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.
