Agent of People In the Mlcdle States
Says Homeseek'ers Can Be Brought
Here If Efforts Are Put Forth.
Tho tldo of Immigration Is begin
nlng to turn this way afciiln. With
tho first lay of September opened tho
liomcsetiKers' rates fiom t'-.e East and
MIdle States. Most of them are
bound for Portland and Spokane.
Some stop off here, but tho larger
portion go farther on. Tickets can
bo purchased to Portland for just $2.50
more than to Pendleton and tho
homcseeker goes to Portland because
ho 'bas heard more of that city and
country surrounding It than they lipvo
of Pendleton and Umatilla county.
For this reason they hnvo drawn the
conclusion that Portland Is the place
to go, and they miss Eastern Oregon,
which Is tho garden spot of the West.
While many of the people coming
are from all over the East, it Is said
that thi Westward movement will bo
heaviest this fall from Tennessee and
Kentucky. J. C. Fogerty, who was 'n
town recently, is representing these
states and Is looking for land to set
tle families. Speaking of Eastern Or
edgn and Washington and the coming
of people to these two states, Mr.
Fogerty said:
"Beginning with the first of this
month, a great exodus from the Mid
dle Western States to this section of
the Northwest tarted. If Umatilla
county- wants Its share of these peo
ple coming to this section to make
homes it ought to get out circulars
and printed matter to be scattered
among these people telling them what
Kinu 01 a country is nere, wnen dis
tributed by immigration agenfs this
matter is of great value to the coun
try and turns many faces this way.
Judging from what I have seen of this
country there Is room here for many
more people nnd the half of the good
things about tho country has not been
told to Easterners. I think this Is
jiiFt the place for the people among
whom I am going to work.
"Kentucky and Tennessee are the
two particular states that have been
left to me to work, but they are not
by any means the only .ones from
which liomeseekers will come West
this year. Printed matter descriptive
of this section ought to be placed in
the hands of every immigration agent
as It will in that way reach those
whom it is intended to influence more
nulckly.
"When the rush westward begln3
it will continue from that time on uiv
til there is no longer anyone left :n
the Middle States. This is not techni
cally correct, but nearly so. There
will be a vast difference in the popu
lation of the middle western states
after the present liomeseeker rush is
over.
Why People Come West.
"People ask me why residents f
the Middle West sell their farms and
homes there and come farther West.
It is easily explained. To begin with,
you have here the ino'st beautiful
country and pleasing climate on earth.
There cannot be a doubt of -it. Anoth
er prime factor is tile fact that land
Is cheaper than in the country they
leave. They have families and want
to sell their farms there for, enough
money to buy others for themselves
and their children out in this newer
section.
"The people who will come from
Kentucky will, for the most part, bo
stock raisers. They will look foi
grazing lands and will bring with
them famous blooded animals from
the blue grass section. This will in
time become one of the most prosper
ous stock raising countries in the
world, but at present the animals are
scrubs. With good Kentucky blood
on tho ranges Oregon will make a
name for herself in a few years.
Tennesseeans Want a "Snap."
"Tho Tennessee people are differ
ent. They are seeking a place where
they can live easily. They do not
want to work any more than Is actu
ally necessary and this country, where
a man may be a successful farmer
and not go on his land once a year,
The climate here, too, is v. ell suited
to them. Some of the most beautl
ful women In the world re said to
reside in the mountain districts of
Tennessee and 1 will endeavor 10
bring some of them out here. Then
the voting Oregonlans who have taken
tin land, but are doubtful whether they
can hold It because they cannot af
ford to leave their employment to
live on it, ntay marry handsome Ten
nessee girls and send their wives to
make homes on the farm.
"But Iowa and Ohio will send thei
peoplo who will be of greatest value
to the 'state. They will bring divers!
fled methods of farming, and then
the name of wheat or nothing will die
out after they have demonstrated
their ideas are the right ones. They
will not grow wheat alone. Tiey have
learned that such a course is not the
best one from tho standpoint of money
making. They will teach the West
ern farmer how to farm."

On the Proposed Blue Mountain For
est Reserve.
H. C. Bryson, of Walla Walla, has
prepared a statement of his observa
tions and beliefs relative to the graz'
ing of stock on the proposed Blue
mountain forest reserve, and gives it
forth in reply to the argument of
those who claim that the ranging of
stock on the reserve would materially
Injure the forests. Mr. Bryson says:
"From careful observation In the
belt which is to be included in tho
reserve, I can, without hesitancy say
that the timber feed In Ihe tiuiiuutlns
which Is utilized by sheep, is almost
entirely shrubbery, and what Is called
by sheepmen browsing. You do not
find grass In the timber, and feeding
the tender shrubbery does not In any
way injure it, for it grows up again
the next season with just as luxuriant
growth as before. It is self-evident
that It cannot Injure tho timber Itself
because the trees are not touched by
sheep at all, and there Is no growth of
grass except on the breaks and en
tlrely out of the timber, excepting
"pine" grass, which no stock will cat,
and hence I claim that forest ranging
does not injure the grass,
"Then what inlury can come from
pasturage ot stock in tho timbered
belts of the Blue mountains? I may be
very far wrong, but my observation In
the premises Is that the only damage
done actually done by ranging is
the fact that careless sheep herders
In former years would leave smoul
derlng campflres, and thereby a Are
might originate. But latterly all
stockmen are very careful themselves,
and have most stringent orders given
not to set out or permit fires to start
In their range. It ruins the ranging
for a few years, and It Is to their ben
efit to avoid fires.
"While It Is without doubt true
laat continued pasturage of pralrlo
lands by sheep eventually kills out
the grass, I do not believe that any
kind of stock pastured In timbered
)Hlts injures the same a particle. The
only damage that emanates therefrom
at all I contend Is not from the pas
turage, but from the carelessness of
those in charge of the stock. And it
Is currently known, within the scope
of the proposed reserve, that fully i)0
jier cent of the mountain fires of re
cent years has been started not by
the stockman, but by tho oarcloss
hunter or camper.
"Permit mo to refor to a feature
which I deem would follow tho expul
sion of stock from tho reserves. Cat
tle and sheep will, of necessity, have
to be run In small numbers on the
holdings of their owners. This will
greatly decrease, of necessity, tho sup
ply of meat stock in Oregon nnd Wash'
lngton, With an .ever increasing do
mand, with tho growth and develop
ment of the country, tho price of meat
will assume a skyward tendency. Tills
would affect ovoryono, for meat Is a
staple article which wo all must havo,
"I am ever In favor of protecting
the forests of our country, and iiHlng
all necessary means to protect the
water supply of tho country as woll,
but I do not bcllovo In ruining private
Industry and business for something
which, with its destruction, Is not
benefited.
