REPORTS FROM THE REDMOND
District Predict Double
Average Yield This
Season.
the
Crook County will hsve a good
average fruit crop this year. II.
Gibson, who has an orchard nine
miles north of Prineville, eaya that
his crop will be exceptionally good
so far as he can tll now, and that
the frosts have bothered him but
little this year.
In the Powell Butte country, D.
O. Vandervert's orchard and T. II.
Lafollette's will both produce ex
cellent crop?, and many of the
newer orchards in that part of the
county will bear good crops.
Ochoco, Mill creek and Crooked
river all report an average crop,
while many of the orchards in and
about Prinevilie will bear more
fruit than usual.
m. Boegli of the Cove orchard
reports a good crop of almost every
variety of fruit which the Cove
produces.
The Redmond country will
have double the amount of good
fruit that it has ever raided before
and will demonstrate to the world
that other places than Hood River
are on the fruit growing map.
All berry producers report an
abundance of all kinds of berries,
garden stuff, etc.

school that had prepared them to
face the problems of life.
Friday evening came the real
commencement exerciees which
were opened by the invocation by
Rev. Mr. Bailey. Miss Celia
Nelms then favored the. audience
with a vocal solo artistically
rendered. This was followed by
the commencement address by
Professor Sweetfer of the biological
department of the University I
Oregon, who gave an excellent
address, basing his remarks on
Ilolmea' "Chambered Nautilus,"
which is an inspiration in itself,
and "Hubbard's Message to
(Iracia," which is one of the strong
est productions of the twentieth
century and one with which every
voung man and woman would do
well to familarize himself. Frol-
essor Sweeteer brought out both the
beautiful and the practical jn these
productions and impressed all who
heard him with his own vitality
enthusiasm. The high school feels
especially fortunate in having been
able to secure Professor Sweetser
and will always be glad to welcome
him to ' the county. Hon.
N. Williamson, in the absence
of Judge Ellis, then present
ed the diplomas to the class, con
sisting of Miss Emerien Young,
Miss Ethel Moore, Miss Agnes
Elliott, Miss Louise Summers,
Clark Morse and Wilford Balknap,
and in a few well chosen words
suggested what these documents
stood for and what the town,
county, state and United States
expected of those receiving them.
The program closed with a vocal
solo by Mifes Conway, whose appear
ance in public is always hailed
with delight by lovers of music
and who in this selection mare
than satisfied her most ardent ad
mirers. After the program, the
class, the faculty, the alumni and
a few invited guests, repaired to
the High School Annex, where the
alumni banquet was served. The
room was beautifully decorated in
evergreens and the class colors,
while the same color scheme was
carried out in the candle shades
and in the menu cards, the whole
making an nnusally artistic and
beautiful effect. After the wants
of all had been satisfied, Mr.
Hockenberry acted as toastmaster
and the following responded:

