MANY ACRES CtEi
Ranches Are Being Pre

NEW SBTTLGRS ARK COMINQ
IIhIJwIii and Johnston Ranches, Lylne

of Much flood Work.
A dtive cast of Demi n few miles
on the Hear creek rotul will cnilin
size very clearly the fact thnt the
Bend country it gradually develop
lug, nnd that the , sagebrush nnd
jumper mint give way to fields of
grain Mini fruitful oiclmrdii Many
now settlers are moving onto land
purilmted by them, limine, (turns
and feucrs are being built, .and the
land is being clvttrcl and dowed.
Last Sunday the writer took n
very pleaaaut drive 10 miles cant to
the Baldwin ranch, a large tract
comprising 1,900 acres, mid owned
ly a company ol wliicli K. A Hnw.
win, of the I). I. & I'. Co., iit one
of the principal stockholders. As
otic appioacheM this ranch, the one
thing that attracts immtriiatc attcn
turn is a fine, large, red barn with
white trimmings. This burn meas
ures about .10x60 feet, with a .spa
cious liny loft, and Ik modem in ev
ery reftpect. It is pleasing to the
eye and ut a prophecy of the kind
of building that will mime uay Ic
found over thin region.
Beside the barn, there is a com
fortable house on the ranch and
several other lnn buildings such
as sheds, tool house, etc Iu a few
wei's ttotk will lie commenced 011
a i-ouiitiodimift and comfortable cot
tage, which will contain many mod-
ern improvement in the way of
iMths, hot and cold water, etc.
The ranch is being cleared and
put under cultivation as rapidly as
possible. At present tuwe are
about 150 actcs cleared and plowed,
part of which was into, crap this
I last season. Charles , Heed has a
I force of six or eight men clearing
.too acres on the .ranch, for which
he has the contract. Another con
tract for the clearing -of 2&0 acres
has lccii let to George, HoUbs and
1-. C. ltowlee. who will nut their
crew ol men and teams at the work 1
iu a few weeks. Thutc will prob-
! ably lie from 500 to 000 acres tinder
cultivation on this ranch during
ll he' season of 1907.
C. L. Eaton is superintendent of
I the ranch, and is pushing it de
velopment with commendable zeal.
At the Johnston Umicli.
(loirgv Hold ia mat finishing
the clearing of 1,080 acre on the
Johnston ranch. I his work was
Icommcuced a little more than a
year ago. It demonstrates that the
task of clearing laud iu the Item!
country is not a very difficult tin-
klcrtukuig when the work th tackled
by an energetic man, who employs
the proper equipment of men and
tools. By fur the greater portion of
this large tract will be put into crop
next season.
This ranch is also well eiiuipiwd
(with buildings. There u a large
house which is usud for ollice and
dining room purposes. A barn
f.ioxOo feet supplies stable room, for
part of the stock, while .several head
arc stabled iu a large tent with a
jcapaclty to hold 24 horses. There
lire also suitable bunk houses,
sheds, etc.
The Johnston ranch has been a
busy place for the past year. While
the work u( clearing the laud was
ju progress, 11 visitor happening on
the ranch when the men were re
turning from their work, would
jiuvc seen from 20 to to men com-
jug iu from the fields, several of
them driving four- and six-horse
teams, While the crews were at
work the junipers were being
lulled up by the roots, piled up and
utrncd, the laud was being plowed
pud leveled, mid -laterals built. .Tlif
main laterals for this large tract are
now largely built or In process of
construction. I he trausformatiop
from sagebrush to growing gram
will be illustrated on a large scale
next season.

HOW STORIES QKOW.
Iho Death of Old drizzly Told with n
Few Additions to the Pacta.
The following account of the
chase and death of the old grizzly

how stories grow iu .the telling. It
will be noticed that Itrock knocked
the old grizzly down with a club
a very brave deed. The Review's
account follows.

WILL SURELY BUILD
Ties and Rails Bought for
Extension of C. & E.
WILL BE liETJUN NEXT SPRING
' "t
Bend Man Is Toid.Jnildc Facts by One
In Closo Touch with Management
of the Corvnllls & llastcrn.
The statement is now made on
good authority that the tics, rails
nud all building materials arc now
purchased, for the extension of the
CorvalHs & Eastern across the state
to connect with some transconti
nental line 611 the eastern border
of Oregon. The statement also an
nounces that work will certainly be
commenced next spring.
The Bulletin gets the story from
a reliable citizen of Bend, whose
name we are not nt liberty to dis J
close. Last summer four men con-,
nected with this railroad passed
through Rend running over the
old survey of the Corvallis & East
ern. One of these men was an old
time friend of the Bulletin's in
formant and while here told the
Rend ticntlemau the above facts.
and insisted that the extension wasi
a certainty. The man telling the
story has been connected with thci
railroad's engineering department
for many years.
These four men were very careful
to keep the public from learning
the object of their visit. Indeed,!
they were so silent and discreetj
that apparently no one in Bend,
except this one man, knew any
thing regarding them. They estab
lished cumt) at various places aloug
the line of the old survey, bought
provisions at Pritteville. told no one
their business, nnd ou the whole
wcre'ulum ns clams. Tlfty finished
their work, returned to their offices,
and the public was none the wiser.
Now the story leaks out.
The statement, coming from a
man in close touch witfc the C. &
E., that the ties, rails, etc., are
purchased for the extension of that
road will be good news to the peo
ple of this region. Many pin their
faith on the C. & E.. believing
j that it will be the first railroad into
uenu. 11 1 numtueu uy an mui
such n line would be the best possi
ble one for this section, .as it would
give direct connection with a Pacific
port nnd would open transportation
ou a direct line with the Middle
West and Eastern -etatcs
Statements nre made without
number of railroad extension.- and
the mils nre not laid for years, un
til suddenly the final announcement
is made and the laug looked for
iron horse comes int new lauds
Is this the final nnnonuoeuictir?
Senator Clark May Uulld into Oregon.
Senator W. A. Clark of Montana
is interested in Central Oregon nnd
may extend a railroad into the
state to tao its fast developing re
sources. That the senator has his
eye ou Oregon is shown by the fol?
lowing uewa item appearing in n
recent number of the Portland
Journal. The article also shows
that Clark is interested iu the Cor
vnliis & Eastern. The article fol
lows. "Washington, Dec. 15. Colo

lamette valley interests; Peter Log

"The Oregoa bleu showed Sen-
: . '. .
ator Clark maps antf furnished him
with statements of the. products of
the country which the desired ex
tension would reach, and which the
senator said were surprising and
gratifying. He was particularly
interested in statistics of the Umber
resources of the region proposed to
be tapped by the extension, the de
mand for this product in Nevada
mines being at the present time
enormous.
"Senator Clark promised that lit
would have experts examine the
country and the routed suggested,
and received an urgent invitation
to visit Oregon personally to look
into the situation.. Clark was in
tcrcsted in the routefrom Yaquina
bay to the Mount Jefferson country
through Santiam pass, operated by
the Hammond railway line (the
Corvallis & Eastern), and asked
many questions concerning it."
