Rushing Stock
To Market
Syndicate Buys
Bend Townsite
Fully 100 carloads of cattle
and sheep will ba shipped into
Portland from the territory
d rained by the newly const ructed
Orwron Trunk line before the
end of March.
While otlieials of the new line
have reason to believe that hand
ling of livestock in large quan
tities will be a recular item cf
frefght traffic, they realize that
the heavy handling for March is
not a fair estimate of what may
be expected throughout the re
mainder of the year.
Many farmers and stockmen
of Central Oregon Lave beeu
holding their cattle nnd sheep all
Winter, that they might take ad
vantages of the reduced freight
rates over the direct line into
Portland. As soon as this sur
plus supply of stock is removed
the traffic will become norma!.
However, it is expected that th
movement will be an important
item in the road's business every
month and that it will grow
gradually as the country de
velops.
The firs', car of sheep was
shipped into Portland from
Mairas Monday. February 20
before freight traffic was inaug
u rated regularly. Several other
cars have been received here
since then and traveling freight
asents of the new line are now
soliciting the shippers for ad
ditional carload lots.
Reports were received in the
general freight offices yesterday
t at "5 cars have booked for
shipment before the end of
March. It is expected thai .the
100 mark will be reached with
ease.
Most of the stock coming into
Portland is ready for slaughter
but some of it must be fattened
before going to the stockyards
Now that the railroad has
entered the Deschutes Valley,
stockraising is expected to be
come one of the principal indus
tries of that section. Heretofore
farmers were discouraged in
preparing cattle and sheep for
market because of the difficulties
in plating them on the railroad.
It was necessary to drive them
many miles across the country
and the tri p had a damaging effect
oa the sttK-k, causing the animals
to lose many pounds in weight.
Now it is possible to place
them on cars one morning and
have them delivered in Portland
the following morning over the
Oregon Trunk and North Bank
roads. This will preclude the ne
cessity of unloading the stock for
feed and water, and will reduce
the cost greatly. Farmers thu
will receive full market price for
their products and will benefit
by the sale of full weightjinstead
of suffering by shrinkage in
sending stock across the sage
brush to the railrrad.
Many Central Oregon farmeis
have expressed an iutention of
going into the stockraising busi
ness on a large scale because of
thealvautago in transportation
they will have. While the day of
the big cattle ranch is over, it is
believed that more stock than
ever will be produced in prnpor
tion to tTie acreage.
The Oregon Trunk is prepar
ing to handle this class of freight
in large quantities. Special
double-deck stoukcars for hand
ling sheep have been sent up the
Deschutes Valley.
Facilities for loading stock
have been provided at Metolius
Madras and Mecca. Large
yards have been built; feedin
bins have been provided and
gangways leading to the boxcars
have been constructed. At
Maupin, Sherar and U'llen to
commodations for handling sheep
and cattle have been established.
but extensive yards have not yet
been built. Improved facilites
will be establihed at all those
places, and as the line is ex
tended south similar improve
ments will be provided at all
stock loading points. Ore-gonian.
Sale of the entire townsite
of Hend. Crook County, together
with the affiliated properties at
that place, to a syndicate com
posed of Eastern capitalists and
Oregon men. for a consideration
reported to be about JoOO.000, is
about to be closed. Agreements
for the sale were completed and
signed in Portland yesterday,
and it is expected that the de
tails of the transfer can be com
pleted and the actual conveyance
made in less than o0 days.
The properties affiliated with
the Pend townsite are varied and
extensive, including a sawmill,
some 3000 acres of timber land,
2000 of agricultural laud, 1400
acres adiaeent to the town, 1300
platted lots, and the water power
and lighting plant situated at the
town. Valuable water power

included in the sale, together
with some water rights for ir

Portland has. The sawmill has
a capaciry of -5.000 feet a day,

The approaching railroads
open a new era for that town and

of development, not only for
Bend, but for the adjacent
country. Extensive sawmiiling
is expected to follow the com
