ANOTHER
ORCHARD
PLANTED

The Willamette valley is rapidly
going into apples, cherries, prunes
and walnuts. Dairying IS a collateral
industry that flourishes wherever
high class horticulture is introduced
Two thousand acres OF land planted
To the above kinds OF crops would
sell at fancy prices II Il could be
had in and around Salem.
The very latest news is that Virgil
r. Waters, real estate man in Ben
ton county up the river on the west
side from Salem, has withdrawn
from the market 40 acres OF his
Pleasant View" fruit farm and will
set Il to apples at once. The trees
have been purchased. the ground is
being sub-soiled and tiled and just
as quickly as effective work can get
everything in readiness the trees will
be planted
". 5. Brown. expert horticulturist,
who with Mr Chipman recently pur-
chased $50 acres OF the sam Wyatt
place for orchard purposes, will SUI
periutend the work on Mr. Waters
80 acres Mr Brown has made
personal selection OF the trees 90 be
set out. and will follow every detail
of the work. thus giving Mr. Waters
the assurance OF q job well done
This will bc a Newtown and Spitz-
euberg orchard. no other varieties
being planted on the 40 acres. The
evidence is that Benton soil will
grow these varieties OF apples 20 bet
ter advantage than any other section
OF the west, hence the selection. Mr.,
Browns careful investigation OF the
comparative merit OF fruit grown in
different sections west OF the Rockies
has led him To this conclusion. and
as that expert opinion is but con-
firmation OF a belief that has pre-
vailed In this vicinity in recent years
il seems there can be no mistake
Normally. a f0-acre orchard ism
much TO make a great noise about
but this announcement coming al =
time when the public is just aWak-
ening 10 the horticultural possibiii-
ties OF this WOndrously favored coun-
ty, IL stands out as an assurance To-
Others. and is likely 10 prove encour-
aging TO scores who have been Civ
ing the matter more or less consid-
.cration Coming SO closely upon the
announcement OF the BroWn-Chip-
man 25O-acre orchard proposition.
and the rumored organization OF
local company at an early date it
causes our hopes To flame anew and
our faith 20 grow stronger While
go acres look small besides the 500.
SEQ and 500 acres orchards OF Med
ford Wenatchee, Hood River and
other sections, IL takes on quite a
size in comparison with the average
orchard in those sections, Official
figures show that sixteen and two
thirds acres is the average size OF
orchards in Hood River Certainly
40 acres OF orchard Is rather fair
siSed proposition for one man 20

proposes 10 handle this alone As

Then Mr. or Miss Baby screams for relief from the heat

The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1909-01-14
SAYS THAT WORK
WILL BEGIN SOON
MIR. III. j. JENNINGS. VICE-PRES-
IDENT OF ABERDEEN * TOM
BIGBEE VALLEY RAIL
ROAD, Is OPTIMISTIC.
Says That Eighty-Five Per Cent. OF
Right of Way Has Been Sc
cured, and Construction
Is Soon to Begin.

Mr.. II. j. Jennings, vlce-preSldent
of the Aberdeen & Tombigbee Val
ley Railroad, spent several days of
the past week in the city, and in con
versation with a Dispatch reporter
spoke hopefully regarding the build
ing Of the new road. Mr.. Jennings
said that since the franchise was ex-
pany had been busily engaged in de-
tail work preparatory to construction
and that as these details had been
we'll nigh completed he felt safe in
asserting that construction would be-
gin within the next thirty days.
1t will be remembered that Mr.
Townsend, who is TO furnish the mon
ey to build the road, stated when here
short time ago that it was his idea
to secure right of way for the whole
line before undertaking the work of
construction, and when asked con
corning this feature Mr.. Jennings
stated that about eighty-five per cent.
of the right of way had been secured
and contracts for the remainder were
being closed up as rapidly as possi-
BILE. He said that President Reynolds
was still in Chicago, but was expected
to return to Aberdeen next week, and
upon his arrival would probably be
able to make some definite announce
ment as to when the work of con-
struction would begin.
While there have been no late de-
yeiopments regarding the building of
the proposed line from Reform, Miss,
to Birmingham, Ala, it is regarded
as certainty that the road will be
built, and as the line passes through
this city Columbus has two railroads
in immediate prospect. The city has
sached a stage In its growth where
additional railroad facilities are ur-
gently needed, and capitalists realize
that the freight shipments an and out

The Columbus weekly dispatch., 1909-01-14

The directors of the City Furniture
Company met last week and declared
an annual dividend of ten per cent.
on the capital stock of the company.
Considering the fact that times were
hard during the past year and money
very scarce, this is considered an ex-
ceptionally good showing, and the
officials are to be congratulated upon
the excellent manner in which the
affairs of the company were man
aged. The following officials, who
are the same that so efficiently look
ed after the interests of the stock
holders last year, were unanimously
reelected: Thomas Dee. president;
Walter Weaver, vice-president; B. d.
Erwin, secretary; T. A. Eggleston,
manager.
