Hi) was seen at bin hotel liy a (llaeier representative and askoil as to new developments in the proposal now road. "Tell mo sum s tliinK that is positive?" ho was asked. "I'lio only positive tiling that 1 know, is that a road is Koiu dow n the north hank of the (.'ulnmliia river. 1 am sure of that, liy w hom 1 cannot say and if 1 knew I would (li.-clo.so. lint yon can iv?t. assured of one feat ure and that is that a road is to he litiilt. 1 am l uck hero and el ision up all the deals w heio we have contracts. 1 am netting all I lie deeds possililv mid have lieen attempting to K"t other contracts, Imt in many instances have lieen held iip.owini,' to the owners tak ing advantage of the situation and at temptitiK to "hold ns up." 1 have talked to most all the owners and ex plained to them that it is to their ad vantage to close with me, for I am confident that 1 w ill ivo them more than double they will tiot if wo are forced to innatinurato condemnation proceedings. The sectirhiK of a riht of way has been a serious task. There are too many of tho ranchers who are holding out in hopes of securing prices to thei" 1 nd that is all nut of reason. 1 have attempted to he fuir with I hem and in many cases have ottered pi ices that are far in excess of tho real value. "Of course 1 have been handicapped to a certain extent in not beitiK able to just tell w here the stakes of tho new survey will ho. Our eti(ineoniiK corps is working as fast as possible, but it will bo some weeks before the engineer will be able to net in at this point. It nitty be possible that when be does come, and the chniiKOM made in the old survey that we are now fol lowing that 1 will have smoother mil iii and will allow me an opportunity of tolling the ow ners just whore wo are Kointf to and just what we are n itu to do." Mr. U plight left ou Monday evening for White Salmon to take the matter up with those who have been holding out for more money. The Krontest stumbling block that has so far been encountered by those securing a ri'lit of way, is the lack of a delinite ex pression of just what will be done. Homo hold out and demand that a de pot be placed on tho farm. If a depot was placed on every farm where it is desired the stations alotiK the new road, supposed to lie the Northern l'aoille, would lie about every farm. Owiiin to tho hili prices t.'utt are boiiiK placed upon a Knmt deal of tho land it is sttKcsted that tho assessor w ill be one of the busy individuals when it comes time to make the as sessment. If the assessol Hhould at tempt to assess the land at prices held by many who have been solicited for a right of way, it is a foregone con clusion that a serious proposition would be confronted.

This I'cmvoes all the olijeotionnhle points with the exception of tho val ley whore ho many ralualile strawlierry ranches aro to he destroyed. There seems to ho a change of heart amoiiK many of the owners, too. Ihey seem to realize now that the road is a fore gone conclusion and many who have held out and in many instances who have taken Icnl advice, have arrived nt the conclusion that thev w ill do far ! better hy making a contract with the riht of way man than they will ulti ; rnatuly receive should tho matter he draped through the courts in con demnation proceedings. Will It u i I t Farther South. Tho dreat Southern will no doulit IiiiiM farther south than Oufur, and the ohject is to open up a laro por tion of country in the interior, which will yield ahundantly in cereal KrowtliH. Tiiia roa.l will also furnish a market for the valuable limber, milliouH of feet of which abound in the forests in thut region. The railroads in Oregon have here tofore done very little for the interior of the utate, and the people will wel come a competitor in Kastern Oregon which will deal fairly with tho whole state, aud the llarriman system will not do this, it is believed the (ireat Southern is independent of the dom inating influence of this great rail road king, and it haa been surmised that tt ia under the control or J. J. Hill, who haa proved himself the most iiublio-Hpirrted railroad builder in the northwest. It lias by reason of his liberal policy that the state of Wash ington has outstripped Orenon in the race after commercial supremacy dur ing the last few years. Mr. Kill has developed the interior of Washington, and the growth of that state has lieen phenomenal. If he controls the Oroat Southern the people should rejoice, for it will mean development for the interior, and Eastern Oregon receiv ing as fair treatment as Western Ore gon. Hut the llreat Southern must get to the river, and to this end The Piillcs should give every possible aid. Chronicle.

