TITE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX. WEDNESDAY. 3IAT 31. 1911. OPAL COUNTRY IS NOT EASjLf PASSED Town of Culver Is Interesting as an Example of Rapid Growth. COUNTRY IS BEAUTIFUL rat View bhow Well-Cultlvatcd Trrrltorjr and Many Improve mfnU Are Being; Mad bjr Residents There. PT ADDISON BENNETT. CCT.VER. Cook County. Or. May !. (Staff Correspondence. K Tha road from Opel leads from tha town to the seat fir a nll or so. then to th aorta two or three ml Ira back almost to tha foot bm. thence to tha west. Tha foothills scratch up for another couple of miles and :i of this is good land, ona day to be fully as Taluab'.a for an cultural pur pceee as tha level land fw in cultlva tton around tha town. Tha road then rtrtlea around Juntper Butta to tha west and northwest, fallowing; toe general di rection of tha H1U raad. Just bow lone ona remain la tha Opal territory la a disputed question, for off to tha northeast four or five miles from t'ta west point of Juniper Butta, Ilea 1h town of Culver and whichever town nukes th best showing- will fore th dividing- Una towards th other town. flat thsr Is territory enough and to spare and lam amounts of It ara In rrojx Field war pointed out to in that had avaraced over J bushels of wheat to the a-r and this by dry farming-- for thera la no Irrigated land north or Trail Croalne aav to th vast over inwards Prlnevllle and small areas to the north, around Madras. Tha Brat view of what Is called Opal Prairie. In th center of whlrh la located r'ulver. Is ona of a beautiful country, practically level and most of It In cul tivation. It Is an well fenced, th build in, ar snod and a general air of pros perity seems to nans; over alL There ara no mountains adjacent and th farm (and stretch well up to Juniper Butt on th south and Round Top Full to th north. Thea bulte ara soma or 04 ft abov th valley and almost very Inch of thera will ona day be cul tivated and perhaps these tipper benches will produc avsn better crops than tha i alley lands. Calves' H rand-New Town. Ta tha west tha level country reachea over to Crooked River; thre or four miles, and to th aat aa far as tha eyo can carry, with tha IUu Mount Ins as a back around. Rut. of course, there Is much land btwea tha skyline of tha valley and thee mountains. Off to th southeast Is Ortasly Butta and llavstack Butt la adjacent. Culver, generally snkea of as Curver Junction, la on th HUI road. 11 miles south of th Columbia River, and Is to be tna southern terminus of the Harrt man road, which will Jln th Hill road about a half-mil north of town, tha two roarls then using- tha same track to In station. This Is also a union sta tion and th two roads will also us tne same freight depot and platforms. Th Harrlman road Is delaved by tha viaduct over Willow Creek, near Madras, wbera It crosses over th Hill road, but tt la sxpevted trains will reach tha ter minus. Culver, within 3 or 4 days. Just how lone the llrrtman road will end here la one of tha mystertee of rail way construction. Nothing; Is known by th publlo aa to where tha road will lead from Culver. Some ar certain It will soon begin construction to tha east through Prtnevlll and on towards tha Snake, through Harney and Malheur counties. Othera ara lust aa certain that It wilt soon be built to tha eouth to con nect with tha Southern Pacific near Klamath, thus making this tha through passenger rout between Portland and San Francisco, but nobody knows. Th rhancaa ara that It will not be extended this year or next, ale thera would be engtasera and right-of-way men In th field. And If th termtnu remains here fr even a twelvemonth Culver will be one of th moat Important pi ace a In tha county. Culver has fotur lumber yards, two churches, one of which will b dedicated tomorrow, two hotels, a good newspaper, the Peschutea Valley Tribune; a s-honl-house, two general stores, ona of which. that of W. 11. Ilawn. carries a very larse ernck. Tnen there ara th usual assort ment of real estate offices, shops and feed bams, and everything required save a saloon or two. or more. Put th Culver people do not want and will not tolerate a saloon, even one of them, tha vote In this precinct being overwhelm ingly dry. HI Warehouse) Re In Built. Th best way to Illustrate and prove this ts to cite th Instance of th large warehouse now being constructed bere. It was shown sa soon ss the trains be gan running that a warehouse must aoon be provided, but how to get It at tha earliest moment waa a knntty problem. Many wanted to treat with one of th big grain-buying firms In Portland: oth ers thought the better way was to erect a temporary atractur: some thought they would Just hav to wait for some man of means to com alone and help them out. A public meeting was called anj It was ?ectded to attempt to raisa STOuo. which tt was believed would put up a build ing Urge enough for the present, and aver h-lf of this was subscribed on th spot. Then plana were drawn and It maa found a building large enough for future uses, as well ss the present, could be constructed for llO.ooo. and In leas than four days th money was raised. Tha building la now about half done and work la being pushed aa fast aa men ran b found to do the work. Just to the west of Culver, on Crooked River, the Prtnevlll people, tha Incor poration belna known as the Cove pow er Company, are now at work develop ing some 3'-horsepower and from thera currents will be carried to light Madras. Metollus. Culver sad Prvnevlie and fur nish power for other industries. The cap ital la 10.000. But this Is only sa Initial step, only a small portion of tha power that can ba ther developed, just an opening wedge, fitepe hav already been taken to bring a ptpelln from the river her, tha water to ba pumped from Opal fcprinsa. The lift Is only Sis feet and once on the banks of tha Mer the fall t Culver Is 1 feet. Covering Iho Water Problem. In time tha Hill road wlU reach th fteschatea and they Cm a then get water st Bend, aa thev do now below Madras, bv pumping- They cannot us water from Crooked River aa It la alkaline un til It rea.