.
The lectures aboard the special dem
onstration train will tell how it is
done successfully and will show
where the bossies and porkers work
together.
The great success that has attend
ed demonstration trains operated in
the encouragement of other indust
ries gives hope that a great crowd
o f farmers will gather at the Forest
Grove depot. Every resident is not
only welcome, but is urged to at
tend. The train will be at Gaston
from 10:30 to 12 o’clock, Tuesday
morning.
