RAILS SET 20 YEARS AGO 'Marvelous Wheat Belt See Hope in Humored Plans of Short I.I no to Build Tb rough Zone Val ley Looks Its Best. FT ADDIFOV BENNETT. BCRNS. Or, May . (Staff Corre spondence.) Burnt, tha metropolis of the great Harney country. 1 situated en high land Just north of the Harney Valley, which la one of the largest bodies of level Taller land In Oregon. Just how many square miles there are In this wonderful ralley It Is hard to estimate, for It reaches far away to the east and west up the streams and smaller valleys In various places for many miles. But taking In these val leys, like Silver Creek. Sllvles Valley nd the BliUcn River section, there are perhaps exceeding 600 sections of what may be called valley land. From Burns straight south to Mal- iieur Lake. the distance Is about 1 miles and that take one down the western side of the valley, the main portions lying to the east and south east. Going straight south from Bucns ten miles brings you to Wright's Point, which Is a ridge about a mile wide on tp and about J00 feet high, which stretches out Into the valley for five or six miles. This Is a peculiar for matlon of lava rock, with almost i secr ascent on all sides, but level on top. with good sagebrush land thereon. Acrss this, to the south. Is Sunrise Valley and directly to the east and ten miles away Is the Uttle town of Lawen not far north of Malheur Lake, and di rectly south of tne eastern point of vtngnrs foim. on the south or Mai neur Lake, is another town. Narrows. Tn miles east and four miles north of Burns la the town of Harney. Those are tne only towns In the valley proper, al though Riley, up Silver Creek Valley. to the west about -0 miles, and Harrl- man to the southeast have a store and postofflce. The other towns In the county are Zrewsy. about e miles east and "0 miles north of Burns, and Diamond, commonly called Wild eHorae. and 1 n lo. overcast of Stein's Mountain, the latter town being on the Nevada line. These are business points of soma mo ment, the latter place being a very busy settlement about sheepshearlng time, for thousands of fleeces are clipped there every Spring. Harney County is somewhat larger than the State of Massachusetts, so it will be seen that what one might call urban settlements are very small, probably all of the towns put together having a population of leva than 1500 , people. But one most not class these I laces In a business way by the num ber of the people who live there, for there are many large stocks of goods carried at the various stores. For In stance. Charley Haines, at Narrows. rare. There Is no place In the world where the really unfortunate are so well treated as here. The response of neigh bors snd friends In the hour of trouble Is Instant and generous. Any decent. In dustrious man or woman can get a help ing hand, a little slake of credit or prop erty for the asking more than likely It will be volunteered without the asking. What the people frown upn Is Idleness snd the lark of frugality, but such cases are very rare. Work, honest toll and Industry are the rule in 99 cases out of 100. I may cite a case to show the feel Ins; here toward the really unfortunate. A man who had lately arrived was overtaken by sickness before he got wofl on his feet. He bad a dependent family. He struggled along until fi nally, unknown to his neighbors, he was practically In want. He had noth ing available aa security save his teanv which was not of much value. But ha went to a merchant nearby and said he wanted to mortgage the team, wagon and harness for a small bill of groceries and clothing. The merchant talkd the matter over and Anally sent the man home with his wagon loaded with goods to the amount of $150, and his own time, to pay. without security. And the best part of the tale Is that while this hsppened less than a year sco the unfortunate la now on his. feet, with a fair prospect of becoming one of the prosperous ones of the county. Another thing that strikes one Is the open doors of the jails as a rule, and the absence of petty thievery. Hardly a door In the Interior is locked at night. TURNING OF TIDE i!

