i GRANDE RONDE. An Easy lload to Success lointcrt Out. THE INFLUENCE OF A GOOD HOME Seme IUmlnicenser-Konde A Tribute to Grande Valley. 1 EniTotf Oiikoo.v Scout: fi After uu nliBcnco of niout fivo years j, in Ajontiiiiu I returned homo recently, , and tliu tiling that impressed itself 2 most forcibly on my mind was tlint tho ninjoiity of the young men of my acqtiiiinttuico are Btill without homes of their own. It is hard to induce the average American youth, who hns grown tfji on the Pacific const, to settle down on land. lie is too restless and in years that have gonb land has been so plenty out hero that he has failed to estimate it at its truo value. Emi grants, from the old countries and the thickly settled East, however, rcalio thco tru value of a home, and in the last few years have settled on and mi ado charming homes of land that eomo of Union and linker counties' young men have rode over since their childhood and would not have. I romejnbcr well one day, years ago, in Jeff Webb's barber shop, in Union, tho Hutchinson brothers Jim and IJillwqro pulling through town with thoirVagons and outfit, moving up to porno land they had taken up on North Powder. tfliroft or four hlGn in tho shop thought they wqre crazy to take up land in that frosty country, but tl'iov have made a competency by Bottling on North Powder, and the men that sneered at them on that day have not taken and improved any land yet, and never will. They are afraid to venture. All men who are worth calling men liko to wrcatlo with diffi culties. If it does not lie in their way thoy go out of their way to find it. There is no oxeitement in easo and safety, ami without e.xeitomont of Bomo kind wo should all rust, body and BOlll. At the head of East Eagle there is eovcral sections of as fine timber as you will Mud anywhere. It is magnili ccnt. The trees are from fifty to sev enty foet without a limb. If you have tho monoy you can buy it under tho stone and timber act, if not, settle down on it and hold it until tho railroad goes through, and in a year or two you will have a fine stake. There will bo saw mills running thero before twolvo months, are gone by, or as soon as tho railroad that is building through Union taps it. In a few years more frco land will be a thing of the past in Union and linker counties, and then BOino of tho boys will mourn overthuir lost opportunitins. Itavo a homo of your own somewhere. Uuy a piece of land, and own it. Buy it with tho de termination to keep it as long as you livo, and to loavo it to your heirs. If you have no monoy except what you can earn yourself, then save and lay aHido a part of your income, until you have enough to pay for a piece of land. To bo tho owner of a home stead will havo a bouefleial oil'cot on your character. It will incroaso your Bolf respect your confidence in your self. You will feel that you havo a substantial position, and something at stake in the community. The habit of saving which you will havo formed in saving money to purchase a piece of land, will in itself, bo valuablo to you. It will aid you greatly in ac quiring other property and becoming independent. Tho tendenoy of this is to inako you moro self-reliant, more ambitious, moio Industrious, moro care ful, and a better citizen. Tho owner ship of a homo will add greatly to your happinesss. Tho feeling which it en genders is a source of constant satis faction. Thero is ono spot of earth which you fool a particular interest in to improve and beautify. With that spot your thoughts and affections b como indontifiod. You learn to love it It is liko a never-changing friend. It becomes an unfailing source of en joymont. Havo a homo. Thero is no dIhco liko home. Tho bunchgrass hill lands are fast I becoming valuablo, in fact fenced pas ture lands in tho lulls around Union 1b worth if 10 an aero now and none for aalo at that price. Tho bunchgrass lands only want fencing to wave as of yore. All old sottlora can remember how it waved in ita glory on all tho bills of Antolopo, Clover and Wolf ereck in early days, before tho hills were overstocked. Union will bo a largo manufactur ing town eomo day. It is only a ques tion of timo when eastern or foreign manufacturers with capital will locato at Union. Tho futro of Grande Hondo ,al Powder Itlvcr vullies arc very bright. Thero aro thousands of acres of fino sagebrush land in Powder Kivcr valley thnt only needd irrigation to be productive. Look at Poise valley all sagebrush lands and see what ir rigation has accomplished there Mr. Cutting Clark, of Poise City (my father's partner in early days) and par ty came through Boiso valley in tho spring of '01 and thought it was a great sagebrush desert. The Hnnku Indians were swarming liko bees in tho Ptirnt river country, but they managed to arrive in Grande Pontic valley safely, on their way to Florence, Idaho, by way of Wallowa valley and Lcwiston. Grande Hondo valley was not inhabited at that time. No sign of houses or people. The grass grew so high all over tho valley that if their horses strayed away any distance from camp they could not find them in it. They managed somehow to make their way safely through tho Nez Perce In dians of the Wallowa country, and on through to Florence. Tho following summer, '02, they left Florcnco and came back and settled on the banks of Catherine creek in Union county, Ore gon, thinking that all the country south of Catherine creek for several hundred miles was not worth taking. Mr. Jenkins, who keeps tho Eight milo house on tho old overland road to Pakcr City, informed mo a few years ago, that ho had lived there fifteen years and had just found out that tho sagebrush laud back of bis house was suitable for grain. Those old pioneers, How they hug themselves in glee if they havo no wife to hug when they think of the days Lang Syne, when they rode through tho great valley of tho Poiso nlltl OU down through to Oregon, hunt ing for land that would raise hay and grain? Peautiful Grande Hondo! In all my travels I have never found your equal in beauty, with ono exception. American valley, Plumas county, Cali fornia, is your imago in minature. It is only half your size. You outrival all others in magnificence. You beau tif ill blue Grando Hondo. Know yo thu land wliuro the apple and peach tree, Hratuddinu tlio landscape with leaves of dark ltccii. Anrflthu valley Unit oft' served the Indians, or minting; Wheru now dwells thw christian, the bravo and the freu? Know ye this lundr 'lis flrai'do Hondo so bright, Willi the all wanning sunbeams that nil tare bestows. Where the sweet velvet peach is beheld with dellL'lit. And tho. still sweeter maiden adorning the rose. With the clour fine air of our Sep tember days, fairly vibrating with tho humming and buzzing of innumerable threshing machines, it seems to me as though tho managers of tho Partners' Institute chose a strange time for their meotinL' at Union. Many farmers would have liked to have attended throughout tho exercises, but were tin able to do so on account of tho bar vest, and aro complaining about it. C. F. HINCKLEY.
