IN GREAT FAVOR
Farmers in Western Oregon May
Consent to Cut Up Big Tracts,
Says Manager Chapman on His
Return to Portland.
PORTLAND, Aug. 24. Manager
C. C. Chapman of the Portland Com
mercial club's promotion department,
is back from an extended iuforma-tion-getting
tour of Southern Ore
gon, and when seen was very much
elated over the results of tho trip.
"What I consider the most signifi
cant feature of the trip," said Mr
Chapman, in discussing his tour,
"was the favorable way the people
of the cities and towns, and the
farmers received the doctrine of col
onization, which I preached inces
santly. The great need of the whole
country throughout the South Wil
lamette, the Umpqua and Rogue Ri-
er valleys, is the cutting up of tho
big farms into smaller tracts, so as
to make them accessible to the new
comers who are prevented from ac
quiring farming lands because they
can only buy in extensive tracts, and
in most cases, for cash down. Many
of the fanners now owning tremen
dous acreages have been holding
their land for years and the senti
ment lias been against cutting up
these big tracts, although it has been
impossible, under this system, to
fully utilize the land, or keep it un
der anywhere near tho profitable
cultivation it is capable of.
"The energetic, ambitious eastern
ers who have been swurmiug into
Oregon have sought in vain, to secuio
small farm or orchard tracts for in
tensified cultivation, hecnuso unreas
onable prices have been asked, una
tho land-owners were unwilling to
sell their holdings in any except ox
tensive tracts', tho installment plan
of sale, too, has been looked upon
with little favor by tho land owners,
who have been wont to demand cash,
down on a "take it or leave it' basis..
Tliis has been very discouraging lo
the would-be purchasers, nnd it 1
one of the main reasons why the
population of the northwestern cit
ies has been increasing out of nil
proportion to tho country population.
Wherever I went on my recent trip I
explained these things as forcefully
as I could to tho peoplo that flocked
in from all directions. I had feared
that it might cause resentment, but
on tho contrary I found thut every
where tho peoplo wero interested, and
that they gave thoughtful consider
ation to what I was endeavoring to
impress upon them. Evon the old
timers, who havo been so strongly in
trenched in tho nnti-cutting-up sen
timent cnught tho idea right awnv,
und many of them declared for col
onization ou tho spot, and began to
consider marketing their lands in
small tracts, upon an installment
basis. I am suro tho scod sown will
bear fruit, nnd that in a few months
tho fertile valloys through which I
toured will bo easily acquirable,"

STORY TOLD OF

A curious story of love and rc
veugo is told by the man who has
charge of Banium & Bailey's simian
collection. The fact that it is the
love and revenge of an African mon
key doesn't abate tho human interest
in the narrative. The mau who tells
the story had charge of a shipment
of some 300 monkeys which were in
tended for the Barnum & Bailey
menagerie. The monkeys were con
fined in a large room nenr the furn
ace (the steamer was a freighter).
Among them were two unusually
intelligent simians who were releas
ed during the voyage and permitted
the freedom of the ship, nhnppily a
Hidden storm came up aud one of
the playful creatures was washed
