miles along the river. The pro
ducts of these factories are but
ter and cheese; yet the dairy in
dustry here is in its infancy. The
grading, caring for, and feeding
tho cows is practiced with little
regard to scientific methods.
The lumber industry of this part
of tho state is no small item.
Millions of feet of lumber in one
form or another passes through
tho harbor at the mouth of the
Coquille river every month. This
is also a great vegetable and fruit
country. It is best adapted for
small fruits. The Logan and
blackberry grow to perfection
here. A modern evaporator and
cannery were- built here this
year.
The country is very much un
developed. With our boat sor
vico and little "jerkwater" rail
road wo do not feel so isolated as
in Harney county, and yet con
ditions arc- very much the same.
We are haunted over here by tho
same nightmaro that haunts
you. Wo aro afraid the railroads
will got to coming so thick that
wo will not know which way to
dodge.
The p resent railroad and de
velopment and general prosper
ity news which comes from East

binger of better things ai no dis
tant day. No ono rejoices in
these things more than the
writer.

It IHJUNS, Oregon
A stale wide campaign will be
started by commercial organiza
tions of Oregon lo got recogni
tion from the Government lo
which the slate is entitled in tho
distribution of reclamati'on funds.
This movement will be along the
lines adopted by the Pendleton
Commercial Association at its re
cent meeting in indorsing the
west extension of tho Umatilla
project.
C. C. Chapman, secretary of
the Oregon Development League,
who attended llio I'endleton
meeting, believes the campaign
will succeed. He find the pros
pects exceedingly favorable for
the President to make the allot
meiit lo Oregon for the Umatilla
project, now that the people of
Pendleton and the surrounding
country have gone on record
favoring the extension.
"There was much opposition
at the Pendleton meeting," said
Secretary Chapman, "based on
fears that it work a hardship jon
settlors and land owners of Uma
tilla county. In spite of this op
position, the proposition war. in
dorsed on its incrilx and steps
will be taken to secure recogni
tion of claims of settlers who may
feel themselves damaged. In
face of this feeling of private in
terests, Pendleton business men
indorsed the extension, believing
it would be of benefit to Oiegon.
"The extension will open up G0
000 acres, suslaininga population
of from 20,000 to 50,000 people.
The land will be adapted lo di
versified farming, intensive agri
culture and fruit growing.
"Commercial organizations of
tho state will adopt resolutions
calling for Oregon's share of re
clamation funds and is the time
for everyone to write to the
President asking for a fair ap
portionment. Six other states
have had .'IbO per cent, of their
contributions from the sale of
lands returned to them for recla
mation work, while Oregon has
had but 18 per cent. I can not
but think that'a popular demand
upon tho President will bo of
great influence in securing his
favorable consideration."

A DEMONSTRATION IN GOOD KOADS
A demonstration road a quarter
of a mile long is to be built at
the Union Experiment Station
by the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege in order lo teach tho farmers
of that district the methods of
building and maintaining good
market roads. The land there is
a sandy loam which lends itself
readily to the sand-clay and oiled
earih methods of construction,
both of the cheapersorl, one sec
tion of the new road will be an
ordinary earth road properly
crowned and drained but not
maintained. Another built like
it. will be kept in repair with a
road drag. A third will show
the sand-clay process, and a
fourth will be treated with a
heavy oil. Careful record of the
cost of construction and main
tenance will be kept.

CIIASUD BY A BEAR.

ago while out hunting ducks.
A party of four went up the
river for ducks and one of them
was away from the crowd when
he came running back, all out of

bear to verify his story. Here is
the stery:

When Charles Warren Fair
banks came to the United States
Senate it placed me in an awk
ward position as bis mother and
my father were first cousins who
had kept closer in touch with
each other than many brothers
and sisters, although they had
lived in widely separated parts
of the United States since early
childhood.
Fairbanks was tall and thin
when he first came to the Senate
and immediately presented the
finest opportunity for the carica
turist that the Senate offered.
I thought it all over and staked
him out for a brief interview re
garding the matter which turned
out more agreeably all around
than I had expected. As I ex
plained to him, if I should draw
serious pictures of him and cari
catures of the other members of
the Senate we would soon find
ourselves in the same rut with so
many poor sports who like to
poke fun at the other fellow and
save themselves. He agreed with
me that such a thing would
never do, in fact he advised that
I should go ahead with him, for
get our relationship and friend
ship and treat him just the same
as other senators. I asked him
if he would explain this to Mrs.
Fairbanks and he said he would,
whereupon I proceeded, and my
first picture of him took up twe-
"Fairbanks 2
thirds of the paper in length and
one column in width. I followed
it up the next day with one show
ing him receiving some friends
in the visitors' gallery and hold
ing Senator Mason up in his arms
to meet these people. Mason
sent for me later and threatened
violence if I ever showed him
again in company with that long
legged grasshopper, as he called
him, from Indiana.
1 was feeling remarkably
pleased with myself that the only
danger I need fear was from Ma
son, as I had, thoughtfully for
once, fixed it with the Fairbanks
family, before I commenced
But the next afternoon while
walking with a friend on Penn
sylvania avenue, just after the
matinee was out, 1 met Mrs. Fair
banks and bowed as politely as 1
knew how, whereupon sho lifted j
her chin in the air, quickened her
pace anil walked rapidly by. My
friend was certain I had been
snubbed, but 1 told him I thought !
she had not really recognized me. j
However, he insisted that I
should feel snubbed over this I
seemingly luko-warin treatment.
So to prove lo him that there was
some mistake in his view-point, '
