You want people to ncatter through

your landH will become valuable

not play even with It, don't cIhihu It
too hard. Have enough for yourself,
but devote your time to the crop
that will bring you the nuiHt money.
R.it. Alf.lf.
If you can get this Hort of stuff to
grow pointing to alfalfa and I am
willing to admit that I think It
grew here and that yon did not bor
row It. Now, look at that point
ing at alfalfa U you could grow
that It will beat till the npplea that
you mine on these plateaus.
If I had to have one crop on a
farm and had to be confined to one
crop I would take alfalfa. Clover Is
good. Alfalfa will take the place of

There are four or live weeks you
want a little grain to top ofl with.
It HtfiiiH to me that If you can rulne
HiIh alfalfa (pointing to a bundle)
mid I have uo doubt you rained It
It Ih Herloimly worth every effort
that you can make to grow It.
That corn looks comfortable but
iih between corn mid alfalfa, I would
take alfalfa any time against the
corn that grows In the Miami bot
tom or In the Mlxsourl button, or
the WiiIiiihIi, of any of the bent corn
countries that we have; and I am
mini that In the long run the alfalfa
will lieal It. Solfyoij cannot raise
corn iih a sun' thing, don't get tired,
don't give It up. You can In a
country that will turn out what Is
here tonight cnll for a place on the
front neat among the agricultural
states, and Oregon will Uud lis place
lu the front Heat. You can make It
so.
BmfiU Dairying.
One - of the inont Important
branches of agriculture Ih largciy
overlooked. I watched It grow Irwin
north of Lake Ontario, or, you may
Hiiy, from the etiHtern end of Lake
Ontario wentward until anally It
has reached the I'lU'lllc Count. I al
lude to dairying. Dairying Is of
more conncipience to successful funn
ing than most people for one mo
ment coiinlder. It help every crop.
It helps keep up the fertility of the
mill, anil, of ltHclt, It Ih an excellent
crop. .The hall Htorm does not kill
It entirely; drought and dry seasons
do not kill It entirely, and a good
dairy cow will raise nt least (our
pigs, and she ought to raise six If
she Is well looked after.
Hop ProliUblt.
Well, now, a pig properly looked
after, seven or eight months old Is
worth fourteen or fifteen dollars.
Ami I dou't know but It is about as
easy as getting money from home to
raise a pig and get tlfU'en dollars for
him wheu he is eight mouths old
Which Is the easier thing, to raise
mich a pig as that or to plow and
harrow, seed, disc and harvest and
market an acre of grain? fifteen
dollars au acre Is not so bad lots
of people get less.
Cultivate Ih Soil.
Now, I have talked to you a little
about a subject that Is always more
or less In my mind, and that Is the
cultivation of the soil, because no
nation, no people and no com
munity no large community uo
state, has ever continued for a long
period of time unless It gave the first
place to tho cultivation of the soil.
With the opportunities you have
to get people here, aud that is what
you want, they cau come In now
and not have to go 125 to 150 miles
to get to the courthouse or to the
market. We hope that within the
next couple of summers tho country
will realize, the country will bo made
to know what we know tonight, be
cause they will see what we see to
nlglit, .they will see what you raise.
It they" feunnot come 3500 miles or
3,000 or 250Q nilk'8 to Central Oregon
to see what you have got, we will
have to take Ceufral Oregen or part
of It to where they live so that they
cau see It; aud that Is what we pro
pose to do.
Now, In doing that, we will help
jTTi r I-1 1 &Z amo cavt pech rAP't y-i mail
otirselve; we will advance our own
Interest. We would Im-sorry to have
spent the money we have to come In
here nnd build a good road up that
gorge unless we believed In the
future growth of this part of your
state. Rcmemlier If there was no
body but Adam and F.veln the Harden
of Kden, a railroad would not be
worth a cent. You have got to
have people, you have got to have
a good niuuy of them; you have got
to have It so that they can work,
they have got to be prosperous, be
muse If they are not, anil If they
cannot carry on the work they have
in hand nnd make more that a bare
living, they won't stay; they will go
iiwnv. That Is an advantage they
have. The railroad hns not got
that advantage. The railroad when
It comes here once, It Ih In partner
ship with the laud upon which we
live nud walk. It must be poor
with It, and It will ouly pronr
when the land prospers, or the
owner of the land prospers. You
ca Hhll yotr laud and. move awity,
(f I owned the railroad I might sell It
but I have a great many partners,
about 1S,000 and about 8,000 of them
are women and children, aud I have
to take care of their Interest. Now
with their eminent I could Bell the
railroad, but I could not take It
away. It Is here, It has got to re
