INDUSTRIAL NOTES.
(Portland Correspondence.)
An annual apple show that
will reach big proportions has
been determined on for Portland.
Tho first such exhibit will bo
held in November and it is ex
pected to have the entiro state
represented in a way never be
fore attempted. Tho Commer
cial Club, business men and
hotel's association havo all enter
ed heartily into tho project at
the instance of tho Oregon
State Horticultural Society, which
centennial this Fall by inaugura
ting n big annual apple fair thai
is expected to grow with each
passing year untill it attains pro
portions whero it will attract
national interest.
Oregon, in addition to nn effi
cient state militia, is to havo an
organization of Naval Reserves.
Steps have already been tnkon to
form such nn organization, which
will maintain tho same relation
to the navy in timo of war that
tho mnlitia docs to the army.
Ex-navy men nnd others inter
ested formed a temporary organ
ization at Portland during tho
past week. This will be made
permanent as soon ns possible.
Preliminaries for the annual
livestock show nnd races at the
Country Club grounds next Sep
tember are now under way and
tho arrangements indicate this
year's show will bo more suc
cessful than ever. Tho fair will
open on Labor Day and not only
Portland people but those of out
side points are interested in its
success.
Gray's Harbor people are talk
ing over tho project of building
a canal from that waterway
through Killapa Harbor to tho
Columbia River, thus giving a
deep water, dependable channel
to the sea. One meetiiig has al
ready been held and the people
are considering it seriously. It
is said such a project will cost
not over $1,000,000 arid in addi
tion to its aid to navigation, will
drain a territory covering 10,000
acres of marsh Ian I, now prac
tically worthless.

Information Sent Out by the Secretary of State.
DAIRV INDUSTRY OP U. S.
According to the last year book
of the Department of Agricul
ture, there are 21,720,000 milch
cows in the United States, and
these are worth $702,915,000.00.
The magnitude of the industry
can perhaps be best understood
when it is considered that these
cows produce yearly about $1,
000,000,000.00 worth of dairy
products.
There is no other branch of
diversified agriculture so impor
tant to the progress of n commu
nity. The fertility of the soil
can best be maintained by the
liberal use of barnyard manure
and the dairy herd not only
makes this possible, but dairying
is also more remunerative than
other branches of fanning when
properly carried on.
Dairying has made wonderful
progress since the advent of the
modern creamery and the con
sumer of butter has not only
been benefited by being furnish
ed a more wholesome and palata
ble article of food, but the wife
in the farm home has been re
lieved of the drudgery incident
to making butter on the farm.
Where formerly the cream was
ripened and churned into butter
under conditions not conducive to
fine quality in the finished pro
duct and in the majority of cases
by unskilled hands, now the most
of the milk or cream is delivered i
to a modern creamery whero
conditions nre suited to the pur
pose of making butter, and the
result has been a wonderful im
provement in the quality of our
dairy products. As tho quality j
has improved consumption hasi
increased and tho progress of,
dairying has been remarkable
during tho past decade. '
Tho perpetuity of the coun-l
try's greatness depends upon in
creasing the production of farm
products from year to year, a
result which not only furnishes
our people with food but main
tains the prosperity of our farm-'
ing communities. Increase in
production can only come through
improved methods of agricul
ture and soil improvement.
When it is considered that the
dairy cow is the foundation for
soil improvement and farming
prosperity, her importance is
best understood, und interest in
her should not bo confined to
her owner, Sho is an important
factor in tho devolopmont and
prosperity of our country.
