Fred Sherwood, f Sherwood
Bros., proscious farmers .living
between llcnd nmt Kcdmnnd, was
in Bend Wednesday, lie rexnts
tliat ctopi ntc looking flue in his
viciuity mid thnt there is going lo
lie n much better yield than wiih nt
first exacted when the Nprlng was
no cold mid Iwickwiinl. In fact, the
yield of all crops is going to he
very satisfactory.
The llullctin rciwtcr asked Mr.
Sherwood whnt, in his judgment,
unproved land on the I). I. & I',
segregation will he worth when the
Central Oregon railroad Is huilt
into this section. He replied that
figuring from what the land would
rnrn it would easily be worth 135
an acre. Mr. Sherwood bases his
figures on the criming capacity of
the land from grain crops, using
oats nt a cent n pound as n basis.
The Sherwood Ilros. were very suc
cessful with oats lust year and
every indication now is that they
will be as successful or even more
so this season. Mr. Sherwood
dates that their oats will undoubt
edly yield from 60 to 75 bushels
per acre.
Mr. Sherwood's method isn busi
ness like way of figuring the value
of laud. Hut the largest returns
from land in this Mct'ou will never
be made from grain crops. That
it generally conceded. More money
will come into the farmer's ockct
through the raiding of clover, al
falfa, and root croW with some
grainand then converting it all
into fat sheep, cattle and hog, or
by engaging in the dairy husiiicts.
In that umiiner will the most money
he made, and the earning capacity
of the laud will exceed in a pleasing
degree even the satisfying fixure
estimated by Mr. Sherwood.

Wallace Trill, representing the
Pacific Monthly, was in Bend dur

.mil statistics for thu annual home
hcekerh' edition of that magazine.
The edition this year will be de
voted entirely to Central and Kast
rrn Oregon, and will fiiruiMi this
Msction with some excellent ndver
lining. The country will be thor
oughly written up, its numerous
resources described in 11 .suitable
wanner, and the article will lie il
lustrated with a number of cuts
showing scene in this jkiiI of the
state. The advertising value of
this feature is apparent when it is
known that the homeseekers' edi
tion will consist of 1 50,000 copies, u
large number of which will U- cir
culated iu the Hast. The articles
will appear In the October number.

page space to run through four is

will carry the company's ad. and
will cost 131. Besides the ad,
Ilend will have due mention in the
reading columns, and three views
of Ilend scenery will be printed in
the issue, cuts of which have been
loaned the Monthly by The lltil

He departed between trains, or

1111 item or two appearing therein
soon after Mr. Seabury took charge
of it. The quotation iu question
reads," We fly with our own wings."
The llullctin would add, "Hut we

I.. II. Stephenson, sent out by
thu Oregon Commission of the
Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Imposition,
was iu Ilend Wednesday and Thurs
day. Mr. Stephenson is traveling
over this part of the state working
up exhibits to le scut to the fair
and taking photographs of various
development features. He got
three excellent views of the head
gates and flume of the I). I. tit i'
Co., and also 11 view of Joe Burk-
hoU's ranch showing a field of
clover hay in the shock and his
large vegetable garden. Mr.Steph
eusou was much pleased with these
views and csccially with those of
the hcailgatcs and Hume, remark
ing that they showed great enter
prise and development.
These photos will lc made into
stcrcopticon views 10 or 30 feet

lectures that will be given during
the fair. The lecturer will be thor
oughly informed as to each picture
and the section and enterprise it
represents, and as it is thrown on
the .screen he will explain it iu de
tail. It is readily seen what an ex
cellent means ol advertising this
will lie. The entire state will be
advertised in this manner.
Mr. Stephenson came in from
the south, having been at Lake

