We have received the following
letter from the tw-cretary of the
Oregon Development League and
Portland Chamber of Commerce
Club urging upon the different
commercial bodies of the atate the
importance of united effort in keep
ing the resourced of Oregon before
the people of the Eaat. We need
people to develop Crook county
and the way to get them ia to be
come an integral part of the in
atitutiona now organized for that
purpose. In order that you may
get an idea of the scope of the
work we print the subjoined letter:
Portland, Ore., Dec. 11, 1906.
Editor Crook County Journal:
Fifty dollara per week in postage
given come idea of the enormous
joint correspondence of the Oregon
Development League and Portland
Commercial Club.
The preoent interest in Oregon
pasaes all precedents and the in
quiry exceeds by at least one hun
dred per cent that of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition period.
The above refers only to the cor
respondence conducted by Tom
Richardson, and for several weeks
past each and every one of the
sixty-two commercial bodies
throughout Oregon which compose
the Oregon Development League
have been furnished with the
names and addresses of enquirers
sufficient to keep a well equipped
office busy in disseminating in
formation about the different por
tions of the state.
These enquiries are chiefly con
fined to four languages, and while
those uing English in their cor
respondence predominate, there are
many Germans, Swedes and Poles
writing for information, and. all
will be supplied.
The Oregon Development League
has been doing some very ex
tensive advertising throughout the
Dakotas, Minnesota, Michigan,
Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas,
Nebraska, Missouri, Indian Terri
tory, Oklahoma, Indiana and Ohio.
Naturally, the range of enquiries
covers almost every part of the
United States, but the great ma
jority of them are coming from
what is known as the "Middle
West," that region which includes
the Mississippi Valley and em
braces all the territory between
the Rockies and the Allegheny
Mountains.
Every subject is touched upon
in these communications, but those
relative to dairying seem to be in
the majority, and fortunately for
Western Oregon especially, it
ie0)i to be generally understood
that in this particular section the
dairyman has green pasture the
year around.
Cost of living expenses ia asked
in many letters, climatic conditions
form the chief note of others.
There are those who want to en
gage in bee-keeping, others who
wish to raise poultry. Angora
gnat, cattle and sheep all receive
their share of attention. Fruit
growing is, of course, a subject of
special prominence in many let
ten, but remarkable as it may ap
pear, while a majority of the let
ters come from wheat growing dis
tricts, very few, if any of the writ
ers, ask regarding this important
cereal.
The Oregon Devel o p m e n t
League, through its central office
at Portland, has placed in the
hands of the sixty-two organiza
tions forming its membership, an
opportunity to get directly in
touch with people already enough
interested in Oregon to have writ
ten letters asking about "The
Beaver State," and this oppor
tunity should be improved by each
and every community, for when a
farmer's interest in any portion of
the country is sufficient induce
ment for him to write a letter it
shows he is pretty much in earn
est. He should not be allowed to
forget Oregon and its special ad
vantages until he becomes a resi
dent of this state.
It is during the winter months
that the farmers of tbe entire Mis
sissippi Valley, and especially the
section represented in the states
mentioned above, do their greatest
amount of reading, and they ought
to be given a chance to learn all
about this state. The foundation
of an active campaign by any com
mercial body is first of all to de
termine who shall be written to for
best results. This question is
answered amply by the lists furn
ished by the Oregon Development
League. Never was so splendid
and economical an opportunity
presented before for every com.
munity to
taken the trouble to investigate
has found tbat all the toad-tool.
on the old 'alien timber in Crook
county have wrinkles in them.
The last time this happened it ia
remembered that the weather that
winter froie the handles off the
plows.
Rabbits are sitting around Lone
Rock with a humped-up look to
them, and field mice have wrinklee
in their tails. If this meant any
thing it means 20 degrees below
zero from December to May.
Town cows are hunting around
for pieces of flannel to wrap up
their tails, and hogs are rooting
their way into the middle of the
straw stacks in Umatilla county,
which is a never failing sign that
the highways will be blocked with
snow for weeks at a time. Moro

pare ana circulate ior signatures a
petition to the Oregon Legislature
asking for an appropriation for the
purpose ot drilling deep wells for
water on the plains. The amount
of the appropriation suggested is
$S000. The farmers point out
tbat if they knew bevond question
at what depth water could be
found individual wells could be
drilled by the farmers who could
go at the woik with the assurance
that their property would easily
be increased in value more than
the cost of drilling the well, but at
the present time few, if any of
them, are prepared to go to the
necessary expense in experimental
work. Furthermore, they say
that to solve the water problem of
the Agency Plains would in time
prove a good investment to the
state, as the increased taxes from
that region would more than re
pay the amout of the appropri
ation into the state treasury.

Capitalization 500,000 Shares.
Treasury Stock 100,000, Par Value Non Assessable.
Subscription Price $1.00 per Share.
Paying from the grass roots down.
The property consists of 33 claims in the South
eastern part of Crook county, on the head waters of
the Oehoco river. There is an abundance of water
for power purposes and some of the best timber in the
county is located on these claims. The economic con
ditions for mining could not be better.
The mines are now on a payiny basis, but with
additional machinery they can be made a big dividend
payer as the output can be doubled with very little
additional cost of labor. In order to install this ma
chinery the management has decided to issue 10,000
shares of Treasury Stock. This stock will in all
probabilities be the last offered for sale. It will be
sold at $1.00 per share. There is no deviating from
this price. That the stock will increase in value is a
certainty. You can find no better place to invest
your money. If you desire to get in on this you will
have to do so at once, as this stock was put on the
market in order to give the residents of the county a
chance to realize something from an investment in
one of their own properties.
This is not a speculation at all but a sound business
investment based upon ascertained facts. The mine
has been developed beyond the experimental stage.
About the best recommendation we can give these
mines is that the men employed by the company are
investing their savings in the purchase of this stock.
Also such men as Clark, Daly, Fair, Haggin, and a
host of others have made their money from mines and
the development of them.
