OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COuKTY
OoraUiB, Nov. 26, '80.
W. B. CARTBR,
SAVE M FROM MY FRIENDS.
Portland at present is very much
fn the same plight in which many an
early settler in a new country has
found himself. Such an one has en
tered, and built himself a house,
brought in stock, cleared and fenced
some land round, ami has prospered,
until his possessions, as he flattered
himself they were, spread over the
whole land and he dreamed it was all
his own. Hh) eye ranged over the
wide prospect, and from the river to
the mountains he saw no land but
his, and his Cattle pastured at will.
He troubled not his soul about title,
for said he, I have built and own the
road and the bridge ; possession is
niue points of the law; no one can
no one shall, venture to settle and
erowd me out of my domain.
But the country is good, and open
to settlement, and the first comer
has to endure to see neighbors come
in, take up their homesteads, divide
ud the free ranc, and share with
him the enjoyment of the land.
There are two ways in which he
can take it. The first is, thank God,
infinitely the more usual in the great
free United States. The new comer
is welcomed he finds lodging and
help with the first settler. A free
hearted and generous hospitality is
offered him. He is shown the boun
daries ; the best spot for the new
house is pointed out ; hay and seed
is lent him ; the supplies are freely
shared. The firt settler smothers
"the instinctive jealousy he feels at,
what seemed at first a trespass on his
rights ; he calls to mind the society
and companionship he will get; he
thinks of the church and school that
will now be possible ; he dwells in
his mind on the better market open
ing for his surplus products; 'he re
joices that the country 'will be built
up, for in it he has fixed his home,
and he glories in its progress.
A churl deals differently. He turns
his back on the tiew comer in the
road, and closes on him the door of
bis house and barn. Sullenly he
broods over the solitary lordship now
gone forever. The very sight of his
new neighbor raises his unholy anger.
He dislikes the look of his face ; he
ridicules his belongings ; he rejoices
in every fall and disappointment he
meets; he glories in the news that
his wheat is rusted, his potatoes dis
eased, his cow dying, his she-p hav
ing the scab, his children sick. He
will do all he can to daunt and dis
courage him ; he will misrepre-ent
the country to him, and run it down;
if he can he will bring his distant
creditors down on him. In every
way he will strive to drive him away
on his road, and will not breathe
freely until he has seen the last of
the white cover of the wagon which
bears away the intruder to a more
hospitable spot.
Which of these two parts docs
Portland play ? But no, we recall
the word. Many of Portland's citi
zens, we know, have the manliness,
the magnanimity, generously to desire
the growth, development and pros
perity of our whole State. They
have a noble pride in seeing others
recognize the value of the country
they have made their home. Let
Oregon flourish is their motto as well
as ours, and they stop not to jingle
the dollars in their pocket and think
if thsre will be one the less if other
cities prosper, if other stores be built,
and Commerce thrive in other streets
than theirs. Unfortunately for "them
they have allowed people of kin to
the jealous and greedy settler to
usurp the place of spokesman and
representatives; and thus they are
judged by the unscrupulous outpour
ings which disgraced the Oregon
Senate in the person of the President,
and have recently been aired in the
columns of the Oregonian.
On the 16th inst. the Oregonian
published the report of an interview
between one of their ''representatives"
and Mr. I. S. Polhomus, the engineer
who has just surveyed the Jaquina
bar and bay. What is therein the
account tojustify the malicious sneer
at "all who had hoped to see Yaquina
Bay a prominent sea port ?" Is our
hope and confidence to be treated as
a shadow which has necessarily faded
away now that light has been thrown
on it ? Are we to put all by on the
bidding of a paragraphist ? Is not
this very report, even when present
ed in the yellow light of the Oregon
tan, a strong justification for all the
effort mxde for the improvement of
the entrance io the harbor in qnes-
tion ? Is this broad deep channel,
2000 feet wide nnd more, that we
now read of, to be identified with the
muddy ditch with not enough water
to float a salmon of which we have
heard so 'much ?
Mark another thing. "Heretofore,''
ays tire Oregonian of the 19th inst.,
'the amount of wheat raised in Ore.
