THURSDAY, NOV. 17, 1904.
Now that the presidential elec
tion U a thing of the past the
papers of the state should give
more space to advertising the 1905
fair and thus assist in advertising
the State of Oregon with a view to
its more rapid development. It is
becoming more apparent every day
that the fair is going to be a grand
success; that the attendance will
be very great, as thousands of
Easterners seeking investments and
homes will take advantage of the
low rates of transportation to visit
our state, and seeing for themselves
the opportunities for investment
and for securing comfortable homes
at a nominal price, will become
permanent residents.
Nowhere have realestate values
increased as rapidly as they have
in Morrow county the past five
years. A splendid illustration of
this fact is contained in an item
elsewhere in this issue of The
Times, regarding the sale -f Geo.
Turner's ranch north of Lexington.
Five years ago this land sold for
$320 a quarter section and now
sells for $2000. But Mr. Turner
admits himself that he sold too
cheap; that he did not get the ac
tual value of the land, realizing as
he does that one or two crops from
the land will pay for it. There
are hundreds of other farms in the
country just as good. All lands
are selling too cheap, but they are
gradually going up and it is only
a matter of a few years until its
real value will be reached.
TRIP TO SCOTLAND.
My friend Mr. Thompson and I then
pall for home, and the hospitality of
him and bis better half I never shall
forget, for aa I said before, without
theee friends I could never have seen as
ranch of Chicago aa I did.
Surprises come to a person when least
expected. Leaving my return ticket
with Mr. W. Cruickshank, a brother-in-law
of R. F. Ilyn J, I was surprised to
find oat that be bad told bis property in
Chicago while I was gone, and ready to
leave for Heppner tbe same day I was.
Bat going opposite routes, here we
parted, Mr. Craickthank leaving father,
later, and brothers behind, and all 1
wish htm is tuccets in Oregon.
At my titket takes me by way of St.
Lou; a, 1 drop off long enough to u alie a
trip around the Ferria wheel and take a
birdeeye view of the World' Fair. My
time is getting limited on my ticket ami
I can't stay long here, so boarding a
motor car at tbe gate I have a spin
through tbe grounds aud lo ate the
principal buildii.gs that I am interested
in, being a tiller oi the -oil and inter
eited in wljat the d fir-rent country c n
produce, 1 work my way to tl.e agricul
tural building of courre. Oregon fi.st;
but thii is a large build;ng and I have
some trouble iu fimiing it. liut pretty
aoon I am on the right trac k, and I
don't need to look for Oregon produce;
I can smell it my smeller being very
sensitive wLeo I inhale the steam of tne
Oregon pinne. Here they are cooking
prunes aud giving them over the counter
as fast as half a dozen ladies could dish
them out. This, I would say, is a
splendid way to advertise the Oreg n
prune. I was very proud of tbe Oregon
exhibit. Glancing first from one thing
to another, I come to Lantern Oregon
produce being wild and wooly. I start
to exatniae the Merino wool and We
very first tickets read, Conser & Hayes,
I'enland L. A L. Co., Wright Broa.,
McKnight Bros., and many more fan.il
iar names. Dividing up my time the
liest I knew bow, I next made for the
Forestry, Game and Fish building.
Here I again make for Oregon products.
Oregon putt op one of the most interest
ing exhibits at the Bt. Louis fair; her
flsb are well represented by large Chi
nook salmon; Ler game a prettier dis
play you couldn't wish to tee, for here
it the beautiful pheasant from the
valley walking around in reality. Ore
gon nine, known the world over, even in
Aold Scotland In the small country car
penter shops I heard it praise I, and to
see all tbe different kind of woods that
It represented at the fair It a treat, Of
course I ha 1 1 fe the big log on ex
hibition; this Wat ou the outside of the
butlJinjg along with lots more. Al
though the rain was pouring down at
the time, 1 waded out In the mud up to
my ahoetope to iuspeat the squared
timber. I forgot its diuiensious, but
saw nothing to equal it. So again I say
Oregon against the world, for I don't
believe there is any state in the Union
thitt cau represent so many of the differ
ent paying industries. But as my lime
is limited I take a turn atouud the big
wheel aud have a birdseye view of the
buildings and grouuds 2C0 feet above
the level.
Walking around taking in the sights
in general, I stumble onto a small buikt
iiig of French design, perhaps a repro
duction of the building of the thirteenth
ceutury. The windows of all old build,
ings of these times were small. I could
never understand this until my trip
over there. At that time the people
were taxed for each window according to
the size. So here in the fair'giouuda
this little old building represents an old
ion with the sign above the door, "The
Fair Maid of Perth." Of course I have
been in Scotland aud many a time in
Perth, the greatest sheep ceuter in
Britain, so while here in St. Louis I
walk in with the crowd to visit Perth's
Fair Maid; but to my sui prise I run up
against a stalwart "the landman" with
the Scotch uniform kilted to the knee.
Being of unusual size, I passed the re
mark that Dewr iu Perth had a very
good exhibit. Whiskey may make big
men over there, but iu these United
States 1 dou't believe this rule will work
the climate don't call for it. I don't
need any introduction to let him know
that 1 am Scotch; I simply walk up to
him and show him my Clan Tartan, a
necktie, I may mention, presented to
me before leaving Scotland by a clans
woman of the Clan Lindsay; so here in
St. Louis I am introducing myself by
the tartan I wear. I had a nice visit
with the landmau and walked out.
Looking around the old building I run
onto the Fair Maid of Perth sitting in
tbe yard as it were; inside a fence.
True to her raising and just as if I had
met be in Perth, she is busy at ber
needlework. Of course I make myself
acquainted, and have a friendly chat
"over the garden wall. She wore a
beautiful tartan plaid of the Clan
Stuart, so with a friendly goodbye I pass
along with tbe crowd.
Anotber Scotch view that was very
interesting was Robbie Burns cottage in
