Ilinman Never in tUe history of southern Wasco county has the prospect been brigbier for -a bumper wheat cropland if conditions are fayor able during tbe next six weeks the farmers will reap big returns ou their time and efforts. A ride across the fertile and beautiful Juniper Flat is enough lo convincone that this section of the state, while yet iinevploited to any great extent, bids fair to become as famous as son e of the most noted wheat belts in the NorthweBt. The rapid progress tn tbe past few years is due lo three things: Transpoitation, ad equate faeilstles in the way of handling the grain and the new up-to-date methods of the enter prising farmers iu tilling the land. What is known as Juniper Flat comprises an area of approximate ly 15 by 20 miles, and the greater portion of it is adapted to wheat raising. The country is compara tively level, stretching from the Deschutes river oft the ean to White river on the west, whi hr forms the northern bouudry of this section. Just across the river is the Wamic country, an area smaller than that of Juniper Flat but equally as productive. But tbe advent ot the Oregcu Trunk and o. W. R. & N. rail roads up tbe Deschutes river, all tbe grain in this section of the country was fraighted across the hills to '1 be Dalles, a distance of over 40 miles. The haul over Tygb grade, the mountainous-like ridge north of White river, itself required the greater part of one day. The greatest problem in those days was transporting the grain to the snipping point. But the construction of tbe railroads up tbe Deschutes solved the big problem. Both roads tap this (ectioii of the country at Maupin a thriving little town on the De schutes 50 miles from the Colum bia river and 153 miles from fort land. Always ready to take ad vantage of any opportunity, tbe farmers in the Juniper Flat and Wamic legions a few years ago abandoned the system of sacking tbe grain and today it is all ship ped iu bulk.
