Burke and Wilson Interests Rush
Into Breach for Pierce Coonty's
Support Judge Snell May
Become Candidate.
TA0OMA. Wash., May 18. (Special.
R. I McOormlck, Republican National
Committeeman, has Quit the race for
United States Senator. "With the obse
quies of Colonel B. D. Crocker yester
lay the last expectation that McCormick
would remain a candidate vanished, and
today formally -withdrew. His statement,
which Is addJ-eeoed "To the Public and
Friends who have so loyally and kindly
supported my candidacy," follows:
"I feel certain that my chances were
as good as a man could desire, and
know that a vast majority of the people
of Tacoma and the Southwest, and a
goodly portion of the voters of the entire
atate were favorable to my election,
hence my regret at toeing compelled to
retire from the field, owing to the con
dition of my eyes.
Loss of Sight Threatened.
For weekp I have been unable to read,
and my medical advisers warned me that
the arduous work and excitement of a
strenuous campaign might cost me total
loss of sight. My health and my family
are paramount, and hence, with the hope
that Tacoma may find a Senatorial can
didate to take my place In the race, for
I believe that the next United States
Senator from "Washington logically should
come from Tacoma, I hereby withdraw
as a candidate for the United States
Benate."
Judge McCormick's statement as to the
condition of his eyes Is not overdrawn.
His sight has been failing, and It has
shown Its effects In a hesitancy and un
certainty of gait, which conveyed a warn
ing that could no longer -e Tgnored. .
Several days ago the report was circu
lated that he would withdraw, but
whether his decision was hastened or de
layed by the Illness and death of Colonel
Crocker, who was directing his cam
paign, is not known. Certain It Is that
that political genius had set about to
elect a Senator for Tacoma, and had
picked McCormlck. with his prestige as
National committeeman, and his wide
experience as a man of affairs, as the
most likely candidate.
Judge Snell May Come Out.
Had Colonel Crocker survived, the
chances are that the withdrawal of
McCormlck would have been accom
panied by an announcement of the can
didacy of Judge William H. Snell. This
move would have been made after a
cementing of the McCormlck organlza-i
tion. so that It might have been trns
mltted intact to Judge Snell, as the
candidate of Tacoma, Pierce County
and the Southwest.
Snell probably will become a candi
date later, but whether he can keep
the McCormlck forces together is a
Iuestloirt Already a move is under
way to deliver most of the McCormick
strength to Judge Thomas Burke, of
Seattle. Ex-Senator John L. Wilson,
also of King, will not overlook the
opportunity to make friends with his
former opponents in Pierce. Snell will
have to move quickly, or the organiza
tion perfected by Colonel Crocker will
either disintegrate or pass beyond the
control of Pierce County's latest pos
sibility. Strategetlcally, Pierce is acknowl
edged to have the best chance to win,
but today finds itself without a leader
tr a candidate.
McCormick Anxious to Get Out.
"I have been trying to get out of this
race for three weeksr but until now
have not been able to see my way clear
to do it," said Mr. McCormick.
"I feel certain my chances were as
good as any man could desire and know
a vast majority of the people in the
southwest, and a goodly portion of the
voters of the entire state were favor
able to me.
"I am compelled by order of my phy
sicians to retire, however. My eyes
have gone back on me, and I am no
longer able to read, although I can see
objects at a distance. I am also trou
bled with Bright'' disease, and the doc
tors have ordered me to retire and
travel the rest of my days.
"As to my successor in the race I
have nothing to sa. I want the best
man for Tacoma to go in and win. The
interests of Tacoma were the only
tning that inaueea me to enter the race
In the first place.
Judge Snell Would Run.
"I am not now a candidate for
Senator," said Judge Snell tonight.
-wnetner or not I will become a can
didate will depend on how the people
ot mis city and county and. the south
west counties regard the matter.
"I have no longer a personal amhi
tion to satisfy, but I am not insensible
to the honor, neither do I desire to be
an 'also ran.' If there is an almost
unanimous demand for a Tacoma man
to enter ne race, and I am accentahie
I will go In. but I must be assured of
the friendly support of a majority of
me newspapers ot my own city."

years efforts, the Northern Pacific last

have been chosen to the .southward. . the
former extending from Odell through Sil
ver 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.
Prlneville, apparently, will get its trans
portation via a branch line.
Unlike Madras, Redmond and Bend.
Prlneville in transfers of town prop
erty 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 per
manent business centers to be abso
lutely 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. Within
a few weeks, two lots on the main
street of Jledmond that were pur
chased one year ago for $150 each were
sold for $1000 each.
The growth of the town is duplicated
in the country districts. Throughout
the irrigation projects in particular
new houses are going up In large num
bers. This year the time limit for the
settlement of many acres in the proj
ect will expire 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 Sum
mer.
Madras Now Grain Center.
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 ob
tainable difficulties are encountered in
getting teams for hauling.
This general activity and growth ex
tends over an area of approximately
50 miles square with Madras on the
north. Bend on the south and taking
both sides of the Deschutes River on
the east and west Throughout this
district a large variety of conditions
are encountered. Madras Is the cen
ter 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, Hay
Creek, Hay Stack and Opal Prairie dis
tricts on the east and south. Its ter
ritory will extend from Trout Creek
on the north to Crooked River on the
south.
The Big Agency Plains, lying- north
of Madras, comprise a territory about
15 miles long and 8 miles wide. Lit
tie Agency Plains to the southwest
are 12 miles long and 3 miles wide.
It Is estimated that the district em
braced in the two plains will produce
2,000,000 bushels of wheat annually
which will be shipped from Madras
Between Hay Creek 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 probably 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 districts
stretching away to the east and south
are well settled and are producing
grain, hardy vegetables and alfalfa.
Potatoes Produce Heavily.
.After crossing Crooked River the' rail
roads soon enter the irrigated district.
where alfalfa, root crops and dairying
will prevail with good prospects for th
growing 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 east
ward to where the plains break away
into the Crooked River valley at Prlne
vllle. On the southeastern edge of th
segregation is the Powell Butte country
of 13,000 acres, where potatoes weighing
four pounds ten ounces were produced
and exhibited at the Billings Dry Farm
Congress. Throughout the irrigated sec
tion, potatoes attain such size that a
starch factory Is proposed which will
utilize the largest ones, reserving those.
of medium and uniform size for the mar
kets with the idea of gaining a nam
for Deschutes Valley potatoes. Potatoes
with no care whatever after the plowing
In the Spring, have produced 8T bushels
to the acre in the Powell Butte country.
In 'one exceptional instance one acre
yielded 390 bushels on Irrigated land.
Oats is the primary crop on new land
and the first year yield Is up to S5 bush
els to the acre in the irrigated 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 crops are cut each season with
prospects of better yields as the condl
tions of the country are mastered.
So far the more or less boom in prop
erty prices has- been confined to the
towns. Farm values around Madras and
Redmond have not changed materially
rrom tnose given in tne rxew Years Ore
' gonian. Resales In the Irrigated district
run from 40 to i5 an acre. Lands on
the Agency Plains are' held at from $15
to $30 an acre.
