Crook County..
TELLS HIS READERS
What H Saw Tie Editor
Bujs Some Good Property
While Here.
The members of the partj from
Wilbur who returned from a trip
throughout Crook county, Oregon,
last week, have been constantly in
terrogated as to their impressions
of that country. While no one
should form au idea that the coun
try is all thickly populated, and
that improved firms, with ripe
fruits hanging from trees growing
in every corner, can be bad for the
asking, the Wilbur party was
agreeably surprised all the way.
As an evidence of their miscon
ception of the country, when they
left Sbaniko, the railroad terminus,
they bought the biggest waterbag
to be found in the frontier town,
believing that they would need to
carry water enough to have a sup
for their horse at times. That
four-gallon bag never tasted
water on the whole trip. To be
sure, they traversed a road which,
until the irrigation ditches made
their appearance, waa dry for a
distance of 30 mi lee. There is a
scope of country lying south of the
new irrigation district thai is 40
miles wide, dry all the way.
While there is yet not a foot of
railroad in Crook county, which is
over 190 miles either way, the
whole country is rapidly settling
up. Indeed, a large portion ot the
county baa been settled by stock
farmers many years, and large sec
tions of the country bear as
prosperous an appearance, and
boast of as fine houses and barnes
as can be found anywhere in the
northwest. The value of unirri
gated wheat lands is advancing
rapidly, and in comparatively
new settlements are held at $10 to
$20 per acre, according to quality
and improvements. Fairly good
lands can be bought for less, but
are hard to find.
Crook county bears the proud
distinction of being absolutely free
from debt, with an actual cash
balance on hand, available for
public buildings amounting to $50-
000, and there is already a squab
ble on between Prineville, the old
county seat, and other towns, the
prospective county capitals of
future counties to be erected from
the old. Prineville wants to use
the money in building a new court
house, while the prospective coun
ty seats wish a share of the cash
on band.
The irrigable lands are little de
veloped as yet, the company hav
ing the reclamation work in hand,
choosing to wait until their first
contract was well filled before try
ing to attract settlers. However,
they are coming without advertis
ing, and the country is alreadv
settling up, though not with the
rush incident on the opening of
many other irrigation districts.
As to the quality and future value
of the lands a short interview from
Governor Chamberlain is here re
peated: '"Splendid irrigable land can be
bad in Crook county for $15, which
in five years will be worth $100 to
$150 an acre, and if I were a youug
man I certainly would take ad
vantage of this rare opportunity
and go there to make my fortune.'
"This is ah expression of the
confidence Governor Chamberlain
has in the irrigation projects along
the Deschutes river, which he vis
ited last month in company with
other members of the State Land
board. Governor Chamberlain
who returned recently with the
party, is delighted with the prog
ress that has been made; and is
highly enthuxiastic over the rapid
development of that section of the
state. He says that within a very
short time the great tracts of irri
gable lands along the Deschutes
river, in the vicinity of Bend, will
have been converted into a veri
table agricultural paradise.
"'We are particularly pleased
with the thorough and buHinesK
like manner of the Deschutes Irri
gation A Power Company in push
ing its work, and are eminently
satisfied with the way it has
handled the project. It is sparing
no expense upon the construction
of its system of irrigation works, is
making rapid progress, and is
complying with the rules laid down
by the State Land Board, so we
have no complaint to make what
ever.
"'The company has some irri
gated land for sale, but is making
no special effort to dispose of it.
The officials are directing all their
energies to the completion of the
project, which will irrigate more
than 100,000 acres, and when it is
done there will be plenty of time
in which to dispose of the land.
" 'The land is as rich and as
productive as can be found in al
most any place, and all persons
have an opportunity to profit.
The land is selling at about $15 an
acre, and it will cost from $5 to
$10 an acre more to have it clear
ed of the sage brush. But within
five years this will be worth from
$100 to $150 an acre. Those who
buy this land must pay $1 an acre
annually for the maintenance of
the dith. This will cause all of
the land to be farmed, as specu
lators could not afford to let this
land lie idle.'"
The governor and party were at
Bend at the time the Wilbur party
waa in that vicinity, and the Wil
bur party can testify to the en
thusiastic reception the people
were preparing for them. Fisher
men were scattered up and down
the Deschutes river, catching the
trout necessary to coaiply with an
announcement on their posters
that 2,000 trout would be served
to the assemblage gathered at Bend
on that occasion, and they got
tbem too. Baked trout were as
free as air, and everyone of some
600 people had a dinner of river
and brook trout to satisfy a gour
mand.
