demand for laborers for farm and
ranch work.: and carpenters an
painters are greatly needed.
The climate of Crook county
the most healthful to be found
the world. Free from malaria
fevers, plagues, epidemics, locusts
potato bugs and fleas. The aver
age snowfall' in the winter is 4
12 inches. Average rainfall 9
lb incnes. Average days of sun
shine per annum, 300. The
temperature in winter rarely goes
below zero, and many seasons
only s to in above, l be summer
heat never reaches over 98, and
the average is 85 to S7. Elevation
above sea level, 2,500 to 4,000 feet
The pure mountain water and
high, exhUerating atmosphere all
conduce to health and longevity

Crook county, in which Trine
ville is located, has long been
known as one of the great dietricts
of the west in the production of
sheep and wool. Adjacent
Prineville is one of the largesi
blooded-sheep ranches in the world
and the product cf this ranch is
of the finest grade of wool, grown
from flocks in' which are imported
French and Spanish prize winners,
The county has 150,000 head of
sheep with an annual wool pro
duction of 1,500,000 pounds. The
annual shipments of sheep to the
stock markets amounts to 75,000
head. Crook county is credited as
well with 35,000 head of range
cattle. It has 10,000 range horses
and 2,000 swine, although hog
raising has not yet been developed
to the point of being an industry.
The possibilities along this line
are great, as in the Malheur valley,
yet the industry has not been
placed on an independent footing
and the production of marketable
hogs is carried on with other ranch
operations without reference to the
possibilities of heavy profits by
rpecialiiing and taking advantage
of the known advantages of avail
able alfalfa and barley in the pro
duction of animals affording ex
ceptionally fine hams and bacon
It is a notable fact that the alfalfa
fed hogs of this and other valleys
embraced within the military road
grant lands produce hams which
when cured, possesses a distinctive
and deliriously appetizing flavor.
The large live stock interests in
these districts require the heavy
production of forage crops and
vast quantities of bay are annually
required "by the stockmen who
graze their flocks and herds on the
mountain sides and in the national
foresf during the summer months
, And bring them down into the
valleys for the. winter months.
Alfalfa is the natural and most
profitable of these crops, although
timothy and clover produce heavy
yields, and is extensively grown
and commands an excellent price.
During 1908 hay sold up to 115
per ton, but during 1909 ranged
up to $30 per tou and during the
present year is commanding the
latter rather than the former price.
The demand is increasing with the
extension of stock-raie ing and the
increase of the herds, and ' in such
uiomui kb mis, wnere tne graz
ing lands are always sure to be of
vastly greater acreage than the
lands suitable for the cultivation
of hay crops, the supply will never
exceed the demand. Stockmen
predict that although in 1909 the
hay production of the country
was 60,000 tons, the demand will
never be fully met. Good prices
and a ready local market have had
the tendency for several years past
to cause the breaking up of large
holdings into smaller tracts, which
are being utilized as alfalfa farms.
The crop is easy of cultivation,
sure in returns and always in de
mand, thus affording the small
rancher a certain return upon his
investment and labor, without the
uncertainties of weather and yield
which always exists in non-irrigated
districts.
West from Prineville, the mili
tary road grant lands follow the
Crooked river for many miles,
thence farther on towards the
Cascade Mountains, embracing
lands along the famous Deschutes
river, down which both the Hill
and Harriman lines are building
and are rushing construction with
all possible speed.
The Detchutes River Country.
The Deschutes river, without
doubt, has the largest amount of
unapplied water-power of any river
in the world. Flowing approxi
mately 4.000 cubic fivt of a'.er
per second, and having fall
4,000 feet perpendicular iu a die
taftce of aliout 120 miles, the power
capable of being developed is
most incalculable. A per eiulicu
lar fall occurs every lew miles
throughout the whole length of th
river from Lava poet-ofllce to tin
Columbia river. Between th
numerous falls the river is very
swift, baring an average descent of
30 feet to the mile. It ruts near
the foot of tbe eastern slope of th
Cascade mountains and is fed 1
eternal snows. A peculiarity
the stream is that it seldom,
ever, rises or falls more than '
inches. It abounds with trout
the gamiest of fresh water fish, and
hundreds of thousands are caught
from its waters annually. It
only a question of a lew years
wheu this virgin power will
harnessed, and furnish electric
power for all the adjacent country
The Oregon & Western Colon
tation Company has a water-power
of great value in this distri
which "is to be developed an
utilized.
The Deschutes river flows in
rocky canytfn and on each side are
the high rolling sage-brush plaint
now being reclaimed by private
irrigation enterprises.
Black Bitti TW.
Between the Deschutes and the
lower levels of the Cascades, the
grant lands embrace broad stretches
of valuable agricultural land
partially timbered, and thoroughly
well watered with deep, clea
streams. Sisters, a small town
this district, is tbe dividing line
between the plains and vallevs of
the east and the heavily timbered
rough and precipitous eastern
slope of the great mountain range,
Between Sisters and the moun
tains lie the timber lands of the
Black Butte district, embracing
magnificent stand of young yellow
pine amounting to 589,250,000 feet
and 67,675,000 feet of bull pine,
red and white fir, white pine and
tamarack. These land.', classed as
the east elope timber holdings
amount to 50,000 acres and em
brace some of the most valuable
although not the heaviest timber
contained within the road grant
From Sisters the military road
winds westward to the toll gate on
the slopes of Mount Washington,
where the toll road over the moun
tain begins. This road, part of
the construction upon which the
original grant was earned,
traverses a region of rugged and
pictutesque beauty, climbing high
into the crags of the Cascades and
crossing the summit, winds down
the magnificent Santiam Canyon
to the broad valleys at the- feet of
tbe mountains on the western
lope'.'
