REDUONU Or- May 2L 9irf cor
respondence.) The road from Cllne Falls
to Redmond leads throurh h mighty
good country mmt all of which la under
trrlcatlon. or rather, under the ditch.
fom of the land la broken and rocky,
tut the (od la for la excess of the bad.
Tb distance la fire miles, the direc
tion very nearly east. As you approach
Redmond there are nice ranches, many
well-cultivated field, many acrea of al
falfa and clover. The country stretch
Ins; away to the view south and north
ef Redmond shows also lots of weil-cutt'-mi"1
fields and a largo number of nice
tomea.
Redmond la called by Its Inhabitants
"TH Huh." and one of the two neara
pnpera hare the same name. Py that
tny probably mean that the town la In
tfe heart of the Irrigated district, one
cf the main can-its of the Central Ore
iron Irrlattlon Company passing north
and south Just east of the town, the
railway arade beinr between the ditch
and town. This la ths Pilot Butte Canal,
and runs Over nearly to Prlnevtlle. This
canal at Redmond Is mora like a river,
for It Is 2') or 1 feet wtde. flows rapidly
and has a de,-th or from four to aix
Jt- UKe all of the canals of this com
panr, It la well corwarurted In every way.
-fiedmond. the Hub.- la a fine town.
Tbey claim a population of TOO. which
Is perhaps not a very great exaggera
tion. If any. There are two banks, two
good hotels, two newspapers, many good
stores, good buildings of a permanent
character, anl one two-tory brick
block, with a lares department store
below axd offices above.
Water and Light Abundant.
The town la supplied with water and
electrlo llcbts by a plant running In
the town, the water being pumped
from a well 440 feet tn depth. But ths
('Una Falla power Is owned by a coro
nr of Redmond citizens, and In due
course of time the water aupply will
mux from the Deschutes and the elec
tric power developed there tor driving
the light plant and for manufacturing
purposes in the town.
If you are going to Redmond and stop
at ths principal hotel, you will find
there In rogue a custom which ought
to be brought to the notice of Fhll
Jdetschan and "Landlord" Bowers. As
you enter ths dining-room you will
see before you a small table, upon
which are numerous napkins, each held
Jn folds by a spring clothes-pin. and
on ths clothes-pin ths name of the
owner, occupier or lessee of ths nap
kin. There are also some loose napkin
and clothe. -pins, and you had better
pre-empt one of each If you expect to
tarry for a day or two or longer. Watch
the guests and learn how to use ths
napkin holder. Just pin the napkin to
your whiskers or rest or collar, and the
women can us collar or shirtwaist as
an anchorage. After your meal, fold
ths napkin, attach to It the clothes
pin, and It will be ready for you when
the gong sounds araln.
Now. I do not tell this as a slur on
Redmond or the Redmond HoteL Far
from It. I think it a custom so unique
as to be wort! copying, snd a good ad
vertisement for "Redmond, ths Hub."
There Is no better lot of hustlers and
boosters tn ths county than you will
find at Redmond: no better advertisers,
no oommunlty where they pull together
better. Tbelr spirit of optimism is
beautiful to behold: their attention to
strangers something for other towns to
emulate, if those other towns expect to
win. But a town with nothing to back
It Is lost la the end. A town that la
ahead of the country Is a poor places to
livs In and Invest In. a mighty poor
place in which to attempt to do busi
ness, fa how about RedroondT Haa It
the proper backing?
Three Good Cities Assured.
Perhaps It wilt bs well to stats that
("rook County la so large that there
will b la the future at least three
good-slxed cities, and tkess will, per
haps, all bs In the Irrigated districts.
ITinevtUe oa the east will more than
llkrly be ona of these cities, but two of
tirm will bs oa ths west, oa ths rail
war or railway, for Crook will soon
bava at least three railways, perhaps
four.
Tiers Is bow being watered tn the
county perhaps JOv.woO acrea of land,
and this area will soon be doubled
before you srs well aware of It. It will
be trebled.