For the people aa a rule are strictly hon est. No Hobos There. ' And the tramp, the hobo? Practi cally unknown. Tou will now and then see. particularly as the shearing season approaches, a man wending his way In from the railroad with his lit tle bundle of blankets strapped to his back, but he Is really and honestly looking for wore:, and aa a rule he knows where he Is going to find It and he does find It. I do not think It fair to call such chaps tramps cer tainly not hobos. As to the future of this great coun try there can be no argument. The land here will, when the country Is once opened un. be found to be won derfully productive. I saw a field yes-4 terday that proditred last year 90 bush els of barley to the acre, and 40 to to bushels of wheat Is not uncommon. But this la with Irrigation. And, there are many thousands of acres right close to Burns and Ha.fy that have the water and will do that well when there Is a way to get the grain to market. As it Is now there are only two Items thst can- be marketed perhaps three; livestock, wool and hides. But the landowners will hsve to be shown. Improved farming methods will have to be undertaken and persisted In. rotation of crops snd proper cul tivation and seeding will have to be studied. And it seems that the way Is about to open up for the people of this valley to be shown all of those things. for the Legislature passed a bill last Winter providing for the location of an experimental station here, and It Is said that the Oregon Agricultural Col lege officials will soon be here to se lect the site. The state provides 12000 year and the Government the same amount for annual maintenance, while the county has set aside $15,000 for the land and permanent Improvements thereon. I do not think anything has ever happened In the hlstorv of the county of more Importance than this. for it Is undoubtedly true the people here hsve been groping almost In the dark. But there has been but little Incentive to use the land for anything opinion of William S. Jones, business manager of the Minneapolis Journal, and of C K Blandln. business man ager of the St. Paul Dispatch and Pioneer Press, who arrived In the city yesterday and are staying at the Port- iana. nr. Jones and Mr. Blandin are making a tour of the Northwest Coast cities, having visited Spokane and Se attle before coming; to Portland. They declared themselves astonished at the rapid growth of the Northwest. "The Twin Cities and Duluth." aald Mr. Jones, "united in the movement to launch the Northwest Development As sociation at Helena, for the sole reason that the business men of these places have come to the conclusion that it is time for something to be done toward diverting of the colonist travel from estern Canada. It is a serious men ace, we believe, to our own natural and logical destiny. There Is an em pire in the Northwest awaiting de velopment, and to permit the hardy settlers of the Middle, West to pass us over without an effdrt on our part to stop them Is little short of a busi ness crime. For that reason senti ment was in a condition to be crys talixed Into an effective, energetic and thoroughly business organization. Sentiment to Be Aroused. piac-v ot K uusen ouiiuinpti. earn wij . . - goods to the amount of $100,000. and " ""rn-p. at Diamond, has a Una '"' iiujnpi,Un. Mr. Horton. store and a large stock of goods, al though that town has only four or five buildings. And the same Is true of Andrews, where Smyth Bros, do a large business. Large Ranches Numerous. There are about 150.000 acres of for est reserve In the county, practically all of it being north of Burns. Then there are some very large ranches. Totably the old Frencb-Glen holdings, of which William Hanley has charge. This is commonly called the P ranch, r-ut It Is made up of the Bell A ranch. OO ranch and the various ranches in t'atlow Valley. Diamond ranch. Happy Valley ranch and others, embracing In all something under 140.000 acres. The old Miller A Lux ranches, now owned by the Pacific Livestock Company, have Sj.OOO acres, the old John Devlne ranch has 14.000 acres and the Trout Creek rnch about 10,000 acres, while the various road lands amount to 265.000 acres. As the number of acres of deeded land In the county amounts inbound numbers to 9o0.(i3 acres it will be seen that considerably over half of It la held by these various large owners. The Assessor has given me the follow ing figures as to the amount and value of livestock In the county: Horses and mules. 8330. value I'JTO.STS: cattle. 45. 9'H. value lss.7S; sheen. ItZ.toO. value Sli.VM. and hogs, valued at I1TJS. But these figures sre very misleading to the S' tunl number and value of range stock feeding In the county, for I rave often been told that during the Poring months. Just after shearing time. ovef JiO.OwO sheep graze around Stein's Mountain alone. Sneaking of this mountain reminds me that It Is one of the finest bodies of grazing land to be found anywhere. The mountain proper shows on the map as perhaps &0 miles long from north to south and 20 miles wide. This would he measuring from Pueblo Mountain on the south to the Harney Valley on the north and from the Blitzen River and Cat low Valley on the west to the Juniper Valley and the Alvord desert and Wild Jlorse countries on the east. But It Is a mountain without a tree save the Junipers, and ran be grazed from tie valleys to tho summit. And It Is well watered and affords fine pas turage. Just how high the summits sre I do not know, but perhaps around 7000 or SOOi" feet, or 3000 or 4''M feet above the valleys. Harney Valley having a genera:, altitude of 4100 