JUgnUeent Simples.
A Journal reporter yesterday
called on Mr. D. D. Prettyman who
will bo remembered as having gone
back east with a car load of grain,
grasses, vegetables, fruits and Oregon
produce In general publicly exhibit
ing them In Minnesota, Iowa, Illi
nois, Michigan, New York, Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Missouri, and
eventually leaving the car audits
exhibit with tho Northern Pacific
railroad company, at St. Paul. This
was done at tho expense of the state
board of Immigration, and Avon them
and the state as well as Mr. Pretty
man much praise. This gentleman
also sent a peck of wheat to tho Cen
tennial exhibition in Philadelphia
and took tho first prize against tho
world, and he naturally feels very
proud of tho medal and diploma.
(Tho collective exhibit of Oregon also
took the first prize there.)
Of late years Mr. Prettyman has
made A specialty of collecting speci
mens of grains and grasses for State
and Mechanics' fairs and the Board
of Immigration. He has just com
pleted a magnificent collection of
wheat of Defiance and other varieties
oats, timothy, clover, rye. buckwheat
and millet. The clover is 4 feet high
and Mas takeai from a patch sowed
among the oak grubs, a year ago, on
ground ploughed. The buckwheat
is G feet 0 inches, and the timothy 5
feet o inches with very long heads,
some of them nearly a foot in length.
These all to go to the state board at
Portland, and will bo forwarded
cast to astonish, the natives and
make them dissatisfied with their
lot until they come come to the "Wil
lamette Valley and see such things
actually growing.
0. 1 Work Beginning.
A gentleman just in from Corval-,
lis informed the Jcuuxal that en
gineers and others started out to-day
to recommence work on the Oregon
Pacific railroad extension so long de
layed and so ofton projected. From
various sources it has been learned
of late that all along the line re
sumption has been anticipated.
This will be news for it means the
spending of much money In ex
change for labor, hay, grain and
other produce, the use of teams
among tho farmers. It also insures
speedier and pleasauter communi
cation between places now remote,
and the opening up of a large area
now almost inaccessible and the con
necting of tho central portion of tho
Willamette valley with Eastern
Oregon. Surely a fresh efibrt ought
to bo made to fcecuro a branch to Sa
lem'. Tho Board of Trade might
make a note of that.
