New Venture Proving a Success In
TiIIamook County.

s'Cranberries raised In Oregon" is
the new slogan for the commercial
bodies to cry out to the world at large
now that the fields Of Tillamook county
are producing large quantities Of the
berries that round out the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner. B. o. Snuffer, of Tilla-
nook, recently exhibited a box of ber-
ries in Portland which were picked
from the marsh in Tillamook county
Mr.. Snuffer, in telling about the new
industry, said:
"The vines from which these berries
were picked have not been touched for
eight years except to pick the berries.
Because the berries require so little
care and attention, the profits are very
large. Not an acre from the patch
these berries came from has ever pro-
duced less than s25 bushels and with
care would yield 800 bushels, The
berries sell for 50 bushel. w. @.
King picked 1000 bushels an acre from
o tract he owned.
81 commenced the culture of cram
berries in the spring Of 1898, and find
that the vines are well adapted to this
climate. They grow vigorously and
where the boys are properly prepared
they are enormously productive. While
picking my crop one year measured
off some ground and picked them care
fully, and found that they produced at
the rate of ] 1000 bushels to the acre.
Allowing 81 per bushel as net profit,
do not know of an agricultural product
that will compare with it, and placing
figures at minimum.
"It costs about 5000 to prepare the
ground and plant the vines, including
the cost of the plants. The bog must
be so situated that it can be drained of
by means OF bitches to the depth Of al
least 10 inches, and ore must also have
control OF plenty of water for irrigation
and flooding purposes. Although
have seen some marshes that were o
success without any water supply, l dc
not consider it safe, in view of the large
| outlay.
"a bog once set in the proper shape
will last indefinitely. The first cost
although quite large. cuts little figure
in the long run.

here are Of q darker color. than thoss

"In picking, lines ale stretched
across a plat OF ground three feet apart
and each picker works between the
lines, the vines making carpet upon
which TO work. They hang on up
rights about six inches high and are
truly beautiful to look upon. The ber-
ries are a bright red color, and, in
many cases three and four deep, touch
ing each other. completely hide the
vines and ground beneath.
s'The pickers are given six.quart

berries clean az they go. When the
measure is full it is emptied into q

they are given a check which is good
for 70 cents. Yard men are in at

ORLANDO RICH IN ORE.

Strike 10 Made 2e7 Feet From tho
Portal of Tunnel.
D. NJ. Adams, mining engineer, who
has been investigating recent strikes at
the Orlando mine, in Northern Idaho.
has submitted his report to the board
of directors. Mr.. Adams expresses
himself as we'll pleased with the ap-
pearance of the mines. He says in
part:
"The lead was Encountered 287 feet
from the portal Of the tunnel, and was
crosscut 10 feet on the DIP of the lead,
which varies from IL inches to two feet
in width. The tunnel at the intersec-
ton of the lead is about four feet wide,
and in cross cutting the lead more than
a ton Of high grade shipping ore was
taken out. This ore will average 60
per cent anthony, and as anthony
ore is worth 81 per unit, the ore is
therefore worth 1920 per ton, on the
cars at Burke, Idaho. This is the main
lead we have been driving for for more
than IL months. The strike shows
that we have we'll defined, strong and
persistent lead, carrying a high per-
centage Of first class shipping ore, prov.
ed for more than 200 feet in depth and
for about 100 feet on the strike of the
same.

BoYHooD HOURS.

One night as by the fire I sat
I thought of this and thought of that,
Back many years my mind did fly
And l saw 1t plain with memory's eye
That little log house old and gray
Where a little boy l used to play.
I seemed to feel myself once more,
Happy and gay, as in days of yore.
I have tasted pleasures laughing cup,
I've drank the sparkling draught all up;
I've been In love, I've felt the bliss
When love responds with kiss for kiss.
I've often been to the festal den
With wine and women and sportive men,
Where testing talk and ribald song
Rang loud and deep the whole night long
But all the pleasures rare and fine,
Enjoyed when In our manhood's prime,
Are nothing more than shams in truth
Compared with pleasures of our youth,
When we as care-free, happy boys,
Played in the house-lot with our toys,
Or In the meadow at the brook
We sat for hours with tiny hook,
And, oh, our hearts would thrill and
bound
When a wriggling fish lay on the ground
would give what the world can't hold
To be boy as in days Of old,
To sit once more In the meadow grass,
And Ash for the catfish and the bass.
But alas, alas, for me, alack,
The earth on its axis don't turn back,
And the happy hours the sweet, wild thrill
OF our boyhood days we long for still
Have gone from our life to come no more
And gladden. hearts as in days OF yore.

opening in the roof of the cavern
let out furious draft of Icy air,
which swept up the well shaft with
awful force.
As Il was apparent that no water
could be obtained, though IL could
be plainly heard, Peterson proceed
ed to close up the shaft. He found
great difficulty in doing so, because
the air pressure resisted his efforts
to drop a covering on the hole In the
underground cave roof. Finally he
succeeded In closing the opening and
filling In the well. Farmers living
near by say that the noise OF the
waterfall could be plainly heard on
the surface and that the entire
neighborhood was anxious that the
cavity be closed.
Various explanations of the pre-
nomenon are offered by those in the
city who have heard OF 1t, but that
commonly held is that IL is a great
subterranean stream flowing from
the melting glacier of Mount Baker
either to the SEA or to Lake What
com, through some crevice which
was left when the earth's crust hard

Experiments may be made to
ascertain whether the water cannot

FREE METHODISTS
Begin Camp Meeting in Bryant's
Park at Albany.

The Free Methodists of this dis
trict, comprising four or five coun-
ties around linn, last night began
their annual camp meeting in Bry-
ants park, across the Calapooia.
The meeting was held in a big tent,
holding several hundred, nicely sit
uated among the trees down to the
right crossing the bride. Rev. Cook
conducted the services. Il was an
introduction, full of good sense, and
to the point. He told the brethren
they were there to worship God, not
for amusement or gossip, and that
they should do things in business
way, free from taint, attending to
their camp duties neatly and on time.
That they were not Holy Rollers or
Tongues of Fire and did not endorse
the methods of such institutions, just
plain worshlppers of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
There are now fifteen or twenty
tents on the ground, and these will
probably be increased to 80 or 40.
Most of the people have come with
their families in wagons, Rev. Cook
coming up from Woodburn that way.
Rev. Coffey, the P. e., will be here
tonight to take charge of affairs.
A prayer meeting will open the
days services at G a. m, then there
will be services at . a. m, 2 and 1890
p. m, four day. Rev. Cook re-
