Zell, Deceased 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.

Residents of the Agency Plains, a plateau comprising over 100 square miles of wheat land ad- - I . . r 1 1 1 i l advance its interests. J8nl lo, aiaaras, wm suorwy pre 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. Madras Pioneer. In Yamhill county corn husks are reported 18 inches thick, and the stalks all lean to the west. The frogs around Albina have begun searching the bottoms of mill ponds and mud holes to find out the deepest places. The geese, ducks and chickens in Bigelow are growing a coat of fur under their feathers and are rubbing borax on their feet to harden them up. All the one-eyed owls in and around Bend are leaving the coun try a month earlier than usual, and the bob tailed squirrels are laying in sweet potatoes, as well as nuts, for winter provisions.

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.
