mentioned the orchard of Mr. James

had seen Apples, Apricots, t'liima,

Herriea, Almouila, l'hilberts, FecanH,

aaoiple of all thaaa aud In flavor,

celled br the nlmilHr product grown
anywhere The fruit aection waa not
couflued to that one locality, but In
II the 110 miles he had traveled in
this county he found the same condi
tions as to fruit production. Ui.der
suuh conditions be could see that we
had great need of a railro-d ; and that
he was very sorry that he could not
personally "provide one for us: tbat
preaeut development warrants one,
and that our gieat resources could
not be fully developed without sucb
id. ile could not sue why capital
had been so backward in opening up
country of such splendid resources.
And said the earlier the railroad
came the sooner and greater would
there be a trattio for sncu an enter
prise. He gave many Instances of
tbe great tiro (It secured by men en
gaged lo fruit gtowlnc, where tha
profits ran from $300, to 11,000,

such results our methods would have

there is a demau 1 for the govern

building uuder the condition of
sidling thn same to the actual settler

Then It ruiaed the price and flually
refused to aell any at any price. The
people now demand that the terms of

of forfeituie. liut the land is now
worth many times the set price of

not want to lose tbe increased value.
Tbe matter is uow lo the courts and
it is Mr. Hawiey'a opluioa that tb
people should and will win tbe cane.
He also thought that this consum

surveying of the forest reserves and
tha selection aud elimination of

SERVE TO. BE OPEN
RENO Nev. October 12. Informa
tion has been giveu out lure on good
authroity that the Secretary of the
Interim Haliluger, who visited Neva
da a few days ago, contemplates a
vast irrigation ou the Pyramid Lake
Indian lteservataon, in this State.
The plans would cull for au im
mense ium that would raise the wa
ters of the lake ao that they could be
conveyed by gravity to the lauds to
be brought under irrigation.
These plana wore discussed by Sere
tary Kalliuger with Superintendent
Creel of the Pyramid Reservation
when he waa in towu last week.it is
stated.
There seems a liklihooil tbat some
of the lauds of this reservation may
shortly be thiowu open to settle
ment. The Yakima apple crop of 40,(HK)
boxes ha 4 been sold to 1). Cressley it
sous, of New York. Most of them are
tor the Liverpool and Olasgow mar
ket. The price was not given.
A lot of wormy apples from Milton
were seized in I'eudltou by the fruit
inspector and destroyed.
Day by day thn railroad situation
unfolds and straws blowing here
and I hern point to coming
events; at least, no far as con
cerns the purposes of .James J Hill,
thn Umpire Ilullli-r. Krerything
point to very big doings in these
parts In tbe very near future.
One of tbe moat potent things look
ing toward that cousuinatloo Is the
fact that ths Western Pacific will be
completed and in running operation
from Salt Lake to Ban Fraocsico by
the first of next month.
It is known tbat Hill is not at all
kindly toward tbe Harrimao inter
eats. He has too vivid recollections
of financial obstruction placed in bis
way lo tbe money market of tbe
world by Harrimao tactics. Uould
also felt the force of suoh effort.
Neither of these men love tbe Harri
mao crowd and certainly expect no
favors, but Hill and (Jould can get

