Plain who desire to avail them-

that source.
The machinery which was used
in completing the well at Gate
way last week is being trans
ported to this place and set up
readv for operation. The con

for a denth of 1000 feet, and Mr.
Jansen anticipates that it will be
necessarv to drill to a depth o

Since the completion of the
Gateway well, when water
raised from a depth of 210 feet
to within twenty feet of the sui
face, Mr. Jansen said this week
that the water was continuing to
raise, and the water is now sev
eral feet deener than before

Commencing Saturday, John
Lockard begins on his contract
for carrying the mails from the
Oregon Trunk railway at Culver
to Prineville by way of Lamonta;
this being the only route south
from Culver for which the con
tract was awarded. All of the
mail for Bend, Redmond, Sisters
and all of the south part of the
county will go through Prine
ville, and points as far south as
Paisley, in Lake county will he
served over the same route.
This is a daily service anutne
contract price is understood to
have been $2400 per year. The
mail for Grizzly and Haycreek
will be carried from Lamonta
by Ab Craig.
Mr. Lockard also secured the
contract for the six day a week
service on the route established
from Madras .to Youngs. This
will make a direct service from
Madras to that section and avoid
the 430 mile trip that letters be
tween the two points have been
irointr since the railroad service

are making visits to the work to
see how the operation is done.
Mr. Dobkins claims that plowing
can be done in this manner at an
expense of less than 50 cents per
acre. The machine requires four
men to operate it.
Other means than plowing in
the old fashioned way with
horses is attracting the interest
of the farmers in this section to
a considerable degree of late,
and the indications are that the
successful demonstration of plow
ing with the power outfits will
see an increase in the employ
ment of these methods.
Tom Taylor's big Caterpillar
Continued on page 4
On their recent trip through
Central Oregon officials of the
Northern Pacific railway learned
for the first time what advan
tages and what opportunities
that vast, undeveloped interior
empire contains.
They marveled at the rugged
beauties of the Deschutes Can
yon, at the remarkable feats of
engineering necessary to build
the railroad through it to the
productive tablelands above,
then at the wonderful stretch of
agricultural territory which was
the objective point of the rail
construction.
Now that the railroad has been
built more than 100 miles south
from the Columbia river, the
greatest apparent need that im
pressed itself upon the Northern
Pacific men and the Portland
newspaper representatives ac
companying them, is people.
Practical farmers of sound sense
and plenty of experience are
wanted, and the Northern Pacif
ic, which through its half-interest
in the OregonTrunk.Railway
is eager to develop the country,
will aid in bringing them to
Oregon and locating them on
farms in the interior.
Filling a Pullman exhibit car
with Central Oregon products
and sending it out on a tour of
the East in the same manner
that other sections of the North
west have been exploited is now
being considered probable as one
of the means to be adopted to
Win immigration for the territory
tributary to the Oregon Trunk.
Much care will be exercised in
stocking this car, as it is desired
to obtain only such products as
represent the average yield.
Efforts will be made to avoid
freak specimens or present fig
ures of abnormal production. In
this way the possibilities of the
interior can be presented in the
fairest and most accurate man
ner, and immigrants coming to
the state in consequence of see
ing the car cannot be disap
pointed. Great care will be used in
routing the traveling exhibit.
Past experience has demonstra
ted that it i3 not possible to
bring a farmer from a mountain
section to a prairie county and
expect him to be successful. The
reverse rule also is true, and in
tho future efforts will be made
to avoid having farmers from
