The new visitor to California in
variably writes home the wonder
ful tale of orange trees on which
may be seen the blossoms, green
fruit and ripe fruit, all at the same
time. Tbe Deschutes Canyon can
duplicate the wonder almost any
October "day with its apple trees.
Along the Deschutes and Crook
ed River canyons ara numerous
small flats of rich sedianent, and eo
hemmed in by towering walls and
high hills that the sun's heat dur
ing the day is stored op for the
cooler nights that invariably pre
vail in that locality. Situated at
an altitude from 1000 to 2C00 feet
below the surrounding country, the
temperature is uniformly 10 to 15
degrees warmer. In addition to
apples, peaches, cherries, pears and
the small fruits are grown success
fully. ..
There are but a few of these flats
now given over to the groaing of
fruit. DocauHe of the newness of
tbe country and the long absence
of railway transportation not many
commercial orchards have been set
out in Central Oregon.
One orchard tract, known as Cove
Orchard, however, is famed
throughout Central Oregon. It is
situated in Crooked Hiver Canyon
near the confluence of the Crooked
and Deschutes Rivers. This or
chard, 1000 feet below the sur
rounding country, markets its pro
ducts principally in Madras, 12
miles away, and in Prineviile, 35
miles distant.
The orchard was not planted
with regard to scientific methods.
The trees were too close together
and no one knew exactly what
var etiea there were. William Boeg
li, the owner, set to work, however,
thinned out the weaker trees, class-
ified the fruit, put the orchard on a
paying bans and in four years has
cleared otl tbe indebtedness lor tbe
purchase price. There are three 40
acre tracts at The Cove, but only
13 acres are set out to orchard.
There are grown apples, prar?,
peaches, cherries, plums, prunes and
other fruits. On other tracts straw
berries, raspberries, tomatoes, mel
ons and other products are success
ful. A few miles farther north in the
Deschutes .Canyon and near the
mouth of Trout Creek is the Ed
Campbell Ranch and orchard and
of this place it is told that in Octo
ber the apple trees may be seen
bearing blossoms, green fruit and

l
adras is no mythYou can find Madras on your map
And while we cannot truthfully draw alluring pictures of skyscrapers, wonderful factories,
electric lines, orchards or tropical flower gardens, we absolutely know that it is FACT not
FICTION that TWO RAILROADS will be within the limits of Madras in a FEW MONTHS
NOT YEARS.
We know that buildings of all kinds are being constructed as fast as material can be hauled
. in and labor secured. "
We do not claim that Madras will supercede Portland, but we do know, and you know that it
is bound to become an important shipping and business center, and if you will stop to consider
WHERE, in this ABOUT-TO-BE-DEVELOPED CENTRAL OREGON is there such an
ASSURED OPENING FOR SAFE AND SOUND INVESTMENT.
Madras is an assured and rapidly growing town, one that you can find WITHOUT A
SEARCH WARRANT. Look over its surrounding country, consider well its resources and
then compare its prospects with the ENTIRELY MYTHICAL and ABSURDLY FABU
LOUS CITIES that are being advertised as having existence, and you will at once compre
hend the difference between INVESTMENT and SPECULATION