'on and Washington Territory h;is
been an unknown quantity until after
all cereals had been loaded into ships
at this port." But now a sudden
iml suspicious activity is developed,
and the Oregonian is sending about
the State and even telegraphing in
in the reckless extravagance of a
new convert, to find out how stands
the crop for this year. The enter
prize and zeal of our great organ is
roort commendable. We welcome
this noble and disinterested earnest
ness to follow in the footsteps of oui
Albany friends, the results of whose
labors was published on the 11th of
this month. But how is it that it
never occurred to the Oregonian be
fore to collect and furnish this most
valuable information ?
The Albany letter reached their
office on the 8th of November, and
on the 9ih all the officials of the O
R. & N. Co. and of the other exist
ing Railroad Companies are set to
work. Strange, is it not, that there
should be a discrepancy of over a
million centals in the results ? and
that this should be in the direction ol
discrediting the figures of the Oregon
Pacific prospectus? Stranger still
that the Oregonian should start with
the expressed intentiou of ascertain
ing the amount of wheat raised, and
also the exact number of centals of
last season's harvest for export, and
then as the total result give the num
ber of centals of-wheat stored now at
various warehouses, and leave out
the mills entirely, and also the large
percentage still in the farmers' hands?
What account would any average
judge and jury give of a witness who
so mistook, distorted, or suppressed
the truth ?
EXAMINER REVIEWED.
Mr. Eoitor : The review of the
Oregon Pacific R. R. Company by a
person claiming to have no other in
terest than that of a "citizen of Ore
gon in preventing misleading state
ments from going about without con
tradiction to do injury to legitimate
enterprises in our State," would have
much more force if the writer had
signed his name, the question of even
citizenship might have been settled,
and the reason ami urgency of using
so much valuable space in the Daily
Oregonian, (generally objected to by
that paper) would have been explain
ed. Without going over senseless
comments in detail on the franchises
of the Company, it is enough to no
tice what is said of the character of
the Company's lands, worthless he
savs "for the reason that the bulk of
these lands represent a mountainous
and mostly unsurveyed wilderness,
not susceptible of cultivation, and
aflord no more promise of business
than the great sage bush plains did
twenty years ago." It is perfectly
astonishing how a man desiring to
correct 'misleading statements' should
use such language as this, for when
did the U. S. Government make a
land grant to any company of un
sukveyed land ? is it not the one
thing actually necessary to first sur
vey all government land before title
can pass to either individuals or cor
porations. And no Oregonian will
deny that the sage brush plains of
Eastern Oregon 10 years ago was a
stock range, considered entirely use
less for agricultural purposes, and he
will as. readily acknowledge that to
day Eastern Oregon is the rival of
the Willamette Valley in producing
cereals. "Examiner" says the O. &
C. R. R. "have many millions of
acres, but have found their lands al
most unsaleable for the same reasons."
"Unsurveyed" of course. Now the
truth is that Company is asking $2. 50
to $5.00 per acre-for their lands, and
only because they are like the Ore
gon - Pacific's lands, far away from
the means of reaching a market are
they unsalable. "Examiner" dips his
pen deep in the ink of falsehood when
he says "No 30,000 passengers, but
not half that number have travelled
in one year so far between Western
Oregon and California, and secondly,
the total inward and outward freight
business has never reached 300,000
instead of 414,000 tons." Without
statistics at hand, I submit to all can
did men the extreme improbability of
three steamboat and tour railroad
lines running north and south as
stated by "Examiner" through the
Willamette Valley, doing a profitable
business on such a meager showing.
Not wishing to use a harsher term,
another falsehood is the statement
made that "instea .1 of 17.50 per ton
from Albany or Corvallis to S. F., as
stated in the prospectus, the steam
boat rates to Portland and steamship
rates from Portland together have
not exceeded $3.50 per ton during
the present shipping season." Had
"Examiner" been really anxious to
tell the truth he would have read the
Daily Oregonian containing his re
view, and there found the rates of
the 'Independent (cheap) line," Z. J.
