OREGON STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST
CURE OF THE INSANE.
Oood Record the Pait Year at the
Oregon Aiylum.
Salem An unusually good record In
the caring of patient ha kept down
the oamber of inmate of the state in
an asylum and ha probably averted
congestion at that Institution . When
the laat legislator met, there was
every reason to believe that the con
traction of a new wing would be abso
lutely accessary within the ensuing two
year. An appropriation tor an addi
tion of three ward was made, but the
appropriation waa Included In the. om
nibus appropriation bill and ws held
op by the referendum. Construction of
new room waa therefore made impos
sible.
The usual rate of increase in popula
tion at the asylum is 50 per year, and
at that rate the institution would have
been crowded to tbe limit before anoth
er legislature could take action. Of
late, however, a large number of pa
tients have been discharged.
Should the next legislature make an
appropriation for a new wing, contain
ing three ward, it will be at least two
year from the present time before the
addition would be ready for occupancy.
There is now room for 68 more patients
in the men's department and ten in the
women's department. Unices, there
fore, the present low rate of increase
continues, tbe building will be full be
fore tbe capacity can be enlarged.
In any event it will be necessary to
transform one of the men's wards into
a ward for women, and probably it will
be Beceeaary to use some of the men's
smoking rooms for dormitories.
BUSINESS IS PROMISING.
Porta; Railroad Saves Farmers Five
Cents a Bushel on Wheat.
Salem That the operation of the
portage road from Tbe Dalles to Celilo
baa resulted in an increase of 6 cents a
bushel to wheat growing farmers, who
were able to reach the portage road, is
the report made by Superintendent L.
S. Cook, to the Portage Railway com
mission. Not all tbe wheat that brought
the increased price was shipped over
the portage road, however, for Mr.
Cook says that the O. R. & N. Co. has
met tbe cut brought about by the oper
ation of the state's railroad and farmers
have profited in that way.
The O. R. A N. met the cat by ab
sorbing drayage at Arlington and by
other means and thereby secured much
of the shipping. Only 18,139 sacks of
wheat went over tbe portage road dur
ing November, but more could have
been secured by seeking contracts and
more will be secured when the shippers
become familiar witn tbe rates.
SALEM WOULD CAN FRUIT.
Movement Started to Form Company
to Handle Output.
Salem A movement has been started
for the organisation of a co-operative
company among the fruitgrowers for
tbe purpose of constructing and oner
ating a cannery. The plan is to form
a corporation with 400 shares of stock
at 25 a share. Not more than 20
shares can be held by one person, and
transfers can be made only through the
board of directors. . The board will
consist of nine men and will have
charge of the bueineass of the concern.
The purpose is to secure to growers
the highest possible price for fruit.
The movement was started by S. J
Letnmon, an Eastern fruit packer, who
expects to take the management of the
co-operative cannery,
New Cut-Off Nearly Don.
McMinnville The new St. Joseph'
Lafayette cat-off, which is nearly com
pie ted, will enable the Yamhill divi
sion of the Southern Pacific to have
regular trains over the new raad within
a short time. The new stretch of track
is nearly two and a half miles lone.
and will do away with keeping up the
nine miles ot road from- VVhiteeon to
Lafayette and the big bridge near the
latter place. If the present schedule
remains in force, three trains a day
will run into Portland at 6 and 8 a.
m. and 3 p.m.
Snow Falls Early.
Burns The first snow storm of the
year has visited this county, and snow
is now 12 inches deep in the valley and
three feet on the mountains. This is
more snow than fell all last winter, and
old settlers say it is more than has fall
en this time of year since tbe bard
winter of 1887-88, when 75 per cent of
the stock periBhed." The early sntw
indicates a long, cold winter, but the
stockmen have plenty of fodder for five
months' feeding.
, Complaints on Illegal Fishing.
Tillamook Deputy Fish Warden H.
A. Webster has filed two complaints in
Justice Haberlack's court on account of
tbe alleged violation ot the fishing law
in Tillamook bay. One is agaisnt the
Elmore Packing company, and the oth
er against W. W. Ridehalgh, manager
of the cannery at Garibaldi.
DIGGING LONG TUNNEL.'
Baker City Irrigation Co. to Conduct
Water Through Hill.
Baker City The 600-foot tunnel of
the Baker City Irrigation company
through, the bill on which is situated
tbe city reservoir is onder way by a
gang of 40 men, with all the necessary
machinery. Work was commenced at
both ends simultaneously, and unless
tbe plans of the engineers go wrong,
the two crews will meet in the middle
of tbe bill.
When completed this will be the
greatest irrigation tunnel in Eastern
Oregon.
The entire cost of the tunnel will be
about f 40,000, while the system this
company is putting in will cost over
$100,000. Tb beadgates are on Pow
der river, about seven mile above
Baker City. The ditch follows tbe foot
hills down to the big reservoir hill,
where a tunnel was found necessary.
After leaving the tunnel tb water will
b taken around the east side of Baker
City and put on about 6,000 acre vf
land adjoining tb city limits on tbe
northeast .
This land will be devoted to fruit
raising and small fsrming. E. L.
Smith, of Hood River, is at the bead
of the company building this ditch,
and it is tb first and only irrigation
project of any magnitude in Baker
county.
Linn Farms May Yield Oil.
Albany Are the foothill of Linn
county charged with crude oil that will
make tbe owners of tbe land fabulously
rich? This question is agitating tbe
minds of a large number of people
since tbe investigation of the land baa
been taken up by A. A. Horter, Wil
liam 8. Harris and W. P. Keady. For
some time these men have been pros
pecting in the coal fields around La
cousb, and now have arranged to lease
several hundred acres in that neighbor
hood for the avowed purpose of boring
for oil.
Linn County Taxes Fixed
Albany At the regular December
term of the county court for Linn
county the tax levy for Linn county for
all purposes waa fixed. The total levy
to be paid by resident of the county
who are not subject to a city tax will
be 21 mill. This includes state,
county and the several special taxe.
divided as follows: State, 6.5 mills;
school, 5.4 mills; county, 3 mills;
roads and bridges, 4 mills; indigent
soldiers, 0.1 mills; special road, 2
mills; total, 21 mills.
Bright Outlook for Show.
Albany December 19 to 23 are tbe
date set for tbe annual exhibition of
blooded fowls under the auspices of the
Linn County Poultry association. This
bazaar promises to be one of the beet
yet held, and many prises will be offer
ed for the best exhibits, for many of
which there is material in Linn county.
