Dr. Withycombe
Pleased With Fair
Makes Prediction Of Great Future
in Livestock and Agriculture
"What do I think of your county
and your livestock exhibit at the
Crook county fair?" reiteratively
inquired Pr. James Withycombe,
director of the Oregon experiment
station at Corvalli, in rt-ply
to a like question put to him by a
reporter. "Why, they're both all
right, and I want to say right here
that your fair management has
laid the foundation of what some
day will be the very best, or one of
the best, fairs in Oregon east of the
mountains. The fair reflects great
credit alike upon its managers
your city and county."
Dr. Withycombe came here to
judge the livestock, and spent the
most of three days at the fair
This was his third visit to Crook
county.
"What you have," continued the
doctor, "is very good; especially
are you strong in horses; of course,
draught horses, showing that your
farmers are taking firm hold of the
matter of developing a large and
profitable horse industry.
"There were only a email nutn
ber of cattle shown, due largely
I think to the abnormal season
and consequent inability to fatten
the beeves properlv. But the
herd shown by Mr. Biggs was cer
tainly excellent, some ot the ani
mals being of great individual
merit. These were Shorthorns
and there were a few good Jerseys
"There were some good hogs;
Poland Chinas, exhibited by
Messrs. Breese, Windom and
Springer. The sheep shown by
the Baldwin Sheep & Land Com
pany, though a small noes, were
very fine.
"One point about the lair, or
fair grounds, is that they are very
conveniently located in relation to
Tiineville, more so than is usually
the case elsewhere.
"Now, a few predictions. This
i3 my third trip into Crook coun
ty, and each time I have noted
perceptible progress in develop
ment of the ntock industry and
agricultural industry of this sec
tion. I also find the systems of
farming changing from the range
to more of a real farm condition;
that while Crook county has been
noted for its great ranges and the
number of its livestock, it will
become more noted for the great
number of its small prosperous
farms. The immense area of
agricultural land in this county is
pre-eminently suited for the live
stock industry. There is no rea
son why the finest draught horses
and the very best beef cattle, as
well as sheep and hogs, should net
be produced here in great num
bers. "The county's greatest need is
transportation. The small farmer
must be furnished transportation
to enable him to market his diver
sified products.
"In the fair pavilion, the fruit
display rather surprised me, the
apples especially. Potatoes, also,
were excellent and seemingly of
very fine quality. Another sur
prise was your com display, which
shows conclusively the hospitality
of the climate of Crook county.
The exhibits at the pavilion have
convinced me that Crook county
has a much wider range of produc
tion than has generally been con
ceded to it.
"I am more than pleased to see
the substantial improvement made
in Prineville since I was last here.
The stone bank, stone hotel and
stone court house are three struc
tures of which any town, even a
city of 50,000 might well be proud.
Not only are they substantial
buildings, but it should be ex
tremely gratifying to know that
you have a native stone so well
adapted to building operations.
Another feature of your city is
your fine high school building, an
educational item all too frequently
neglected in many places.
"Prineville is a coming city, and
Crook county ia one of the very
best counties in Oregon."

$250 a Day From Prineville.
It was developed in a speech by
the third assistant postmaster gen
eral at the recent postmasters'
convention in Portland, soys a
man now here who attended, that
Sears, Roebuck & Co. receive daily
through the Chicago postotlice
500,000 pieces of mail, principally
letters. Twenty clerks alone are
employed in the Chicago postoflice
writing statements in the money
order department, something like
1200,000 daily being received by
this one mail order firm.
Just for comparison, and to size
up the mail order business in towns
like Prineville and there are thou
sands of them in the United States
itmavbesaid that about (250
in money orders ia sent daily from
Prineville to all sources, requiring
the time of one clerk two hours,
while fully one-half of all mail
sent from Prineville to Chicago
goes to the three mail order houses
of Sears, Roebuck & Co., John M.
Smvthe and Montgomery Ward &
Co.
Few people realize the extent to
which the local merchant every
where loses trade to the Chicago
houses that retail by mail; but
then, Uncle Sam is willing, even if
the people who pay the taxe3 are
buncoed out of their right.
