Harney County. It seems that this
county will soon be connected with

railroads as this section of the state.

road from Yaquina Day to lioise,

have been expecting the railroad.

the road up Deschutes River, which
gave the people new encouragement
to go out further in unknown valleys
for homes. There is not a valley that
has not been visited by the homeseek

this section lately and several survey
ing parties are in the field.elocating
ary m each year.
