THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 28, 1914. TRIALS AND TRIUMPHS OF HQMESTE APING ARE PICTURED BY ANNE SHANNON MONROE. AFTER three months passed in the heart of Oregon's inland empire a season of rare initiation into the old-time life of the great cattle ranches, where the atmosphere is still that of the past, with its sombreroed 'and bechapped range riders, its soft voiced Mexican vaqueros; with even ings forever glorified in memory when old-time buckaroo bosses were won out of their reticence and with quaint phrase and meaningful gesture told ol their exploits after this prolonged period in, which i was steeped In the romance of Oregon's past, I find, on coming back to the world of today, -with its activities, that the picture fades before the practical phase of the situation, and I want to utter a mignty protest. All through Southern California we see the footprints of tne early bpan iards. We see the crumbling missions and the weather-stained chapels and we hear the chapel bells just as they rang out years ago, calling the cowled monks to prayer. Everywhere we see California's romantic past, but over lapping It is California's commercial present. Change la Foretold. Rut with us how different! We have In Eastern Oregon our old-time life of 40 vears ago. our first occupation loot prints but they are still vigorously printing! From Burns, In .Harney uoun tv. we can travel south 100 miles and more and pass but two or at most three signs of occupation, and these are the great cattle ranches ot tne earner era, where the earlier mode of lift) is still going on, where there it not the slight est sign of a change and where the people do not realize that the day of the great range is bound to pass and the day of the farmer is at hand. This means a Dew people will Inherit the land, for cattlemen will never be larm ers. . Catttlemen will never evolve into farmers. They have small feet and . hands from a life In the saddle and from never working except with cattle. Buckaroo Is Prince. To ask a buckaroo to cut wood or pump water would be the greatest in sult you could put on him. He is there to ride after cattle and to do nothing else. You would ask a Cabinet mem ber to milk a cow as quickly as you would ask him. The buckaroo, gov erned only by the buckaroo boss, is a prince of the range, son of the royal house of cattle. He will live running cattle and when there are no more cat tle to run he will become a pensioner of his cattle king or drift to Australia or Mexico, where there is still an open range. He will not work with his hands. His personal aspirations go no far ther than to be buckaroo boss and the buckaroo boss, by his position, is robbed of aspirations. He has arrived; there is no step higher up for him. H? is the buckaroo boss, the biggest man on the range, with a hundred saddle horses at his command and a dozen men to take his orders. He is usually mild-voiced, quiet in his ways, never talkative; but he is as strong as an ox and no one disputes hlW orders. Rule of Boss Absolute. The boss" rule is absolute on the range. He smokes endless cigarettes, talks horse, dreams horse, spends his salary on trappings for his horse, on saddles and bridles and stirrups and spurs and chaps and wide sombreros and red silk neckerchiefs and red sweaters. He loves a flash of vivid color, he loves his tobacco, his world lies under a sunny sky and the sole business of his life is to find deep grass and sweet water for a bunch of cattle. He never has a penny ahead or makes an investment or takes up land or in any way concerns himself for the morrow, for will it not be like today and yesterday? Will there not always be blue skies and sunshine, a bunch of cattle to get out to grass, a cigarette to roll, a song to sing, the open range, with the grub wagon and bis blankets when the day is ended? , For what purpose would he save money? What more is there to buy? He has all that his soul craves. Just let him alone. Empire Being Invaded. But he isn't going to be let alone nut very much longer. The baek-to-tlie-soil wave is carrying hundreds of homesteaders this Spring into his em pire. 1 can see him now as 1 saw him I In. a dozen instances, sitting a-hunch in his saddle, rolling a cigarette, smil ing, as he watched with . careless curiosity a white prairio schooner drag its way through the desert. , Jt is loaded to the top. A woman sits beside the driver, and children poke their heads from the canvas cover. Plows, spades and hoes leak into evi dence. Four sometimes six horses drag patiently at the load. The buckaroo smiles cynically and yet a little sympathetically. "Poor devils!" he says, as their dust unfolds them, and then, "Dura fools!" He is corry for them, but how can they be so stupid, disturbin' the soil that the Lord. A'mighty put grass on for cat tle. Goln" straight agin' Providence. He rides lazily on, unconcernedly sing . ing his love ditty. And those in the wagon? They see him. They know him for a buckaroo. - "Poor chap," says the father, briskly, "his day is about done. Get up. boys," and he drives on toward his homestead, carried through the dust by his vision of inde pendence. Homesteadlng Soon to Be Lost Art. Who should really have the sym pathy? The man coming into the new country whose problems are largely in the future, a country that isn't down In any book for him to look up, that be must meet and know first hand, or the happy-go-lucky buckaroo whose day is surely waning? In many instances one must envy the homesteader his opportunity. He is doing a thing that soon will be written out of American history; he is the last pioneer; he is going into the only vast unclaimed new country left to America, and from the virgin soil will carve out a home and a livelihood. He will put something on the map. His work is not only for himself but for all peo ple and all time. The men who come after him will be followers; he is the leader. He is doing a heroic thing: he is doing the kind of thing that has filled minds and hearts with the ro mance of life since the beginning of American occupation. Most of the 100,000,000 people of the United States divert and excite them selves by merely reading it he' is liv ing it. Romance Felt at Start. That is all on the start. That is as it looks when he thinks of the great area of inland empire waiting to be settled by such as himself. That is as it seems when he buys his white sheeted prairie schooner, his outfit of farm implements, his fence wire, his lumber for his cabin. That is as It appears on the start, with all the nov elty of the adventure still on and shin ing like fresh paint, and the vision all ahead. But how will it be after he arrives at his quarter or half-section, a drop of water on the great ocean of area. It is so Immense, so unthinkably re mote from the world he has known all his life. There may not be . a neigh bor in sight, and he must haul his provisions 30 miles, perhaps. A horse goes lame; a piece of machinery breaks down; feed gives out; the supplies don't last as long as he expected and his wife craves fresh meat and vege tables. He's alone. Everything costs double what lie figured.

