NO. 36. “Big Sticky.” The soil is of an adobe nature and very hard to till; but, nev ertheless, is a wonderful grain pro ducer. Along the foothills in this belt of adolie soil the growing of fruits proves successful, and there remain UiousandH of acres of this land which in time will be plauted to fruit. While the liili laud produces grain and fruits there lie benoath its surface large aud valuable deposits of coal, iron and copper. The "Big Sticky” country extends to the east and northeast from throe to six miles, while many hamlets dot the hills aud small valleys beyond. To the north of tho “Big Sticky” country a distance of five miles from Central Point there lies a large sc<q>e of country known as the “Desert," on which there is but little settlement, it beiug used chiefly as a sbx’k range. This land would require irrigation to make it prodnee crops, which can lie done bv taking the water out of ILigne river, Little or Big Butte creeks. Still to the northeast of Central Point a distance of ten mile6 is the Little Butte creek country, through which flows Little Butte creek, and ou this stream is situated a thrifty little town called Eagle Point. The soil of this country is of loam and adobe, very rich and pnxluctive. This country consists of small valleys and rolling hills and is settled quite extensively. Little Butte creek for water power fa cilities is not surpassed in this country, although but little used, there being only one grist mill on its banks. Lit tle Butte creek from the main valley to its source is diversified with small valleys aud rolling hills, while away from the stream are large belts of tim ber, consisting of yellow pine, sugar pine, cedar and fir, which for lumlx>r- ing puriKJses are very valuable. The up|H>r portion of the Little Butte, as well as the entire Big Butte country is used principally as a st<x'k range. To view the country north-north-east of Central Point a distance of five miles. Rogue river will be crossed on a free bridge, which cost our county nearly fourteen thousand dollars to construct, and is l<x*ated directly opposite tho up per Table Rock, from which tho coun try in question takes its name. The Table Rock country embraces a large scope of territory and a good portion of its soil is exceedingly productive in grains and vegetables. Along the north bank of Jiogue river are grown the celebrated watermelons raised by G. W. Jackson, from whose farm the Willamette valley is in a great part ( supplied. This Table Rock country ] has many natural advantages which, when fully developed, will causa it to , quadruple its present exports. All along tho north bank of Rogue , river there is a scattering settlement, for a distance of fifty uiiles, un i the wonderful cascade aud falls til | are reached. From this place on east - ward the country is noted for its won , derful timlxir and soenery. The famous i Crater lake, which is on the summit, of i the Cascade mountains, can only lie reached from Rogue river valley by this route, aud Central Point is the nearest point on the railroad to start from in , order to reach the lake. All the above-mentioned country is tributary to Ceutral Point (and to this town only i for this reason: The county road from Ashland to Grant’s Pass takes its course through Central Point and the county road leading from the county seat (Jacksonville) to the Big Sticky, Little Butte, Big Butte and Table Rock countries passes through Central Point, and in order forthe peo ple living in the last mention«! places to reach Medford, Phoenix, Ashland or Jacksonville they must pass through Central Point.