First. Hill will be free to act with
out beiog in tbe least beholden to

Uceond, It baa oow developed that
the Oregon Trunk is only a connect
ing link between tbe Hill lines al
ready iu opnratlou in tbe north, and
the transcontinental extension of tbe
liurlingt m, now assured and soon to
be under construction the entire dia
tance from Wyoming to San Fran
cisco. Third, aa pieviously stated by the
Examiner, the relations between Hill
and F. li. Walker, of Minneapolis,
tbe bolder of immense timber lands
iu N' or tern OaLlfomia are known to
be intimate, if not ideutical. Walker
sees tbe trend of tbo timt-s to enforce
taxation, commensurate with increas
ing values of timber, and is auxious
for railroads whereby be may reach tbe
markets available in tbe valley of
California. He pnt ia Sao FraucUco
tbe 9tb' lost, and gave oat an inter
view ia tbe Chronicle, to wbicb b
said tbe Oregon Trunk woald oot
particularly benefit him, while the
coming of tbe Burlington woald
afford him not only a western market
but would also provide an eastern
market for bis output.
THfc BUHLINUTON WILL Bri EX
TENDED TO THE COAST
When asked if uftable nutlet
would oot be provided If Hill built
south to connection with the West
ern Pacific, Walker said :
"Tbat would undoubtedly be better,
but I do not think this is what Mr.
Hill baa in contemplation So far as
I am concerned, what I want is a
line tbat will take my timber to a
market.
"When the time cornea 1 belivee
the Kurliugton will be extended to
the Coast, entering California in tbe
northern part of the state, and com
ing down the Sacramento valley to
San Francisco.
'The Oregon Trunk will be built to
a connection with this through Hue
in the northeastern part of California.

PROPOSED CHANGE
LAND LAWS
Should Be Made in The
Interest of the People
Not Corporations
Portland paper commenting editor
ially upon tbe proposed changes in
laud laws, says: Announcement ia
made tbat Seoretary Uallinger ia
anxinua to bring about a tevisiou of
land laws on the asis of legalizing
Hoosevelts policy. The common man
understands that the priuoiple chiefly
involved in tbe policy is to secure
public laud to bis use; that ia to say,
to promote home making, home owu
lag without permitting the ubiquitous
laud speculator to profit by a prelim
inary rakeott'. This announcement
may be male ou information that is
reliable, and it is certainly in acoord I
with what has heeu au acknowledged
need for the past 15 years or longr.
But recent developments have
aroused well detiued suspicions oou
curuiug the altruism of Secretary of
the luterior. As c immissiouer of
the Laud Ouice, Mr. Uallinger is not
iiolable for enthusiasm ot the Roose
velt type; while his action as Secre
tary of the luterior, denial to thej
contrary notwitnsiandiug. has opened
the stable door to tbe tbivery pow
er monopoly.
There is hope, of course, that Presi
dent Taft will hold Mr. Kalliuger
to the spirit of tbe policy which bears
the name of the last president. Pro
fessional associations of the Honor
able Secietary have not beeu such to
put him iu sympathy i',h a restrio

Another indication tbat Hill'a plana

struction operations in tbe immediate
future baa cores to light recently to
the presnoc of persons seeking to buy
up boldings la tbe southern part of
Oregon, north of Walker'a holdings,

A COLORADO MAN
DRAWS COMPARISON
Shows What Was Done
There and Says Same
Can be Done Here
P.C.Woods, of Paonia, Colorado
ia a recent comer who baa settled oa
tbe West Side.
He baa lived iu tbat aection of
Colorado for years, and says tbat
wbile the altitude there was rjCOO feet,
io other respects it resembled the
Uoose Lake valley. When he first
went there the idea ot fruit growing
did not occur to settler. Sow
tbe eutire valley is successfully
devoted to tbat and during shipping
seasou so high as 140 cars of flue
fruit are shipped out of Paouia ia
one day.
He says that there ie no doubt but
tunc the time is coming whuu im
mense railroad traffic will result from
fruit proluctiou id this suction.
Values iu property will greatly en
hance over preseut prices.
When he first arrived at Paouia be
was offered a tract of 30 acres for
only SoiiO. But he considered the
price excessive. Six years titter that
time the property was sold for 915,000
cash aud there was no teliiug what it
is worth at tbe preseut time, but
greatly iu excesss of tbe last men
tioned price. He believes tbat a
similar future is presaged for tb'a
locality, and firm iu that belief be
baa settled here in view of taking ad
vantage of preseut opportunity to get
iu while property is low. and
to reap corrospnudiug values when
tbe rise iu prices a rives.
Others profit by bis experience and
do likewise,.
