C. ian of the Portland Com- il club and ho spoke very liastically of the work that the people in his part of te are planning. is not so much that we people in central Oregon," r. Hanloy, we can get very nicely as we have for many years, but the peo- the cities must bo awaken tho fact that the country 'be developed. Unless this ie they will wake up some ig and find themselves t the nocessarics of life. is wonderfully rich slate igon is today buying every- except perhaps wheat and that I am afraid they ave to buy in the not far distant future unless something be done towards the increase of our production. The immense areas of central and eastern Ore gon can be made .to yield twice the quantity of wheat now pro duced by following better meth ods of farming. "Eight inches of moisture will grow wheat in Oregon success fully and there is no place in central or eastern Oregon where the annual rainfall is less than eight inches. Hence by scienti fically employing the dry farm ing method immense areas can be added to tho acreage under cultivation. "When a man picks up a hand full of soil and pronounces it no good for agricultural purposes ho does not prove that the soil is not of value but illustrates that he is a weak man. Our soil in cen tral Oregon will produce grain and other crops in great abun dance, that wo know, but the farmer must understand how to work the soil to get tho best re sults. "This will be one of the big problems that will be taken up jfor discussion at the coming meeting of Prineville. Wo will take up in earnest the question ' of establishing experimental stations in central Oregon along tho lines of the new railroads, which we must admit are in nd vance of development of the soil. The people must do some thing toward the support of these railroads and toward their own support. There is too strong tendency among the people to live oil the earnings from the sweat of the brow of the other fellow. If the natural advantages that surround us be I taken advantage of, it will be an easy matter to solve such problems as tariff and reciprocity that now puzzle our Congress. "Central Oregon will have more railroads and railroad ex tentions as soon as the people indicate that they are willing and ready to developo tho coun try. Without development there is no use of railroad extentions. But this development will come and the railroads will be built. Tho people will have to provide I for themselves and it must come from the soil. The cities will ! not support their population un- less backed by tho resources of .the country. The sooner our people wako up to this fact, tho better for the country and them selves." NEWS PROAl VALI.EV VIEW.

Good roads for the entire state and not for any particulary local ity formed the broad view of the better highway movement that was the Bubject of discussion at the regular weekly meeting of the Portland Really Board held at noon yesterday, says tho Orc- gonian. The speakers told of the im portance of good roads for the uplifting of Oregon and were un animous in declaring that unless tho proper legislation were ob tained at the next meetingof the Legislature, the sentiment of the people shall havo grown so strong that the laws desired would un doubtedly be passed by tho in itiative. C. T. Prn'l, president of tho Oregon Association for Highway Improvement, was chairman of the meeting. He said that near ly all of the important organiza tions in the state were getting behind the movement for good roads. Ho said the question was becoming popular in districts where heretofore there had been more or loss prejudico against the building of better highwnys. James Cole, a director of the state association, and member of tho last Legislature, said that opposition to the good roads bills come from clnsses of peoplo who had not been educated to tho needs of importance of good roads. He said that the farming interests in somo localities helped to defeat tho measure becauso they believed that tho additional cost involved would fall too heavy upon them. He urged that a committee representing all inter ests nnd districts in tho state bo selected to work out a programme of road laws that would bo satis factory to the taxpayers at large. Speaking of good roads as a business proposition, John S. Beall said that good roads were essential and that tho money in vested in road construction in variably brings big roturns lo those who pay for good roads. Ho pointed out that whero thero were well built roads, tho farm ers are nblo to got back in a fow years all tho money Uiey wove required to spend upon them. Tho ability to carry larger loads at a saving of time, means dol lars and cents to every farmer. SCHOOL ELECTION DAY Superintendent Alderman Suggests More Attention be Given it THE PATRONS SHOULD INSPECT Make the Day an Annual Picnic and Show You Are a Live One by Taking Active Part in Improvements or Muttering Conditions That May Hxisl in District. This is real summer weather and vegitation is certainly grow ing. Stock men report grass on tho range tho best it has been for years. Oukcon Scuooii Patrens: May 1 not ask for your co-operation to the extent of giving a part of one day in the year lo the con sideration of public school ques tions?

