CENTRAL OREGON REACHED
Long Hauls and Hazardous Stage Trips
Superseded by Freight and Pas
senger Trains
The construction of the Ore
gon Trunk Railway from Fall
bridge, Washington, the junction
between it and the North Bank
Road (Spokane, Portland & Se
attle Railway) on the Columbia
river to Madras and other points
in Central Oregon, which has
been opened to traffic during the
year 1911, has given this great
section the first possibility for
developmnt a-ong agricultural !
and other directions on an eco
nomical basis. The long over
land haul of grains and other
products, the long drives of stock,
and the tedious and sometimes
hazardous stage trips, have been
superseded by the passenger and
freight transportation over a
splendid railroad, constructed
under the most exacting engi
neering orders of today.
The Oregon Trunk Railway is
an integral part of the great sys-1
tern of railways composed of the i
North Bank Road, the Spokane &
Inland Empire Railway, the'
Great Northern and Northern
Pacific Railways, and the Bur- j
lington Route. These lines con-!
nect Central Oregon directly with
all the important centres of the(
North Pacific Coast, the Inland
Empire, including Butte, Helena,
Denver and Cheyenne, the great
valleys of the Missouri and Mis
sissippi rivers, and the basin of
the Great Lakes. It will be seen
at a glance that this means im
mediate contact with such cen
tres as Omaha, Kansas City, St.
Paul, Chicago and St. Louis,
where direct connecting lines
reach all points lying east of
them.
The colonization of the North
west comes from the territory
directly upon and tributary to
these lines. Extremely favorable
passenger fare conditions are
maintained by them for the en
couragement of such colonization.
Each spring and fall low one
way fares are in effect from all
points east of the Rocky moun
tains to Central Oregon, which
allow homeseekers and investors
to reach this territory econom
ically. On the first and third
Tuesdays of each month during
the year low round-trip fares are
in effect from the central west
to this territory which permit
those interested in investigating
its resources to make the trip on
a low basis.
Throughout the summer re
duced round-trip fares are in ef
fect east of the Rocky mountains
to the North Pacific coast cities,
with stop-over privileges at Fall
bridge, at which point the great
stream of summer tourists may
take advantage of side trips to
Central Oregon, where the can
yon, river and- mountain scenery
will more and more attract tin's
class of travel, as the grandeur

FARMERS JUBILANT
OVER CROP PROSPECTS
Early Fall Rains Assure Bumper Crop
for Next Season Many Turning to
Diversified Farming
Loucks Bros.
R. A. Harvey, one of the pros
perous and well known rachers
residing on the Little Plains a
few miles from town was trans
acting business here the first of
the week. Mr. Harvey is farm
ing nearly 400 acres and is very
much encouraged at the nros
pects of a bumper crop of wheat
lor next season. He says he
has 100 acres of fall wheat plant
ed which has already attained a
height of several inches. The
early rains this fall did an im
mense amount of good for the
J armors who depend on the wint
er moisture for an assured cron.
From every corner of this larire
district the farmehs are jubilant
over the present prospects and
they anticipate the largest cron
of grain in years.
Many of the farmers are turn
ing their attention more to small
farming, raising poultry, veget
ables and livestock. Before the
railroads diversified farming was
scarcely thought of, the ranchers
planting all their tillable land to
grain. Now that the large mar
kets on the outside are of easy
access, poultry ana vegetables
are raised on a large scale and
shipped over the railroads. Those
who are farming on the latter
scale say the profits are much
greater than 'raising wheat exclusively.
