TOE SUNDAY OREGONIA?, PORTLAND, AUGUST 21, 1921 REDMOND, LIVE AND PROSPEROUS OREGON CITY, NOW SPORTING METROPOLITAN AIRS Town Flantcd Amid Fertile Fields Is Making Steady and Substantial Growth Conditions in District Gen erally Favorable to Agriculture, Which Makes for General Welfare. I .. ...V -S - "- -: ; ' 'i-i::v::?::": i:':::.-i-i- " Vi-;- 7 3Hr :::.i:.; BY ADDISON BENNETT. IIERE are mighty few cities In the northwest experiencing: more prosperity or attaining: metro politan airs more rapidly than the little city of Redmond. The young city Is making: a steady and substan- I tial growth and the newly-acquired citizens are of a fine class. And the came is true of the suburbs and en virons. I The townsite of Redmond is level land and for quite a distance in every direction it is the same. It is a natu ral clover section and the clover and alfalfa cover the ground right up to the sidewalks of the city. Redmond Is not on the Deschutes river, as many suppose. In fact, after getting out of the canyon near the confluence of the Peschutes and Metolius rivers, there are no towns on the Deschutes except Bend and Tumalo. The Deschutes is about three miles west of Redmond and a good road from Redmond west to the town of Sisters crosses the river there at Cline'js falls, a fine power site. This same road runs from Sis ters over the McKenzie pass to the "Willamette valley. This road puts Redmond in close touch with the Sis ters country. .. Many Improvements Made. Many improvements have lately been made In Redmond.' One of the most important is the establishment of permanent county fair grounds just couth of the city. The last legislature appropriated J2000 toward the 1921 fair and the citizens of the county have made these improvements. Con sequently there is a fine race track, a larpe grandstand ana a fine exhibition building, also stables and sheds for race horses and stock exhibits. It will be one of the finest equipped fair grounds in the state when the fair this fall is held. As Redmond is less than two miles from the eastern line of Deschutes county, the fair will draw largely from Crook county, es pecially from the Powell Butte sec tion. Another Improvement that makes the hearts of Redmondites glad is the great high school building which is nearly completed and will be ready for occupancy this fall. This will be one of the largest, handsomest and best-equipped structures for school purposes in any of the small cities in Oregon, better than those in most places three or four times as large as Redmond. The town has always bad fine schools. Last season so many high school pupils came from sections too far away to make the daily trip to school and back, even with a "Liz zie" or a regular auto, that the town could not accommodate them. So the citizens went down into their pockets. dug up JIO.OOO and erected a dormi tory with kitchenette 'attachments equipped it for 30 young women and every room was occupied, so that ad uitlons now will be required. Farms Are Well Tilled. Redmond is surrounded by well tilled farms. You will find the best in the county in that vicinity and the ot prosperous. The principal crop! potatoes, clover and alfalfa and of- course, all sorts of vegetables. The oltvtude at the depot there is 2937 feet, 6:il feet below the Bend elevation. Very little loss is occasioned by late spring or early fall frosts in that neighborhood. It Is found that the new Grimm alfalfa Is practically lm rnune from frost there, and probably n other seed will be hereafter used in that .section of Oregon. But there is a great shortage of seed, tbs d . mand being away ahead of the supply J lie price last year was 7a cents a raund. 'There are a good many dairy cows exound Redmxjcd and almost univer sally they are of high grade. Indeed, there are many head of registered etock Uolsteijis Guerpseja and Jer t iKsr-' - 7j K9BSftBXWjw,'--CVW.:... 5 :::i:::: seys. As to hogs, the Durocs seem to take the lead and they are of good breeding. A flour mill was erected at Red mond last season and it paid a profit to the stockholders the first year of 10 per cent. Another industry Just established is a pencil-wood plant, which is patterned after that at Bend. These plants use the Juniper trees, getting them for nothing by pulling them over and taking the wood they want. A good deal of stovewood is left for the land owner and by remov ing that, burning the brush and roots and filling the shallow places where the trees stood, the land i ready for the plow. This makes it easy for the newcomer to get his farm ready for a crop. Sailor-Farmer Prospers. To show what Industry will do on a small tract of land I will tell of a small tract, 25 acres, about five miles southwest of Redmond. It is not a choice piece of land, being somewhat broken or hilly. It belongs to a man named Ernest Frank. He and his wife have lived on it for about six years. He was a sailor formerly, sailing the seven