Spring' Needs?
SOUTHERN WASCO C
PLACE TO
Southern Wasco County is a
land that is yet practically un
explored by capital and it is a
large belt of upland wheat
country, lying between the Des
chutes river and, the Warm
Spring Indian reservation and
White river. -On the west is the
Cascade range of mountains with
their silent sentinels of snow
clad peaks that furnish the
moisture for the large cultivated
acreage tributary to Maupin.
Within this boundry there lies
about eight townships and at
least one-half is tillable soil that
will yield from 20 to 35 bushels
of wheat to the acre without
irrigation. On each side of the
Deschutes the land slopes
gradually toward the toward the
town of Maupin, which is situated
on two rail lines, and insures
quick transportation to market
for all products raised. Corn,
potatoes, fruit, and water
melons are grown with great
success, as the elevation is no
where over 1700 feet and the
Mr. Cyril Van Metre, Mr
Smith, Miss Mern Van Metre and

Dr. Hatfield the Dsiitl.st is in

climate is ideal.
' Plans are now under way
whereby this land will all be
under irrigation within the next
two years, after which the yield
will be unequaled in this or any
other section of the west. Al
most at the top of the Cascade
mountains is a natural reservoir
site and by constructing a dam
less than 100 feet long and 30
feet high, enough water can be
stored to cover at least' 80,000
acres of land.
To enjoy the immenseness of
the possibilities in this locality
you would have to leave the
train at Maupin and take the
automobile trip with one of the
Maupin Real Estate men over
the vast areas of both cultivated
and uncultivated lands. The
vacant lands are being Nipidly
taken and while the country is
yet new there will be very few
homesteads left by fall. If you
wish information Bend us word
and we will help you get a place
where you will be satisfied.

that in all the large territory he
covers, this place is one of the

to get here and meet his old