Then it is that romance drops her silky, slumbrous folds and stark reality, the skeleton of every dreamer's paradise, stalks forth in the hard light of day. Prairie Schooner Familiar Sight. For the past two months all the roads leading into the Inland Empire have known the creeping white prairie Echooner of the homesteader. Tou stand in your doorway and look out toward the mountains. You see a wnite speck on the road leading over the mountains; it moves yes, it's a home steader. You meet them pulling out of Burns, you meet them stopping at The Narrows for additional supplies from the most unique store in all East ern Oregon the general merchandise store of Charlie Haines, where every thing under the sun is stored away overhead or on counters, leaving scarcely room to stand while you do your shopping. This is a great center and outfitting point for hunters during the season; last season a carload of men stopped and wanted to know if Mr. Haines was supplied with ammunition. - He ad mitted he was low but said he had some on the way. "How much?" de manded one of the men who didn't be long to that country and so didn't know Charlie Haines. "Two carloads, said Charlie. He buys that way. And it all goes out in wagonloads and by parcel post over a radius of 100wmiles or more. Store Regular Stopping Point. Mr. Haines is a real frontier mer chant; he always has what you ask for or something a lot better, and he sells it to you with such brisk cheer fulness that you get more than your parcel along with your change. All the homesteaders stop there on their way south through Harney County and get acquainted with Charlie. You will see them in Bear Valley, over in Grant County, on your way to the pictur esque old mining town of Canyon City, the county seat of Grant. . . They are swarming in from every direction, and still there is good land to be had, anj room for plenty more people. They can all send for their relatives. Many do. Family Takes 2000 Acres. Mr. Jetley, a Dakota man, who had been prominent for years in the poli tics of his native state, found the op portunity he wanted for his boys in Harney Valley. Mr. Jetley's father pioneered Dakota when it was a. wilderness peopled with Indians. He considered that , the best thing a man could dp far his sons was to give them a chance at . pioneering. He located on a homestead, his three sons are on homesteads, his daughter came home from Berkeley for her va cation, caught the fever, abandoned college and took up a homestead, then sent for a cousin, also a college girl, and she took up a homestead. Then, 160 acres making such a pin prick on the ocean of unfilled land, they got a desert claim apiece, making an almost solid block in the family of over 2000 acres. All this land is being cleared, plowed, fenced and prepared for crops. Mr. Jetley has the money to do it and he is a born developer. He is. the type of man most needed in a new country. He is working for a stage route, for mail delivery, for a telephone. He has been through much harder pioneering, plus Indians, and the. obstacles do not discourage him. Seattle Furnishes Developer, Mr. 'Murphy is a Seattle man who is doing the same thing in the Iron Moun tain district. He has put up good build ings, has constructed a reservoir . to catch the waste water for irrigation, has good horses, and is getting his land speedily into, cultivation. He has imported pigeons for his own use, has a fine garden, milk cows and every thing in comfortable shape. His daughter is a Seattle University girl. In the Catlow Valley, south of Har ney, large families of relatives of small means have pooled their possessions, so to speak, and live a sort of com munity life. They all work together and what one has another profits by. They had little money to take into the country, they have had to work their way, but by . this method of co-operation they manager to get along m fair comfort during the first pioneer stage. They are beginning to- erect their houses now of the native stone. They help each other build, dig. wells and clear land. One takes a job and if he falls sick another does the work. Their ranches join, so one-well serves for several, and the women are company for each other. Some of the women can handle horses like a buckaroo, some prefer housework. - The duties thus divide themselves according to congeniality. i . Co-operation Found Helpful. Where a large family of relatives can work harmoniously together in this way, they can manage the home stead problem on much less capital, and they escape the pangs of isolation. They have a postofflce at Beckley, and Mr. Tullock is the land commissioner there, which saves settlers a long trip to Burns to file. Mr. Tullock makes no charge for helping a new home steader to get located. His interest is in settling the country. A number of trained nurses and school teachers have taken homesteads. The law is lenient to a woman wage earner; she may leave her ranch to earn her living. In one case, two young women in Harney Valley