TONS OF BUTTER AND
FINE BRED STOCK.;
What Thrift Has Done and May Do-
Bits of Early Pioneer History.
(Staff Corrcspondtnct.
Ukiah. Ora, Nov. 9. In another
sketch which appeared In the Hast
Oregonlan a few days ago the unde
veloped resources of Camas Prairie,
were mentioned. These are numerous
and houndlrs In quantity. Imt they
do not overshadow the resources
that are being put Into practical use.
The undeveloped resources are
coming and there la no question of It,
hut Camas Prairie is already making
herself known by the fine products
that are being sent into the outside
markets where they demand a good
price and rank In quality with the
best in the country. The locality is
not only favorable to stockralsing and
dairying, but is capable of turning
out fine garden vegetables and fruits.
Both classes of this production, of the
hardier nature, are astonishingly fine.
Wili Grow Grain.
Grain, too, is destined to form a
part of the great product o fthe fu
ture. While all of- the grain yet pro
duced is usually cut early and con
verted into hay. still Mr. J. T. Huston,
one of the pioneers of the prairie
states that as high as 100 bushels of
well matured oats and barley have
been threshed to the acre in this com
munity. At present, however, it las
not been extensivly ralsd and it is
expected that as the couutr" fettled
up this, with other diversified pro
ductlons of the soil will enter large
ly Into the exports of the country.
Tons of Butter.
At present stockralsing and dairy
Ing are the leading productions. In
this small valley, not exceeding 15
miles In length and six to eight miles
in width the output is wonderful, and
it Is claimed that its capacity is not
at all taxed: that the "beginning has
scarcely been reached. It is estimat
ed that the annual output of butter
alone from Camas Prairie is jnore
than 20 tons. Of this output Jake
Bom. Sam Clark. Alex McKenzle, W
M. Filter, E. Connell, J. Sturdevant,
Joe Meddle and C. Mclteynolds all
make two tons or more of butter an
nually and there are several smaller
producers that swell the total to a
larger number.
The bulk of this butter is shipped
to Pendleton, though it finds market
at many other points in the country
It is noted for its quality and the
Camas Prairie product carries with It
a name that makes It a strong com
netltor lu any field. Some of the in
dividual brands are sought for and
some of the Pendleton merchants
will handle no other and their patrons
wilt buy no other. Modern machin
ery is being shipped into the country
and In the course of a few years It is
piedlcted that the output of butter Ir.
the prairie will treble Its present fig
ures. Cattle
The cattle of Camas Prairie are
usually of a fine breed, most of them
being Shorthorns and Herelorus.
There are probably 5000 stock cattle
owned in the prairie at present.
Among the stockmen interested In
this industry are: It. S. Moore, who
has 100 head; Ralph Clark, 150 head;
Frank Hilbert, 250; Garrison and La
fontaine, 300; Mossie & Son, 125;
Alex McKinzie, 100; Tom Gilliam,
100; C. Hale, 100; C. Mclteynolds,
100; Fred Ganger, 100; J. T. Huston,
B. F. French, Rosco Dickson, Joe
Mettle, Charlie Gest, Sam Clark, all
have 50 head or more; William How
aid, 100; Viebrock & Schmidt, 250;
Miller Dick, 50; H. Thompson, 75;
H. T. Connell, 100; F. Brown, 50;
Ed Rhlnehart, 75; C. B. Wade, 250;
Ed Brehm, 100; George McGaughey,

Pioneers and Early History.
There nrc mam- old pioneers still (
living in lini.itllla county and many1
of them still sin vivo in the southern
lwrtlon of the county. Pilot Rock1
and the count rv (mm Pllni XlnrXi nl
Hklah contains many of the honored
personages. This feature alone would
furnish a separate story, as no coun
try in the world Is fraught with more
interesting history thnn the country.
Where Rolls the Oregon."
Maria Byrd. who lives between
Pilot Rock and Mountain Homo. Is
one of the Interesting pioneers of
Umatilla county She has a splendid
memory and is very intelligent. She
tells about crossing the plains in 1S52,
and the usual experiences of those
trips of hardships in early days. She
is also familiar with the early history
of Umatilla county. She says that
'I.lsha Smith was the first mail car
rier from Pendleton to Pilot Rock and
that a man by the name of Parson
was the first person to carry the ex
press from Pendleton to Granite. He
was a pony expressman for the Wells
Fargo Company and often carried the
express on foot, at one time carrying
$17,000 In cash In this way.
The first sawmill established in
Umatilla county was built by her hus
band, Daniel Byrd, on East Birch
creek. She gives many other remlnls
censes of those days full of inteiest.
Success for Everybody.
The case of Jacob Born Illustrates,
not only the fact that this country
offers opportunities for everybody un
excelled, but that every Inch of Its
lands is a sure winner, and that
the lines of good citizenship and the
man of industry and economy who
comes to this country with the In
tention of devoting his time along
the lines of good citizenship and the
improvement of himself and a due re
gard to the rights of others Is sine to
win.
What Industry Did.
He settled In Camas Prairie several
years ago with barely enough money
to get to the place. He bought a few-
cows on credit and began making
butter and selling It. Soon he had
a few dollars ahead and bought a
tract of land on credit, paying a small
amount down. He managed to meet
his payments and then bought more
land. He has kept making butter and
buying land until now he owns 2080
acres, 1720 of which are In one body,
and he does not owe a dollar In the
world. He has a large band of cattle
and horses and a large bank account
also. This has all been acquired In
a few years by work and economy.
Good Stage Line.
The Pendleton-Umatilla line is one
of the best In the country. Since its
organization It has made a record for
promptness and reliability. Sturde
vant Bros, are the present owners
and Ed Sturdevant and J. M. Jarvis
are the drivers. The latter has driven
stages Tor 22 years. Although the
roads have at times been rough dur-
ing the winter since the first mall
was carried over this 'ou'e, the men
all down the line frnri the dajs of
Llsh Smith to Ed Sturdevant and J.
M. Jarvis, Including Jim Huston and
Wm. Folsora and scores of others,
who have served In that capacity,
have given a service of which the
citizens along the line have the right
to boast, " DE LANEY.
