dollar and good for another hall
century. Mr.. Bachelor is enthus-
iastic about this section of the coun-
try and considers that any well
drained land in this part of the coun-
ty will grow fruit.
THE orchards, gardens, wheat
fields, clover fields and potato
patches will do anyone's heart good
merely to look at them The Golden
State to the south, the Evergreen
state to the north where l live, have
nothing to compare with this coun-
ty," says Mr. Bachelor.
Grows ANY Kind Of Fruit.
Fred Bents has part of the original
Scheurer donation land claim on
which the Fargo Orchard tracts are
located. He has a good home on 1O2
acres, with many varieties of fruit
apples, cherries, prunes and peaches
all in bearing. He has been here
failed to raise large crops. He
showed the writer winter apples on
June 10th-Winesaps and Red
Checked Pippins-that had kept per-
fectly. The prune orchard is twelve
years old and has borne regular crops
for eight years. He sold last year
seven tons prunes off 62 trees. He
grows Waxen, Winesap Red Cheek
Gravenstein, Baldwin and June Red
the Italian and French Petite prune,
Bartlett pears, late Crawford peach
Black Republican, Royal Anne, Ok
heart, Late Duke and Kentish cher
ries. He has 16 acres In hops that
turns off 1900 to 1000 pounds cured
hops to the acre. Mr.. Bents says:
There is no better fruit land in the
Willamette Valley than right at Far
go and we have the fruit of all kinds
to show for It, can recommend II
from thirty years experience With
the same attention l can raise any
kind of fruit here that can be raised
anywhere in Oregon. Small fruits
grow in abundance and this seems to
be the natural soil for their success
full production. have also English
walnuts"
The company planting this orchard,
cultivate, spray and care for the trees
for four years. Your trees are tlisn
five years old, and will bear a small
crop that year From others sue
cesses 1t is reasonable to expect the
orchard to be worth $1,000 per acre
at that time.
One Of these orchard tracts will
make you Independent and provide
against want during old age.
From the station at the new town
of Fargo, or from any tract in this
great orchard, Mt. Hood can be seen
towering high, and covered with
snow every month of the year.
The magnificent Willamette river,
winding it's way through this broad
and fertile valley, furnish a heavy
traffic In passengers and freight to
the many steamers that ply its waters.
Looking in any direction we can
see highly improved farms, with
growing grain, dotted here and there
with splendid farm houses and barns,
| fine cattle, horses and other stock
more than two score of them in plain
view These homes show thrift
independence, wealth, happiness and
contentment And in the midst OF
these surroundings is the Fargo
Orchards offering its hand of wealth
to you.

HILL
Line, The A. &C.
RIVER ROAD

This line of railroad from Portland
to the mouth of the Columbia is one
of the finest possessions of the Hill
System. 1t connects the metropolis
of Oregon with a splendid beach,
summer resort-the Clatsop Beach
on the Pacific Ocean. This beach ex-
tends for practically twenty miles,
from Tlllamook Bay to the mouth Of
the Columbia river. The railroad
follows the bank of the Columbia to
Astoria, crosses YoLng's Bay and fol-
lows the beach to Sea Side. An ex-
tention of this road is being con-
structed to Tillamook. Along Clat-
sop Beach are a row of very fine
summer resort properties, such as
Warrington, Gear Hart, Sea Side and
Holiday. A fine modern hotel, the
WInehardt has just been completed
at Astoria.
The rate fare on the Astoria and
Columbia Railroad are very low The
regular round-trip rate from Port
land to Clatsup Beach points and AS
toria is only four dollars, while Sat
urday and Sunday excursion rates

are made at three dollars for the
round trip. The fare from Astoria
to Clatsop Beach is seventy-five cents
on Sunday. A fine parlor car Is at
taehed to the best trains and the
train service is excellent in every re-
spect. During the summer season,
thousands go to these beaches daily,
and they are becoming popular win
ter resorts.
The people of Astoria have UNDER
taken to commerate the centennial
of the arrival of the first white set
tiers. This event transpired when a
ship was sent to the present sight
of Astoria by John Jacob Astor, then
the potential head of the Astor Fur
Co. The Astor party landed con-
structed a fort and built stockade
where Astoria now stands. This
event is to be celebrated In proper
manner with an historical pageant,
and the annual Water Carnival
which is held at Astoria will be made
more pretentious affair. The peo-
pie of Astoria have the pluck and
the enterprise to put through the
proposition and 1t is expected that
the Astor family of England will
honor the occasion by their presence,

