Flush, Or., June 13. I left the P
ranch on the mornlnar of the tenth.
Thursday, but I did not get a very early
start and came only as far a Roaring
Springs, in Catlow valley, where I ar
rived about the middle of the afternoon.
I had traveled over this same road in
aolna to the P ranch this week before.
so it will not be necessary for me to
explain that the road bears nearly south
the entire distance. After leaving the
mixen vaiiey mere is a very, very steep
hill to climb for a couole of miles.
Peaching the summit you are on a broad
piateau, nign up among the Junipers.
To the west the rim rock rise several
hundred feet higher and to the east and
northeast the ground rises gradually
to the snow-capped summit of Stein's
mountain.
On the plateau the land la rough," cov
ered with loose stones and la of no use
as agricultural land. But It does afford
?ood pasturage, aa Is evidenced by the
at cattle and aleek calves which are
almost constantly In view. Going down
from the plateau I came again to one of
the tributary valleys of Catlow, hereto
fore described, and followed Its east
ern border out to the valley proper, then
bore along the eastern rim rock of the
vaiiey jto Roaring Spring ranch,
round Tina Spaniard. -There
I found a Spaniard by the name
of Budago in charge, but he Is known
only as Chino, which is softened in pro
nunciation to Sheeno. A fine husky fel
low Is Chino and a veritable mint of
information, for ha was foreman of the
P ranch under Pete -French for many
years. He has been in the country for
over 30 years and knows, every spring,
every creek, every ravine and almost
every juniper tree for 100 miles around.
Chino has quite a band of horses and
a lot of cattle, and he and his nenhew
are establishing a ranch at Clover swale.
at tne extreme northwestern boundary
of Catlow, some 25 miles from Roaring
Dpfing. no wm very Dusy getting out
posts for fencing, which he gets upon
the southern foothills of Stein's, some
12 or 15 miles from Roaring spring. He
told me that these posts laid down at
Clover swale cost him 86 cents each, so
you can see that fencing in this country
is a costly proposition.
I left Roaring spring at 6 o'clock yes
terday morning, a distance of some 12
miles. The portion of the vallev I
crossed was not the beat of land, aome
hardpan, some alkali and lots of stunted
sage and greasewood.but plenty of water
off to the south. I am told that I
passed over the very poorest portion of
the valley, and- I may well believe It,
for I saw hundreds of cattle, mostlv
cows and calves, coming along In paths
from the north, going To the lakes for
water, and they all looked in prime condition.
Jfobody at Home.
At Rock creek springs ranch one of
the old French-Glenn ' places I found
the roundup camp, but no one at home
save the cook. I stonnd onlv lone
enough to water my team and leave n
package l naa Drought from the P
ranch for Tom Allen the manager. Then
I bore off to the west over the foot
hills and taking the general direction
of Rock creek for Warner mountain.
its snowcapped Deaks ellateniiiff In th,
bright sunshine, while Stein's heights
were growing fainter off to the northeast.
For over 30 miles I drove across plat
eaus through small valleys, but most.'v
over a rolling country. Much of the
land I passed over was stoney, well
covered with small lava rock, but as
a rule the pasturage was fairly good
and a good many cattle were In sighf-
i niny-mree mnes over an unknown
road is a long drive and I found the
trail to the first house abovrt the most
wearisome journey I had yet under
taken. From Rock creek' I had wt
passed a single house or shanty, had
seen no signs of human habitation, -had
not v seen a team or man on horse
back, and. mind, 13 miles of tne way
was across Catlow. ana in that en

