I Am Installing Several Different Machines to assist me in my work and I will be able to make a greater percentage of cures than ever before. My office location is the same as - before. Old bank building, Main Street, near the Ochoco bridge, Prineville, Oregon DR. A. W. GRATER Magnetic Healer When Carl Gray waa president of I ho Mill roads In Oreicon ho Invited : a party of his friends, of whom I ' wan (inn, to ko with him on a trip to I I'rlnevlllo. We sat on the back 1 platform of Mr. Cray's private car : while Mr. Gray pointed out the In ! toreHtliiK sight along the road and I told UN of tho eriKliionrlng difficulties 1 that hud lice n overcome in building the track through the picturesque . Ix-Hchutca canyon. Thomu W. Law json, who waa one of the party, ! proved that he wan a capital story ; teller a well a a siiccctiHfiilN Wull 1 street operator and a wizard of ! word. We were met at Redmond tiy diii naiiiey, or Hurns, and a party who took us over by automo bile to l'riiievllle. A lund ohow and 1 livestock exhibition was in progress ut i'rlnevllle, and Curl Gray, Tom Lawson and Iflll Kanlcy all made a hit with the Crook county ranchers I and livestock men by their knowl ' edge of the farming game and by i their friend Uncus and good fellow ship. To most of the outsiders the exhibits on display were a decided surprise, but having" been In Crook County a good many times I waa I prepared to believe that the wheat , and oats, the corn and vegetables, the cheese and honey, the pears and ; apples, the peaches and prunes, were local products. Fruit, however, Is a aide issue In Crook county, the ruls ; lug of livestock being the leading Industry. ... Crook county Is a many sided country, as one might naturally ex pect when one remembers that it is larger tban the lost provinces of France, Alsace-Lorraine, having an area of 3,625,920 acres, or, to put It Into miles, 5978 square miles. Crook county Is a vast plateau bounded by mountain. The Cas cades form it western boundary, with peak rising to 10,660 feet the height of one of the peaks of the Three Sister. It i an Inspiring light to look westward and tee the ! snow covered and glistening sum- mils of Mount Washington, Black ! Crater, the Three Slaters, old Brok- en Top, Elk mountain, Irish, moun ! tain, the Twins, Maiden peak and i the other heaven kissing hills of ' the Cascade range. The eastern I and northeastern boundary of the ; county 1 formed by the evergreen clad slopes of the Blue mountains. Along the southeastern part of the county the Buck mountains are to be seen, while In the extreme southern section are the Paulina mountains. ... Some year ago I drove over from Mitchell, In Wheeler county, across ; the Blue mountains, through the Ochoco National forest to Prineville by way of Summit, Howard and Ochoco. It is a trip of rare beauty. Here and there the road skirts rug ged cliffs wonderfully colored and sculptured. I remember pausing just about sunset at the foot of a rugged bluff. The parting rays of ! the midsummer sun made the reds I and soft yellows of the cliff fairly ' glow as though a spotlight had been : turned on them. On still another ; trip I drove In by way of Shanlko, Antelope and Grizzly to Prineville and thence on to Klamath Falls. One cannot drive through Crook county without being Impressed with Its wealth and the diversity of its I resources. For mile after mile In crossing the Cascades, either by the Santiam road from Albany or by way of the road from Eugene that ' goes up the McKenzie river and crosses the Cascades betweeu the lava beds and Black Crater, Just to ! the westward of the town of Sisters or In traveling over the Blue moun tains, one Is impressed with the beauty and value of the vast forests of sugar pine and yellow pine. With their rough red bark looking like alligator hide, with their lance-like trunks varying from two or three to nine or ten feet in diameter, with soft and yielding carpet of long and fragrant pine needles, the pines of Crook' county are a decided asset to the picturesque features of Crook county. ... While Btockraislng Is the principal Industry today, the time Is coming when the converting of the forests into lumber and the getting it to market will bring great wealth into the county. Of the more than 12, 000,000,000 feet of standing mer chantable timber In the county, about 7,000,000,000 feet are pri vately owned, the rest being within the national forests. With Us old time cattle ranches, Its prosperous and growing cities, its dry farming, its Carey act rec lamation projects, its ice caves and lava caves, its mountain peaks and living glaciers, its mountain lakes and sagebrush plains, Its hunting and fishing, its excellent roads for motoring, Crook county will well re pay the tourist for the necessary time and expense to make a trip over the county.
