GRAZING IN POOR SHAPE.
Cattle Men Will Probably Have to
Feed During the Winter.

Portland-T. P. Mackenzie, super.
visor of grazing of the national forest
service, has returned from six weeks ,
trip of inspection of the grazing lands
in the Deschutes country. He found
the grazing lands in not as good con-
dition as has been the case in other
sections of the state, and in all prob
ability the number of cattle allowed
on the ranges will be materially les.
sened before the opening of the 1910
grazing season.
In some sections of the mountains
the grass was practically gone, while
1t was but seldom that real grass was
encountered in sufficient quantities to
keep the cattle over winter. MANY
cattle owners in the Bend country are
planning to feed considerably during
the winter. The coming of the rail,
road into the country has SO aroused
the farmers, however, that they do not
bother about temporary setback.
While the cattle owners will proba-
bly, suffer temporary loss, owing to
the cutting down of then umber of
cattle they are allowed to Craze on the
government forests, they will gain in
the end in that with rest, partial
grass which, properly cared for, will
last for years without another rest.
Little trouble is anticipated as the cat
tie owners have learned that the ac-
tions of the national forest service are
for the best, and they make no effort
to resist.

APPLE LAND $3.50 AN ACRE.
New Record for High Price Established
At Hood River.

Hood River-The record price for an
apple orchard was broken at Hood
River when Clyde E. Mason, of Chi.
cago, mechanical engineer, paid, $16,.
500 for 10 acres in eight-year-o trees
The varieties are Newtowns and Spitz.
enbergs. The price per acre, which is
$3.50, is $50 an acre higher than has
ever been obtained for fruit land at
Hood River. The purchase does not
include any buildings, and J. w. Rod
ford, who sold, reserves the crop.
The orchard, which was sold through
the agency of the Briggs-Ament com
pany, is situated on the east side of the
valley, and joins a number of high
priced tracts. Mr.. Mason is accompa
MED by his family, and will remain
here.
While the price is thought by apple
men to be top-notch, it is not regarded
as high, because of the recent sale of a
3-year-old orchard for 81, 200 an acre,
and another sale of 800 per acre for
land that had been cleared, but not set
to trees.

MACHINES PICK BERRIES.
Cranberry Culture Extensive Industry
on Coos Bay.

Marshfeld-During the season of har-
vesting cranberries on Coos bay, which
is now coming to a close, employment
is furnished to many persons. Indians
and halfbreeds are especially good at
the work, and some are quite expert.
They gather at the cranberry ranches
at picking time and come from all parts
of the county.
On the William Frazier place, on
North inlet, big bunkhouses are pro-
vided for the pickers, and they furnish
their own meals. They are paid so
cents box for picking, and some make
excellent wages. On some of the
places patent pickers are used. These
patent pickers consist of box arrange.
ment that opens and shuts with teeth
in front. The box is closed over a
bunch of berries and by pulling the
device the berries are removed from
the vines and left inside the box. After
the picking the marsh is flooded and
the loose berries which may have fallen
on the ground float on the water and
are gathered up.
Mr.. Frazier bought the ranch of the
late Mr.. Mcfarland, who was the pio-
neer cranberry man of the Pacific
coast. This is his first season on the
place, but he understands the business,
as he was formerly in the cranberry
commission business in another city.
The yield from the ranch this year will
be nearly 1000 boxes, and Mr.. Frazier
will leave soon for Portland to look
after the marketing of his crop. There
are near Coos bay several other bear
ing marshes, besides new ones which
have been planted, and which will pro-
duce within few years.

line between here and Eugene, and that
it will be well under way in 90 days
The main line will parallel the Southern
Pacific on the east of that road, going

City on its way to Eugene. A branch
will be built, according to Mr.. Welch,
from Salem to Mehama and the San
tiam mining country, and $150,OOO will
be expended on local street railway
and terminals.
Mr.. Welch states that the road ex-
poets to get into Portland over the
tracks of the United Railways, now
building up the west side via Hillsboro,
and which, it is claimed, will build into
Salem, crossing the Willamette river at
this point and connecting with the Eu-
gene & Eastern.
