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.

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.
