The Hampton Butte country is developing remarkably, nccorditiR to V. Schrader, one of the pioneer homesteaders of Hampton Vallev, who drove iu to Bend Monday with a four-horse team to get wheat and rye seed, with which he will plant 40 acres tlm fall. In Hanpton Valley alone there are row 49 bouses and tents. Many m.iles'-tfr fence have been built, several hundred acres plowed and many more cleared, and dozsns ol wells dug, all reaching good water at slight depths. Indeed, Mr Schradcr says everything is highly premising, that new families are tneviag oti to their claims each week, and that thousands of acres as good as any now occupied re main to be taken up under the 320 acre homestead act. The new settlers are working hard net only to tame the raw laud but to build up a community. Two petitions have been signed by prac tically every resident in the valley, one for the establishment of a school and the second for a post office. In June there were 26 chil dren of school age in the valley. The school, says Mr. Schrader, is practically assured. The settlers desire that the new Frineville-Fife mail route, which has been in existence but a tew weeks, be operated from Prineville to Fife, thence to Hampton and thence back to Prineville via Held, instead of doubling back on the .Priaeville-Fife route as now. The prottosed change would make the weekly mail trip but two miles longer Mr. Schrader, who is a Bend en thusiast, was particularly anxious that Bend people understand the opportunities they are losinvr. "Bend is but a very few miles farther from us than is Prineville," said Mr. Schiader. "Coming this way there are absolutely no hill while the Prineville road is excess Ivcly hilly. But Bend people don't seem to care, while Prineville is working hard to get assd keep the fast increasing trade of the Hamp fea country. A very little money could put the Bend road into splen did shape, and a very little trouble cetiid bring Bead a lot of trade Of course when the railroad gets to Bead all of our country will trade here, and I suppose the mail will go froei here. And the building 01 the east-and-west line will renter all of the new country on Bend Nevertheless, Bend is lettini: a lot of money get away by being asleep now." Mr. Schrader came to this country from Davenport Wash His daughter, Emily, will come in to Bend to attend high school this winter. ICE CAVES DISCOVERED Also a Commodious Bear's Den In Remote Lava Bed. Fred Hughie George and Claude Vandevcrt, who were out with Ranger Hurd fighting fire west of Spring river, about two weeks ago discovered some interesting caves. Two of them were ice caves aad one a spacious bear's den bear ing evidences of use as winter quarters; The) did not have the tie or facilities for makine full explorations but exoect to make further examination later. These I caves are about 12 miles due west of the Vandevert ranch on Little River, in an infrequented locality From one of the caves ice was car ried tn Vandevert's and used in making ice cream for the party. Fred Hugie, a settler who was assisting the rangers in fighting fire, was the first man into these caves and claims the right .to have them bear his name. Ranger Hurd is said to desire to attach bis pome to them because they are within the territory over which lie watches and be must make official report ol the discovery. The Fore.t Sevice will doubtless give tliwutwicae name for the purpose ol tioa. rapid spread nud growth making it to nicunce to agriculture. Iir Oregon, as iu many other stales, there is a law requiring counties la remove it from roads ami individuals to destroy it if found in their fields To show thbse unfamiliar with it the exact nature of the plant samples of the thistle arc being displayed in sev eral of the realty ofiires. It is be lieved that a vety brief effort could entirely eradicate the weed and prevent its spread from the slight start it already has. BITS ABOUT TOWN. J.
