Itallroads. In October. 1911, tho Hill and Harrlman railroad systems com pleted to Bend tholr Oregon Trunk and Deschutes lines. Bend is the terminus of both ot theso roads. The bandsomo depot, crcctod with native stone, and the best oqulpped warehouse in tho state. Indicate in what importance the railroad com panics hold Bend. An extensive distributing business already Is being conducted from Bend, to the country south and southeast, and with tho regular oper ation of automobilo truck lines, tho volume of this business is vastly in crossing. Practically all of western Harney county, and northern Lake and Klamath, will get supplies In by way ot Bend, audita return will export vln Bond enormous clips ot wool In connection with this latter pro duct and IU shipment hero, tho rail rends hnvo announced that ovory Juno there la to bo a regular wool salo nt Bond. Thin moans that wool from nil over Interior Oregon will bo collected hero, that buyers will como hero, that thousands of sheep will bo ahoared hero, and that, In tho very near future, woolen mills will be established. In all surreys that hnvo boon mado tor n branch Hill rond to tho southeast, to command connection with atnitatod reads and an outlet In that direction, Hqnd haa been ntbdo the terminus in) Int. Irrigation, A Carey Act Irrigation segregation embracing approximately 200,000 aoreSr lies to tho vast and north ot Bend. This land Is wntored under tho supervision of tho State ot Ore gon, nud becomes tho property of sottlora who acquire It by residence and Improvement, paying from $15 to $40 an acre for wator sorvico, with an annual maintenance chargo of 20 to 80 conts nn aero, tho lowest maintenance rate In operation. Non-lrrlgablo ncreago Is purchased at $1.60 an acre. Directly adjoining Bend aro two other irrigation enterprises, both conducted on a tarmora' co-opcratlvo basts, and both exceedingly prosper ous. On tho Irrigated lands all tho pro ducts ot tho tomporato sono prosper. Tho soil and climate, however, are particularly adapted to tho success ful production ot grasses and root crops. Alfalfa, clover, grain, potn toes and other root crops, including sugar beeta. do remarkably well. Tho yield of butter fat from the grasses ts exceptionally great, and this, combined with tho pure soft water, and the lack ot excesslvo heat aud cold, destines this territory to take tho front rank as a dairy country. Tho establishment of a large creamery at Bond, and tho aid given farmers in securing fine cows by the local banks, means that a man with forty acres who will ralso grass and feed It to bis cows will bo as sured of a comfortablo living. Work ts now in progress upon n great now Irrigation canal, known, as tho North Canal, which will irrlgato somo CO. 000 acres of land. The canal gets' Its water from tho Des chutes lllvcr immediately below Bend, whore a dam Is being con structed at a cost of about $60,000. Tho work In connection with this summer's dovolopmont ot tho new cannl will require an expenditure ot $176,000. All ot this tuonoy will bo spent oloso to Bond. Tho ontlro system will require approximately $700,000 to comploto. Dry Knrmlng. Tributary to Bond on tho south east Is a liugo dry farming area, em bracing more Minn 250,000 acres of lovol and rolling sage brush land, with iloop noil, no trees nud rocks, and with well wntor obtainable at moderate depths, Much of this torrltory has been settled by homesteaders during tho Inst year, and many families are dnlly tnklug advantage of thta Inst big chnco to got treo Uovernmont land. Tho majority ot tho ncreago Is open to homestoadlng under tho 320 acre law, which allows tlio free acquisition of that amount In return fur residence nud proportional annual cultivation nud Improvement. Tho homestead laws aro doing mado caster nud more nttrnctlvo. with tho result that more and more settlors como to Bend and mnko homes on this laud tributary to tho town.
