the
J ust a few words about lone and vicin
ity. In the perusal of this brief sketch
some people muy grasp a few "poiuters"
about a oountry little known beyond its
own borders.
The best parts of the west are in many
instances hidden from the gaze of the
tourist. The railways traverse the mo&t
uninviting portion, and in no instance is
it more thoroughly true than in Oregon.
The line of the Union Pacific through
Eastern Oregon, passes by its most objeo
tionable portion. The traus-oontinental
tourist fiuds the landscape luoking iu at
tractive features. He says ot it, "deliver
me from this sterile region," as he rides
along the Columbia, and even when you
eave the main line and travel toward the
uterior, your course will be through a
narrow, winding valley, on either side of
wbioh will be seen the rough shoulders
of the low hills. Thirty miles south of
the Columbia, and one hundred and sev
enty miles east of the city of Portland, is
the little hamlet to which your attention
is direoted.
Situated in a pretty valley, in the
midst of a rich farming country, is lone.
The valley is the basiu through which
flows Willow creek on its way from the
Blue mountains to the Columbia. Nar
row iu some places and wider in others,
it almost seems by the formation, that
Dnture itself controls the destiny of a
country, by providing favorable condi
tions for the building of trade centres.
At lone, the valley is about one-fourth
of a mile wide, whrob allows ample room
for building a fine little commercial cen
ter, which will ere loDg blossom into a
full-grown metropolis. Here is the most
favored spot in Eastern Oregon for a
town. Here will, at no distant dnv. be a
city of homes. Here is a point that is
easily reached from all the great farming
districts. It was started seven years
ago, before the advent of the railroad. I
baa) enjoyed a good, healthy growth. It
possesses many advantages aud will, in
all time to come, be the receiving p unt
ror tne great grain, wool and stock in
dustry of this part of the state.
lone has at present a 1 irne. commodi
ous wareuouselor storing wool aud urain
and from which hundreds of oars am
shipped. It has a general merchandiae
establishment, post-office, lumber-yard,
uuiei, uiHUKHinnii suop, anu a number or
neat, comfortable residouces. 'I here is
mule room here for more traders. 'I here
is no place where a merobant, with large
or small stock, can do better. After a
few words about those at present engaged
in business at lone, vour attention will
be direoted to the adjacent farming dis-
tnot, of which a plain, modest statement
will be made, and you can then judge as
co tna merit of tuis oountry.
THOMAS 3. CABLE,
The worthy postmaster, is one of the most
oonspicuous characters of lone. Tom.
as be is familiarly called, is very plain
plain as a pair ot blue overalls, livery

him. He attends to whatever business
he has on hand, in the style of a thor
ough mechanic. He gives universal sat
isfaction in the capnoity of postmaster.
tie keeps the latch-string out andkiudlv
cares for the traveling public. He will
make you foruet the insolence and neg

wen-oraered" Hostelrys. Mr. Carle is
nterested in farming. Owns a half sec
tion a mile or two from town, where he
nas some valuable improvements. He is
also operating some rented land. For a
umber of years he ran a thresher, and
saB "That no year during his experience
here in farming and threshinu. has the
general average been less than 13 bush
els. It is easy land to till, one man' with
three light horses can work one hundred
nd sixty acres. Farm land ranues in
value from 82 to $20 per acre, according
to improvements. CoBt of raising wLeat

profit on landed investment. Large
tracts of land conld be cultivated on
even more economical terms."
Mr. Carle located in Oregon in 1877,
and he has a large Acquaintance. Hi
friends are legion. The only thing any
one could possibly object to, is his poli
tics. He is a staunch democrat. Not
withstanding his politics, the country
would be better if it had more suoh men.
Mrs. Carle is a plain, practical little
woman, who superintends the house and
knows tiow to prepare a palatable dieh.
filie is conversant with what is supposed
to be one of the lust arts that of making
good butter.
Mr. Carle estimates the cot of rn'i nii
wheat at 84.25 per acre, or IA cents per
bushel.