' Z was headed for a stopping place,
a ranch house known as Flook's, and I
was pretty well discouraged when at
o'clock I rounded a point and saw a
small meadow before me enclosed by a
fence. But no slan of a house. How
ever, I felt encouraged as the road
wound up the stream. Finally I came
to sn Irrigating ditch, and as I rounded
an abrupt point there 200 yards ahead
was Flook's. The horses pricked up
their ears and I felt greatly encouragsrt
I can tall you. The bouse, stables and
corrals are rleht down in the canyon,
and not visible from any direction for
over 300 yards.
Uaa Tlrst Traveler.
I saw a man Just alighting from a
horse and ha proved to be a traveler
like myself. He had just came in
from Cedarvllle Cal.. and was on his
way to his homestead at Windy Point,
up in the east end of the Malheur laki
valley. We could find no one around,
but we could tell from our Investiga
tions of the larder, the warm water In
the stove and the chickens around the
door that someone would appear soon,
and sure enough the man in charge soon
came riding up and gave us a welcome.
His name is Joe Jonea, and a mighty
fine chap he is, and a good cook. '
Mr. Flook is probably about as re
mote from neighbors as any man in
Oregon, his nearest being over zu miles
and when it comes to postal facilities he
Is about as baa oir as anvDoay. dbuik
35 miles from the nearest one. He has
a nice little ranch, plenty of water, and
has grown wealthy in the sheep bus
nm Hl wife Is in Lakeview for the
summer, and he was off at the shear
ing plant.
I found I had crossed the line be
tween Harney and Lake counties a few
miles back. Flook's ranch being on
section 26 township 83 south, range 28
west. I guess I have come Into Lake
county to get a first glimpse of pro
perity, even though the country was
rather rough and uninteresting, for
Flook will net $10,000 for his wool
clip this year and he Is only a 'tender
foot" in the sheep business.
Remember I was still on Rock creek,
vhinh Kirpnm I had crossed or ap
proached four or five times on my day s
Journey, and this morning at 6 I again
started in a general direction along Its
course, headed directly for the snows
of .Warner mountain.- As I came up
from the canyon these snows seemed
quite close, but It was many a weary
mile across a rather barren pleateau
until I finally reached the very source
of Rock creek, right under the moun
tain, and turned north up a long di
vide. But 1 had in my forenoon's jour
ney seen two small herds of antelope,
each of six, and had scared up three
sage hens, each with a brood of chicks.
I climbed up, finally, to the northern
fieak of Warner, right up to the snow
Ine. and there before me lay the fa
mous Warner valley, with its lakes, its
marshes, its salt beds, and many, many
miles of fine, rich land. It Is a won
derful view! Take the map and you
will find it in township 36 south, range
26 east, and on the map It looks about
the size of the eye of a six inch trout.
But climb it! But the journey up it,
down It. across and over it, is worth
all of the effort, for a look from the
mighty summit Is something inspiring
and exhilarating.
I do not mean that the road passes
over the hiahest soak.' It runs alonr
bluff, close to the snow, at the north
ern point, but the real summit towers
hundreds of feet above. The western
side of the mountain Is very, very ab

The general direction down Is to the
north, say soma three miles, and at the
base the road turns and runs under the

I stopped at the first house and found
a man by the name of Ed Campbell had
homesteaded the land on the 8th of Mav.
1908. He has a little bunch of cattle
and horses, and all of his surroundings
bear an air or prosperity.
Boon I bore across the valley, and in
so doing I wound two thirds around a

it must be remembered that there are a
whole chain of them, over 40 miles from
north to south. And then that la not all,
for across the line 1n California the Sur
prise vallev Is really a continuation of
Warner valley.
Crossing to the west I turned south
again, and after another dozen miles I
reached Plush by mid-afternoon.
Plush Is a house divided against Itself,
for there are two Plushes. I stopped at
the first one I came to. for I was In a
hurry. A storm cloud had been for an
hour gathering In the northwest, and I
was drlvlna fast to keep ahead of it.
The lightning flashed, the thunder
pealed and clouds looked Mack and an
gry. Then suddenly another bank of
clouds gathered to the south and came
chaslnjr towards me. The two storms
met at Plush but I met with them,
and only got a sprinkle as I landed my
goods and chattels under cover. I take
it for granted that the reader never saw
It rain In Plush, but I can swear that It
makes a good lob of It when It begins.
Saturday was a busy day in the of
fice of the contest department for the
people are gradually awakening to an
appreciation of the full value of the
grand prizes to be given away by The
Journal at the conclusion of its Fourth
Annual Circulation contest, and are
showing a lively interest in the progress
of the various contestants. The three
ladles at the head of the list are all
energetic, determined workers who have
set their hearts on winning the auto
mobile, and the spirit of rivalry is
strong between them. Miss Gilhousen
made a big jump Saturday, sending in
ii, ore than 335 in Cash and increasing
her score by nearly 20.000 votes. Al
though she says in her letters that
she woifld be content to win the Chick
erlng Baby Grand piano, she Is going
after subscriptions in a manner which
Indicates her real Intentions better than
words. She seems to know everybody In
The Dalles, and is not likely to let any
one there escape who should be a sub
scriber to The Journal.
Miss Barde and Mrs. Morgan are keep
ing pretty close together. They are both
heard from nearly every day, and each
appearance at the office is accompanied
with at least one more new subscrip
tion. Mrs. Morgan still has a few hun
dred votes advantage and both she and
her husband are doing all In their
Dower to keen in the lead.
Mr. Zehrung was not heard from
Saturday as he Is down In the southern
part of the state rustling subscriptions.
His friends In Ashland and Grants Pass
are many, and he will undoubtedly re
turn with a lot mora votes in a day
or two.
Although Miss Jenna retains the same
Iiosltlon on the llBt she had Friday, it
s only because of the advances made by
others ahead of her, for she scored near
ly 3000 votes Saturday. She would win
the Gearhart Park lot if the awards
were to be made at this time. Perhaps
she will win sometmng better.
Thomas J. Slnnott and L. J. Gentner
both made their first appearance In the
score list today with nearly 10,000 votes
each. This Is a very creditable showing
for a day s work and indicates what
others may accomplish if they try.
Jesse J. Ricn is also- iretunar business.
He brought In -some more votes late
Saturday evening which puts him In tha
eighth place.
It is not clearly understood by some
of the contestants as to what is meant
by a "new subscriber." A new sub
scriber is one who was not on the sub
scription lists of The Journal at the
time of the announcement of the con
test on June 6. All others should be
classed as old subscribers. The object
ot I ne juuiuai in uiiennir tne prizes
Is to Increase Its circulation and for
this reason those sending In new sub
scrlptlons are allowed twice as many
votes as for renewals.
Contestants should designate on the
voting certificates sent in, whether the
paper is to oe oenverea by carrier ot
bv man in piares wnero mere is a car
rier service. This will avoid unneces
sarv delay and inconvenience to sub
scribers. The prizes offered In the contest this
vear are of such great value that a
doubt seems to exist In the minds of
some bs to whether : the contest is
conducted In a fair and Impartial man
ner, and some or the contestants seem
to feel that the votes can be Jugeled
with so as to Influence the results. This
Is Impossible, for at the conclusion of
tne contest inose wno oesire mav place
tneir last votes wnn tne casn obtained
for the last day'a business. In sealed