INDUSTRIAL NO MS. (Portland Correspondence.) That this will bo the biggest year Oregon has ever known, with the biggest crop total in its history, is the prediction made by Dr. James Withycombe, dir ector of the United Slates Exper iment Station at Corvallis. He estimates that tho total value of Oregon crops for 1911 will be more than $125,000,000. Tillamook will celebrate the opening of its railroad from that city to a point in the Neha len Valley near Wheeler on July 1. This road will probably be opened between Portland and Tillamook in the Fall. German-speaking societies of this city havo raised a fund to be used in connection with a sum provided by the Commercial Club to be extended in attracting German immigration to Oregon. It is planned to devote the money to the publication of Ger man BookloLs lolling of the ad vantages Oregon offers to tho settlers and in answering letters of inquiry in German language. Oregon's newly ormed Naval Reserve will have a flagship be fore the end of the month for the United States Cruiser Boston has been ordered transferred to duty at Portland and will bo brought here during the coming week by the oflicors of this or ganization. It will thereafter bo the headquarters of the Re servo and will participate in practice cruises lo train the offi cers and men in naval maneu vers. Postmasters of tho state, who wero in convention at Portland during tho past week, endorsed the postal savings bank system and urged its extension through out Oregon. Postmasters whero these institutions have been tried wero earnest ud vacates for them elsewhere. Next June postmasters of Oregon and Washington will meet in Port land. Portland now claims to have tho fastest moter boat in tho world, the Oregon Wolf having just been launched, and it inado its first appearance at races ran during tho Rose Festival. This craft was built solely for speed purposes and it is expected to race her throughout the country. She runs the rate of 41 miles an hour. Bankers of the state have been in session in Portland the past week and they say never before has banking been in such a sat. isfnetory condition in Oregon. The report of President Martin declared there was more railroad building last year than ever be fore and pro.'pccts for the entire slate were never belter. With tho big crops now in sight, a pros perous year is certain. INDEPENDENT PACKING" HOUSE. With a plant modem in every detail and with improvements that will make the plant the most sanitary in the whole coun try, Schwarzschild & Sulzberger, the great independent packing concern will operate in Portland with in a year. Contracts for the site have been signed by representatives of Swift and Co. and Sulzberger & Sons, the parent house of Schwartzchild &. Sulzberger of Oregon, which will operate the Portland plant. The plant will be located on a beautiful piece of ground ,about a quarter milo east of the stock yards and the Union Meet Com pany. The site is just east of the roadway which leads from Kenton to the stockyards. Plans for the plant are now being made. The cost is now estimated at $f00,000. although until the details of the plans are fully carried out it will be impos sible to state what the exact cost will be. J. L. Slerrett, manager of Schwarzschild & Sulzberger of Oregon stated that he had been instructed by Sulzberger & Sons to secure all possiblo information regarding the formation of the ground on the newly acquired site. Therefore borings will be made to fully determine the strength of the ground at that point. "The S. & S. company intends to remain in Portland and will operate a most modern plant," said J. L. Sterret, local manager. "Notwithstanding our present handicap of sufficient room and facilities to do business properly our trade is growing." While Mr. Slerrett was non committal regarding whether S. it S. have secured an equal share in tho stockyards with the Swifts Co. from other sources it has been ascertained that the deal was highly satisfactory in this respect. The final decision of S. & S. to locate in Portland with a modern packing plant assures this city of holding its place as the live stock center of the Pacific North west, HAILKOAD SPECULATION. , A Boise paper says: That the Northern Pacific and Grentwortn ern will sever their relations within the next few years is the general opinion among Portland railroad men. Not only will they quit their partnership in tho Burlington, but also in the North Bank road and tho Hill road in Oregon, is the prediction made by those who aro acquaint ed with tho Great Nothern's movements. As a result tho voice of the Burlington will be heard in fu ture development work in the northwest. Mr. Hill has announc ed that ho desires to provide for various improvements nnd exten sions before retiring and princi pal among them are those in Oregon. Tho fact that George 11. Harris chairman of tho board of direc tors of tho Burlington system, accompanied Louis W. Hill on the recent trip into Central Ore gon is taken to indicate that slops aro being taken to make tho Burlington more active in northwestern affairs. MuiieHnum.