Above the flourishing town of lone, the
first man you meet will be a jolly old
bachelor by the name of
EDWARD OLCFF.
He has a nice orohard and other valua
ble improvements. Here is a statement
that would, to the uninitiated, seem al
most marvelous: Eight years ago, Mr
Cluff says, he raised 1,000 bushels of oats
and out 20 tons of hay from 22 aores.
Mr. Cluff oomplains of the outrageous
rates on freight on the railroads. There
may be some justice in his complaint,
else he would not make it.

Question. Who oomes there?

Heppner.
Q. What oame you here to do?

"Then you are a farmer, I suppose?"
"Yes, I have threshed a few pump
kins and husked a few cucumbers,"
"Canst thou sit down on a barbed wire
fence without smiling and art thou pro-
uoit nt in poutiOB:
"The barb has no peculiar fascination
aud politics no mystery."
"Have yon affiliated with any of the
politioal parties dominant?"
"Have been an aotive member of four
in the past five weeks, and am now ready
for the fifth. Am anxious to be commis
sioner of Morrow county and somebody
will surely take a tumble after awhile:"
"It is well you may enter and fill
yourself with nice alfalfa hay."
Talkiug of hay, Mr. Allen said his al
falfa was doing finely. Last year 20
aores yielded the miraculous orop of 200
tons. The laud was imitated once he.
fore each orop and four crops were har
vested during the season. Mr. Allvn has
a number of tine horses, in excellentoon
dition, and thev have received two davs'
care during the past winter. Does that
argue anything Tor the climate? Here is
the finest orchard seen in Morrow
oouuty, aud it's strange some ono don't
utilize more ot this valley laud for fruit
growing, ir land is irrigated fruit can
be raised here equal to some of the fav
ored portions of Culiforuin. Mr. Al-
lyn has a pleasant Wme, a valuable
farm, fiue Btock ; he is genial, hospitable,
aud thougn he was a widower three
weeks ago, the Lord only knows his con.

the prospect for a orop was never better.
RICHARD LAHUE
Located four years bko. Has the utmost
confidence in the ultimate satisfactory
results of farming. Healthy oountry.
Never saw fiuer prospects for orop.
J. F. SUEO'lilt,
Of WeBton. He formerly lived in this
country and ia still interested iu a valua
ble tract of land in the Pleasant Flat
country. Mr. Sheffer believes the near
future will mark rapid development in
agricultural values.
At the point where Rhea oreek ioins
Willow oreek there will some day he a
thriving town. It pussesHoa every ad
vantage necessary to the building up of
the prettiest village in Eastern Oregon.
All it needs is to turn loose Boiiie fellow
with a little fire in him and like mauio a
oity will rise at the oonlluence of these
two streams. The accessibility and the
romantic soenery surrounding it decides
the issue which makes it the place. Here
was selected the ground upon which has
been built a magniticeut temple dedi
cated to the dissemination of knowledge.
Miss Martha Neville, of Ueopner, is mak
ing remarkable progress with the large
class uuder her care.
Half a mile up Rhea creek from the
juuotion of the two rivers will be found
08CAR HITOUELL,
Who is operatiug a large farm, but is en
gaged chiefly iu stock-raising. He ia
meeting with marked success in raising
alfalfa hay.
A. C. PETTEYB
Looated on Willow oreek three miles
above the present site of lone, twenty
two years ago. It is to he regretted that
Mr. I'etteys was away from home and we
could not therefore soure tho valuable
data which such a pioneer might furnish.
K11EN M'HILLAN
Lives on the Wortnington ranoh, but he,
too, was not visible.
Wil. A. ALLY!Y
Emigrated from Ooeola Co., Mich., four
years ago and looatod two miles from
loue, where he now lives. Like Dleutv
of other he came here with a small
share of this world's goodH, but he now
has a valuable tract of land coumrisinv
a half section, part of which is in culti
vation, comfortable house and other sub
stantial improvements, indicates that he
ia htre to staj. Mr. Allyn has a fiue
ranoh, a pleasant home and a nice fam
ily; is a good, plain, hospitable kind of
a fellow but he can't play enohre. At
this place we saw some of the most dar
ing feats of horseback riding ever wit
nessed outside of a circus ring. Buys
vou are'-not in it. Home of these irirls
stick to a wild horse as if they bad grown
fast.