seas before the mast. He quit that and took up, on lease or rental, a small garden tract near Portland, but I imagine he did not prosper over much. Anyhow, in 1915 he went up to Red mond and bought the present home site. It was all in Junipers, but he soon cleared it and put up a small house and barn. He seeded a part of it to alfalfa, but reserved six or seven acres near the dwelling for a garden. I imagine his robust wife makes a full hand in the growing season, for he sells his product from a wagon in Bend and Redmond. He now has growing the following: Cabbage, tur nips, beets, pole beans, string beans, cauliflower, sweet corn, peas, parsnips, carpts, onions, lettuce, radishes and potatoes. He has sold his early peas, lettuce and radishes. The greatest area is in corn and potatoes, but he has a good many of the hardy vegetables and I think he could safely offer a dollar to any person who would find a weed in any of the patches. Apparently the seeds were all put in singly, even onions, carrots and lettuce. The onions are about an inch apart and he was about ready the day I was there to pull out every third one for the market. A little later ne will thin them again and leave those ripening for the fall trade about six inches apart. Bfii Poles Alno (;row, ' You could never guess how he poles his lima beans! He plants one sun flower seed in each hill and when it ia a foot or so high he sticks in a Tffti if? ft- . ft ' W '7 x PIS & bean. As the sunflower grows he trims off all of the leaves save three at the top and above them is tha disc of a great sunflower, and the beans crawl up the stalk. The day I was there these stalks were about five tjet high and the beans were circled around them for about three feet from the ground. Mr. trann found that he lost a good profit by an occasional light but late spring frost. So he bought 12 garden or orchard heaters and placed them about 20 feet apart with the more tender of the varieties. These stoves are merely a. circular can holding about five gallons, with a pipe some six reet long running up fnom the center. They burn crude oil. and the heat and dense smoke raise the temperature about 14 de grees a distance of some 60 feet from each, but the temperature is moder-l ated for about 600 feet. I saw a patch, pretty small, from which he sold $350 worth of onions last year. He has been selling peas. radishes and lettuce for some time this season, and will have carrots, beets and onions very soon. Mr. Frank says his sales this year will amount to fully $3500, and he is out nothing for labor, merely the upkeep of the house and feed for the horse. However, owing to the fact that he had to ship in his crude oil by the barrel the excessive freight rate ran it up to $14 a barrel. An other season he expects there will be tanks for storing it at Redmond and then it will cost less than $3 a bar rel. He used seven barrels this year, at an outlay of $98, and the stoves cost $3.50 each. They will last many years. Others Can Do LIkevrine. The reader may say this is an ex treme case. Granted, because there are not many Emil Franks. He and his wife have worked as but few people work, and now they are about to come into the'r reward. And any man who comes here and works hard, faithfully and intelligently on his own land can do as well as he has done. This is a wonderful potato country, the Powell butte section probably taking the lead. While that section U in Crook county, its marketing is chiefly done in Redmond, the logical trading center. The potatoes grown hereabouts are now so well known and appreciated in Portland. Seattle ana san rancisco markets that they me nignest price and sell the most readily. But the growers are not slow to see that as seed the Redmond po tatoes have been in Insistent demand: so a trade has grown up in raising certmea seea, ana this year a cood many carloads of this seed will be shipped from here. The shipments were heavy last year and the lowest price received, f. o. b. Redmond, was 92.10 a bushel, while ordinary cooking spuds were bringing $1.20. As a business point Redmond stands vary high, owing largely to the fine stores, large stocks and the foresight and enterprise of the merchants. I have heretofore mentioned the great mercantile establishment of Lynch & Roberts as one of the finest in the state outside of Portland. Theirs is not a general or country store. Their stock is principally dry goods, gro ceries, clothing and notions. Miss Myrtle Butler, who has been with the firm since it sprang into prominence, has charge of the dry goods and women's hats and apparel. Women Well Dressed. It is due to Miss Butler, that is, largely due, that the women of this section are so well dressed and milli nered. for the Lynch & Roberts store, at the instance of Miss Butler, keeps at the head of the fashions at all times. In all departments this firm excels, and it does a . large business, drawing trade from