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.