feet. To show the growth and general pros perity of the county, it may be raid that the total value of all the property In the county is now given as only a few thou sand dollars under tl.6to.ooo. while In Ji It amounted to S?.5o0.ooo. When you remember that the county has a popula tion of only 4000 people it will be seen thst the general average Is pretty high. I think It will be seen that Harney Is one of the most prosperous counties In Oregon, and one of the richest per cap ita agricultural or stockralalng coun tries to be found anywhere. Poverty Seems I'nknow n. And that brings me again to the re mark that after all of the cries and pleas for raUttays and other Iroprove'd faculties for conducting their buslsess. after considering their Isolation, the '-altering population, the great dU lances from markets considering everything. It la the great wonder of the visitor that the people are so universally well-to-do. You will find In these Interior sec tions practically no such thing as pover ty. There are to be sure some who are not over-prosperous, but where you find people of that sort In one of these in terior neighborhoods you can set It down straight that the trouble has arisen and Is maintained by one of two causes, mis fortune In the way of sickness or Idle Cess. Eut suth cases axe rare, ery Bo laggard have been the people that for a number of years there has not been wheat enough raised- for the local consumption. Even now practically all of the riour on the market here Is from over the mountains. And yet. aa I have heretofore pointed ouL here lies the future granary of Oregon. There Is no doubt but what Harney will, before many years, pro duce four of five millions of bushels of cereals per year, not a bit of doubt If! And that "If Is a railroad transpor tation. Without that the people and their chief Industry He bottled up. hound and tied. - HANKINS GOES TO SPOKANE Accused Check Manipulator Will Not light Again ft Extradition. ROSEBCRG. Or.. May 8.

A secretary will be employed and paid to conduct a campaign of publicity and to visit commercial clubs throughout the proposed field of endeavor, arous ing Interest. It is proposed to create sentiment. If It does not exist al ready, throughout the Northwest for i the exploitation of the advantages of this region. It is proposed to give free rein to the best methods of nuh- llshlng all of the Information possible n uiuie Wftl publications. The St. Paul DispatisS. the Minneapolis Journal and the Omaha Bee will devote a de partment to the publicity of the sec tions within the territory of the as sociation. "Two features of the organization are to be developed In the holding of a land show at Minneapolis or St. Paul and a I meeting on the Pacific Coast to create enthusiasm. The land show will attract attention. In this every man who has anything that will show the country to advantage will find room to display his goods. It Is proposed to have the railroads vitalize the entire force of the show by lending all of their InTluence. The people of Minnesota are much In terested and "believe that the associa tion will accomplish the results so much desired." Auto Tour to Be Noteworthy. To add to the natural development of the country tributary to the Twin Cities and as an Incident to the organization of the Northwestern Development League. Mr. Blandln called attention to the Twin City automobile tour which wlir be run out of the two cities next July. "It will he the longest automobile trip or Its kind." said Mr. Blandln. "It will exceed the world famous Glidden tour. It will run from Minneapolis to Helena and along side of the tourists will be run a special hotel train that will be one of the finest things known in the country. The automoblllsts from all sections of the Nation will be in attend ance and take part in the affair. Al ready a pathfinder has been sent out. More than IW.0D0 will be expended in the making of good roads. The St. Paul Despatch tiTfers a trophy In connection with the tour. We believe that the town will advertise the country widely."

In an onlnlnn of Importance to the City of Roseburg, the Supreme Court today af firmed the lower court In the case of George H. Chauncey against H. Wollen berg. and others, holding that the present holders of property In certain large sec tions of Roseburg shall not be disturbed In their right to the land. The suit was to partition land. In the statement of facts It was shown that the United States granted to Aaron Rose, founder of the City of Roseburg. tha north half of a donation land claim In Douglas County and to his wife. Sarah Rose, and the heirs thereof, the south half. Mrs. Rose died in 1866 owning the land ao granted except such parts thereof as she and her husband had con veyed, which are not involved in the present suit. At her dneith she left her husband, four brothers, six nephews and a niece. After her death Aaron Rose continued In possession of the remaining part of t)m south half of the donation land claim and secured from her four broth ers and from all the children of her itcastd brother, except CliapJn Chaun. cey and the plaintiff, George H. Chaun cey. deeds conveying to him their re spective Interests In to premises.., The greater part of this land waa laid out and platted as Roseburg and the various lots and blocks were sold by him. He died In 1899 and all of the re maining land was sold by an administra tor. Chapin Chauncey died and the plaintiff, George Chauncey, asserting his right as heir of two thirty-filths of the property, commenced suit February 23, 1909. making the owners of several pieces of property parties to the suit.
