and down daily taking the product to
the sea board. And with the settlement
OF the country it did not take people
long to find out that this was one of the
most favored spots on the Pacific slope
for fruit culture, until now the stretches
along Snake river from it's mouth to
Lewiston and beyond are famed from
one end to the other for the choice fruit
raised, particularly peaches and grapes.
None raised in Southern Oregon, not
even California, can excel them. Hence
shipments of fruits and early vegetables
from this region have long been factor
in river transportation, to say nothing
OF the vast quantities that find it's way
farther inland to the Occur Alene mines
and to Montana. The climate and soil
"a light sandy loam-seem particularly
adapted to fruit culture, which, with irr-
CATION, responds in generous yields to
everything raised in the temperate zone.
Peaches, some of them as big as a man IS
double fist, with beautiful glow, hang
in such numbers as to fill thousands of
boxes and find their way to gladden. as
many homes. Grapes hang in rich clus-
ters Of all varieties, the Concord being
one of the favOrites. Scores OF boxes OF
luscious tomatoes are seen, and more
ripening on wellladen vines, to say
nothing Of cherries lin season), pears,
plums, apples, etc. From a river land
ing in pioneer times for the shipment of
goods merely, Almota and the country
adjacent has developed into a wonder
fully rich fruit section, destined to wit
ness greater development and increased
results in the future.
Standing on the Almota or north bank
of the river one looks across into Gar
field county, and orchards gladden. the

bound it's course at this point. 1t tells
the one story peculiar to this region,
but one in many for long distance.
The Riparia- Lewiston Line.
As most Gazette readers know the 0.
r. & n has been building a railroad up
the left bank of Snake river from Riparia
to Lewiston, which is nearing compile
ton. In fact, announcement is made
through the daily press that service will
commence October |, although the bridge
across the Clearwater is incomplete and
passengers will be crossed by ferry Be
that as it may it will soon be opened to
traffic and will work wonders in trans
pOrtatiOn. 1t will not eliminate the
dear old steamboat, which in pioneer
times was thought to be so swift and so
convenient, but it will take the perish
able fruits Of this region and people who
wish to reach their destination in haste
and that means practically everybody
in this fast age-as well as the large
volume of freight that at times puzzles
the railroads to handle and rush them
to the coast. 1t is understood the o. r.
& n and the Northern Pacific have traf-
fic arrangements over this road, the
latter, instead of using their line from
Lewiston to Moscow and on to Spokane,
for business that goes direct to Portland

ALMOTA ON THE SNAKE
Pioneer Landing With a Stir
ring History.
Now Center of Great Fruit Industry
--lron Horse Will Soon Awaken
Echoes of Gray Cliffs.

AlmOta, II miles south of COlfax on
Snake river, has a history and is still a
place of Importance. Twenty-Five and
30 years ago, long before the iron horse
penetrated the great northwest, any
point reached by steamboat navigation
was to be reck Oned with. Almota was
such place. Steamers from Cello as
cended the Columbia river to where the
Snake empties its flood, few miles be
low PascO, thence up the Snake to Lew
istOn. stopping at divers places to dis
charge freight, Almota being one of those
stopping places. Here large warehouse
was built, and here freighters congre-
gated to take merchandise into the in
terror, where settlement was taking
place, but much of it was unexplored
and the greatness Of it but little under
STOOD. Those were the days of ponder
Gus red wagons-fecetiously known as
prairie schOOners-drawn by four, elk
single check rein, the driver riding the
nigh wheel animal. The wagons were
loaded with goods that came all the way
from the "States," much of it by sailing
vessel around the Horn to San Fran
cisco, thence by vessel again to Portland
and on up the Columbia river by steam
er through several portages to Cello,
where it was loaded for the last time on
boat and finally dumped in the pioneer
warehouse at AlmOta. Notwithstanding
the distance it had Travelled it was a say
ing OF time to get it thus far, albeit it
had many miles yet to 60 to reach it's
destination. Some of it came to COlfax,
which was a town in embryo with an un.
known future, other loads went to Spo-
kane to COeur d'Alene, to COlville and
other towns and hamlets springing into
existence, it taking several days to make
the journey through a sparsey settled
country occupied by nomadic tribes of
Indians. But the iron horse came along
and his presence has changed the aspect
OF everything.
Wonderful Fruit Section.
1t must not be understood from this
that AlmOta ia not still place Of i'm
pOrtance, or that navigation on the
Snake is thing of the past. Far from

