Viewers Favored the Road.

L. E. Morse and j. w. Moore, the
viewers who examined the proposed
Jackson road on the East Side, believe
the road should be built. The gentle
men have asked the Glacier to publish
the following statement
"In the last issue of the Glacier
appears an article on the Jackson road,
regarding the expense of building said
road. This road was looked over very
thoroughly by the viewers and found
not an expensive road to build. AS for
the damages to the land owners we could
see none, except in the case where dam
ages were allowed We found some low
land in the first mile, but not expensive
to grade, which would necessarily re-
claim all of said wet land
"The rest of the road would be very
inexpensive to build, We could see no
damages, unless it would be to Captain
jackson, as he would be the only man
not directly benifitted by the proposed
road. Mr.. Robinson and II. Crosse
were present when the road was viewed
and did not ask for damages. Mr..
Clough was not present and we went
and interviewed him and allowed him
damage for the land used.
"There is no other damage asked,
only across the corner of one 40, which
has no known outlet, and we considered
that the road would be a benefit to as
great number of settlers as any road
that could be proposed in the valley at
the present time.

indicate that it pays. The land has
been leveled off and where needed it has
been graded. Mr.. Goodpasture also has
a reservoir. Along the road he has
planted poplar trees for windbrake.
james Cook had to buy hay this year
for his horse, but he finds this does not
pay and has planted clover. He is an
other of the farmers who have found
that truck gardening pays.
+. N. Benson is trying an experiment
with asparagus. This is the first year,
and as it requires three years for re-
suits, he is unable to tell Just how it
will turn out. Mr.. Benson has demon.
strated that he is practical farmer and
there is no reason why he will not sue
ceed with the asparagus experiment.
He has about quarter acre planted to
this choice spring delicacy.
ID. +. Lamar conducts a little store
just on the other side Of the Indian
Greek bridge. His store is little but the
business he says he did during the
strawberry season was not small. He
says he sold as high as 1900 loaves OF
bread day. His back yard is now
filled with about a carload of empty
boxes that once contained groceries. He
says the demand for the stuff was SO
brisk that freight trains were too slow
for his use and he was forced to use the
express service and then the mails.
Even these were too slow and he was
compelled to use the long distaece tele-
phones to hurry along the orders. His
telephone bill, he says, ran up to over
$50.

chased our oil of the Columbia Southern
railway at $1.27 per barrel of 40 gallons,
delivered at Wasco. This is the same
oil the Columbia Southern railway uses
for fuel in its locomotives and comes in
car tanks of about $500 gallons ca
pacity. The oil tanks are fitted with
steam tanks for heating the oil. We at
tached common wood saw engine to
the pipes and warmed the oil until we
could pump it easily with a common
low down pump into our street
sprinkling water tank. We bored the
holes the least bit larger in the sprink-
Ter than was necessary for water sprink-
ling. We had no trouble putting it on
the streets in this way. The steam will
have to circulate through the pipes in
the car tank for about four or five
hours before the oil will work well.
Warm oil will also soak into the ground
quicker than cold oil. We used roll
ing cutter or disc and worked up the
ground about two inches deep and then
put on the oil. We followed close be-
hind the oil wagon with the disc, so as
to thoroughly mix the oil and dirt.
Keep all travel off the oil for week if
you can, and when the oil is dry enough
use heavy roller to pack the ground.
We used about $4,000 gallons on three
blocks, and willie we did not do our
work as well as we could again, we
are highly pleased. Another year
we will use more oil and do better work.
We sprinkled dirt over the crosswalks
and after oiling scraped it off. 1t is a
good idea to have wagon tank OF oil to
do repair work with later on. / should
think you ought to be able to buy oil for
about 81 per barrel, delivered at Hood
River. Our oil was shipped from Cali
fornia and l think was bought of or
through the Southern Pacific Railway

What About The DalIes Future.

For ten years past The Dalles has been
at standstill, its business not having
increased perceptibly But the wonder
is that it is not gone backward, and
those who have studied conditions closely
are amazed that the town has held its
own when they consider all the adversi-
ties it has had to contend with.
The building of the Columbia South
ern cut off a large and profitable trade
from country that has developed rapid
ly. However the development of the
nearby country has been sufficient to
support the city and keep its trade up to
about normal.
Judging the future by the past, it
would seem that The Dalles is now in q
position to forge to the front, and that
the next few years will see a marked
advance in its growth and business.
This season fruit cannery has been put
in operation and large dryer is soon to
be installed. These will prove wonder
full stimulous to the fruit industry which
will become in few years one Of great
magnitude, for within radius of 10 to
Is miles are thousands of acres of the
best fruit lands on earth, that are now
either in their wild state or are used as
grain fields.
Another factor that will tend to build
up The Dalles is the building of rail-
road from here south into the heart of
of Central Oregon, section that will
more than double in population and
quantity of products within two years
after it is reached by rail. All this vast
country to the south will become tribu-
tary to The Dalles, and will look to this
city as distributing point
The building of the Cello canal and
locks, which is now assured, will tend to
help business here Probably from 1000
to 1000 men will be employed in their
construction. They will have to be
clothed and fed, and The Dalles will be
the point from which they will draw
their supplies.
Viewing the future even from the
conservative standpoint, it is difficult
to see anything but marked advance
ment here from this date on.-Mount-
aineer.
