IN OLALLA CANYON
From a Wilderness to a Productive
Farm i'm Less Than Four Months.

c. Major Clark, foreman of Ollala
Orchards sends the following report
to the Daily World.
EARLY in the spring H. G. Bohlke
purchased from Mrs. NJ. o. Tibbits
about seventy-six acres of raw land
situated in Ollalla canyon about three
On March 26th we arrived on the
scene and commenced operations by
building a bridge over the creek and
then pitched our tents, after which
we took time for a visual survey of
what was before us. What has been
accomplished since to the uninitiated
or inexperienced would seem almost
impossible.
Gazing over a wilderness of pine
trees, sage brush, wild cherry, sun
flowers and every other kind of brush
that thrives in Washington and rock
enough to keep O'Connor's crusher
running full time all winter, we at
once realized the task before us.
bitches AMI gulleys were washed out
in almost every direction from one to
four feet deep.
The scene has changed. About
forty acres Of the land has been clear
ed, broken, cultivated and planted
to apples of the following varieties,
Spitzenbergs, Winesaps, Delicious,
Rome Beauty and Jonathan and Bart
lett and Buerre Anjou pears; in all
about $500 trees with secondary or
cover crop as follows, ten acres corn,

two acres potatoes. two acres onions,
and two acres fodder.
Upwards of $500 feet of three
inch wood pipe has been laid, and
over $4,000 feet of fence has been
built, requiring 500 posts and over
eight miles of wire, all of which has
been accomplished in less than four
months with three teams of horses
and an average of six men. Water
for domestic purposes flows in a SUI
fficient stream from the solid sand
stone comomnly known as the big
spring, into a concrete tank built for
the purpose, thence into pipe and is
conveyed over 500 feet where it

For irrigation purposes the water
is obtained from the above mentioned
spring and also from a series Of
springs further up the canyon form
ing a creek which runs through the
farm and which is at this time prac-
tically surrounded by water. Mr..
Bohlke is fast becoming an orchard
enthusiast. Coming from bustling
hotel and real estate business in Sc

too slow altogether, but we gradually
got him broke to work single and

his sleeves rolled up working like a

then the whistle would stop and a voice would give a cheery greeting to Virginia
 Virginia always sent back timid an swers. Miss Cornena had no use for tbe neighbors on the other side of the fence. She called them shiftless and refused to recognize that the son of the family was different from the others She would not admit that his industry was redeeming the scrub by farm that his father had let run to waste. Indeed Mark Graham garden promised to be superior to Yirginia's. Virginia had spoken of it that morning in shy conversation over the fence.
 "l don't see how you make your let. tuce and radishes grow so fast = she had murmured. Nine are just begin ming to show above the ground, and yours will be ready to eat before many days"
 Well. man knows more about such things" Mark had said wi.h a glance at the slender hands on the fence rail It doesn't seem as if a woman ought to dig "
 oh. fd die if didn't. Aunt Cor nelia would keep me sewing in the house, and I love to he out of doers :"
 It's a shame Mark muttered. that you cannot do as you please If T." He stopped suddenly
 Virginia knew what he wanted to say to her She knew that he loved her. and she knew. too. that he would never tell her as long as he was a poer and struggling farmer She knew rbat even if he did ask her Miss Cornella would never consent 10 their marriage.
 She sighed and he saw her shad- owed eyes.
 T wish l could tell you all that is fin my heart. Virginia" Mark said
 Virginia smiled bravely and said. But you mustn't Mark and then she had run away from him into the house
 Miss Cornelia had seen the two by the fence and had resolved to keep Virginia. if possible out of the gar den Miss Cornela had her own ideas about matrimony for her niece. The young doctor in town who called now and then. and whose admiration of Virginia was obvious. had money. ro- sition and good practise Therefore. Miss Cornelia argued. if Virginia mar ried. why not marry the doctor?

Mitchell Family

Two theories regarding the deriva- tion of the name Mitchell have their advocates It is from the Anglo Sax on word mycel or mickle. meaning great. or from Michael. meaning Gods power" Michael has always been a popular name. particularly in it's French form Michel. Mytchell Is an ancient orthography, this with Mitchell. is perhaps the only varia- tion.
 Searching family records, some cen turies ago. we find the curious name Elected Mitchell of Heathfeld," a name in the same class as Faint Not, ght-the-Good-Fi Fight of Faith, :" and "Search-the- Scriptures. all these being Christian nance bestowed upon children by parents ef peculiar bias of mind. Elected. by comparison. is fairly attractive
 The family is rich in authors and men of science; it also has its states men. it's solemn representatives of the law, It's dignitaries of the church, and its gallant soldiers.
 The Pennsylvania family of Mitch els trace back to Yorkshire. Eng land, and to the Mitchells who first made a home in Bermuda, notably William and wife Elizabeth, whose descendants settled in Philadelphia. and also in Baltimore George Mitch ell of York county Pa. was born in Scotland, 1734
 We find the Mitchels in Roanoke county, Va. and related by marriage 10 the family of Col Zachary Lewis. whose father was a messmate of Washington in the war with the French This branch of the Mitchells has descendants in many southern states. The Thomas aud Graham families are also allied by marriage The last named family is that of q gov crnor of North Carolina. William Ora. ham
 While discussing relationship. it may be mentioned that the Mitchells of Connecticut. claim kin with Rebec- ca Motte of revolutionary fame. with Gov, SaltonstalI and Gov Dudley of Massachusetts; also with the Gardin- CTS, of Gardiner's island.

Virginia came in, all grubby from digging Tn her vegetable garden.
By Temple Bailey

Virginia came in. all grubby from digging in her vegetable garden.
 .I don't see" her aunt said. why you like to dig in the dirt"
 Virginia flushed. "Tf you would let me have flowers" she began.
 T never could fuss with flowers" Miss Cornelia grumbled. "They ain't useful and I believe in people being useful and things being useful"
 Virginia did not argue the question. In fact Virginia did not argue any thing. She was still fair shrinking child. in spite of her twenty zone years. She had come to live with her aunt when she was a little girl. and 1t had not taken her long to find out that argument with that strong. stern per sonality was like beating her head against stone wall
 The one compensation for the lack of sympathy which she found Tn her home was the beauty of the country surrounding it. Virginia's childhood had been spent In the city and her aunts rambling white house. with the DASA4N"A o NO IA4t ilSil OI II, anu Nllu the garden to the left of 1t, and the stretch of wooded land behind 1t, filled her soul with delight It was in the spring that she liked it best
 Miss Cornelia's ideas as to the du- ties of young women were old-fash. toned. She liked to see Virginia per forming domestic tasks in the kitchen or in the liyingroom. where they sewed together.
 But Virginia loved the out Of doors. She had begged the privilege of ta, king care of the vegetable garden whom she found that she could not have flowers. Of late. too, there had been q deeper reason for Virginia's joy in her out-ofdoor work Across the fence was another garden, and in this garden some one worked whose whistle was as clear as the call of the blackbird on the fence.