have taken adjoining homesteads and built their cabins in a double house on the dividing line. Both are nurses and go to their homesteads to rest up be tween cases. They are 25 miles from Burns, but they will find little diffi culty in getting back and forth, as someone is always going to town for supplies. Freedom is JSnjored. They have a cunning little bunga low, a wide sleeping porch, they get the best books and magazines, and they find it no hardship whatever to hold down their claims rather, it is a delightful retreat from work. They have saddle horses and ride about the country in the greatest free dom and happiness.. The fact that these girl homesteaders must hire their clear ing and plowing done gives employment to some homesteader who did not bring in sufficient money to see him through. Several young women teach in the dis tricts and in town, going to their home steads for the week-ends. A number of young 'men have taken to school teaching as the most practical- solu tion of getting the cash with which to develop their land. And this is the pivot about which the whole of homesteading turns; you have got to have some money. The man with a family who thinks he can get together enough supplies to last him a few weeks, and get along once he reaches his land, is building for himself a fool's paradise from which he will be rudely awakened. Pcnnllcaa Man Excluded. The pity of it is that the man who needs the chance most keenly can't take it. A penniless man with a fam ily can't make good.

Unless ho can out his labor on his land, his land can't produce. The homestead and the desert claim ill W WIC .J of the man of small means as to where he can get the most returns for his investment, it is wen nign nupmeoo for the man with nothing ahead. That t whv one sees so many deserted homesteads. Poor men have tried it. were starved out and have left. Others more fortunate or more thrifty, hav ing saY.eu sometoing, iojiow u good. The larger part or. narney youuu lies at an elevation of 4500 feet; it has a cool, bracing, invigorating at mosphere with lots of tone in it re minding one of Colorado. Here and there among the hills are sheltered pockets of the richest land imagin able, well watered, where every kind of crop will thrive wonderfully, even tomatoes and melons, but the major part of the land Is suitable principally- for hay and grain. , The early . cattlemen set the stand ard, dictated by nature herself: the hills for cattle, the flat lands for hay and grain. I think as the settlers subdue the soil, as the great cattle ranches are divided up into smaller farms, cattle and grain will continue to be the product of Harney County. Alfalfa does well, and it brings a higher price than wild hay. tons of which are cut on the great cattle ranches yearly. Fruit. Possibilities Limited. It will forever be a cattle country, only where there are now a few im mense cattle companies, in the near future evej-y rancher will have his 160 or 320 acres in feed, with his herd on the hills. He will also raise a good garden for his family. Fruit will likely always come from farther north in Grant County, where the altitude is only 2300 feet, and where the John Day and other valleys have demonstrated their fruit possi bilities. The entire Harney Valley was once a lake bed. It Is punctured with in numerable springs, which make irriga tion possible to many ranches. The Blitzen Valley Canal, utilizing and controlling the Blitzen River, has drained the tule, swamps and watered the dry lands, redeeming altogether to irrigable cultivation 80,000 Veres of This is the largest canal in the state of Oregon, 25 miles long and 20 feet wide, carrying an abundance oj water. California Demonstratea Values. There is no land known to agricul . v. .ioca with these tule lands. California long ago showed what they were worth in rare proaucuveuos of this land shortly will be on the market for ranchers who prefer to buy outright and who prefer irriga tion to dry farming. , The Blitzen Valley, is nature-made to be the garden spot of the Inland Empire. Everything will grow there, and in luxurious abundance. It is the fine, dark, loamy soil that produces tk.'iri a nntatnes. Dumpkins. beets and melons that get first prizes at county lairs. I remember when I was a child In the Yakima country, seeing the ranch ers put a pumpkin in a washtub and the pumpkin just, about Xyi4 th" HS-i Some farmer on the n. . soil in those days was always bringing a won derful peck of satin-skinned potatoes or Immense beets or carrots into town for disnl.iv in a store window. This Ix the kind of thing that will be hap penlng in a few years all through the Blitzen Valley. But now not one sin gle farmer! It is all virgin, all wait ing. Transportation Magician's Wand. nniv such exDerimentation as has gone on at the P ranch demonstrates how crops will thrive throughout its entire -length. The history of the laU ima country in Washington, blessed a quarter of a century ago with a rail road, will be repeated in the Blitzen