TO HAMILTON
Special Excursion rain Load
ed With Investors to Ar
rive Here About
Novemer 8.

According to advices received at the
company and announcements made
in Chicago papers, a special excursion
train will leave Chicago for Hamilton
on Nov. S, arriving here about Nov. 8.
The party will be chaperoned by
President w. I. Moody and Vice
President B. J. Rosenthal, and will
be composed of stockholders in the
company and prospective land buyers.
The ditch company in disposipg OF
its land is meeting with marked sue
cess. Everything that can possibly
be covered by water from the new
ditch next year has been sold at
prices ranging from 500 to $50 an
acre The price of the next aliot-
ment, it is reported, will be raised to
$125 and up.
The buyers for the most part are
people of means. They form asso-
Citations and buy in blocks of several
hu ndr ed acres. This land they pro-
pose to plant to fruit. The plan is to
place such a tract, for example, in
charge of an expert ienced fruitgrower
who is expected to cultivate it until
the trees begin to bear, five or six
years hence, when the owners will
move out here and make their homes
Meanwhile they don't expect any inn
mediate returns and can afford to
wait.
The ditch company at the Hamilton
office now has on file requests from six
or eight of these associations to Sc
cure the services of experienced or.
chardists to take charge of these
tracts.
Next year If the trees of the right
varieties, of which the Mcintosh Red
is the prime favorite, can be secured
fully 5000 acres of orchard land will
be set out on those east side bench
lands.

BUMPER CROPS
IN BITTER ROOT
UNPRECEDENTED HARvESTS COM-
MANDlNO BIG PRICES.
PROVE BONANzAS TO THE FARMERS
Fruit Crops Alone Bring Quarter of
a Million Dollars to the
Valley.

Bumper crops are the rule in the
Bitter Root valley as we'll as else
where throughout the country. And
the bountiful harvests, coupled with
the big prices, have produced the
most prosperous onditions ever en-
joyed in this section. The weather
has been exceptionally fine through
the month Of October, ena bling the
farmers and fruitgrowers to garner
their products in perfect condition.
The last of the apples, comprising
the late winter varieties, will soon
have been picked, aud this will close
the most profitable year ever known
hy the b ter Root fruitgrower. Fully
$50 cars of Bitter Root apples will
have been marketed this season at
prices ranging from SO cents TO ~ per
box, according to variety and condi-
ton. Most of the apples have gone
east and are certain to establish
demand and open up new markets
wherever they go. The red apple of
the Bitter Root, "the apple without a
worm," takes the blne ribbon every
where it is introduced, and henceforth
the supply will be unable 10 keep up
with the demand. This crop has
brought quarter of a million dollars
to the valley this year, and it will
quickly rank among the nlillion dol
lar crops.
A big hay crop was put up and a
strong demand is felt. The top price
offered just now is $14 per ton baied,
which is paid for timothy with a
slight mixture of clover.
The threshers report the biggest oat
crop on record. An immense yield of
oats of the best quality has rewarded
nearly every grower. The season was
especially favorable to oats, the rains
and cool weather causing them to ill
and ripen in the best possible manner.
Yields of 100 to 125 bushels per acre
are quite common. One oat field of
200 acres near Corvallis averaged 90
bushels per acre. The price last week
jumped from $1 to SIPS per hundred,
sacks furnished.
All kinds of vegetables did well and
command good prices, which will un-
doutedly rise higher. Potatoes selling
for 90 and rs cents now will, some of
the buyers predict, be worth So next
spring.

LAND IS HELD
TOO CHEAP
OPINION OF MEN FAMILIAR WITH
VALUES Ell ELSEWHERE.
PRICE OF PROPERTY MUST RISE
AS Fame of Orchard Lands Spread
Investors Will Seek Coveted
Holdings.

Basing their assertions on a know
ledge of land values in the orchard
valleys of Oregon and Washington,
Eugene Drake and c. J. Case, who
are inspecting the fruit bought by
Crutchfield, Voolfolk g. Gibson, the
wholesale fruit house of Chicago, say
that land values in the Bitter Root
valley are entirely too low. From
800 to $3.50 an acre, in their opinion,
the land is too cheap. While this is
especially true of orchard land, it is
also true of farming land, tor the en-
tire valley is adapted to the raising of
fruit, though some sections are more
favored than others. The people of
the Bitter Root have not come to a
realization of this fact.
"Now, how would you estimate the
value of land that will net nearly
$1,000 an acre?". asked Mr.. Drake.
81 paid Mr.. Kress, west of Hamilton,
1887 for the fruit from one acre of
land. Taking that as interest on an
investment it is hard to estimate what
land is worth an acre.
Land in the Hood river valley of
chez valleys of Washington sells from
$500 to $1,000 an acre. Highly inn
proved land near North Yakima ,
WASH, has sold as high as $4,000 an
&c
100 acres of orchard land in Colorado,
only 40 acres of which was planted to
fruit trees, which sold for $50, 900.
When asked if Bitter Root orchard
land is as good as the land which
brings these prices, Mr.. Case replied
that personally he preferred it and
that majority of his associates did.
He explained, of course, that the
Bitter Root valley is especially adapt
ed to varieties which grow better here
than anywhere else on earth. Chief
of these is the McIutosh Red. Within
three years, uow that the possibilities
of this section are demonstrated, he
believes that all orchard land in the
Bitter Root will increase 200 per cent
ia value.
A revolution in the fruit raising iu-
dustry has been worked the past sea-
son. Growers are learning the ap-
proved methods of packing and grad
ing apples, of which they were
hitherto ignorant. They have learned
quantity in marketing their products.
The Crutchfield, Voolfolk & Gibson
company bought 90 carloads of apples
in the valley, which they are shipping
as fast as they can get cars. They
would like as many more if they could
get them. Messrs. Drake, Case and
Bigelow we're sent here to inspect the

FIRE IN CHEMICAL WORKS LESSNESS OF EMPL DYE Fortunate Circumstances Pre- vent 8 Serious Con-
 fiagration.

The celerity of the department of fire service in responding to a still alarm early last evening saved the city from what would unquestionably have prov ed the most devastating fire in years when the four story building of the Progressive Chemical company on State street was threatened by a fire in the chemical store room. Had the fire not started immediately back of the front seen from the street or had there been five minutes delay on the part of tho chemical fire company responding, the entire chemically saturated building would have gone, and the adjoining structure with it.
 On the floor where the fire started are the thousands of barrels, bottles and other receptacles filled with chem icals of all kinds used in the prepara- tion of medicines, while immediately above were stored paper boxes which would have gone up like tinder.
 M Levy of the hardware store at 1S7 State street, almost opposite the threatened structure. who chanced to be working after the usual hours. caught the reflection of the fire on the windows of his store shortly before I o'clock, and immediately telephoned in the alarm. He states that within what appeared to him a fewsseconds chemical No. 12 was on the scene. Assistant Fire Chief Perkins followed them. Seeing the building illuminated and realizing the seriousness of the situation he turned in the alarm from Box 2S, as a precautionary measure Before the other companies arrived, however, the fire was under control and except for a few cherred timbers no damage was done. When No l2 arrived the fire which started in a blower over a gas jet, was creeping out over the ceiling of the third floor, and attacking the paper boxes on the Moor above. Otis w Pillsbury, presid4nt of the compa- ny. stated that the carelessness of an employe in leaving the gas turned on in a blower when quitting work at 6 o'clock. the overheating of which ig- nited the woodwork was the cause of the fire He himself hal left the build ing twenty minutes before the alarm sounded