-he Opl Spring. As to t:-. depth to water over long stretches of the ouatrv no man knoaa. but many wrlia have been sunk several hundred feet, many of them dry all tha way down. In otner placea water ks bad at easy depths, M feet and lees. FV t.. ftrst question , ta aasKuaaar should aak If ba ooatem- platea locating- In Crook la about tha water. Crooked River means as much to this section of tha country aa th Pes chutss does to other sections, for It comes essMnc down through th chasms and gorges at a fearful rate, probably with over SOtfA second-feet of water, deep down In these gorges or canyons from liio to l:oa feet. Power! There could b enough power developed on th lower 1 miles to light all of tha towna In th state east of tha mountains. And th very best of th sites ara right at th west of Culver and work actually la being dona to de velop some of them; not In a larga way, but the company ts a strong one. being composed of some of the leading capitalists of Prlnevllln, and they will go forward as there is demand for tlielr power. To coma at tha situation of Culver from another angle I ana not afraid to say that In the coursV of time every foot of tha land In Opal Valley and tha aurroundla; country will ba irrl gated by tha power of Crooked River. Th Culver people ara at work on this propoaltlon now and water to Ir rigate tne whole section csn b secured below Opal Sprliura and put on th land at l"s than ISO an acre! Think of taking the. (in lands. In a high state of cultivation, and watering them lor that sum! This will ba dona, perhaps before tha public Is well awara of It, for such a fine body of land can surely get tha capital to treble and quadruple Its value. It ought to b an easy prop osition to finance and the Culver people ara spending a lot of money in getting tna data ready to present to the pro moters of such enterprises. Excellent Body of Land. As to Culver, with tha surrounding country irrigated thera could ba no question of her supremscy, for thera would not ba a better body of land la Oregon. Remember, the altitude la only H2S feet and all aorta of vegetables and fruits could be grown. In fact. the best farmera are now raisins;' veg stables and setting out orchards. About three niiies to the northwest of Culver, down in the Crooked River -anyon. nearly a thousand feet below Opal Prairie and Culver lies Cov Or chard, which Is ona of the show places of Crook County. William Boegl la tha owner. He haa 111 acres of deeded land and a desert claim of JZ9 acres, and about ti acrea of this Is tillable, tha rest on tha slopes. His cultivated portion la on bench cbout l'0 feet above the river, and It la all Irrigated by gravity flov from the river. Mr. Boegll starts all of his planta ana raises early lettuce, onions snd radishes In one of tha most peculiar notnousea in tha state. Tha heat la maintained by passing around under th piant boxea a stream of water gushing out of tha hillside, tha tem prratuxe being- tha year round de grees, ne Is only using a small Dor Hon of tha water now. but Intends to enlarge the hothouae for the commer cial production of early vegetables. And I took dinner with lire. Boegll. such a dinner aa ona likes to think about for a long time after and think with delight. They have a flna bouse, with every comfort. Telephone wires connect them with tha outside world They ar able to hire the hardest work dona and take life tolerably easy aa easy aa thrifty. Intelligent people care to. Tha acres of tillable land at Cov Orchard ar worth how much? ould It not ba hard to set a value on such land? It would, for every acre can be mada to net liOO a year la the near future. C ulver College Town. I mentioned that Culver has tw churches Ona of them, the First Chris, tian Church, la just ready to dedicate. Key. Samuel Gregg, stste evangelist of tha Christian denomination, assisted by air. and aira v ebn, singing evsnae are her to conduct th services. tlrecr was the mover and promot tne bonding, and also has a parsons about completed, where he will mora than likely hereafter permanently re side, for he Is planning big things for Culver, first ths building of a Christian college. It may seem visionary at the first though to the reader, thia building of a coiiege in an embryo town. If you could talk to Mr. liregg five minutes you would change your mind, for he Is Just as sur Culver Is to be a "college town ss he Is that' It Is now a clean town morally. The coiiege alte ad Joining tha church has been secured, and there ara offers of money suffic ient to give encouragement enough to form a corporation, the Central Oregon Educational Association College being th result. And let It surprise no on to see Cul ver th "college town" of the Interior. SECOND TRIP OF NEIV TRAIN FATAL Engineer and Fireman Are Killed as "Columbian" Is Wrecked at Maiden.
