OREGON STATISTICS.
Chamber of Commerce Bulletin Pub
fishes Interesting Facts.


The following valuable information
concerning Oregon manufactures and
irrigation in Oregon, is taken from the
July number of the Chamber of Com
merce Bulletin, published in Port
land:
Oregon has 1900 manufacturing es-
adjustments, with an invested capital
of s43, 100000. occupying lands an1
buildings valued at $12,000,000. The
records of the Manufacturers Asso-
citation of the Northwest for 1898
show: Value of output, sS3,937,0o0
salaries paid $500 officials and clerks,
$1,400, 900; paid $4,000 other en-
ployes, $13,000,000. There is room for
many more.
In Western Oregon the Willamette
Santiam, Uumpqua. Rogue and Clack-
amas rivers and their tributaries af-
ford ample power for wooden, pulp
and paper mills, flouring mills, saw
mills, and other plants.
There are also creameries, chair
factories, excelsior plants, AK handle
and broom factories. tile and brick
raw material, fuel. labor and trans
portation are good and low priced
Ample material is afforded without a
home market, owing to lack Of manu-
factures Crude ore is an example.
Creamery output is annually increas-
ing The flax industry should be
placed alongside the wooden. The
Orient demands Oregon canned goods
lumber, flour fish, fruit, etc. Oppor-
tunities for investment are unrivaled
and sure to make returns.
Irrigation Statistics
Much of Eastern Oregon is arid OF
semi-arid, but the soil when watered
is immensely productive. The availa-
BILE water supply from streams is
large Along the Columbia irrigation
is generally unnecessary. The hay
crop in Jackson and Josephine coun-
ties is the only one usually irrigated
In 1900 1896 irrigators in the state
supplied 38S,O0O acres. The average
cost per acre for the state for bitches
was $4.74.
Oregon has state irrigation organ
ization. The 1896 irrigators in Ore
gon in 1900 have since grown crops
valued at $3.062.896. There are now
probably not less than 7COo irrigat-
ors in the state, and the value of their
land crops is about $5,000,000. Since
1901 the government has set aside $2,-
795,690.89 for irrigation purposes in
this state, being the largest sum APP
portioned to any state In the Union
for this purpose. There are about g.
900, 900 acres of arid irrigable lands
in the state, worth. under irrigation
$3.50. 900, 900, and whose products
would be valued at S50,000000.
Only a beginning has been made.
The future is pregnant with possibili-
ties. The total government arid land
fund is s23,012,836.46, of which the
state Of Oregon contributed $4,230,-
659.75. The government will irrigate
100, 900 acres in Malheur county at a
cost of 33.000.000 and 800. 900 acres
in klamath valley The cost OF ,c-
clamation was 100000. The value
Of irrigated crops in 1904 was over
100000. Schemes II execution no "
in progress will increase irrigated
area to over 100000 acres

busy Buffalo physician one day was
hurried into an inner office, placed in a
chair and had her stomach pumped out

come with daily practice. While some

h.. ON BANKS AT AN END
MILWAUKEE INSTITUTIONS AT.
FECTED INSIST ON NOTICES
OF WITHDRAWAL.

Milwaukee, April 26-Despite as.
surances that the Milwaukee Trust
company was in no manner involved
by the financial troubles of Frank G.
Bigelow, former president of the First
National bank and confessed defaulter
of more than $1,000,000, crowds Of
persons waited long before the open
ing of the trust company bank to
itOrs gathered at the First National
bank were comparatively few at first,
but the number continued to increase
BigeloW hail been a director of the
Milwaukee Trust company, but when
his defalcationS became known he
was removed as such by the board OF
directors. Notices posted on the bank
windows, which the depositors, mostly
working people, eagerly scanned, an
nounced this fact and that the trust
company was abundantly able and
prepared to meet the demands Of ali
depositors and creditors.
AS the hour approached for the
opening Of the bank the crowds gath
cred in front of the First National
bank and the Milwaukee Trust com
pany became larger and extended for
half a square On Wisconsin and on
East Water streets. A detail of po-
lice was present to maintain order.
Demand Notice of Withdrawal.
Later it was announced that the
First National bank and the Aiilwau-
kee Trust company had decided to
take advantage of the printed clause
in the passbooks OF all saving deposits
requiring that a notice Of thirty days
be given before sums under 500 can
be Withdrawn and a notice of ninety
days on sums exceeding 500. The
pasSboOks were so stamped when pre-
sented at the bank windows. The
rule applies to certificates of deposit.
When the doors Of the First Ma
tioual bank and the Milwaukee Trust
comrany were thrown open the crowd,
which had lined up two and four
abreast for a distance of half a block
from the main entrance of each insti-
tuition, filed in as rapidly as the po-
lice would permit More than dozen
sought admittance at once and there
was a lively scramble to enter Those
who sought--to withdraw their funds
were mostly small depositors who ap-
piled at the savings department of
the First National bank or the Mil
waukee Trust company. Up to noon
there had been no run at any of the
other banks. Everything at this time
was quiet on the South and West
Sides Of the city, the banks in these
sections doing business as usual.
Later in the day the crowds of de.
pOsitOrs dwindled away and business
at both the First National bank and
the Milwaukee Trust company re-
sumed normal conditions.

NO LAW VIOLATED WHEN Gov
EMINENT is PARTY TO THE
AGREEMENT.
DECISloN BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SECRETARY OF INTERIOR sus.
TANNED IN CONTRACT WITH
RAILROADS.

Washington, April 2e.-The attor-
ney general has sustained the secre-
tary Of the interior in his rebate
agreement with railroads in connec-
ton with the transportation of mate
rial for reclamation purposes.
The law which the attorney general
interprets as governing the case is
contained in section 20 of the inter-
state commerce act. Its language is :
"That nothing in this act shall ap-
ply to the carriage, storage or han
ding Of property free or at reduced
rates for the United States
The attorney general reaches thiS
conclusion:
'The intention of section 20 of tbs
act to regulate commerce was to give
express sanction to any arrangement
between the United States, state ol
municipal governments and railroad
companies by which those govern.
ments might relieve themselves of the
cost Of transportation in whatever
form it might assume and the section
should be construed to give effect tc
that intention"
In another part of his opinion he
says that in those. cases where th2
fact is that the United States receives
the whole Of the concession and the
contractors none then neither the
spirit nor the letter of the act tc
regulate commerce has been violated.

HAS NO TIME TO SPARE.
j. J. Hill Will Not Take Part ir
Equitable Investigation.


New York, April 26.-James J. Hill,
who was selected by the directors OF
the Equitable Life Assurance society
as one of the committee TO investi.
gate into it's affairs, said during the
day that it was not true as reported
that he had refused to act with this
committee because of any differences
or friction with any Of it's members.
Mr.. Hill said that his own affairs took
up so much OF his time that he had
no spare moments to devote to other
matters. The Equitable affair, he
added, is matter of great impor-
tance and he felt that he must de-
cline to serve on the committee un-
less Ire could participate in very
thorough examination OF the society's
affairs. He had no doubt, he said,
that the committee headed by Mr.
Frick will leave nothing undone in
the examination. Mr.. Hill said he felt
some time ago that the time might
come when the policyholders of the
Equitable society would demand a
thorough investigation. He said also
that as result of this controversy
the business Of life insurance would
be put on more careful basis.
