Everything in General Merchandise REDMOND, OREGON 11.50 PER YEAR COUNTY OF NEW DESCHUTES O Some Pertinent Facts Presented To the Voters o f Oregon Showing Why the County o f Deschutes Should Be Created Out o f the Northwestern Portion o f Crook County There is one County Division proposition before the voters of this State at the November elec­ tion that should claim the ser­ ious attention of everyone. The people of the Northwest corner of Crook County, living in an area of more than 2200 square miles, and with a population of more than 3000 inhabitants, hav­ ing complied with all the laws of the state relative to the creation of a new county, ask that a new county be created, named Des­ chutes. Crook County is one of the largest counties in the state, and the people of the preposed New County, feeling that they are qualified to economically ad­ minister their own governmental affaire, have, after carefully con­ sidering all parts of the County, proposed the only JUST and FAIR DIVISION in sight at the present time. This leaves three- fourths of the County entire, from which two new counties may be created in the future, and still leave Crook County as large as either. The name DESCHUTES is the appropriate one, the proposed County being watered its entire length by the river of that name. It is better to divide the coun­ ties that are too large. There is a right and a wrong way of do­ ing this, but we feel that the promoters of the proposed DES­ CHUTES COUNTY followed the very best plans for effecting their organization in the right way. The proposed COUNTY of DESCHUTES has both of the new railways into CENTRAL OREGON, In its entirety, so that all such interests will be kept together. When the COUNTY is organ­ ized. the proper development can be fostered and encouraged. The country within the bound­ aries of DESCHUTES COUNTY is capable of presenting to the STATE such development as will be an honor to it. The develop­ ment of industries along our magnificent river, with its world famed water power, its great and growing segregations of ir­ rigated lands and its broad stretches of .valuable timber, will be the opening wedge of the whole heart of OREGON. The time has come to get out of the rut of days gone by when the Cattle Kings and Sheep Czars absolutely shut out the coming farmers, all because they wanted the whole range for their own private use. In these days the cry is MORE FARMS and better tilled. The same cry ech­ oes smaller counties and more closely knit together. DESCHUTES C O U N T Y should carry in the STATE by the largest vote of any county- proposition, on account of the correct and equitable proposed division. Let every man voting for his own COUNTY DIVISION vote "YES” on number 350. Let every honest man in the STATE who wants to see ORE­ GON grow and take her place in the front rank, vote "YES” on number 350. When you go to the booth on November 8th, apply the GOL­ DEN RULE, and vote “ YES” on number 350, to create DES­ CHUTES COUNTY.

RAIL LAYING EUGENE MEN PROGRESSING INVEST HERE Complete Road to Buy Business Prop- Crooked • River erty and Begin in 70 Days Building OREGON TRUNK IS SAY REDMOND HAS RUSHING THE WORK BRIGHT PROSPECTS General Manager Kyle Tells Building 25x50 on Sixth St. of Work on New Cen- Will Be Occupied by Postoffice trai Oregon Line General Manager Kyle, of the Oregon Trunk says rail-laying on the new Central Oregon line is progressing at a rateof one and a half miles daily, and the force will be increas«*d soon, so as to make the record at least two miles. Progress in track-plac­ ing between Crooked River and Bend. 25 miles, will be delayed pending completion of the Crook­ ed River bridge, which is the most difficult piece of bridge work that will be encountered in the Central Oregon railroad work Mr. Kyle expects that the track will be laid to Crooked River within the next 70 days. At Crooked River the track will be suspended 350 feet above the stream below, and the span is 340 feet in length. This chasm in the plateau will become one of the sights of Central Oregon re­ gion, when it becomes known that the highest bridge of im­ portance in the Northwest is found there. Nothing is given out now as to the probable date of completing the bridge, but work on it will be rushed, as it is the desire of the Oregon Trunk to get to the heart of Oregon as quickly as conditions will permit. Confirming earlier statements, Mr. Kyle says that no contracts are in existence for construction of this line between Bend and Klamath Lake. After the pre­ liminaries were completed for beginning this work, the money stringency in the east developed, and there has not been enough settling influence yet to warrant the Hill interests in proceeding with assurance that funds would be easily within reach. James Campbell, O. A. Camp­ bell and John F. Allen all of Eu­ gene. last week bought the 25 foot lot on Sixth street next to Woodruff's store for $1500 cash, and have begun the erection of a 25x50 building, which will be oc­ cupied by the postoffice as soon as completed. Work on the building will be rushed and it is expected to be completed soon after the first of the month. The Messrs. Campbell and Al­ len are pleased with the future outlook of Redmond and will un­ doubtedly make more invest­ ments here before spring. A short time ago they bought the lot and building on South Sixth street now occupied by George B. Brown, and are looking for other good business investments.