all of the other towns within 100 miles. It takes much produce in trade. Its average egg receipts for June and July were 30 cases, or 900 dozen, per day, and the price paid was -33 cents. That MYSTIC SPELL STILL RESTS ON WATERS OF GRATER LAKE Excursionists of Portland Ad Club See Majestic Object, Center of Indian Tradition Tourist Magnet. ET BEN OTR LAMPMAN. A VERY great while ago, so long. indeed, that the oldest firs of the ' Cascades have forgotten. the Indians of southern Oregon be lieved 'that Crater lake was fre quented by devil spirits 'of singular malice and madness. Time has softened the terror of that tribal tradition, .nd has all but obliterated It along with his savage believers. But the lake, the eternal and im passive, lies cupped within the great bowl of Mount Mazama, and reason able folk may assume, if they choose, that the mystic spell yet rests upon its inimitable waters. Science has explained its being,-but the old awe remains. So the excursionists of the Port land Ad club found it, when, on their tour of southern and central Oregon, with Crater lake as their main ob jective, they motored up to the rim of that titanic old crater, and gazed down the abrupt declivity at the drinking cup of the immortals. On land or sea, or in the sky, for that matter, there is no color like to the blue of the ancient lake of that long stilled volcano. When the artist paints it he does not catch the full majesty of that imperial hue. for the reason that he cannot. He feels, doubtless, his inadequacy, 4iis debt of homage to nature. It is quite likely, for the experience is by no' means unique, that it stirs him as it did Jovial, ruddy-faced Dr. John F. Beaumont, when that worthy medico set his feet firmly on the lava rim and looked for the first time at the gem of the Cascades. Fame for Lake Assured. "I am, sir," said the doctor, "a rough old fellow who has seen some thing of life. It was my belief that I had done with sentiment. Yet when I looked down at that water the tears came into my eyes, and I would not try to stop them. Yes, sir, the tears came into my eyes, end I was glad to feel them for I couldn't express In words the emotion I felt." The 50 or more members of the party, pledged to advertise and fur ther the lake as a scenic resort, re turned with the belief that Crater lake is to become as famed and as popular as the Yellowstone. But as to the problem to which they are pledged they incline to a feeling of personal futility. Advertise Crater lake? Neyer a tourist of the thou sands that visit it, but leaves that venerable volcano and its treasure with letters of marque to cruise about and extol it. And the numbers who come are constantly increasing. The records thus far for the season show a 40 -per cent increase in automobiles making the trip, and a 60 per cent I increase in pilgrims. By August 20 it is estimated that the number of visitors for the -partial season will exceed the total number who came last year. Powerful Magnet Seen. Eric V. Hauser, president of the Crater Lake National Park company, who recently acquired control of the hotel property, and who paid his first visit to the lake as a member of the Ad club excursion, is more than ever a convert to its possibilities as a scenic asset. As chairman of the Crater lake committee of the Port land Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Hauser was drawn into the hotel project rather reluctantly, but now he perceives that the resort is an essential to the development of the state a magnet that will draw tourists by the tens of thousands. And tourists mean settlement in ad dition to incidental revenue to the towns and cities of Oregon. It was the Medford Commercial club that persuaded the Ad club to make the pilgrimage, for the Rogue river metropolis is distinctly inter ested in the development of the re sort. But- each of the cities on the various routes to Crater lake is also beneffited by the attraction Rose burg, Bend, Medford, Klamath Falls, Grants Pass, Ashland, and many others. Going or coming, through these towns pass the Crater lake tourists keen to discover not only the lake itself but the resources of the state. Co-operation Ia Advanced. "It was my first visit to Crater lake," said Mr. Hauser, upon his re turn, "although I have for some months been directly interested in its hotel development for the good of the state. After seeing its beauties and advantages, and realizing the enormous prestige of its encourage ment and support by the national park service, the forestry department and the Southern Pacific railway, I am convinced that the possibilities of hotel and tourist travel development, to make Crater lake one of the most popular resorts in America are with j in the immediate grasp 'of the citi zens of Oregon, and should be taken advantage of at the earliest possible moment. Every dollar that is judi ciously expended In the hotel de velopment of Crater Lake