SPECIAL PRECINCT
EXHIBITS AT FAIR
Irrigated and Dry Farm
Products of All Kinds
GRAINS, GRASSES, VEGETABLES
Prove that Soil and Climate Are
Adapted to Endless Varieties
of Valuable Crops.
Bo great was the demand for space
last week that an extended notice ol
two woithy exhibits was crowded ont.
We take pleasure this week in correct
ing the omission.
The Irrigated ranch exhibit of W. H.
Cadle on Mill Creek, made an excellent
showing. It consisted of seventy-seven
products and included grasses, grains,
fruits snd vegetables. lie had oats
eight feet high, and one variety the
"Shadeland Challenge" that yielded
110 bushels to the acre. In all seven
varieties of oats were shown, some of
which matured in 115 days.
Ten varieties of wheat were in the ex
hibit including, of course, the king of
sll wheats, the celebrated Blue Stem.
The much tooted "Alaska" or "Drnmaa"
wheat, with heads half as wide as ones
hand was shown. It matured in 120
days. He hsd wheat that matured in
115 days.
The grass snd clover class wss com
plete with specimens too 'numerous to
mention specifically. Among them
were timothy eight feet high, alfalfa
four feet and some specimens showing
all stages of development 7rom the
bloom to the full seeded plant.
Red top as high as yonr bead and rye
grass eleven feet tall were there. Vetch
showing a splendid growth, was among
the notable features of Mr. Cadle's ex
hibit This plant should take its place
among the best forage crops in Crook
county.
Mr. Cadle's exhibit also Included the
Mill Creek precinct exhibit, which con
tained ninety-seven products. There
were grains from the ranches of E. 8.
Dobbs and Charles Lister. Mr. Dobbs
had small, spring-sown Chili wheat
that ran 6G1' bushels to the acre and
barley and oats that could not be beaten
in any man's country. Mr. Lister bad
some fine winter wheat. Mrs. Lawson
had rye that made forty bushels to the
sere. An immense yield. She had also
the finest squashes on exhibit. Mill
Creek took first prize on precinct ex
hibitsa $20 gold piece.
Tillman Reuter of Madras, who is
making a success of dry farming - on his
ranch near Madras, and w ho had one of
the most creditable exhibits at the
good seed, good plowing and pulverizing
immediately after the plow in order to
eonwerve the moirture. The earlier in
the spring or winter the plowing can be
done the better it is.
In my experience here the toil will
produce with the least rain more crops
than any soil I have ever handled. 1 do
not mean br this that seeding done in
the careless wsy in which msny of the
farmers do will bring the mulls men
tioned above, but good work at the
proper time will be well repaid.
This year's fair showed that the
people of Crook county can compete
very favorably with other parts of the
state, and it will only take the goodwill
and energy of the farmers of this section
to bring ont better results next year
than were shown this fall.

The first prize for the dry farming ex
hibit was again awarded to me, also the
second' special prize for precinct ex
hibit.
My experience in farming in Crook
county has brought forth gSod results
The grain, potatoes and garden vege
tables grown by me near Juniper spring
on my ranch have twice been prize win
ners. Last year I was given 14 different
prizes. This year 15 for my own pro
ducts and two for my neighbors,
think this a very creditable showing.
It makes clear that with proper tillage,
dry farming in Crook county can be
County Court Has
Light Grist of Work
The regular November terra of
commissioner's conrt la In sesslorj
this week, Judge Ellis and Com
missioner Bayley taking up the work
Wednesday. There 1b & light grtat of
work before the board this term, and
a light bunch of bills to be audited as
well. Most of the matters under
consideration are about county
roads.
Frank Smith, who Is the general
road man In the employ of the
county has been directed to make a
circuit of the countr roads from
O'Neil to Prineville, thence on the
Prineville-Shaniko road to thecounty
line at Shultz's on Trout Creek, and
then from Helsler to Madras and
back to O'Neil, throwing out all
loose rock, removing the stumps and
filling up the ruts in the road, and
Inspecting and repairing all the
bridges.
A new grade Is lx-Ing made on the
county road on the west side of
Trail Crossing, by a force of men
under direction ,of Commissioner
Bayley. The old grade zlg-zagged
out of the canyon at about third
pitch. The new grade will swing
down stream from the end of the
bridge and reach the top of the hill
on a 5 per cent grade. The greatly
increased traffic on tuts route lias
made a better crossing imperative,
The bridge there will also be put in
first-class condition.
HILLIMAN; NEW
RAILROAD TOWN
Now Being Surveyed
Near Trail Crossing
LOGICAL LOCATION FOR CITY
F. P. Cooper Says He Will Have
Survey for Railroad Line to
Prineville Made Soon.
F, P. Cooper, T. W. Taylor and
Judge E. V. Llttlencld, who have In
corporated for the purpose of build
ing a town near Trail Crossing, with
a capital stock of $100,000, are mob
lug the survey on the platting of a
4s0 tract Into town lots and hope to
have the plats filed with the county
clerk here within a week.
The new town will be christened
Illlliman, and Is located on the final
survey of the Oregon Trunk about
three miles south of the great bridge
at Trail Crossing on Crooked river.
Topography of the country make
this the only feasible crossing from
the highlands of the Haystack
country to the table lands of the D.
I. 4fc P. segregations, and while the
Hill road Is practically already built
through the town, the permanent
surveys of the Harrlman line run
through the site also, thus the blend
ing of the names Into what will no
doubt be a typical Oregon boom
town. r
President Cooper of the townslte
company, says the surveying work
waa delayed a little by not getting
the Btakes, but work will be rushed
with all speed and contractors will
soon begin the construction of build
ings for the accommodation of the
townslte people.
F. T. Cooper, who Is president of
the townslte company was in Frine
vllle Wednesday. He Is running
over with enthusiasm about the
project and says they expect to have
a town of 2000 population within a
year and a half. '
While Mr. Cooper did not make the
direct statement, everything In con.
nection with the promotion of this .
new town marks It as being the
town that Is to be backed and favor
ed by the Oregon Trunk line or Hill
railroad. But putting this aside,
the location of the townslte Is a fine
one, as It will be the natural rail
road point for all of the Squaw
Creek and Sisters country as well ns
for all of the Crooked river valley
and territory adjacent to Prineville.
Mr. Cooper says that one of the
first things that will be done as soon
as the townslte Is laid out will be
the preliminary surveying of a
branch railroad up Crooked river to
Prineville.
The Water Users Association of
Crook county was organized at Red
mond last Saturday. The purpose
of the organization Is to equalize the
use of water. At first there was an
abundant supply for all and many
of the landholders well up on the
canals used more than they were en
titled to, allowing the surplus to
waste. The constantly Increasing
number of new settlers has necessi
tated an organization to control
the supply.
Water Users Association.
Scores of New Settlers.
During the past two months 20,000
acres of land located In the southern
part of Crook county under the S'.'O-
acre homestead act. Many of tho
homesteaders are already living on
their places and others are buying
lumber and preparing to get onto
the land soon. Real estate dealers
who have been busiest In the lo
cation of the tracts, using automo
biles for rapid transportation and
lieutenants to assist In the work,
have made as high as 2000 each dur
ing the time the new homestead law
has been In force. Some of the
parties located will never live on the
land for it takes a sturdy pioneer
and a strong determination to go
into the wilderness as did our fore
fathers and hew out a home, while
many of them will develop wheal)
farms that will equal If not surpass
any of which Sherman county can
boat.