He has a numhc of views of those
sections and got the promise of dif

Surveying Crew Makes Rapid Prog
ress and lias about Reached Mad
rasSuccess Assured.
The Ihilletiu continues to have
nothing but thu best of news to re
ort regarding the Central Oregon
Railroad. V. A. Wynn, the right-of-wuy
man, reached lleud this
week after having worked quite
thoroughly the Redmond section.
Mr. Wynn has Imen temporarily
taken from the work of .securing
right-of-way and has been solicit
ini' Atihscrifitions. He rcnorls verv
satisfactory success iu this work.
Redmond people have already sub-scrik-d.
iu work and material, clos
to Ss.Soo. This can easily be
raised to 7. 500. Subscriptions at
lleud and viciuity still continue to
come iu and before another week
closes it is confidently believed
that this section of thu county
not counting Madras or Prinevillc
will have siibscrilxrd for $100,000
worth of stock. Everything indi
cates that at the present writing.
Mr. Wynn is now at Laidlaw car
rying 011 the good work at that
place. The llullctin will probably
begin next week the publication of
a list of those who have subscribed
with the amounts given.
The surveyors are making rapid
progress and arc covering about
six miles of preliminary line each
day. They are now close to Mad
ras. After teaching Madras they
may return and locate the line from
O'Xeil to Madras, but probably
the line will be continued to Shan
iko and location made later.
The "ifs" are beginning to drop
out of the proposition of building
the Central Oregon Railroad The
work is progressing with such pleas
ing regularity and has gotten along
to such n point that the success of
the enterprise can be practically
assured.
Railroad Notes.
The Bulletin has it on reliable
authority that about four months
ago Harriuiau had arrangements
completed to take over all the stock
of the Oregon Trunk Line, with
the exception of the stock owned
by I.. I. Gregory . Gregory got
wind of the deal, however, and was
able to stop it, due to some sort of
a K)oling agreement previously ex
isting. If Harrimau had succeeded
iu getting the-slock he would have
secured control of the Trunk Line.
It wilt lc remembered that the
Trunk Line is a road projected up
the Deschutes river from its mouth,
by Seattle and Portland capitalists,
among whom are L. J. Gregory
and W. 1 Nelson.
Harriniau alteady has a survey
tip theI)eschutei canyon on the op
posite side to that of the Oregon
Trunk Line, and if he had secured
K)sse.ssiou of this latter line he
would hoys hrjd the Deschutes river
canyon safely iu his control nm!
Centra! Oregon all the more secure
ly bottled up, which undoubtedly
was the object in view. It simply
proves that this .section should not
rely upon Harriuiau for transpor
tation but should bend all its ener
gies to building the road backed by
local enterprise, the Central Ore
gon. The Chicago Post of July at
says that work on the reconstruc
tion of the Shasta Route has been
liegttu. It is stated that ;? 10,000,
000 will be required to carry out
the plans, the building of 288 miles
of new road being involved. It is
stated that the road will be relocat
ed over the Siskiyou mountains.
Iu connection with its reconstruc
tion, it is stated, Mr. Harriniau
contemplates the construction of a
line, 303 miles iu length, running
from Ontario, Id., on the state line
between Idaho and Oregon almost
directly west to Kugcnc, Oregon,
where the Shasta Route will rejoin
the old line. These undertakings, it
is stated, will involve the expendi
ture of between $40,000,000 and
$50,000,000.

chief topic for consideration. The
object of the convention is to dis

hut iu other lines also. It is ex
pected that a large number of dele

principal towns of both states and
among these delegates will be many
prominent men. The cougrcss can
undoubtedly accomplish much good

curing railroad connections between
this section r.nd Coos Bay it will
have performed a great service.

C. II. Kelley was a visitor from

our reporter he said that he was
very much pleased with the irri
gating well he has dug, although
it is a great deal larger than was
necessary. He first made an exca

level, then bored three holes in one
comer to put the hose iu to keep
the well dry while the excavation
was being completed. To the sur
prise of all he was unable to dimm
ish the flow of water to a percepti
ble degree, although he kept bis

his well holds out, of which he has