INSTITUTION FOR THE FEEBLE
MINDED AND EPILEPTIC

tions. Most of the afflicted are con-
sidered hereditory and can only be
minimized by kindness and education
and it is the experience of other
states that they should be kept at the
institution which is especially devot-
ed to these purposes. One example
of the defective class who are
brought to the institution will give
an idea of the problims involved.
And it is fortunate for the commun-
ity that there is such a small num-
ber of the actually feeble minded or
hopelessly blank mentalities. There
Is little ZENITH, beautiful boy
about ten years old. He has finely
shaped head, high forehead, regular
features, countenance that is
beautiful and almost classical in it's
outlines and large soulful eyes like
fawn, and yet he Is a blank. He
has never spoken word, has never
heard a sound, has never given forth
by signs or otherwise evidence of
having single idea in his posses
sion.
On the sight of the Feeble Minded
Institution there is two story man
sion that was at one time one of the
finest residents in the Capital City.
1t belonged to John F. Wilson and
was moved to its present location by
Mr.. Hatch, the old pioneer house
mover. He took the contract to tran
sport this house nearly three miles
for $500. He landed the house safe
ly on it's present location but spent
$500 in the accomplishment. The
windows, doors and frames in this
house are said to be brought around
Cape Horn from Bcs on. That was
in the days of Old Oregon, in the
days of New Oregon we are sending
train loads of sash, doors, windows
and frames to Boston.

Upon invitation of Superintendent
Bickers, a representative OF The
Capital Journal visited the State
Institution for the Feeble Minded and
Epileptic.
There are about two hundred in
mates at this institution which is
located two miles south of the city.
About one hundred take school work
and industrial work of various kinds,
requiring educational and technical
instruction. On the day of the visit
the Kindergarten class was out TAX
ing a walk for an airing. The more
Intelligent young people were at
work knitting, making basketry, lace
trimmings and doing needle work.
The institution is conducted in a
cleanly and orderly manner. The
children are treated with kindness
and the effect of the management is
to make their surroundings home
like and their life happy. Parents
who visit the institution are uni
formily pleased at the treatment CIV
en- their children. They are we'll fed,
dressed and kept clean. The writer
found but few in the hospital wards.
DR.. Carlton Smith, the state physi-
clan, and the trained nurses look
after the inmates very carefully, and
high standard of sanitation are
maintained. Some of the porches are
used for open air sleeping rooms, and
the inmates get great deal of open
air life and exercise.
There is a splendid water supply
taken from a we'll eighty feet deep
and eight feet across. 1t is pumped
to a reservoir and then forced into
all the buildings.
The inmates of the institution are
class who appeal to human SYM

even the payrolls tell the whole story.

