WHAT OREGON Is DOING.
Statistics Show Great Diversity of
Resources and Productions.

Portland, Ore, August 27.-(Spec-
ial. i'm 1911 the wool clip of Ore
gon weighed 100000 pounds, was
shorn from about 100000 sheep
and was sold for about $4,000, 600.
During the same period the state
produced 100000 pounds of mohair,
worth $4,000. Goats have been
found nearly as valuable for clearing
brush land as for producing mohair.
In 1911 Oregon produced 10000
bales of hops, worth $4,00O,0OO. The
production was only half that of a
few years ago, but prices have been
extremely good.
In 1911 Oregon produced poultry
to the extent of 100000 birds, hay-
ing a value of $7,00O,000.
During the same year the state
produced 32,000,00O dozens of eggs,
valued at $9.6OO,O0O. The poultry
business is still an infant industry.
In 1911 the Oregon potato crop
was the greatest ever known, very
nearly approaching the 100000
bushel mark. with a value. to the
growers, of over S4,000,O00.
In the same year onions were
grown to the amount of about 175,-
900 bushels, worth $4,000. The
bulk of this crop is produced within
a small area, being grown almost ex-
clusiyely on what is known as
beaver dam" land.
In 1911 Oregon produced $3,400,-
900 worth OF butter, but in order to
supply the demand, at least three
times this amount was shipped into
the state from other sections.
In 1911 Oregon dairies produced
100000 gallons of milk and
cream, having a value of S4,0O0,000.
The product is said to be the clean
est and most wholesome of that of
any state.
In 1911 Oregon produced 5,0O0,-
900 pounds of cheese, valued at
S75S.00O. The duality is of the very
best. Los Angeles uses more Ore
gOn cheese in feeding its tourists
than of all other kinds combined.

klamath Falls, Ore.-Reports have
it that Governor West will direct his
attention to klamath Falls after he
completes his work in Portland. A
number of women belonging to the
Equal Rights Club have been active
in getting the city council to take ac-

and laid on the table. 1t is said that

TROUT WILL GROW LARGE.
Superintendent O'MaIley Says Fish
Will Exceed 20 Pounds.

That the eastern brook fry plant
ed in Applegate and Big Butte Will
grow in the Rogue river to a size
exceeding that of the steeIhead Is
the prediction of Henry U Nancy
superintendent of government hatch-
cries. who has been looking after
preparations to take fish eggs the
coming season.
"The eastern brook in its natlVe
habitat, the cold brooks and streams
of New England, rarely attain a size
exceeding a pound, though IN lakes
they frequently reach a size OF 10
6 pounds. The same fish, transplant
ed to Colorado. attain size OF from
10 to 20 pounds, and | believe that
with the abundant feed and warmer
water of the Rogue, this trout VIII
exceed this size and equal IN game
ness the steelhead."
Mr.. O'Malley is planning to hatch,
in connection with the state board,
quarter million eastern brook eggs
from Colorado at the Elk creek
hatchery. which will be liberated in
the adjacent streams as fingerlings.
He hopes to take ten million salmon
eggs and three million steelhead
trout eggs the coming season, which
will be hatched at Elk creek and
liberated. In anticipation of secur-
ing a modification of the closed riv-
er law, Rod Macleay, who purchased
the Hume interests, will operate the
hatchery on the lower river this sea-
SON.
Salmon will be taken this year at
the Ament dam, instead of below
Grants Pass or at Fridays eddy as
formerly Rocks will be put in the
rifle below the dam and at the fish
ways, care being taken not to inter
fere with the ascent of steelheads.
Although formal notice was served
on the California; Oregon Power Com
pany to begin construction of an
other fishway at Gold Ray, nothing
has been done, and thousands of fish
are reported as held up by the dam,
where they batter their heads in et-
forts to find the present fishway.

MARsHFIELD BOOSTER.
Has the Portland Environment an
Influence on the U. S. Engineer
in Charge of Coos Bay?

Coos Bay, Sept. 4, 1912.-In 1909
when the repair and extension of the
Coos Bay jetty was demanded by the
navigators and the Coos Bay people
so that the bar would scour to great
er depth, the U. S. engineer recon-
mended sea-going dredge to eX-
pertinent with on the Coos Bay bar.
While believing that the bar dredge
recommendation was not made in
good faith but only to delay further
the permanent improvement to jetty
necessary to maintain depth of water
on the bar, few of us went to work
to secure the bar dredge appropria-
ton. 1t was a surprise to many
when the 19O9-10 congress made the
$350.000 appropriation for this
dredge. and it is said the engineers
were also surprised. 1t is pointed
out that after recommending the
$35O,000 as the amount needed to
build this special dredge, tnat when
bids were called for, the lowest one
received was 100000 more than the
appropriation, which is claimed as
proof that they didn't know >what
they wanted or made the plans more
elaborate so as to delay construction.
The money was appropriated by the
1909-10 congress and it was over
year before bids were asked for.
Why did it take over a year to SUBJ
NIT plans for what they had recon-
mended two years before? Is it due
to the influence of the Portland en-
vironment that it takes from 1909 to
1913 to get dredge built for expert
menting on the Coos Bay bar? 1t is
now reported that these same en-
gineers see no objections to the rail-
roads bridging Coos Bay, and why
should they if they are under the
Portland influence, for Portland
would be glad to see a tollgate built
on the Coos Bay bar.
The Importance of Coos Bay to the
Pacific coast and the United States
government is such that there should
be no chance for Portland, an inland
city, to in any way, directly or indi
rectly, have any influence on the pol
icy or plans of improvement on Coos
Bay, and especially in permitting the
bottling up of the harbor by a rail-
road monopoly.