Lakin-SchJeuiener.
Bert W. Lakin, a young business
man of Bend, who is favorably
known in Crook county, was re
cently married at bpokane, W ash.
In speaking of the matter the Lit
tle Falls (Minn.) Transcript says:
"Bert W. Lakin and Miss Elean
or Schluesener were united in the
bonds of marriaee on Wednesdav
evening, June 27, at 8:30 o'clock
at bpokane, ashington. - The
wedding ceremony was performed
at the borne of Mrs. A. L. Kitter,
the bride's sister, in the far west
ern city. Mr. and Mrs. Lakin left
after the ceremony on a short wed
ding trip to Seattle and other coast
points, after which they will go to
Bend, Oregon where they will
make their home in the future.
"Mr and Mrs. Lakin are both
young people known to a wide ac
quaintance in Little Falls, and
with friendships here limited only
by their acquaintance. The bride
is a young lady who has spent
most of her life in this city, where
she has everywhere earned the
most sincere and genuine esteem
She has many charms of manner
and personality, united to a char
acter of firmness and decision,
which have never failed to trans
form acquaintances into the warm
est and most cordial friendshiu
when she so desired.
"Mr. Lakin is a bright, intelli
gent, brainy young business man,
who has obtained an excellent
start in life and whose future is a
very promising one in his chosen
vocation. He also has many
friends in Little Falls, and will be
the recipient of heartiest congratu
lations from them upon his pres
ent felicity. About the first of the
current year he went west to seek
a favorable locatio i, finding what
he wanted at Bend, Or., and is
now in business there and doing
well. Miss Scileusener went west
about two months ago, and has
since been visiting her sister, until
the day of her wedding.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lakin begin their
wedded life together with the beet
wishes of all their many Little
Falls friends, and it will be one of
singular happiness and success in
all things if the auguries of the
latter have any influence over the
event."
RAILROAD
BUILDING
Central and Southern
Oregon
THE STORM CENTER
Different Railroad Companies in
tie Held Paihing the
Work Along.
Central and southern Oregon
has suddenly become the storm
center of interest in railroad con
struction. The Oregon Trunk
Line is building with speed up the
Dexchute river to Madras, the
Harriman line from Natron to
Klamath county is nearly ready
for the grading gangs, the road
from northern California into Kla
math county is well under way,
the Oregon Short Line is project
ing a road rapidly from the Snake
river westward to meet the line
from Natron, the Medford & Crater
Lake railroad has been sold to
Michigan capitalists, who have
paid down an advance of $5,000
and are perfecting arrangements
for continuing construction of the
road to Prospect, and the Southern
Pacific is clearing right of way for
its road from Drain to Coos Bay.
According to Wallis Nash, repre
sentative of the Christian Feder
ation, it is practically certain also
that the Corvallis & Easter will be
extended from Idadnah eastward
through the state. Summing up
the situation respecting the Harri
man railtoad movements in central
Oregon, a member of the transpor
tation committee of the Portland
chamber of commerce said:
"The Southern Pacific company
has three engineering parties now
in the field between Natron and
Waldo Lake in southeastern Ore
gon running a permanent location
for a new line. The work will be
started as soon as the line is per
manently located and bids can be
secured on the work. A line has
also been run from in the vicinity
of Bend to connect with this line.
"While no instructions have
been given to build this line, the
committee believes that its build
ing will follow that the Natron
Klamath line. It is also reported
on very good authority that the
Oregon Short Line "has parties in
the field running a preliminary
line from Ontario to a connection
with the Bend-Natron-Klamath
line."

A Remarkable Surgical Operation.
C. A. McCartney of South Pasa
dena, whose heart and lung were
torn by a buck rake, was able to
walk on the Fourth of July, thinks
to the skill of Dr. Thompson of
Burbank, who only three years ago
graduated from Rush Medical col
lege at Chicago.
McCartney was riding a motor
cycle in the dark and collided with
a huge rake , sticking out from a
passing wagon. A prong penetrat
ed his body seven inches, tore the
lower lobe of his left lung, broke
his bronchial tube, pushed his
heart four inches out of position,
drove a six-inch section of his fifth
rib into his back and spilled so
much blood that two and a half
quarts of saline solution had to be
injected.
Though Dr. Thompson held the
man's heart in his hand for eight
fetondF to wash it, after 17 days
McCartney was able to get out of
ltd, though every one thought the
undertaker's wagon would call for
him long ago.