What Our Claw Has Done, Mies
to Prineville. ' It aloo would be
feasible, it is believed, to extend
such a road on up Crooked river to
Fife, where 'the divide between
Crook and Harney valley is found,
and thence on down eastward to
the Malheur river. Both the Ore
gon Trunk and Deschutes Railroad
surveys, however, have been chosen
to the southward, the former ex
tending from Odell through Silver
Lake Valley and the Christmas
Lake Country to the. Malheur
river, the latter from Bend through
the dry bed of a river across the
high plains into Malheur Gap.
Prineville, apparently, will get its
transportation via a branch line.
Unlike Madras, Redmond and
Bend, Prinevillo in transfers of
town property is not yet showing
indications of a railroad boom. In
some of the other towns, business
property, although the places are
yet too small for the permanent
business centers to be absolutely
established, have doubled and in
some instances trebled in the value
at which they were held or sold
last fall. In one year some of this
property has gone up nearly 100
per cent, nhin u few weeks two
lots on the main street of Redmond
that were purchased one year SfcO
for 1150 each were sold for $1000
each.
The growth of the town is dup
licated in the country districts.
Throughout the irrigation projects
in particular new houses are going
up in large numbers. This year
the time limit for the settlement of
many acres in the project will ex
pi re for those who purchased on
the original estimate of $14.75 an
acre. , It is said that more than
300 claims must be entered on this
Summer.
Lumber for building purposes is
hard to obtain and conditions in
this respect were made worse a
few weeks ago by the burning of
the Drake mill at Bend. Even
when lumber is obtainable difficul
ties are encountered in eettine
teams for hauling.
This general activity and growth
extends over an area of approxi
mately 50 miles square with Mad
ras on the north, Bend on the
south and taking both sides of the
Deschutes river on the east and
west. Througout this district a
large variety of contitions are en
countered. Madras is the center
of what will be the wheat country
of the Deschutes valley and, for
the present at least, will be the
largest grain shipping point. It
will draw from the Agency Plains
on the north and west and from
the Lamonta, Haycreek, Hay
Stack and Opal Prairie districts on
the east and south. Its territory
will extend from Troutcreek on the
north to Crooked river on the
south.
The Big Agency Plains, lying
north of Madras, comprises a ter
ritory abont 15 miles long and 8
miles wide. Little Agency Plains
to the southwest are 12 miles long
and three miles wide. It is esti
mated that the district embraced
in the two plains will produce 2,
000,000 bushels of wheat annually,
which will be shipped from Madras.
Between Haycreek and Trout creek
and located east of Madras, is what
is known as the Blizzard Ridge
country, as yet almost uncultivated.
This tract of 75,000 acres will prob
ably show greater yields per acre
of wheat than the Agency Plains,
as it has a greater rainfall. The
Lamonta, Culver, Hay Stack and
-Opal Prairie district stretching
away to the east and south are
well settled and are producing
grain, hardy vegetables and alfalfa.
After crossing Crooked river the
railroad soon enters the irrigated
district, where alfalfa, root crops
and dairying will prevail with
good prospects for the crowing of
the hardier varieties of fruit. This
country extends southward 25
miles to the pine timber belt, on
the northern edge of which Bend
is located and eastward to where
the plains break away into the
Crooked river valley at Prineville.
On the southeastern edge of the
segregation is the Powell Butte
country of 13,000. acres, where
potatoes weighing four pouncU ten
ounces were produced and exhibited
at the Billings Dry Farm Congress.
Throughout the irrigated section
potatoes attain such, size that a
starch factory is proposed which
will utilize the largest ones, reserv
ing those of medium and uniform
size for the markets with the idea
of gaining a name for Deschutes
valley potatoes. Potatoes with no
care whatever after the plowing in
the Spring, have produced
buvhcls to the acre to the Fowell
Butte country. In one exceptional
instance one acre yielded 390
bushels on irrigated land.
Oata js the primary crop on new
land and the first year yield is up
to 35 bushels to the acre in the
irr gated district. Thereafter when
the oats are continued as the crop
the yield runs up to double the
production of the first year.
Alfalfa is usually sown following
the first oat crop and on the newer
land two and three crop are cut
each season with pro?iects of better
yields as the conditions of the
country are mastered.
So tar the more or lot-s boom in
property prices has been continued
to the towns. Farm values around
Madras and Redmond have not
changed materially from those
given in the New Year's Oregonian.
Resales in the irrigated district
rnn from $40 to $75 nn acre.
Lands on the Agency Plains are
held at from $15 to $30 an acre.

PREVENTION
THE BEST SAFEGUARD
If for any cause the hone or other
domestic animal exhibits a lack of energy,
proper relish for food, or an appearance
of general debility, timely action should
be taken for the restoration of its health.
In the natural food of our domestic
animals Nature provides certain peculiar
medicinal herbs, leaves, barks and roots
which seem necessary for their health.
Pacific Stock Food in greatly condensed
form is intended to supply the essential
virtues of .those health-giving natural
remedies and is prepared expressly for
those animals deprived by man of their
natural food. It is an alterative tonic
which stimulates the various organs of
the body, promotes the secretions, tones
up the general system and restores the
disordered conditions to a normal slate.
It stimulate the appetite, improves the
digestion and assimilation of food, purities
the blood and insures a good, healthy
condition. Booklet free.
