I 33a Per Cent Discount Art Brass Goods INSTITUTION FOR THE FEEBLE MINDED AND EPILEPTIC Upon Invitation of Superintendent Bickers, a representative oi The Capital Journal viaited the State Institution for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic. There are about two hundred in mates at this institution which is located two miles south of the city. About one hundred take school work and industrial work of various kinds, requiring educational and technical instruction. On the day of the visit the klndergarden class was out tak ing a walk for an airing. The more intelligent young people were at work knitting, making basketry, lace trimmings and doing needle work. Tie Institution 1b conducted in a cleanly and orderly manner. The children are treated with kindness and the effect of the management is to make their surroundings home like and their life happy. Parents who visit the Institution are uni formity pleased at the treatment giv en their children. They are well fed, dressed and kept clean. The writer found but few in the hospital wards. Dr. Carlton Smith, the state physi cian, and the trained nurses look after the-inmates very carefully, and high standard of sanitation are maintained. Some of the porches are used for open air sleeping rooms, and the inmates get a great deal of open lair ,life and exercise. There is a splendid water supply taken from a well eighty feet deep and eight feet across. It is pumped to a reservoir and then forced into . all the buildings. The inmates of the institution are a class who appeal to human sym- pothy. Many of them are paying the for the mis-deeds of former genera PROUD RECORD FOR EDUCATION SHOWN FOR SALEM BY THE PAYROLLS AND ATTENDANCE The proud record attained by the Capital City pf Oregon as an educa tional city is best shown by the statistics of attendance and the pay rolls of these institutions. But not even the payrolls tell the whole story. There are schools of music with large enrollments, and the payroll of the Facred Heart Academy does not show the actual expenditure for teachlug force there, as only two teachers are secular teachers on salary. Sacred Hoart Academy has the largest en Educational Payrolls. Willamette University Capital Normal School Capital Business College Sacred Heart Adademy . ., Chemawa Indian Training School. YEARS 1011 GREATER SALEM AND WESTERN OREGON DEVELOPMFNT. EDITION tions. Most of the afflicted are con sidered hereditory and can only be minimized by kindness and education and it is the experience of other status that they should be kept at the institution which is especially devot ed to these purposes. One example of the defective class who are brought to the institution will give an idea of the problims involved. And it is fortunate for the commun ity that there is such a small num ber of the actually feeble minded orj nopeiessiy DianK mentalities, mere is little Kenith, a beautiful boy about ten years old. He has a finely shaped head, high forehead, regular features, a countenance that is beautiful and almost classical In its outlines and large soulful eyes like a fawn, and yet he is a blank. He has never spoken a word, has never heard a sound, has never given forth by signs or otherwise evidence of having a single idea in his posses sion. On the sight of the Feeble Minded Institution there is a two story man sion that was at one time one of the finest residents in the Capital City. It belonged to John F. Wilson and was moved to its present location by Mr. Hatch, the old pioneer house mover. He took the contract to tran sport this house nearly three miles for $600. He landed the house safe ly on its present location but spent $1500 In the accomplishment. The windows, doors and frames in this house are said to be brought around Cape Horn from Bcs'on. That was in the days of Old Oregon, in the days of New Oregon we are sending train loads of sash, doors, windows and frames to Boston. rollment in its Uistory of thirty yearn.

A beautiful station house has just been completed and all local trains stop there. New houses and store buildings are going up and in a few years there will be clustered about the station an ideal little home city, within an hour's ride of the metropolis or the capital of the state. Most Enterprising Feature. The presentation of a free build ing lot with each fruit tract sold is a feature that indicates that not only a fruit colony Is to be built up here but also a home city, with a fruit union and shipping station as part of the program. ' Here is the most beautiful location for homes of rest and comfort, and yet the region is rich in the resources that enable people to make a living with the least possible outlay of labor and capital. A Wonderful Region. French Prairie Is the old name for one of the most fertile spots in the Willamette Valley. As in soil so is It rich in historical associations, set tled by the strenuous voyageurs who came with the Hudson's Bay Com pany.' Many of them were gardeners and fruit growers in old sunny France, and they found these soils mellow and rich. Nowhere In this wonderful vale of wealth and con tentment has nature poured out her rich gifts so lavishly. Nowhere else will small areas turn off such large yields of products from onions to peaches, celery to cauliflower. Once a vast lake bed. these lands have the storedup tlallties of all the ages. No wonder It is famous as apple land, peach land, cherry land, strawberry land golden land for small fruit cul ture. All around these wonderful French Prairie fruit and garden lands there are belts of forest, fir, oak, ash and the beautiful flowering dogwood an abundance of cheap fuel indefi nitely. The same is true of the water supply. Underlying these lands at from ten to twenty feet are strata of purest cold water. Planting Model Orchards. With over 10 acres already plant ed In pitzenberg, Newtown Pippin, Gano, and Rome Beauty trees, i there are five hundred acres more being planted now and the whole six hun dred acres will be in orchard next spring. Since being cleared years ago the lands have been producing fine crops annually. Orchard Adjoins Fiirtro. H. L. Bents, whose orchard is in plain view of Fargo station has quite a large orchard with apples, peaches, plums, pears, cherries, and small fruits of all kinds. "The orchard has been bearing for 12 years. The apples are Baldwins, Wlnesap, Yel- 15 per cent Discount for Cash on All China, Glassware and Crockery This includes a beautiful line of electric, gas and oil study lamps and electric domesand chandeliers.