FIVE TERMS IN SENATE.
Perkins of California Announces Re-
tiFement.

San Grancisco.-George C. Per-
kins, United States senator from
California, announced his permanent
political retirement upon his return
from Washington Thursday. In a
statement made public here Senator
Perkins said he would be candidate
to succeed himself. He assigned
failing health and the infirmaties of
age as the cause. His term will end
March 4, 1915. He has been in po-
litical life AZ years. He has been
appointed once and has been elected
four times to the United States SEN
ate. From 1880 until 1883 he was
the first governor of California, un-
der the new constitution.
Senator Perkins is now chairman
of the committee on naval affairs
During his entire service in the SEN
ate he has been absent from his seat
only 81 days.

BUILD ON QUICKsAND.
Several New York Skyscrapers Rest
Directly Upon Ii.

Quicksand, to the popular mind
lurking monster that swallows the
unwary, while often treacherous, has
been safely built upon, and several
of the second-class skyscrapers in
New York rest directly upon it. 1t is
necessary at the outset to correct
the popular idea about quicksand.
The engineers definition of quick
sand is any loose, friable material
saturated with water. There are diff
ferent kinds of sand, varying from
nearly as treacherous as the popular
idea of it to material that may be
safely built upon. The ground in
the lower end of Manhattan island is
a quicksand, extending from the sur
face to a maximum depth of 80 feet
below Broadway. 1t will bear three
tons per square foot, and the founda-
tions of many tall buildings rest
upon it. Filled-in ground is one of
the poorest materials on which to
build, as for years after it has been
deposited it will continue to settle,
and obviously any structure it carries
must settle with it.
Ordinary ground will bear safely
from two to four tons per square
foot, dry clay from four to six tons
per square foot, good gravel from
six to ten tons, and bedrock from
fifty to 200 tons per square foot.
Sand, if confined, will stand very
large pressures, and similarly water,
the most unsuitable to all, if it could
be restrained, would be capable of
resisting an enormous pressure. Ger
tainly no force man has produced is
sufficient to injure it's structure

where capital punishment is sane

Wallace announced the reprieve for
two weeks of George Figuerroa, un-

fenced to die on the same day. Later
he will inquire into the crimes of
Will Luis, a Chinese, and William
Burk who had been reprieved until
September 13. Five other condemned
men will in turn be given the benefit
of the inquiry.

anime the records. | have not made
up my mind that the abolition of
capital punishment would be an un-
mixed good. One of the strongest
points in favor of the removal of the
death penalty is the fact that under
existing conditions the law works un-
evenly. The poor man suffers the
extreme penalty; the rich man by
long-drawn-out legal processes usu-
ally escapes the extreme penalty"
Wallace is under the necessity of
granting or refusing clemency to
nine death-condemned men within
the next few weeks.

law, known as the Walker law

repeating the Walker law, and there
by opening the way to easy violation
of the proposed new restriction to
auction pool betting, is an obscure
one, placed near the end of long

NEW ROUTE TO LAKE.
Stakes Set Indicate Route Will
Reach Rim Near Phantom Ship.

Stakes along Sand creek indicate
a new route to Crater Lake from
Fort klamath, and according to G.
G. Miller, local photographer, who
has been over the route of the pro-
posed road, it is as pretty as the road
along Anna creek, and although it
is somewhat longer, the grade is
gradual and there are no steep hills
encountered.
This road. according to Miller,
would come out two or three miles
to the right of the trail leading down
10 the water at Crater Lake, and
would reach the rim near the Phan-
tom Ship. This is about the lowest
point on the rim of the lake.
Miller has just returned from a
three weeks trip in the Crater Lake
country, where he and his partner,
Glen Johnson, secured a number of
splendid new views of Crater Lake
TO add to their collection. Coming
back to Fort Klamath, Miller took
two pack horses and a guide, and eX.
plored Sand creek, getting many
splendid pictures of this canyon and
the pinnacles and other scenic at
fractions in it.
Starting from the Sand creek
bridge, one can go to within three
miles of the pinnacles with team,
