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

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

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

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

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

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

(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

DEATH WATCH IS NO MORE
Condemned Men to Be Placed in
Separate, Isolated Cells.
BUTTE. Mont, Aug. 20. 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.