We do not pretend that we have any' peach land but there are always plenty of peaches. The same Is true of all our small fruits. It is a natural small fruit country and we are fairly swamped with small fruits. The cherries, peaches and all our fruits are of high color and excellent flavor. The apples keep well and are solid. The orchard on our old home stead has been bearing for over forty years, and this proves that we have a natural site for orchard tracts." Mr. Bents is the banker at Aurora. Fruit Grower and Shipper. John Murray who has farmed here 33 years ha3 grown all kinds of fruit successfully for that time. He has about 20 kinds of apples, two of prunes, ten of pears, two of peaches, six of cherries, five kinds of small fruits and ono of apricots. He has peach trees forty years old that bear full crops. He has about 25 peach trees in bearing, and they bear crops every year. "There is no trouble," said Mr. Murray, "In growing fruit In this section. Not all land is adapted to it, and not all fruit will do well on all kinds of land. I have shipped apples out of this section to San Francisco for about eight years. We can grow the Yellow Newtown and Spitzenberg to perfection for commercial purposes in this part of Marlon county. I speak from long experience " as a fruit grower andl shipper. The loganberry, blackber ry, raspberries, gooseberries and cur rants are very successful here and we have all the fruits referred to in proof of what we claim." Mr. Mur ray is owner of about one thousand acrs of land In this part of the coun ty and is so well thought of that for many years the people of Marlon county have tried to get him to be one of their county commissioners. ft hut a fruit Grower Snvs. Wm. Beats, Sr., has about 100 acres adjoining the Fargo Fruit tracts and has farmed It all his life. He has apples, pears, prunes, cherries, peaches and small fruit. His apples are Yellow Newtown, Waxen, Red Cheeked Pippin, Qravensteln. June Red, and Red Astrachan. He has late and early Crawford peach trees about 16 years old ind they grow a crop nvery year. Ven bushels was the crop on one tree. The rears are Bartlett, Winter rtellla, Vicar of Wakefield and Fall Butter. The prunes are Italian and Petite. The cherries ate Royal Anne, May Duke and Black Republican. In small fruits he has strawberries, raspber ries, dewberries, and Lawton black berry. "We always have plenty of fruit of all kinds and with good care and attention there la no trouble to raise all kinds profitably. This may seem like a big statement, but I know of no kind that cannot be produced here successfully. The apples especi ally have good keeping quality and stand shipment well." First Nursery Start d Here. ' J. W. Batchellor of OiympU came to Oregon in 1853. H3 father located in a log cabin half a mile from what is now the townulte of Fargo. A nursery was starved In 1854 from seeds of apples and pears brought across the plains in an ox team. This was one of the first places where fruit growing got a foothold on the Pacific coast. There are still sly rrult trees standing that were plant ed In 185-1 two Oravendtetns and four Baldwins. iThey are sound as 33a a dollar and good for another half century. Mr. Batchellor Is enthus iastic about this Bectlon of the coun try and considers that any well drained land in this part of the coun ty will grow fruit, "The orchards, gardens, wheat fields, clover fields and potato patches will do anyone's heart good merely to look at them. The Golden State to the south, tho Evergreen state to the north where I live, have nothing to compare with this coun ty," says Mr. Batchellor. , (.rows Any Kind of Fruit Fred Bents has part of the original Scheurer donation land claim on which the Fargo Orchard tracts are located. He has a good home on 102 acres, with many varieties of fruit, apples, cherries, prunes and peaches, all in bearing. He has been here here about thirty years and has never failed to raise large crops. He showed the writer winter apples on June 10th Winesaps and Red Cheeked Pippins that had kept per fectly. The prune orchard Is twelve years old and has borne regular crops for eight years. He sold last year seven tons prunes off 62 trees. He grows Waxen, Wlnesap, Red Cheek, Gravenstein, Baldwin and June Red, the Italian and French Petite prune, Bartlett pears, late Crawford peach, Black Republican, Royal Anne, Ox heart, Late Duke and Kentish cher ries. He has 16 acres in hops that turns off 1500 to 2000 pounds cured hops to the acre. Mr. Bents says: "There is no better fruit land in the Willamette Valley than right at Far go and we have the fruit of all kinds to show for It. I can recommend it from thirty years experience. With the same attention I can raise any kind of fruit here that can be raised anywhere In Oregon. Small fruits grow in abundance and thin be the natural soil for thoir suecess- rui production. I have also English walnuts;" The company planting this orchard, cultivate, spray and care for the trees for four years. Your trees are t:jin five years old, and will bear a small crop that year. From others' suc cesses It is reasonable to expect the orchard to be worth $1000 per acre at that time. One of these orchard tracts will make you Independent and provide against want during old age. From the station at the new town of Fargo, or from any tract In this great orchard, Mt. Hood can be seen towering high, and covered with snow every month of the year. The magnificent Willamette river, winding its way through this broad and fertile valley, furnish a heavy traffic In passengers and freight to the many steamers that ply Its waters. Looking in any direction we can see highly improved farms, with growing grain, dotted here and there with splendid farm houses and barns, fjne cattle, horses and other stock, more than two score of them In plain view. ' These homes show thrift, Independence, wealth, happiness and contentment. And In the mldHt of these surroundings is the Fargo Orchards offering its hand of wealth to you.