National park is as good and profitable an in vestment as can be made by the peo ple of Oregon.' Good will and enthusiasm met this message at every point touched by the excursionists, in their 1000-mile trip through southern and central Oregon. Indeed, the attitude of these districts toward the lake is one of willing co-operation with Portland and the - new management of the hotel. Plans of the near future in clude a conference with the business men of the several cities directly interested in such development a conference, or series of conferences, that shall determine the steps to be taken. Aid In 1-5 Fair Pledged. With similar enthusiasm the dis tricts visited by the Ad club motor caravan replied to the message of the 1925 exposition. Julius L. Meier. president of the great 1925 fair, was pledged again and again at Medford, at Klamath Falls, at Bend, at Urants Pass, at Roseburg. and at The will give an idea of its immense blsl ness, for it takes eggs only in trade. There are two good banks in Red mond, the First Nations1., I think, be ing the oldest. It has a capital of $25,000. surplus and undivided profits ot $6006.42. Guy E. Dobson is the president and L. S. Roberts cashier. The Redmond National bank has a capital of $25,000 and a surplus of SSfinn. Th. nrpciHant l C. H. Millar and N. A. Burdick is cashier. Both I V. . n 1i . ... nn.n V. n n 1. i n ir V. m , i ' and both are well equipped. About as soon as Mr. Redmond, the founder of the town, had decided to perpetuate his name by lending it to the place, a newspaper was started, called the Redmond Spokesman. It has not always had smooth sailing, aHhough it has been'owned and man aged by various men who knew a good deal about .the business. It was also burned out once. It has had its ups and downs, but Is now sailing smoothly on pleasant waters and has been since it came into the hands of Douglas Mullarky, some three or four years ago. He is getting out a fins raper and doing a big Job business. The Redmond people are proud of the Spokesman and its editor and owner, and both are fixtures in the little city that is sure to grow Into one of the chief trading points in iuterior Ore gon. Dalles the full co-operation of Ore gon. Evidently Oregon feels that this is her own exposition, and that, naturally enough, Portland is merely entrusted with its direction. At Bend the local speakers voiced a single gentle criticism of the manner in which the exposition is announced. They would, they sajd, prefer to have it heralded as "Oregon, 1925." Returning to the lake, however, and for the purpose of correcting a mis conception that would wring the heart of Walton, it should be said that the trout of Crater lake have been grossly slandered. It is true that a scarcity of food in the great crater, its waters 20-00 feet in depth. nave given to those same trout a somewhat lean and hungry look. They are rustlers, perforce, and fighters, who never need to train down. The shimmer of a spoon blade, twirling over their lairs in the lava flank of v izard island, will rouse them to deeds of valor. They strike the spinner as zestfully as only hungry fish know how, and, being hooked. they leap time and again from those marvelous depths to give the sun a chance to glint upon their silver mail, and, incidentally, to shake the barb. "Bob" Neighbor Is Happy. Bob" Neighbor, tolling up the trail, with the late afternoon sunshine increasing the rigors of that ascent, is perspiring but happy, it is a long mile to the rim and his room, but he dangles three- mighty trout, the least of two pounds weight. And he stops to narrate the story of their capture. the various leaps and rushes and stratagems by which they sought to remain at the old home place. The boatman, he says, lost one that must have weighed four pounds. You feel for the boatman. His is such a sor row as never dims. At dinner hour, with the logs blazing in the huge fireplace, that trio of trout again rerute the reputation that has been foisted upon them and their clan. They are trout "as is." trout superla tive, and the memory lingers. Is it possible for the folk lore of the tribesmen to become modernized, reduced to prosaic standards, and thus insured of survival? Time was the Indians say, when the spirits that dwelt in the lake considered it their own peculiar province, a sort of primeval donation claim from providence. Do they still hold of right those ancient waters and tre mendous palisades, together with the odd and colorful flowers that find food in the cold ashes, of Mount Mazama? If you were" to put this question to J. C. English, who drove his car on the 1000-mile circuit of scenery, he would tell you that, after 11, it is an interesting, if not a plausible, theory. . In so doing he would speak from the page of strange experience. Red-Faced Man . "KVpowa," Midway of Grants Pass and Med ford, his car taking the pavement at the precise mileage allowed by law Mr. English passed two plodders, dusty and travel wearied a tubby. red-faced man with a squint eye, and a, slight, dark woman, whose tongue tne cat unquestionably had, for she said never a word of greeting or parting. 