FARGO
ORCHARD
TRACTS


and orchard enterprises in the Will
lamette Valley is the Fargo Orchard
Tracts at Fargo station about midway
between Salem and Portland on the
Oregon Electric railroad. A beautiful
station house has just been completed
and all local trains stop there New
houses and store buildings are going
up and in a few years there will be
clustered about the station an ideal
little home city, within an hours ride
of the metropolis or the capital of
the state.
Most Enterprising Feature.
The presentation of a free build
ing lot with each fruit tract sold Is
a feature that indicates that not only
a fruit colony is to be built up here
but also home city, with fruit
union and shipping station as part
of the program.
Here is the most beautiful location
for homes of rest and comfort, and
yet the region is rich in the resources
that enable people to make living
with the least possible outlay of labor
and capital.
NOn0erIul Region.
French Prairie is the old name for
one of the most fertile spots in the
Willamette Valley. AS in soil so is
it rich in historical associations, set
tied by the strenuous voyageurs who
came with the Hudson's Bay Com
pany. Many of them were gardeners
and fruit growers in old sunny
France, and they found these soils
mellow and rich. Nowhere in this
wonderful vale of wealth and con-
tentment has nature poured out her
rich gifts so lavishly. Nowhere else
will small areas turn off such large
yields of products from onions to
peaches, celery to cauliflower Once
a vast lake bed, these lands have the
storedup tialities of all the ages. No
wonder 1t is famous as apple land,
peach land, cherry land, strawberry
land-golden land for small fruit cul-
ture. All around these wonderful
French Prairie fruit and garden lands
there are belts of forest, fir, oak, ash
and the beautiful Towering dogwood
an abundance of cheap fuel indefi-
nitely. The same is true of the water
supply Underlying these lands at
from ten to twenty feet are strata of
purest cold water.
Planting Model Orchards.
With over 10 acres already plant
ed in pitzenberg, Newtown Pippin,
Gano, and Rome Beauty trees, there
are five hundred acres more being
planted now and the whole six hun
dred acres will be in orchard next
spring. Since being cleared years ago
the lands have been producing fine
crops annually.

Education and infortion arr

Education and infortion arc
the two essentials of real ihtelli-
gence.
A mans brain may be stored
with many facts, but unless his
mind is educated he cannot be
termed intelligent. A mind like
this is only useful as a kind of
encyclopedias, for he would not
have the power to apply those
facts to particular purpose by
correct reasoning with any
amount of success. Neither can
man be termed intelligent with
out information. Here his brain
has the power to act logically
but there is nothing on which to
act.
SO, to be truly intelligent, we
must have both education. and
information, for education teach

I'D LIKE TO GO
winter

It seems to me I'd like to go
Where bells don't ring, or whis-
ties blow,
Nor clocks don't strike, nor gongs
don't sound,
And I'd have stiffness all around
Not real stiffness, but just the
trees
Low whispering or the hum Of
bees,
Or brook, faint babbling over
stones
In strangely, softly tangled
tones;
Or maybe the cricket or katydid,
Tor the songs of birds in the
hedges hid,
Or some such sweet sounds as
/ these
/ To fill a tired heart with ease.
If weren't for sight and sound
| and smell,
I'd like the city pretty we'll:
But when it comes to getting
rest,
| like the country lots the best.
Sometimes it seems to me / must
Just quit the city's din and dust
And get out where the sky is

And, say. now, how does it seem

ABOLIsHlNG THE POSTAGE
STAMP.

In our day the mail traffic of
large business concerns has swol-
len to gigantic proportions, and
even the simple labor Of afixing
stamps requires special clerical
staff. "No wonder, therefore,
says the Umchau, s'if the prob
lem has been considered how the
stamp could be abolished alto
gether without prejudice to the
interests of the post Office. Pro-
posals Of this character have not
been. waiting as for instance in
Bavaria, since February lst, 1910
large consignments are simply
stamped with postmark at the
post Office, the operation being
carried out by machinery. In
this way the post Office has saved
the expense for paper and the
printing costs for ten million
stamp, while the business world
has economical time and money.
For affiying stamps to one thou,
sand letters requires about an
hour and a half of time,
This method of treatment
while fairly satisfactory, is still
primitive. We can easily imag-
inc much better system worked
out somewhat along the lines Of
a gas or water meter, the letter
being simply placed in machine
and stamped with a postmarh
| which serves at the same time
as receipt for the postage and as
record for the date etc. The
machine would be inspected per
iodically by the post office in
just the same way as the con
sumer's gas or water meter il
inspected, and his bill would b.
paid as usual.
