Sixth and Pacific Highway I II SOUTHERN DREG SCENIC WONDERS EXPECT WATER TO QUADRUPLE TOLD COLORADO GAWNERY OUTPUT Sap-and-Salt Sing Glories On Auto Trip From East Boosts Southern Oregon, Where Rocky Mountain Scenery Abounds. Jesse Winburn and Bert Moses are in town for a week or so, stopping at the Broadhioor. They are crossing the continent in a big Cadillac limou sine. .The. trip began in New York City arid will end ut Ashland, Oregon. Wiuburn is a retired business man, and Moses is tho man who writes tho epigrammatic paragraphs now appear ing in the principal papers under the heading of "Sap and Salt." The home of Jesse Winburn and Bert Moses is six miles up the canyon from Ashland, Oregon. Here a resort S. S. JJullis Expects to Do $200,000 Business This Year Big Acreage Signed - Up 840,000 Cans of Local Products Sold Last Year. From a vacant lot last year, to a $200,000 business outlook this year is the proud claim of the ltuRiie Kiver Valley Canning company. The present plant at Front and Thirteenth street was constructed last year, rushed to completion in time for the harvest, and '35,000 cases or 'S 10,000 cans of Rogue River Valley fruit and products, consisting of apples and pears,, black berries, beans, tomatoes, and prunes shipped out to the markets of the land. The business last year amounted to has been built of native fir logs in approximately $50,000. and will be ijuuu i Hjt-u tills yeui, m:i;ui HIIIH lu UIU present outlook. Double the number of contracts on hand last year are now signed. In-1921 approximately 300 tons of pears, and about 800 tons of apples were canned. Some prunes were canned last year for tho first time and this phase of the business will be further developed this yeiir; . ' Last yeaf the canning company had on Its payroll in the neighborhood of 50 women, and, this season will em ploy between 100 and 12a women. The realization of irrigation in this yalley, will increase the business or the canneries as ' Irrigation is the established handmaid of the cannery industry in all sections where it 1s on a firm basis. Irrigation is expected to increase the acreage for small fruits, berries, and vegetables here, all of which will find a ready market at the canneries. Tho Rogue River Valley Canning company is under the management of S. S. Bullis, and R. D. Hoke, with many years of practical experience, in In'chargo of the processing. the midst of 1G0 acres of virgin forest. The place is called - "Sap-and-Sit in-the-Woods" in honor of the work of Moses. This site is surrounded by a government reservation of many thou sands of acres, and no hunting is per mitted eitherby the government or by Jesse Winburn, who owns the resort. Out in front of the 'cabins where Winburn and Moses live the wild deer come at night to lick the salt that has been placed there for them, and any day these beautiful creatures can be seen browsing in the brush around the place.' The elevation is "4000 feet at the cabins, and six miles further up the canyon, Mt. Ashland lifts its snpwy top, 8,000 feet toward the Bky. The melting snows come rushing down the canyon to form Ashland creek and sup ply the village below with its fine water. Not more than 100 feet from tho cabin door the creek (lushes over the rocks, and in these- icy waters moun tain trout leap to the fatuous fly when ever the angler chooses to lure them. ' AH about Is the virgin forest. An- Lcient pines and firs rise as high as 250 feet, some of the sugar pines meas uring eight feet and more in diame ter. Here the woodsman and his heart less ax have not yet wrought their de struction, and here this generation can look UHn the same primitive scenes that the Indians -viewed before civilization began its work of waste and destruction. Here, away from the struggle and tumult and noisome odors of the city here where the clang of the trolley and the whistle of the traffic cop are unknown Bert Moses does his work, taking" human nature to pieces and putting it up in homeopathic doses for public consumption. What he writes makes people smile and think.' To lyim no mission In life is higher than this. Both Winburn and Moses lived long in New York city, chasing the elusive dollar. They had their fling at life where population was large and where acreage" was small. '" Now they find more joy where conditions are "re versed.- Trees in a forest are more trustworthy companions than men In a city. A pino tree smokes no cigar ettes, passes no buck, borrows no money and does no double-crossing. What a fine thing it would be if the same could be said of men! Entertains at Cabin Winburn is a unique character. He holds in his heart ft warm corner for two classes of humanity -children anfl newspaper men. These he entertains freely at the- Sap-and-Salt . cabins, away up the Ashland creek canyon. He extends to the newspaper ' people a standing invitation to come .to tills re sort whenever they can and stay as long as they please. ''He has but two fixed' rules that he enforces. ' One is that his guests bring their old clothes, so they may really have a good time, and the" othefig that they bring no money. Anything in the shape of legal tender Is taboo. Many newspaper folks have come, worn and weary, to Sap-and-Salt-in-the-Woods. When they departed a new luster was In their eyes, a new vigor in their limbs, a new courage in their hearts. The Invigorating air of the canyon, the companionship of the pines and firs, the home cooking of old Mrs. Weston, the rich milk from the cow Frances Edith, the eggs from the fine Black Minorca liens, the exercise supplied byvlgorolis application of the ax, the hikes up the canyon trail, and the sweet sleep invited' by the lullaby of the creek as it dashes over the rocks on its long journey to the sea all these restore what the struggle In the city has taken away from1 the overworked newspaper boys and newspaper girls, too. Moses roams the universe in Imagi nation, while Winburn has roamed it in person. He. has been everywhere there is to go, and bumped into every thing "there is at houie and abroad. He has wandered all around the earth, and been-soclose to the' North Pole that Doc Cook has nothing on him. When asked his opinion of Colorado Springs,' he Eaid the scenery here was equaled only by that around Ashland. Oregon.