Hatch, agent, to be $325 per ton
from Corvallis to Porthxnd, and it is
as well understood that steamship
rates from Portlaud to S. F. are $3.00
per ton, with the privilege and dan
gerous opportunity of increasing said
rates at any time. He was very care
ful not to mention that the eastside
road costs the farmer 40 cents per
ton to transfer freight from the east
to the west side, and he was equally
guarded in not saying the narrow
guage lines had one extra handling
from cars to steamer at Dayton, and
50 cents per ton to pass the locks,
all of which will be saved by the
Oregon Pacific's route. Nothing
short of experience will teach such
one-sided narrow-minded mortals as
"Examiner" that the traveling public
will prefer to ride in a comfortable
car in the direction of San Francisco
to Yaquina Bav, from which point
they can reach that city by steamer
in another 36 hours. this will Oe
done; every line of established road
running north and south will connect
with the Oregon Pacific, and every
mile south of Portland is in the direc
tion of San Francisco. Can as much
be said for the first 110 miles on the
present route from Portland. In
admitting 16 feet of water on Ya
quina bar the writer only missed the
truth bv two feet, his attention is
called to the fact that ocean steam
ers of 2200 tons burden enter and
depart regularly, loaded, from ports
on t he bout hern Coast where t he best
depth of water is only 12 feet ? But
Yaquina bar can be improved, "it is
a reel, not a shifting sand bar," and
has a harbor inside five miles long
with better Mater for commercial
purposes than'cari be found along the
citv front of Portland. The real ani
mus of the review crops out in this:
"Independent of the momentum
given to traffic in a northward direc
tion by the course of the Willamette
river, and the existing four railroads
within the limits of its valley, the
proposed undertaking of the Oregon
Pacific will also imply the neenssity
of overcoming the controlling influ
ence of the city of Portland, the
commercial emporium of the whole
State, where all the large banks and
all the leading commercial firms in
every branch of trade. are concentrat
ed. Every bushel of wheat, and other
products growing in the Slate is
bought and sold and shipped by
Portland merchants."
The "controlling influence of the
city of Portland?" Thank God and
the wisdom of the capitalists who
have studied Oregon geography to
some purpose, this influence is no
longer a thing to dread or fear. For
1-6 year? this influence has stood
armed against the development of
any interest not immediately con
nected with the "commercial empo
rium." And such an "influence;"
who was it fought Foulweatiier as a
site for the Harbor of Refuge? and
when Port Orford was selected,
undertook by representing the shoal
ing of Columbia Bar, to obtain the
appropriation, and by so doing raised
the rates of insurance, and caused a
scarcity of shipping, thus making a
serious hardship on the whole Stale ?
Who was it that sent a press dispatch
to S. F. after the Mary S. Ames re
turned to Astoria, that she had been
ordered back to "enter Yaquina even
if lost in the attempt;'' it was some
of the desperate work of that "eon
troling influence," "Examiner" so
kindly intimates as a serious thing to
overcome. The people of Oregon
have probably been here as long as
you have "Examiner," and you can
tell them-nothing concerning an "in
fluence" they have seen, heard, felt
ami tasted lo, these many years.
"Every bushel of wheat,", he says,
"is bought and sold by Portland
mehants;'' true, and a curse on the
t hrift of the Si ate that it is true,
wheat being the great staple crop of
Oregon. ' Even the limited senses of
"Examiner'' will admit it were better
to have competition in a trade of
such vast importance; better to have
two ports than one to ship from.
"Examiner" will wake up to "the
fact some day in the near future
that "banks and healthy commer
cial firms" can do a fair and re
munerative business and reside out
side of the corporate limits of the
"commercial emporium of the whole
State." R. A. Bensell.

THE CROOKED RIVER VALLEY.
A Letter Descriptive of tlsat Country
Written by an Old Settler.
Prineville, Wasco Co., 1
Nov. 8, 1880.
Mb. C. H. Stewart:
Dear Sir: I received your letter of
the 24th ult,aud will now answer
the questious to the best of my abili
ty. Iu the first place commencing at
the foot of the Cascade Mountains
and running in an easterly direction,
passing Cache Creek, Squaw Creek,to
the Great Deschute River (the length
of which is two hundred miles, and
the average width 200 feet) there is
not much farming land, but it is
highly adapted to stock raising, as
all the country is covered with the
finest of bunch grass. Anywhere
you wish to stop on the river yon
have a good stock ranch, for the
country for a hundred miles both
north, south and east is covered with
the finest sort of grass and under
browse for cat'.le and horses. Also
the numerous clusters of junipers
afford a shelter that is actually better
than a barn, for it never gets muddy
under foot. I have been here eleven
years, and I think the average depth
of snow is 2 inches. Sometimes for
two mouths in winter there is no
snow at all, but other times the snow
falls about 8 inches deep, and then
comes the "chinook" or warm south
west coast wind, which takes , it all
off" except on the north side of the
hills. In the winter the stock goes
back on to what we call desert land,
where the grass is reserved in sum
mer for them in winter, not by being
fenced, but for the reason that in
summer there is no water, but in
winter it is plenty, and for this reason
there will be plenty of grass on these
places for fifty years or longer. Stock
raisers have but very little use for
other thai) the natural feed that is
tree for every man.
