J At the time alluded .to both wheat j
and wool were low. nnd railroad ,
' rates much higher than now. With
j good crops on good land farmers ,
could not make much. And then j
there came several hard years in j
; succession. One or two years the j
seasons were exceedingly dry. and
newcomers supposed they were ordi- .
nary seasons in that region. Another ,
year or two. when the prospect late ,
in the spring was gnnd for a wheat j
crop, a hot north wind cooked it in .
its milk- Frosts in winter seemed
, unusually malevolent about that time. 1
On the best lands fair crops were ,
i raised, in spite of all these climatic ;
: discouragements, but on lands not so j
good, but where great crops have ,
been raised for years past, not enough j
in many instances could be harvested j
to pay the cost of raising the crops.
; Many disheartened new farmers ,
: moved away in disgust. Many others
; would have gone if they could. It
l was a dismal, chilling period for the j
wheat growers. j
The sheep and cattlemen also fared
hardly. They had not yet become ac- j
j customed to putting up sufficient feed.
: against a hard winter, and the hard !
I winters came. Stock perished by 1
tens of thousands. And what were
1 saved were scarcely worth what they
1 had pot. Wool had to be hauled far
and wild cheaply. Sheep marketed in
'Chicago or Omaha were driven over
' land most of the way. The country
! was well-nigh "broke." The banks.
I particularly one at Pendleton, stood
j by unfortunate stockmen and far
j niers nobly, and risked much, to tide

ttas ever since sold at a paying price,
it a man has a good farm, and some
years, as this year, a . big crop of
v he,.t yielded a very large profit. The
price of wool also arose, anil while
fluctuating somewhat, the experienc
ed and careful sheepmen had a long
period of fair prosperity. Cuttle are
low now. but they. too. have formed
the basis of a profitable Industry.
New Lands. iew Industries.
While the range has necessarily de
creased, stockmen have raised more
feed, especially alfalfa, and even the
agricultural counties of Kaslern Ore
gon will always remain a good stock
country. New IhiiiIh have been
opened up to wheat ralHlng, and far-
mcr have Improved their methods.
Dairying and fruit ruising have also
heroine profitable industries in many
localities. - Business conditions have
Immensely Improved In every respect.
The banks are overflowing with de
po:i. Farmers and stockmen are
usually out of debt, and many of '
them have thousands of dollars
ahead. It was a dark, chilly, gloomy
t.me In portions of that region 14 or
16 years ago. Now the sun of pros
perity shines brightly over all.
It should be added that while this
is true the difference In the seasons
during a few years about the time
mentioned and those since Is probably
partly Imaginary. When a man has
his land In good shape and his crop
well put In, has good comfortable
buildings and a bank account; or
when one has big stacks of alfalfa for
winter feeds and his stock Is already
sleek and fat, and he has the pro-
ceeds of last year's sales deposited,
the hard winter and the dry summer
has slight terror for him as compared
with the time when an unusually un
propltloua seuson meant dire disaster
and as it seemed ruin. The farmers
and stockmen of Eastern Oregon
could almost smile at a barren year
now, wb,en a doxan years ago or so it
would have been the last straw that
broke their backs.
