The little city of Halsey is the cen
ter Of big travel across the country
to Brownsville. For many years
Brownsville has had very poor train
service, and so travelling men and
the public generally got into the
habit of going across from Halsey
and they will continue that habit
for many years to come. More peo.
pie travel to the surrounding country
from Halsey than from any other
station in the valley There is a
good hotel, and Halsey has fine
schools and good churches. There
are several lodges and the community
has good element of hard working
and steady going moral people.
1t is one of the best shipping and
trading points on the main line Of
the Southern Pacific in Linn County.
1t is surrounded by very rich agri-
cultural country and very progress
i've class of farmers are being devel-
ioped. There is considerable land
being planted to fruit in this vicinity,
although dairying and grain farming
are still the principal farming indus
tries. Within from five to seven
years there has been an advance of
over 100 per cent in the value of
farming lands in this vicinity.
HaIsey Land Values.
To illustrate the change that has
taken place it will only De necessary
to mention one case. Mr.. G. L. Falk
who came here from Northwestern
Iowa began buying land in this
vicinity from five to seven years ago.
Altogether Mr.. Falk and his family
have bought 140e acres. He bought
5000 acres at $40, $3.50 and $z5
per acre. Then one of his brothers
bought $500 acres at $22.5O. Mem
bers of the family picked up two
quarter sections at $23 per acre and
$23.75. All of this land is now held
at $50, $50 and S65 per acre and
some of it is not for sale at any
price. One quarter section was put
into clover by Mr.. Falk and he sold
the first full crop for enough to
pay for the land. OF course, Mr..
Falk did not charge against the crop
his own labor. There are many in
vestments to be made in this vicinity
that in the next five years or seven
years would prove equally tofitable.
Halsey Produce Shipments.
Mr.. R. c. Townes, agent of the
Southern Pacific at this station, in
forms us that there are about ten
carloads of live stock shipped out
each month and about six carloads of
hay and produce Shipments are as

Pioneer Real Estate Man.
Mr.. D. o. Quick of Halsey is prob
ably the oldest active real estate man
in the state. He is 81 years old, or
young, as you like it. He is BOOST
er for Linn County and all Oregon
and in July he is going to take trip
east to revisit old home scenes in
Illinois. He was born in Indiana
and first crossed the plains in 1862.
! There were serious troubles with the
Indians at that time. When the OK
train reached the Snake river there
were four hundred hostile Indians at
! the ferry waiting to give the whites
warm reception. So the party re-
! turned to Fort Lemhi and he packed
his belongings to Linn County. For
time he was located at Mountain
dale, Washington, where one of his
daughters still lives, Mrs. Elma
Fowle. His other children are e. e.
Quick, County Treasurer of Columbia
County, who lives at st. Helens; an
other son is J. Warren Quick of
Ballston. Others are VIM. Quick of
Forest Grove, Emmett Quick of Hills
boro, Fred Quick of Philomath, Mrs.
Annie Lewis of Grants Pass, Mrs.
Ada Trenholm of Philomath. Mr..
/ Quick was postmaster at Mountain
dale and was elected to the legislature
while living in Washington County.
He was admitted to the practice Of
the bar on motion Of Geo. Fl. Will
liams and helped eject him United
States Senator. Mr.. Quick still
takes an active interest in politics
and belongs in what would be termed
the progressive or insurgent class Of
republicans. There seems to be no
way to get rid of this variety and
they seem to be multiplying rapidly

Halsey Has New Bank.
The Halsey State Bank has been
organized since March /, 1910 with a
capital of $4,000. 1t already has

tai assets of $75,OOO. The business

state and are entitled to be called
among the builders of Oregon.
Spirit of Progress.
A spirit of improvement has taken
hold of Halsey. Several new build
ings are projected and the streets
are being improved by grading and
filling. 1t seems there is a strong
determination to build up the town
on modern lines, fill up the empty
houses with new people and let the
world know that Halsey is live
town that is coming to the front.
Among the Business Men.

CITY HALL
SITE NOT
SETTLED.
Rumor That Council Has
Another Location Under
Consideration.

There is a well founded rumor
afloat to the effect that the city
council has not yet finally acted In
the matter of the location of the
new city hall.
The last site selected, and the
enc that still has the sanction Of
the city fathers, Is the southwest
corner of Front and Wall. Where
the other site will be has not leaked
out, but it will not be at that corner
that now Is marked as the choice, it
is predicted.
One of the reasons urged against
the present location is that the
ground is not near large enough and
that the city will find itself
cramped for quarters at the very
outset.
An ordinance is pending In the
city council appropriating 5000. .OO0
for the purchase of site for ! city
hall. The council has gone on rec
ord for the site at the sOutheWest
corner of Front and Wall. There II
where the matter stands at present.

UP TO THEIR
SAME OLD GAME
Employment Agencies Send
Victims Out to Jobs Not
Ready for Them.

The old employment agency game
of sending men out on jobs which
are not as represented was brought
to light again this morning when
George Rohle, A. Miller, Gus BretZ
and John Lawrence appeared at the
office of Mayor N. S. Pratt and COM
planned that they had been sent out
by the Macho agency, 214 Stevens
street, on jobs which were far from
being as described by the agency.
The men each paid the agency,
which is conducted by Albert M.
and Joseph j. Macho, a fee of $3.50
for a job with the Washington
Water Power Co. on the construc-
ton of the steel power plant which
is being built about Is miles down
the river.
The men signed as laborers and
were to receive 27 10 cents per
hour. but when they arrived at the
scene of operations they were told
by the foreman in charge that he
wanted steel workers, not laborers.
They begged to be put to work at
something, and were told that they
might stay around and something
might come up. They took two
meals at the cook house, and when
they were shown the place they
were to sleep they found II to be a
tent. and they were expected to
sleep on the ground, which was all
rocks and mud.
Next morning they were not put
to work and started back to town on
foot. after being charged so cents
each for their meals. On the way
in they met anothe rbunch of labor.
ers going out. These men had paid
only 81 each for their jobs.
Rohle and Bretz's employment
tickets had been taken charge of by
the foreman on the work, so they
had no recourse, but when Miller
and Lawrence presented their tick
cts to the Macho people and de-
manded a refund of their fees they
were politely told to 60 to place
somewhat warmer than Spokane.
