miles, locally known as Wil
low creek basin, the wheat belt
of Crook comity. " It comprises
the localities designated as
Agency Plains, Little Agency,
Methodist Hill, Sage Brush
'Flat, Haystack, Culver, and La-j
monta, all lying east of the Des-.
chutes river, and bounded on
the south by the Crooked river
and on the north by the range
of basaltic and lava hill3 form
ing the wide plateau of which
Shaniko is the capital.
Practically all of Willow
creek basin has an elevation of
about 2,000 feet. In these 18
townships there are 414,720
acres, fully two thirds of which
is good farm land; even a larger
proportion will be cultivated
whan the land values in this
country make it worth while to
do so. Last year there was in
the neighborhood of 50,000 acres
of land in cultivation, and dur
ing the present year this has
l)een more than doubled; in
i'act, I think that a conservative
estimate would place the acre-'
age this year at about 110,000.
Most of this is planted in wheat,
the balance in oats and barley.
The indications for a big crop in
this section were never better
than this season, until the cold
spell in March, which froze out
the growing wheat so that it
was necessary to reseed. But
even with this damage there
will be more than a million
bushels of grain raised in this
territory.
Just a few figures on the
possibilities of this county, to
give some idea of its possibili
ties. WitU everi two thirds of

4S0 acres, it would, with a small
erage of 10 bushels to the
acre, produce more man oner-
man county. Some who have
been over it say; that there is
fully 700 square miles in the
wheat belt, and that more than
two thirds of it is tillable.
As to the production, it has
been demonstrated beyond a
'doubt that this land is adapted
to wlieat. Thirty bushels of
wheat to the acre have been

Ujuugu yiuuuuiy ii is uio me
thod of farming which Jias im
proved. The past year, which
was the dryest year ever
known here by the oldest resi
dents, crops were almost a com
plete failure, but those old
farmers who had summer-fallowed
their lands got as high
as 23 to 25 bushels to tlie
acre, while in some other coun
ties they did not get one
fourth of that under similar
circumstances.

iracticauy an oi tins coun
try is tributary to Madras. Of
course the business on half
way ground between this piace
and rnneville goes to the lat
ter place, because it is a laiger
town ana better trading point,
but the natural trend of the
business is toward Madras.
This town is situated in the
Willow creek basiji, qt the
month of the gorge up which
the Deschutes railroad will
run. Water is obtained at a
depth of from 18 to 28 feet.
Farther south, across Crook
ed river, is the great irrigation
belt. The Deschutes enterpri
ses alone cover more than 400,
000 acres. Beginning at Bend
almost in town limits, and
stretching on south lor many
miles, is one of, the finest
bodies of yellow pine timber
in the United Slates.
Combined, the irrigation, ag
ricultural and timber possibili
ties are attracting railroad
builders into this great region,
and today four or live raiJroad
surveyiug outfits are engaged
in locating feasible routes
through it. These projects
will next receive attention, '