Indeed, so fast la land being put un
der water that one cannot grasp ths
various enterprises by a brief visit. In
my information about the Bend coun
try 1 thought the thread of the Irriga
tion enterprises were pretty well gath
ered up: sow I find there Is a small one
only six miles below Bend, the Arnold
dtt. b. which Is to cover 10.-e acre,
and this work Is practb-ally done. It
has a flum 11 feet wide and feet
ri-r. whi- h Is 4o feet over a mile In
length. This will carry the water to
some IS sections of good land only a
little distance southeast of Bend. And
yet I was not told of It by the Rend
people. Perhaps they were too busy
Informing me about ths town to think
of one little enterprise of itself enough
to but'd up a small city.
Around Redmond la every direction
there Is good land and always remem
twr that It I now being or soon will
bs irrigated. Already there ars thou
sands and thousands of acrea of alfalfa
and clover, and many fields of wheat
and rye and barley snd nearly all the
result of the last two or three years'
planting. Six years ago Redmond waa
a teat In the Jumpers: today It is a
city about ths six of Bend, say coo
or 70S people.
Holdings Mar Be Small.
Remember that In aa Irrigated coun
try ths land holdings are. as a rule,
small. Purpoes we estlmats ths sver
sge farm as acrea Then give Red
mond her undisputed territory, say li
tr-t'e to the east and west (for the
river I only ftvs miles to ths west.
and ! miles to the north snd south.
It Is true ths Redmond people claim
twl.-e that area, and they m.iy get what
they claim bv rtgnttng for It and they
are bom fighters! Rut 300 square
miles of land means J40I farms cf tf
acres each, and ths average farm fam
ily of eight people. Including the Mred
help, gives a population of l.S0O. That,
some will say. Is too largs an estimate.
and It I, 'or today, for this yesr or
.next sea even, for LU decade. ;Ba

soms day not many years distant there
will be mors people than that In the
Redmond district.
And what will they do? Most of
them will be. It seems mors than prob
able. In the dairy business. I be
lieve the day will corns when some
town, soms community in Crook Coun
ty will bs to Oregon what Elgin Is to
Illinois, or Orango County to New
York. There Is no better pasturage
today )n the state than, on hundreds
of clover fields In ths vicinity of Red
mond. There is no better alfalfa dis
trict. "A cow to ths acre" should bs
and will be the war-cry of the Red
mond people, a creamery at every cross
road, a hall dozen oi mem in iu
town.
Then get your population statistics
from another angle. "A cow to the
acre." or nearly 70.000 cows! That, ths
reader will say. la an extreme view,
and It la. But I am speaking of pos
sibilities, not probabrTttles. Bo cut the
number down to 20.000 cows and with
an average yield there will be coming
Into the Bend district $".000,000 a year
from the dairy buslneaa. Then add
to this the -by-products." such ss hogs
and poultry on such things ths Red
mond people are basing their hopes,
baaing them, in ths opinion of experts,
on solid ground.
Crook County Rich. -
Taka Crook County as a whole, take
the great irrigated aectloa. take her
timber, take the pasturage area, take
her water power. Is It too great a
stretch of ths Imagination to say that
In ten years, at the next enumeration
of her population, there will bs SO.000
people here? If so. go back to the In
crease of the last decade. 13 per cent,
and that will ahow soms IJ.000. And
the decade following? The preaent ter
ritory of Crook County ought to have
and mors than likely will hsve over
(0.000 people In 130. And It Is not
unlikely that some one hustling bunch
of citizens will build up a city of 20.000
people in the county before 130.
Will Redmond be the place? No
roan can tclL There ars several places
now on ths map to contend with Prlne
vjlle. Bend and Redmond for metropoli
tan honors, and I would not II ks to
throw cold water oa any of their hope.
But for ths sake of giving fair warn
ing I must say that Redmond la to
be reckoned with in ths running.