'Have a ride?" he hailed them, 'Sure!" replied the red-faced man. with enthusiasm. "Where are you going?" Nowheres in particular," answered the male passenger. "Medford today and somewheres else tomorrow. We live in Oakland, but whenever we feel we want a breath of fresh air we Just strike out, her and me, and walk and ride, and walk and ride. We been out more than a month now." It was at Central Point, where a fellow passenger left the car, that this singular tourist, with his squint eye rolling solemnly, vouchsafed such Information as may , or may not be of great interest to those that cherish and inscribe the traditions of old Mount Mazama, who blew her head off in a fit of choler a million years ago. Someone spoke of Crater lake and the red-faced man roused from hi-s musing, to lean confidentially toward the alighting passenger. "Say," he volunteered, "I knew the man that there lake was named after.1 This was amazing beyond words He was pressed for particulars. Did he, really? "You bet!" he asserted. "Old Man Crater: I knew him well. I knew the whole family of 'em." Family History Held. "Well, I'll be hanged! And where are they now "Oh, they live up around the lake Funny thing about them Crater folks they ain't none of 'em got neither fingers nor toe. The car snored into gear again and was off, bearing with it the squint eyed one and his reticent companion, Somewhere over yonder he and she are taking a breath of fresh air, thousand miles or more before them on the road to "anywheres." They and they alone hold the uqusual fam ily history of the Justly celebrated Crater folks. Leaving Portland on Friday morn ing, August 12, the excursionists mo tored to Roseburg, . arriving there that night. The following day they proceeded to Grants Pass and Med ford, inspecting at. Savage rapids the huge irrigation dam project that is to water 12,000 acres of Josephine county lands. From Bedford the party proceeded to Crater lake where they spent an afternoon and night before departing for Klamath Falls. Then followed the trip north ward through the Deschutes national forest to Bend, and the return by way of The Dalles. Roads In Good Condition. In general, they found the roads well provided with signs and in fairly good condition.

The water from the Little White Salmon is raised 20 feet by a dam at the upper end to fill the first unit of the flume. More than 1. BOO. 000 feet of lumber will be used in building the flume. The boxes and brackets are made and the braces and other timbers cut at the mill at Willard to make a mini mum of sawing and fitting for the flume construction crew. A gate in the flume box at the point of each day's operations lets the water through and catches the material sent down from the mill. When completed, the flume's first function will be to fill a natural basin of several acres at Hood, ad jacent to the milling plant to be erected there. Down the miniature wooden canal will then travel logs. PARTY THS NEW ROAD JIEKCHAXIS OF SOUTH BEXD MOTOR TO XASELLE. Valley Opened by Ocean Beach Highway Is Visited by First Conrraercial Delegation. SOUTH BEND, Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.) The first delegation of business men from any place to visit the Naselle valley was made up of 40 South Bend merchants and their families. The clan gathered at the Commercial club at 7:30 A. M. Tues day and an early start made. The new Ocean Beach highway was in fine shape, except for a spot between Nemah and. the Naselle river, where, to the surprise of Supervisor Johnson, local road workers had sluiced and plowed up a section of the road. Mr. Johnson made it passable by using brush and poles. The Naselle river end of the road Is freshly graveled and the going is somewhat hard, but the trip both ways was made without mishap. At the Naselle ferry landing the launch Alvlna was waiting and a delightful trip up the sceneic Naselle river was made. As the party landed they were welcomed by W. W. Moffitt, presi dent of the Civic Improvement League of Naselle; Mrs. S. M. Reeves. Mrs. Thomas O'Connor and others, and also by a delegation consisting of Repre sentative and Mrs. W. N. Meserve.

No death watch will be provided for Steve Byrne and Theodore Chronopolis. who are awaiting execution of the death penalty on the morning of August 26. Frequent requests on the part of Sheriff Larry Duggan that the cus tomary watch be provided have been refused by the county commissioners, it is said. In eliminating the death watch, a precedent of long standing has been broken. As a result of the absence of a death watch, both the condemned men are treated as ordinary prisoners, except that they occupy separate cells in an Isolated part of the jail.