Wheat never has been worth less
than a dollar a bushel, and sometimes
twice that amount. There are num
erous little valleys in every direction
that jre very fertile for all the small
grains and grasses. All the hardy
vegetables do well here, and in many
places all kinds are raised. From
the Deschutes River you pass over
12 miles of country that is literally
covered with grass, juniper timber
and plenty of browse for stock in
winter. Then you are at the lower
end of Crooked River valley, Which
is about 75 miles long and extends
almost due east and west. This is a
beautiful valley with little or no tim
ber in it, with the exception of wil
lows along the river. The average
width of this river is 100 feet. It
gets very low in summer and autumn,
but high in the spring, but not high
enough to interfere with bridges.
Now comes the stock country on the
south of this river, and along its en
tire length is one line of hills and
plateaus thickly covered with bunch
grass of the best quality. Every few
miles comes in a creek from the high
lands back on either side. On these
streams from head to mouth, with
few exceptions, are good farming
lands. At this time there are hun
dreds of thousands of acres of good
land lying idle, waiting for the indus
trious farmer to fence and plow and
raise grain on. But what is the use?
There is no market for rain except
in limited quantities, as we have no
facilities for shipping to the outride
world. The consequence is that if a
man doesn't have money enough to
go into the stock business he won't
come here at all. Peace was made
with the Indians here only two years
ago, and families have been alraid to
settle, but they are now coming in to
a considerable extent. The one great
trouble here is to get our supplies.
When a man with a large family has
to go 160 and sometimes 200 miles
to mill and do his trading, what is the
use of settling in such a country. If
we had a railroad somewhere on the
coast west of here, and running east
so as to connect with some of the
through lines i would open up thous
ands of good farms and homes.
As soon as it is a settled fact that
the Oregon Pacific will be built, just
whisper the tidings that there is such
a country as thi, and only lying
across the mountains from the Wil
lamette Valley, and there will be
such a stream of emigration across
the Cascades as was never before
seen. The famous Palonse country
will never be heard of again. Our
soil is just as productive as theirs,
and our climate a great deal milder,
but they have transportation and we
have not. Give us a railroad and we
are satisfied ; it is all that is needed
to make this one of the most prosper
ous localities on the coast. Within
a year after the completion of a rail
road to this locality, the people over
in your section will be surprised at
the vast amount of grain received
from here. Your whole valley and
the Sound country will be supplied
with slock from here. As it is now
we have to drive our fat cattle from
one to two hundred mjles in the
winter to find a market, and by the
time we get them there they are
poor. Give us a railroad and we can
ship oar fat slock 500 miles to mar
ket and afford to sell cheapergtharj
those who live iu your valley. We
do not have to feed at all. We
mark and brand a calf, turn him out
on the range and when he is four
year old sell him for $20 cash net
profit about $17. Does that pay?
Give us facilities for getting to a
better market, and it will pay better.
Our whole country is either the
best of farming or grazing land, and
if a railroad is run through it every
acre will be worth from $10 to $100.
Nearly all the land belonging to the
Cascade Mountain Wagon lioad Co.
iu this section is of the very best, and
as it is not now for sale it retards
the settlement of the country very
much. It would be very valuable In
case a railroad should run through
here, and as it is now, without a
railroad, I would willingly pay the
eompany $5 per acre for all that I
am able to buy.
As you go east from here along
the line of the military road the val
leys get a great deal larger, the soil
more productive, the climate milder,
and the timber is of belter quality,
and there is more of it, and the coun
try is capable of sustaining a very
large population, but without a rail
road it will always have to be devot
ed exclusively to stock raising.
Hoping that I have i ot trespassed
too much on your patience, I remain
Yours as ever,
