J The running time OF the south
bound overland day train has been
extended to n minutes - for 26
miles, or about 20 miles an hour.
The average speed OF this train is
about 22 or 23 miles an hour But
&c make this time the train has TO
move at about 35 miles per hour be-
tween stations. as there are II stops
between Portland and Albany.
Safety in operation Is the greatest
characteristic OF the Southern Pa

thunderer that pulls the train. 10 the
humblest brldge-tender-and that
thought is the security and safety OF
the lives of passengers. The death

The Hill interests have surveyed
a road from Seaside to Newport,
which will be built and operating in
Ieighteen months. This road will
pass through the town of otter Rock,
land another local road will soon
be built from otter Rock east into
the vast timber belt on the Siletz.
From the fact that otter Rock, which
some claim was the original Cape
Foulweather, extends out for long
distance into the ocean and an outer
reef of rocks extends both north and
south of otter Rock for several miles
and breaks the ocean swell or rollers
long before they reach the shore
| line, this is one OF the most protect
ed points on the coast, and is favor
tie bathing place. From the first of
June until the middle of October
there is hardly a day that small
put new life into the Tillamook
country. Thirty miles is built from
Forest Grove west. About 100
teams are grading out of Tillamook.
The tunnel just out OF the city is
advancing. Ranches that could be
bought a year ago, before there was
any certainty of the railroad, for
$4,000 to $4,000 are selling for
$4,000 to $1,000. Ten new families
are coming where there was one
formerly.
The Oregon Electric from Portland
to Salem will double the value of all
lands close to that line. Property
on the line will be trebled and quad
rupled. The land will go into dalr-
les and fruit tracts. There will be
creameries. cheese factories and
canneries all over the Willamette
valley as fast as the country gets
railroads. Irrigation would still fur
ther multiply production. Water
would make three crops of hay possl-
BILE where one grows now. Rail-
roads will put any ordinary land in
the Willamette valley up TO 500 an
acre. Irrigation will make II worth
$500 from the standpoint OF crops
alone. in hops. fruit or grass. Trans
irrigation. fruit, dairylng,
are the Big Four that add to land |
values, make the country rich. pros
porous. populous and productive. |
These factors will make western Ore

Making Friends With Birds.

In JIarpers a. w. Dimock writes Of 4
recent visit to one OF the islands of the
Everglades, where he went 10 study the
MANY kinds of wild birds living there. No
guns were fired. and the birds seeing that
no harm WAS intended soon became tame.
DAY after day padded our canoe
in the little slouShS around and through
the rookcry, and each day the birds grew
tanner. The camera-ilan waded and
Climbed trees, cut poles and made long
legs for his camera. until he got the views
he wanted oil eggs and young birds, while
the mother birds fused around him and
scolded at first. but sometimes came back
to their nests before the work WIS fin
iShcd. Nature worked daily miracles
through these young birds. One day they
were egg-shapcd pouches of parchment
stuffed by their parents with Jumps of
dead fish, and in Il few hours. by processes
SO rapid as TO be almost visible. they had
converted the offensive mass into living
evolved form and beauty from 4 chaos of
corruption. When the caElerl-man want
ed young birds that had graduated from
their nests. they had TO be chased
trees. and our hunter-boy went up the
latter like n squirrel and sloshed through
mud and water like an otter. sometimes
for long distance, but he always
brought back his bird, even if ne hal to
cross deep sloughs to get him. He taught
the birds he caught to pose by petting
chosen by the camera-nan. and wnen
they scrambled away, by catching them
again. scoI,linS them. stroking them.
THE system never failed II the time,
but when afterwards we padded among
the nests. certain vociferous young birds
scrambled in haste from their homes to
the tops of the tallest trees, and curlew
matrons croaked from their nests,
johnny can't pose today; lie isn't feel
in" Well" Eirds too young to get away
were very friendly, and from many nests
our approach was hailed with cries of
W ONE. and mouths opened wide Tor the
lis and frogs that often went with us.
Mother birds, too. grew unfearfHl. and as
we fed their babies. looked on with COM
placency if not gratitude. One snake
bird, or water-turkey. which on our first
call dropped from her nest into the water

viewed with approval our performance Of