Valley, when Harney, too, gets its ran road. Such soil as you couldn't touch In th Vakima country now for less than several hundred dollars an acre is awaiting you in the, Blitzen Valley at a practical price. And the railroad is sure it is only a matter of a little time. Much of the land in Harney and Cat- low Valleys will always be dry farmed, though it ts hardly correct to call It dry farming, for the rainfall amounts to 13 Inches annually and by digging res ervoirs and catching the waste water it could nearly all be provided with ir rigation. This, however, requires cap ital and in the meantime no man need be afraid of the problems of dry farm ing. I ran a spade into the earth in at least a dozen widely separated loca tions and always threw up damp earth within three inches from the surface. There appear to be subterranean springs and streams. Confectioner Success as Rancher. The only thing to remember with dry farming is that every process works Just the opposite from what It does in a humid climate. One must make a' study of it and not go at it in a haphazard manner. Numerous books have been written on the subject of dry farming. I found Bledstoe particularly clear and simple. A careful study of any of the well known writers on dry farming as it has been developed in Utah and Cali fornia will give one an insight into Just how to go about it We have been Inclined to smile at the man who did his farming from books, but it's a pretty good way where farming is a new kind- On one of the Catlow ranches is a man who lived in Phila delphia all his life and ran an ice cream parlor. He wanted to be a farmer and he homesteaded dry land. His neighbors call him the "book farmer," because he always had a book on dry farming tucked under his arm. But 1 want to tell you he has translated his dry. farming theories into a beautiful. .. -v.. - ... a bet- ter one anywhere in Harney. He has cattle on Ms nins ana in n. splendidly.

Going into Harney County, one Is apt to Judge appearances by former ex periences in dry countries, and this Is not a safe method. For Instance, west of Harney Lake there is a crusty white outcropping covering much of the soli, that I condemned at once as alkali. I stopped for some time at a home stead there and discovered that instead of alkali it was soda, salt and potaah, evidently an outcropping of the same saits that are to create such wealth for Lake County in Summer and Albert Lakes. These salts In large quantities are worth more than gold mines and yet we know scarcely anything about them or the extent ot the deposits. An MAPS AID MOTORISTS ON HUNT AND CAMPING TOUR Useful Charts for Various Sections of Oregon Issued If Cosst and 0 odetic Survey Work Done and Being Done Described. BY LEWIS A. McATSTHUR. THIS is the time of year that many people are preparing for an nual camping and hunting trips, or for their automobile tours, if they possess machines. Along wtlh other necessities, a good map should be tak en, if it is possible to secure one or the country to be vlBlted. It is the pur pose of this article to list a few of the best Government publications that may be of assistance to those who intend going out into the wilds of Oregon for the Hummer. At best, the state of Oregon Is poor ly mapped, and there are but few scale maps that have any claim to accuracy. The state and the Federal governments are now co-operating in getting out good maps, but the process Is neces sarily a slow one, owing to the care that must be exercised In the work. Scacoaat la Charted. The seacoast of Oregon baa been charted by the Coast and Geodetic Sur vey, and the maps published show nar row strips along the seashore, and most of the harbors. Several sheets on a Bcale of about one-third of an Inch to a mile show the coast from Cali fornia to British Columbia, and are en graved or lithographed In black. Then there is a series of seven sheets on a scale of one-Inch equals three fourths of a mile, showing the Colum bia Kiver from Its mouth to Wash ougaL In addition to these maps are a num ber showing the territory around Chetco, Rogue River. Cape Blanco. Co qullle River. Coos Bay, I'mpqua River. Yaqulna Bay, Nestucca, Tillamook and Nehalem. The superintendent of the Coast snd Geodetic Survey In Washington will furnish a catalogue showing all maps that have been published. The maps may be secured m Portland from the agent of survey at 1S2 Morrison street. Atlas Charts Puhliabed. In addition to the charts of the Coast and Geodetic Survey, two atlas sheets iave '"" published by the United States Geological Survey, cov ering areas on the coast These sheets are known as the Coos Bay and Port Orford quadrangles, and they embrace an area of about 1800 square miles in Coos and Curry Counties, on a scale of one inch equals two miles. The Geological Survey sheets are hlghlv accurate and as they are en graved in colors, they are the best maps for general une. They are car ried in stock by dealers in engineers supplies in Portland and by the larger . . . ..
