any of the public land laws. Tbe
forests of Central Oregon are practi
cally intact, and await only the ad
vent of transportation facilities to
develop the western and southwest
ern portions of this country Into
one of . the greatest lumbering
regions of the West. It will take a
train hauling fifty cars a day, and
each, car carrying 10,000 feet ol
lumber, fifty years to market the
merchantable pine timber in this
county. This timber makes the
finest finishing lumber known, and
demand for it far exceeds the sup-
r'y-
These timber lands cruise from
four to fifteen million feet to tbe
section, and are worth from $10 to
t'10 per acre. i
The Deschutes river, withoul
doubt, has the' largest amount of
unapplied water power of any
river in the wotld. Flowing ap
proximately 4,000 cubic feet of
water per second, and having a fall
of 4,000 feet perpendicular in a dis
tance of about 120 miles, the power
capable of being developed is al
most incalculable. A perpendicu
lar fall occurs every few miles
throughout the whole length of the
river from Lava postoflice to the
Columbia river, liulween the
numerous falls the river is very
swill, having an average descent of
SO feet to the mile. It rises near
the foot of the eaastern slope of the
Cascade Mountains and is fed by
eternal snows. A peculiarity ol
the stream is, that it seldom, if
ever, rises or falls more than 14
inches. It abounds with trout, the
gamost fresh water fish, and hun
dred of thousands are caught
from its waters annually. It is
only a question of a few years
when this vii gin power will be
harnessed, und furnish electric
power for the Northwest. !
The Deschutes river flows in a
rocky canyon and on each side are
the bih rolling sage brush plains
now being reclaimed by private
irrigation enterprises.
Climate.
- The climate of Crook county is
tho mojt healthful to be found in
the world. Free from malaria,
fevers; plagues, epidemics, locusts,
potato bugs and fleas. The aver
age snow fall in the Winter is 4 to
12 inches. Average days of sun
shine per annum, 300.' Tbe tem
perature in winter rarely goes below
tero, and many seasons to only 8
to 12 above. The Summer heat
never reaches over 08, and the
average is 85 to 87. Elevation
above sea level, 2,500 to 4,000 feet.
Tbe pure mountain water and high,
exhileraling atmosphere all con
duce to health and longevity.
Lands and Products.
The vacant government lands in
Central Oregon are rolling hills
and high uplands, covered with
sagebrush and juniper trees; these
trees are a species of cedar, and
make excellent fence posts and fire
wood. It is essentially a "dry
farming" proposition, v Water may
be found on these uplands at depth
ranging from 25" to 150 feet, in
most places. The soil is a light
volcanic ash and is wonderfully
fertile when water is applied.
Grain crops may be grown on
these lands and will make an aver
age crop unless it should be an ex
ceptionally dry season. The valleys
are all settled and produce every
thing that is generally raised ins
temperate climato. Potatoes grow
to perfection in the loose sandy
soil. All grains, grasses and hardy
vegetables do well.' Grazing lands
sell at (7.50 to $12.00 per acre.
Improved grain lands $15.00 to
fCO.OO per acre. Nearly all the im
proved grain lands have water for
domestio use.
Fruit
. Fruit growing is only in its in
fancy. Orchards -. have been
planted in only a few places. Two
bearing orchards in this vicinity
marketed, in 1909, 6,000 boxes of
apples and 2,500 boxes of prunes.
Peaches, pears and other fruits do
well in favored sections. All small
fruits do well. "
y Transportation.
The so-called Harriman and Hill
lines of railroad are now building
up the Deschutes river from the
Columbia and have 10,000 men
employed. These roads will le in
Crook county within the ear.
The Harriman line is buildint
north from Klamath Falls and at
least two roads are planning t
cross the Slate from East to West.
At present, take the O. It. & N.,
and get off at Biggs, then come
south on the Columbia Southern
to Sbaniko,' then take stage or
automobile to Prineville and you
will be in the Heart of Oregon,
where hack and auto service will
take you to any point desired.
Prineville