main, and It has got to have Its
prosperity or Its poverty with the
growth of this couutry, and that Is
the reason why we are so anxious
that you should grow. In order that
you may make greater efforts. We
know that If vour efforts fall, that
we full, and every dollar that we get
you have got to get It first, that
Is the reason that we take so
deep an Interest In your success.
We are glad now and at all times,
and we always have lieen It has
been our policy to try and hold up
the hands of the mau who is cultl
vatlug the land.
WutcJ la Set PriaevUle.
Now, I take It that a great many
of you livelu Prineville. I kuew about
Prineville five or six years ago, and I
had a curiosity to see It because a
party told me it was situated In a
lovely part of Central Oregon, and
that really while a gretit deal of
Ccutral Oregon might lie classed as
desert laud, Prineville was an ex
ception. Now I have not seen any
desert land except an occasional
bunch of It that stuck through.
Some of the land looked to me I am
not quite used to this volcanic ash
yet, but I hope to be, some of It
looked to me very fertile and I have
not seen anything to discourage
that view.
I hope tlmt we will have nn oppor
tunity to exteud our lines farther
than where the end Is now. It
won't be nearly as hard to come
over this plain as It was to get onto
It, and it will not take as much
money. I am, on the whole, glad
that 1 did not start to come up the
river before tho road was built, be
cause I spent a good deal of money
In building roads on the prairie and
even across the mountains, but I
tlou't quite remember of any 115 or
120 miles that has started to go so
many places and suddenly changed
Its mind aud took another direction.
It took another direction. It Is
crooked, I think that ought to be
Crooked river. At the same time we
have got a pretty good road there
and It cost a good deal of money,
aud for that reason we are inter
ested in getting some of It back,
We are glad at all times that we
are In position to help share your
burden, but don't put all your
burden on us, don't feel that after
we come here aud help yon build the
country up don't leel as If we were
rigs; fruit on the branch or roast
turkey ready to lie carved up. Try
to treat us an you would like to he
treated, aud we will treat you as
we want you to treat us; treat us
lulrly and we will treat you fairly.
Home of you and your forebearers
who brought you here, know what
it whs to live on the frontier. I have
had a little experience myself. I
lived In Minnesota in 1VI2 when 15
to 1(1 hundred people were killed by
the Sioux and I say I go back with
a great deal of sympathy and a
warm pluce In my heart for the peo-
tile who live on the frontier, but
when you are almost within sound !
of the whistle of the tralu, you are
not on the frontier as you were. I
might say I hope the time won't be
too far away when we can get that
whistle an It will sound louder In i
your ear, when .you will hear the j
whistle and not its echo. i
I I a. . ! .. t 1 1
i iioiie m m.-e fuu aguiu ouu uopv
to see you frequently, and If I am
not able to see you as often as I
would line to I aip going to send my
son, I am not lu, una l uon t kuow
that you are In the position of an
old colored man that had been
taught something of Christianity,
but he had not entirely gotten over
vlsitiug the smokehouses. On one
oeeunion he was caught with a ham.
He did not know how to get out of It,
but he had been taught If he wanted
any thing lie was to ask the Lord for
It and to pray, so he made a break
for the woods and got down and
snld, "O Lord, you'se old servant Is
In powerful trouble, come down Lord
and help me, come yourself, don't
send your son, it's no boy's Job."
Prineville People in
Auto Accident.
(ioing at the rate of about 30
miles au hour, an automobile in
which were five people smashed
into a juniper tree yesterday af
ternoon near Cline Falls and was
wrecked. The accident was
caused by the steering gear
breaking. S. O. Johnson, a
wealthy timberman of San Fran
cisco, was the only person hurt,
the escape of the others being
remarkable.
When the tree was struck the
auto turned over. Mr. Johnson
was in the middle seat of the
touring car and having nothing
to hold to was thrown out and
the car fell on him. His right
ankle was badly bruised but no
bones were broken. The others
in the car were Mr. and Mrs. J.
E. Ryan of Bend, Miss Fay Bald
win of Prineville and the driver,
Jack Dana. Fortune favored
them and they got off with noth
ing more than a severe jolting.
Mr. Johnson said last night
that the car was badly damaged,
one wheel and the front part be
ing demolished. The Wenandy
Livery Co. was telephoned to
send a car for the party and Mr.
Darby went down.
Mr. Johnson arrived in Bend
Sunday with a party of friends
and was making a pleasure trip
when the accident occurred.