One of the -fathers" of Redmond Is
Colonsl TV. A. Belcher, a pioneer of ths
pioneers, lie haa been at ths front for
almost SO years. ls wss one of the
first campers on the present townelte
of Lewlston. Idaho, waa practically tne
founder of Colfax. Wash, and pitched
the Brst tent on ths Redmond town
site. John H. Hall married one of the
daughters of Colonel Belcher, and I
waa fortunate enough to meet Mra.
Hall at that place, and also at Lald
law. where she snd her husband and
two children were fishing.
Colonel Belcher is now doing well,
financially and physically, and la pass
ing his days In peace and content.
Financially he is well fixed hasn't a
worry In ths world. He Is 73 years
"yolnc." and for 42 years has been a
subscriber to The Oregonlsn.
And spesklng of nshlng! Gee! I
saw more trout come in here yester
day then I ever before saw In one
day. all caught la the Ieschutes west
of the town. And in size they av
eraged well, perhaps over nine Inches.
The Deschutes snd its feeders are as
fins trout streams as can bs found
anywhere.
I am indebted to Frank Thoenlx
for a trip around Redmond. He took
ens to the west across the river, to the
north snd northwest, and to the south
snd southwest of the town. We went
through soms very fine country, and
some not so good. But. as sld at the
beginning of this letter, the good so
ttx exceeds ths srea of the bad that
thers is no use haggling over ths lava
rock sections.
Tortland Firm Own Townslie.
The townslts of Redmond is owned
by R a Cook Co, of Portlsnd. or
was originally. Tbey have sold much
of It, and many additions have been
platted. In fact I think there ars
lots enough staked out to make a
city aa large as well, anyhow lO.OOfl.
To show the rapid growth of the
Place it may be well to say that a
var ago on the first of last April
there were only 12 houses In the place.
In a former letter mention was made
of land locators, and sines then I have
met others! And on one of these they
are telling a couple of pretty good
turlsa, lis ran against a atrauex
who looked like a customer for ons of
"his" homesteads, and he suggested
that they take a little spin and see
the country. The stranger said ho
wanted to go first and look over the
country around . Sisters. "Sisters?"
quoth the locator. "Why Slstera Is
way up In the mountains, covered with
snow nine months in ths year, and
during the other three months It is
dangerous to travel through thers on
account of rattlesnakes!"
When It la remembered that Sisters
Is about as low in altitude as any land
In the county the story will be ap
preciated. At another time this locator was
showing a "prospect" around and the
latter suggested that the. land seemed
pretty stony. "Why." said the locator,
"that la what makes It valuable, for
those stones hold ths moisture, in fact
half irrigate It." A little farther on
they passed a field free of stones,
plowed and harrowed ready for seed
ing. Adjoining it was a plowed field
pretty closely covered with stones, and
a man and team hauling the stones oft.
"How is that?" asked the "prospect."
"Why la that man hauling those stones
away if the" are such assistance In
holding ths Ciolsture?" "That goes to
show wha fools soms of these tender
feet are." said the locator. "That field
without stones belongs tr that man
who Is gathering there -Tm that
tenderfoot's place, .and he will scatter
them on his stoneless field I'
The locator miscalculated the range
of vision of the "prospect," fot there
were several windrows of stones at
the back of the cleared field, stones
hauled off by the owner. But this
locator might have told the truth by
saying that the land hereabouts, pretty
thickly strewn with loosa surface
stones. Is as good. If not better, than
that free of stones. It la only the
rocky ledges that make ths land value
less. Sometimes even a "prospect" ha a
good Idea of valueless land, and one of
these wise ones waa being filled wltn
the "hot air" of a locator and made tne
remark, relating to a man who was
digging, plowlrur and piling stone on
a lava ledge, "the owner would prob
ably raise some rock and rye."
From here I will go to the railroad
towns above-7-or rather below, for
north here Is down. I will stop at
Hlllraan. Opal City and Culver. Frdra
there ths trip Is uncertsln.