Insures a correct and impartial deter
mination of the winners.
How to Enter the staoa.
Entries can be made in The Journal's
race at any time up to the middle of
July, but as the proverbial early bird
is the one that .catches the worm, an
early start is a big advantage, upon
deciding to enter the race, either call
on or write to the Contest Department
of The Oregon Journal and the neces
sary receipt books, voting coupons and
advertising matter will be sent you as
soon as your qualifications are passed
upon Dy tne management.
How to Set Totes.
Candidates should at once Interest
their friends in the contest and by
united effort and action induce aa many
people as possible to vote for them by
subscribing to The Oregon Journal six
months or so in advance. The prizes
will be awarded In accordance with the
number of votes a candidate has at the
close of the race, about eight weeks
from this date. The contestant having
the greatest number of votes being en
titled to first choice of the awards, the
contestant standing second having sec
ond choice of the awards, and so on
down until all the prizes have been
awarded.
Over Twenty-five JPrlsee.
With over 26 prizes offered, each
contestant who makes an effort la as
sured of receiving some remuneration.
No element of chance enters The Jour
nal contest, as a cash commission on
new subscriptions will be paid to those
contestants wno remain in the race to
the end and do not finish among the
prize winners.

" I landed In a good hotel, kept by Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Scammon. There is a
saloon here, livery stable and hotel and
two or three residences, while there are
two ranch houses a couple of hundred
yards further south. The place is in a
pretty little valley Just where Honey
cfek flows out of the bills to the west.
Mit Scammon has a bunch of cattle, and
his surroundings are thrifty looking.
There is also a vacant store here, but
the postofflce is at the new town about
three fourths of a mile to the south. At
that place there is a store, hotel and two
saloons. Just which place will be the
future city of Plush I am not willing to
prognosticate. But I know, one will find
good accommodations here at Scam

Aa to the name it came from an In

habit of gambling, and played poker.
He held frecuent flushes, but could not
sav flush. Finally he was nicknamed

tablished it took Flush's name.

get more sheep and need more herd. ra,
they send to the ould sod for another
cousin or two. Soon the new cousins
become owners and send for their cous
ins, and so it goes. It la said that any
man who will save his money for a
year, take a bunch of sheep on shares,
do his own herding for another yetir,
then by being economical for another
two years can be independent and well
to do. In no other business are there
better openings than In the sheep In
dustry. I have not said much about Warner
valley, but I have not seen very much
of It. Howevw, there are some line
homeatead claims here and aome are
being taken that do not look good to
ine. I saw one or two shacks on alkall-hardpan-greasewood
patches that looked
mighty bad. Indeed, if I had the choice
of taking such a claim and living on It
or going to Jail I would choose the Jail
every time. And yet possibly within a
mile of those very claims are fine bench
lands which In time will be good wheat
lands. But tha average tenderfoot
must have bottom land, or nothing.
I will leave In the morning for Lake-
view. ...
