CIS PRODUCTS TONS OF BUTTER AND FINE BRED STOCK.; What Thrift Has Done and May Do- Bits of Early Pioneer History. (Staff Corrcspondtnct. Ukiah. Ora, Nov. 9. In another sketch which appeared In the Hast Oregonlan a few days ago the unde veloped resources of Camas Prairie, were mentioned. These are numerous and houndlrs In quantity. Imt they do not overshadow the resources that are being put Into practical use. The undeveloped resources are coming and there la no question of It, hut Camas Prairie is already making herself known by the fine products that are being sent into the outside markets where they demand a good price and rank In quality with the best in the country. The locality is not only favorable to stockralsing and dairying, but is capable of turning out fine garden vegetables and fruits. Both classes of this production, of the hardier nature, are astonishingly fine. Wili Grow Grain. Grain, too, is destined to form a part of the great product o fthe fu ture. While all of- the grain yet pro duced is usually cut early and con verted into hay. still Mr. J. T. Huston, one of the pioneers of the prairie states that as high as 100 bushels of well matured oats and barley have been threshed to the acre in this com munity. At present, however, it las not been extensivly ralsd and it is expected that as the couutr" fettled up this, with other diversified pro ductlons of the soil will enter large ly Into the exports of the country. Tons of Butter. At present stockralsing and dairy Ing are the leading productions. In this small valley, not exceeding 15 miles In length and six to eight miles in width the output is wonderful, and it Is claimed that its capacity is not at all taxed: that the "beginning has scarcely been reached. It is estimat ed that the annual output of butter alone from Camas Prairie is jnore than 20 tons. Of this output Jake Bom. Sam Clark. Alex McKenzle, W M. Filter, E. Connell, J. Sturdevant, Joe Meddle and C. Mclteynolds all make two tons or more of butter an nually and there are several smaller producers that swell the total to a larger number. The bulk of this butter is shipped to Pendleton, though it finds market at many other points in the country It is noted for its quality and the Camas Prairie product carries with It a name that makes It a strong com netltor lu any field. Some of the in dividual brands are sought for and some of the Pendleton merchants will handle no other and their patrons wilt buy no other. Modern machin ery is being shipped into the country and In the course of a few years It is piedlcted that the output of butter Ir. the prairie will treble Its present fig ures. Cattle The cattle of Camas Prairie are usually of a fine breed, most of them being Shorthorns and Herelorus. There are probably 5000 stock cattle owned in the prairie at present. Among the stockmen interested In this industry are: It. S. Moore, who has 100 head; Ralph Clark, 150 head; Frank Hilbert, 250; Garrison and La fontaine, 300; Mossie & Son, 125; Alex McKinzie, 100; Tom Gilliam, 100; C. Hale, 100; C. Mclteynolds, 100; Fred Ganger, 100; J. T. Huston, B. F. French, Rosco Dickson, Joe Mettle, Charlie Gest, Sam Clark, all have 50 head or more; William How aid, 100; Viebrock & Schmidt, 250; Miller Dick, 50; H. Thompson, 75; H. T. Connell, 100; F. Brown, 50; Ed Rhlnehart, 75; C. B. Wade, 250; Ed Brehm, 100; George McGaughey, 200; Wm. Futer, 100; Born & Lazin n. 400; H. G. Bean, 200; Robert Watt. 75: John Cox, 60; Jim Lindsay, 50, and Jesse Reeves, 20. There are n any others, but these were given uy prominent citizens just fiom memory. Horses. All of these rancheia own horna ami many of them are good grades. Some of them raise, horses for the) market and the Camas Pralrii pro-' ductlon rank with any in the country. , Pioneers and Early History. There nrc mam- old pioneers still ( living in lini.itllla county and many1 of them still sin vivo in the southern lwrtlon of the county. Pilot Rock1 and the count rv (mm Pllni XlnrXi nl Hklah contains many of the honored personages. This feature alone would furnish a separate story, as no coun try in the world Is fraught with more interesting history thnn the country. Where Rolls the Oregon." Maria Byrd. who lives between Pilot Rock and Mountain Homo. Is one of the Interesting pioneers of Umatilla county She has a splendid memory and is very intelligent. She tells about crossing the plains in 1S52, and the usual experiences of those trips of hardships in early days. She is also familiar with the early history of Umatilla county. She says that 'I.lsha Smith was the first mail car rier from Pendleton to Pilot Rock and that a man by the name of Parson was the first person to carry the ex press from Pendleton to Granite. He was a pony expressman for the Wells Fargo Company and often carried the express on foot, at one time carrying $17,000 In cash In this way. The first sawmill established in Umatilla county was built by her hus band, Daniel Byrd, on East Birch creek. She gives many other remlnls censes of those days full of inteiest. Success for Everybody. The case of Jacob Born Illustrates, not only the fact that this country offers opportunities for everybody un excelled, but that every Inch of Its lands is a sure winner, and that the lines of good citizenship and the man of industry and economy who comes to this country with the In tention of devoting his time along the lines of good citizenship and the improvement of himself and a due re gard to the rights of others Is sine to win. What Industry Did. He settled In Camas Prairie several years ago with barely enough money to get to the place. He bought a few- cows on credit and began making butter and selling It. Soon he had a few dollars ahead and bought a tract of land on credit, paying a small amount down. He managed to meet his payments and then bought more land. He has kept making butter and buying land until now he owns 2080 acres, 1720 of which are In one body, and he does not owe a dollar In the world. He has a large band of cattle and horses and a large bank account also. This has all been acquired In a few years by work and economy. Good Stage Line. The Pendleton-Umatilla line is one of the best In the country. Since its organization It has made a record for promptness and reliability. Sturde vant Bros, are the present owners and Ed Sturdevant and J. M. Jarvis are the drivers. The latter has driven stages Tor 22 years. Although the roads have at times been rough dur- ing the winter since the first mall was carried over this 'ou'e, the men all down the line frnri the dajs of Llsh Smith to Ed Sturdevant and J. M. Jarvis, Including Jim Huston and Wm. Folsora and scores of others, who have served In that capacity, have given a service of which the citizens along the line have the right to boast, " DE LANEY.