larged and here for many years-ever
since the PalOuse became known as

A Land of Great Wealth.

The ride from Colfax to AlmOta is one
to afford delight. No wonder so many
like to make the trip. The trav-
eler passes through one of the richest as
we'll as one of the most beautiful sections
in the state of Washington. Every step
Of the way is under high state OF cul-
tivation. Large grain fields, prolific
orchards are passed. Beautiful homes,
huge barns, sleek kline dot the landscape.
1t is land of wealth. Plenty is seen
on every side. Wales as sweet as the
Vale of Cashmere, valleys as beautiful as
the Valley of Rasselas are passed one
after another. These beauty spots in
nature seem to play hide and seek as you
leave one on a gentle rise only to dive
into another which lies hidden beyond.
The descent to Almota is down Almota
Canyon, 3mile drive greatly in con-
trast with what has been passed. The
Snake river passes through a great
cleft in the earth, the outlines of which
can be traced from a distance on the

TAFT WILL
TOUR The WORLD
Will Launch His Campaign
Before Leaving
Home

CHICAGO, Aug. "a dispatch to
the Record Herald from Washington
says:
Secretary of War Taft will be back
in Washington next week from his va
cation. On the way from his retreat
in Canada, the secretary of war will
call at oyster Bay for a long and final
talk with President Roosevelt before
leaving on his trip to the Philippines
and around the world in September.
The conference with the president will
possibly be more significant politically
than otherwise. It is regarded as
probable that II President Roosevelt
has thought of any means of eliminate
ing himself in connection with the
national ticket a year hence more alb
solutely than his utterance on the eve
of the last election. he may lay 1t be-
fore Secretary Taft.
Some facts have leaked out within a
day or two regarding the character Of
the talk which Secretary Taft will de-
liver to the people when he opens his
campaign in earnest. First and fore
most in many particulars will be the
address at Columbus. Considerable
data has been supplied relative to the
railroad situation in all it's phases,
the deduction thereform being that the
secretary will declare at the start q
policy in furtherance of the Roosevelt
principles, which win be prosecuted al
his hands IL he is nominated and
elected chief executive to succeed the
present incumbent.

MOUNTAINS OF
COAL STORED
U. P. Now Has Sixty
Millions Pounds at
Cheyenne

CHEYENNE, Aug. 9.-Following
out the recent announcement of Gen.
eral Superintendent w. L. Park that
a coal famine will be experienced this
fall and that the company is planning
to be prepared for such a contingency
the Union Pacific is rapidly creating
vertiable mountains of coal in the
railroad yards at this point and at
other district terminals along the line,
says the Cheyenne Tribune.
In Cheyenne the big tract Of land
south of the shops is being literally
covered with coal heaps which resem-
Bile smah hills and the work Of storing
more fuel is going on night and day
with force of 20 coal beavers engaged
in conjunction with the great clam
shell steam shovel.
Already no less than 60,00O,0 900
pounds Of coal are in storage here and
trains are steadily arriving from nli-
nois mines and the company's collieries
at Hanna ana Rock Springs. It is an
nounced that 10000 tons more will be
stored here before the work ceases,
while total Of over E00.000 tons will
be in storage along the main line OF
the Union Pacific in Wyoming and Me-
braska by fall. If necessary this sup
ply will run the railroad for a long
period. so that in the event Of a famine
the company will be in position tc
relieve any possible suffering along
Its lines and at the same time keeI
trafflc moving.
