THE AWAKENING
Commonting editorially on
th awakening ut Klamath Palls
binco tlio advent of l lit) railroad,
the Oregon iun says in part:
"Klamath Palls reports a
building buoiu, with lumieroits
two aud thioe atoiy brick siruc
tures going up to handle the
buaiiiHba that una tuilowud the
coining oi" tlio inilroad. Prior
to the nine whyn it became a
beitainty that the city was to
be afforded railroad facilities,
business i.i Kiamatii Falls re
liiaiued stationary for yeara.
All other cities and towns in
Una vast region, known as Cen
tral .and Southeastern Oregon,
were also dormant. Thej' will
lemain so until thej' are afford
ed transpoitation facilities, with
which, after long uniting, Klam
ath Fails has Ikimj provided.
"Klamath Palls has a favora
ble location in the heait of a
rich legion, but there are a
dozen other lov.ns and cities in
that isolated region between the
Klamath and the Columbia
which are tqually well located
and. which, like Klamath Falls,
will begin building new brick
business structures as soon the
ja'lroad establishes communi
cation with the outside world.
Theie is not a single locality in
the Pacific Northwest " where a
lailroad has penetrated that has
not btgnn growing aud supply
ing traffic for the railroad as
Boon as the rails were laid. It
is of course folh' to assume that
licit Central Oregon will prove
any exception to this r;tle.f"
Residents of Central Oregon
appreciate how fully the. Ore
gosian's statement summarizes
thi situation in this railroad les
l'gion. Development H going
nh-al, but it is necesaaiilj'
making- prog! ess slowly, the
whole ' problem being one of
transportation As an instance,
.the wheat growers of this sec
tion have in the past two 3Tears
tpaid out an average of one
third the value of their grain to
'get it hauled to the railroad,
.and with a handicap like that,
it is a line tribute to the coun
try if the farmers can hold their
own. With adequate transpor
tation facilities, enabling them
lo market their products cheap
)y, there will be a great awak
ening throughout Central On-
t ... '
WHAT IB PORTLAND DOING"?
Bend Bulletin
. Undoubtedly we shall have
..transportation. Timber and
Wheat conditions vide Mr. Hill
w
i-alone insure that. But how,
-when and whence will it come?
jfrorth, South or West? The
generously distributed surveys
jnake an unequalled picture
,)uzzle--we want it solved. And,
inore.important yet, are those
,who should be .chieflyinterest
d definitely aiding in the solv
ing of the "puile"? It is to
Portland that we venture to ad
dress this qnery.
, The people of Central Oregon
.ma' well ask if the commercial
organizations of Portland are
floing their bpst lo put pressure
-that of dollats and cents
.iippn the "powers that be' in
,in effort to mnlce them take
,aotion toward tapping this huue
Aindeveloped area, and thus ob
vj'jtin for their city the enormous
ueiness that our resourcefc Will
ultimately afford. If Portland
is too short-sighted to put her.
shoulder to the wheel in ade
quato fashion, it seems that
there is a city in California
whose business men are alive
to the possibilities of the situation.
THE. DRY FARMING AGE
Frequent reference is made
to this as the "irrigation age,"
but it is no less truly the age
of dry farming. Some idea of
the magnitude of the movement
may be gained from the fact
that within the past five years
more than 10,000,000 acres of
arid land in Colorado alone
have been brought under dry
farming, to the tremendous en
richment of that state. Wyo
ming, Montata aud other states
in the arid region are also wit
nessing the rapid conversion of
the gieat "American Desert"
into pioductive farms and pros
perous homes through the
agency of dry farming.
Dry tanning, in its broadest
application, means the. science!
o. fanning with a minimum of
moisture. It means the appli
cation ot certain principles
learned from years of experi
ments, by which in regions of
deficient rainfall the moisture
is stored in the soil instead of
being allowed to run away or
evaporate. It may be said to
be the new tcience of agricul
ture, and that it is tauing an
'important part in the develop
ment of the West is amply evi
denced by "the fact that as the
result of dry farming thousands
of happ3r and prosperous homes
exist today upon land which a
few years ago was considered
absolutely worthless. One en
thusiast says it will play an
important part during the next
10 3'ears in equallizing land
conditions, for it will give poor
people all over the land a
chance to break through the
world-wide land .monopoly and
become tillers of the soil as
owners and not as serfs and
tenantH doomed to peipetual
bondage.
A NEW SUGGESTION
James J. HiU, while in Port
land recently, said that sooner
or later Central Oregon would
have a railroad iu order to
transport its wheat supply to
the markets outside the county;
and that if Harriman did not
build it somebody else would.
Hill is a far-sighted man, and
this paper thinks his words are
prophetic. Even Harriman may
be induced to build into this
territory, but if the does he will
never select the Deschutes can
yon rou'e of 110 miles to the
wheat belt when it can be
reached in a little more than 30
miles down the Matoles. Prine
ville Review.
No one can hereafter ques
tion the originality of the Re
view editor. After all that has
been said about railroads in
Central Oregon, it remains for
him to suggest an entirely new
route. Aud the Matoles route
possesses one feature none of
the others can boast of. It iB a
water-level route standing on
end.
TIMELY SHOWERS
Several good showers of rain
iu the past two days have done
much to improve the crop pros
pects in this end of the county.
There had been extremely warm
weather in the past 10 days or
two weeks, and the drouth was
beginning to punish the grain
severely in some quarters. The
rains yesterday aud the day
before were timely, and will
save a large acreage that wae
beginning lo show the effects of
the long drouth.
The term "spotted" probably
better than my other describes
the ctmd'ltjou of the crops iu
thin district, for in some in
stances tlie prospects for a big
crop were, uever t better than
they are now', while in othors'j
and in many iiiBtnncea on ad
joining land the prospects aro
not good. However, there is
going to be a good deal of grain
produced in the Madras cottn
try this year, aud the present
outlook is that the price will be
the best over paid for grain in
this suction.
A SAFE AND SANE FOURTH
Madias will undoubtedly en
joy a quiet Fourth of July this
year as no preparations are be
ing made to celebrate the day
at this place. For several years
the community has donned its
gala attire and celebrated the
Nation's natal day, but the cus
tom has defaulted this year, as
no attempt has been made to
arrange a celebration. Prepa
rations are being made in one or
two other towns in the county
for big celebrations of Indepen
dence Da', with all its accom
paniment of noise and strenu
ousness, and the residents of
this section who desire to cele
brate will doubtless find ample
opportunity to do so iu neigh
boring communities. Some may
prefer to lemain at home and
for a change, enjoy a "safe aud
sane Fourth." To those of this
mind Madras will doubtless af
ford a haven of quiet and rest.