Kodgers, W ho Vis ited Hero last Hummer. The apple industry lu the Pajaro valley, Calif., Is described as follows by President C.1I. Kodgerg of the Ap- le Growers association, in a recent issue of the California Cultivator: The valley was discovered in Octo ber, 17011 by the Portola expedition. which, under instructions from King it Spain, had been sent north by land from San Diego in search of Monterey Hay. Alter the long, tiresome march over desert an i parched soil, 80 pleaa- ing was the contrast between toe scene spread before the little company of explorers ou first viewing the valley compared with that region which they had recently traversed, tlie scribe of the expedition in his records gives ex- prtssion to his admiration in theso words: "A meadow beautiful to be hold, because of the great variety of trees and plants." The locality re eved its name ou that occasion. Pa jaro means "bird" in the Spanish ianguage anil the name was certainly appropriately applied, for lu no other locality could lie found the great nun -her and variety of birds. the valley extends east and west and opens out iiihiu Mo tore y bay midway between tho cities of Santa Cruz aud Mo terey. It is surrounded on the north aud east by the Simla 'ruz mouutanis, which divide it from the famous Santa Clara valley and on the south a low range of hills divides it irom the extensive Salman valley in Monterey county. Though limited in area, being only ten miles long by about four wide, its favorable combination f climate and soil im.de it spech Hy fitted for tho production of the greatest variety of rops. V ith au average rain tall oi over M indies, au exceptionally fertile soil extending to the water-table, which latter varies from eight to '20 feet from the surface, mild winter temperature aud siimm rs cooled and moistened through ocean influences, where else from au agricultural standpoint, can mors ideal spot be fot ndr While the apple crop is first In im- icr'.i nco, th list of products covers tht' widest range, including all the deciduous tree fruitt the apricot, berry, prune, plum, peach and pear. all varieties of berries, all the cereals, hay, potatoes, sugar lieets, U.ans, com, till una, nopa, sqmiBiies, melons. garden "truck," nuts, dairy and poultry produots, the latter particu larly, are assuming Important propor tions. Then, too, tho nooks lu the bordering mountains make a very credible showing in grapes, lemons and oranges. Irrigation Is not necessary except for berries. Tho revenue realized from those lu ltiHtries has caused this community to become one of the moat prosperous. It is a biiHylpluce, with employment for all its inhabitants aud all who will, even the most humble, may have a lank account. - Individual holdings are small, va rying generally fiomtento 1 5 acres. Ho well contented are land owners with their profits that it is seldom a change of ownership occurs in best lauds aud when transfers are made, the price per acre reaches Into tbe hundreds. Though as stated the laist lands aro ditlloult to obtain even at liiKh prices, yet very good lands may be bought lu the foothills at S7.r aud upwards, per acre.

In almost every new settlement since the founding of our country, the planting of the family orchard fol lowed close after tho building of the home. Pajaro was no exception to the rule, as we find that an orchard was planted as early as 1853, shortly after the llrst American settlor locat ed here, lu thote early planting-, tho apple generally had first place. This proved the case here, also, aud the early aettler in selecting his trees for the family orchard aimed generally to secure a gieat variety of applea. This was a wise proceedure, as there was no other means of determining what va rieties were best adapted to tho liKial ity and the resuts of the tests proved of valuo in planting later years. Though all tho known varieties can be produced in the Pajaro district, all do not attain a high standard of excellence, and some prove a dissap pointineut. Summer apples, though the product is of excellent quality are not raised to any extent because they ripen when the markets are gutted with over summer fruits, and conse queuty prices are not remunerative. lied varieties are not plaute I exten sively, as the demand ou this coast is limited aud exorbitant freight rates preclude the shipment of these to eastern aud Kuropeau markets In com petition with the eastern grown red app'e. The two varieties which attain the highest perfection, are most sought after and command the highest prices. aro the Newtown Pippin aud the Hell flower. During the last ten years these two have been plauted almost exclusively. These two varieties are quite exact ing in their requirements, so much .o that tlie known area In which they can be profitably produced is limited to a vrey few localities on the globe. This fact, together with their popular ity among consumers, will always in sure for them a plaoe among the fore most iu list prices in any market.
