Missourians and newcomers from
many other middle western and east
em states are flocking into Malheur
county.
Unrest is in the land, and the peo
ple are seeking out the vantage
places which remain on the last
frontier, being crowded ever farther
and farther backward into the hills
Especially is this true of Malheur,
where vast tracts of land yet await
the settler; where the prettiest op
portunity in the world now exists for
the breeding of fine .stock, for the
ranges have been depleted since the
coming of the railroad.
Only two short weeks ago the Enter
prise told of a party of three Mis
sourians who had been taken out by
D. C. Brichoux to be located on 320
acre homesteads. All three oi the
party admired the country, and not
withstanding the fact that they en
countered hardships in getting out
of the new land, due to the mishap
of the automobile, as soon as they
returned to civilization they sought
out the office of the Braymer Bee,
and following is what the Missouri
paper tells about their experiences:
"Arriving at 9 p. m., at Ontario,
Or., I was met by D. C. Brichoux,
the land man, and was taken in his
auto to Vale, 16 miles distant. The
ground was covered with snow and
the moonbeams made the scenery
beautiful. In our way over we pass
ed some alfalfa stacks, around which
were gathered between 300 and 400
rabbits feeding on the alfalfa, of
which they are fond. But this was
not a rabbit ranch.
Journey Begina Well.
"Early the next morning, we left
by auto for Barren Valley. For sev
eral miles the road lies through fine,
rich valley with fine homes. Large
herds of horses and cattle were seen
out on the ranges. About 12 miles
out we came to the mountains. Now
we would be climbing a mountain
side, now plunging down into some
canyon, rounding the point of some
great hill, with thin rugged rock
peaks towering above us; now glid
ng out again into some beautiful
valley. In the mountains, we en
countered considerable snow, which
gave us some trouble.
"About the middle of the after-
i -
noon we entered Barren oauey, a
beautiful table land 35 miles long and
9 miles wide. The land is level ex
cept along the foot of the mountains,
where it is hilly. That evening and
the next morning we inspected the
ands open to entry. "There are
thousands of acres of fine land in this
valley open for entry. Tbe soil is
deep, rich sandy loam. Water can be
had for most of it. Some dry farm-
ng is carried on successfully. With
a new railroad building up the Mal
heur river, a few miles away, this
valley is destined to become a pros
perous farming section.
"Having satisfied ourselves of the
land and character of the soil, we
began our return trip. We were'
gliding along at a good speed at 2 :30
m., when a ripping noise and the
stopping of the car told us something
had happened to the gearing. We
were 8 miles away from any house,
and 70 miles from Vale. We walked
to the next house, got a team and
pulled our car into Skull Springs,
a division of a stage line, 6 miles
from Vale. An examination the next
morning showed that toe car could be
repaired only by a cog wheel which
we did not have.
"As it was two days until the
stage went down, we decided to walk
on. At 11 a. m., three of us start
ed, and walking 16 miles, we came
to a road house. Being very tired,
vie put up there for the night.
"Early the next morning we push
ed on. We concluded to cross over
the mountains to the new railroad
which lay about 6 miles to our left
and go down to Vale on the construc
tion train. We had with us Mark
Twain's infallible guide to pilot us
over
12 Milea to Go 6.
"Leaving the road, we atruck out
over the trackless mountains. After
traveling aome hours, the infallible
guide declared he did not know where
we were We could see nothing but
mountain peaks, rabbits and ssgej
brush. By and by we came to a
stream flowing down into a canyon
and followed it. Farther down we
came to where the water plunged
over a aeries of falls from 10 to 60
feet.
"For more than a mile wt crept
along the side of steep cliffs, above
these fails, holding on to jutting
rock or brush which grew there.
Had our foot slipped, or our band
hold given way, w would have fall
en to the rocks and ice at the bottom
of some of these falls and been ser
loualy hurt.
"After lung and hard struggle,
we reached the bottom tit tbe canyon
about one mile from the railroad
lamp. Instead of traveling I Utiles,
e Ui traveled M to 16 mi las.

story: "A colored man was charged
with stealing $9.70. His lawyer, af
ter a long fight succeeded in securing
his acquittal. After the acquittal the
lawyer told the darky that he ought
to have aome pay for his hard work.
'Have you got any money at all?' in
quired the lawyer. 'Ive' still got that
$9,70,' aaid the negro."
be up that day. It was 15 miles to
thf Harper ranch, the nearest place
where we could get accomodation for
the night. At the railroad camp we
were joined by an Idaho sheriff, who
waa on the hunt for some horses
which had been stolen and sold in
that section of thi country. Our
party now numbered four.
"On we went, over 15 miles of
railroad tiea, reaching the Harper
ranch at dusk. Here we found every
thing neat and inviting. " Splendid
meal? and good beds refreshed us.
Here also was a telephone and we
'phoned into Vale for a rig to meet
us the next morning.
"We were now 26 miles out from
the city. As soon as it was light the
next morning we started over the(
road. After tramping 12 miles more,
we saw the rig in the distance com
ing. About a mile farther on we
met and with joy climbed in and
reached Vale at 1 p. -in. At 2:35 p.
m., Mi ad transacted my business and
was on the train leaving Vale.
"I had traveled about 150 miles in

"I am now at my friend's home, that

NEW TOWNS, DEPOTS,
NYSSA-BUHL RAILWAY
The platting of a townsite at the
12-mile station on the Nyssa-Buhl
line has been completed. The tenta
tive name Riverview, by which it has
been known, will probably be changed
to Adrian, to conform with postoffice
regulations requiring the names of
offices to te as far as possible from
a like appearance when written to
those already Installed. There ia also
a station of Riverview on the O. S.
L. The change will have no bad
effect on the latest competitor for
favor in Eastern Oregon towns.
