ANY MERCHANT,
Bend, Oregon. ' ' "
DkauSir; ' l
Kindly give me credit for the flour which lam returning herewith, and in its place send
mc FLOUR MADE IN BEND. '
The BEND MILLING U WAREHOUSE COMPANY manufactures splendid flour. I
have tried it thoroughly end find it moft satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries
use it and everyone who wants to boosVBcnd industries uses it.
'"'i.'
f
c
I
The "Bend's Best Patent" retails as cheaply as any really first class flour I can gets and the
"Deschutes Straight Grade" is the biggest kind of a bargain. But even if I had to pay a trifle
more I'd rather buv a product MADE IN BEND than see my money cro out of town for stuff
sc.
made somewhere ci
The other day I went through the , local mill. It is splendidly equipped, clean as can be,
and altogether as valuable an addition to the town as we possibly could have. The mill people
have put their money in Bend, and arc spending it in Bend, and it seems a mc all Bend women
should use their flour. Yours for a bigger Bend,
A BEND HOUSEWIFE.
P.S.
By the way, send mc a sack of. PILOT BUTTE GRITS. My neighbor says it is the best
breakfast food she ever tried, and that it is very cheap. It sounds good to me because it is
MADE IN BEND.

Diroouy adjoining llond nro two
other Irrigation enterprises, both
conducted on a farmers co-opcrntlvo

On tho Irrigated lands all tho pro
ducts of tho tomporato xono prosper.
Tho soil and cllmato, however, are.
particularly adopted to tho Bucceaa
ful production of grasses and root
crops. Alfalfa, clover, grain, potn
toes and other root crops, Including
sugar hoots, do romnrknbly woll.
Tho yield of butter fat rrom tho

this, comblnod ulth tho pure soft

tho North Canal, which will Irrlgato

Dry Tanning.
Tributary to Dcnd on tho south
east Is a hugo dry farming area, em
bracing more than 250,000 acres ot
lovol and rolling sage brush land,
with deep soil, no trees and rocks,
and with well water obtainable at
modcrato depths.
Much of this torrltory has been
sottled by homesteadors during tho
last year, and many families aro
dally taking advantage of this last
big ebneo to get free Oovornment
land. Tho majority of tho acreago
Is open to homestoadlng undor tho
320 aero law, which allows tho free
acquisition ot that amount in return
for residence and proportional annual
cultivation and Improvement. Tho
homestoad laws nro bolng mado
oaslor and moro attractive, with tho
result that moro and moro sottlors

this land tributary to tho town.
Good roads extend through thia
country, and daily auto and atago

Tho work In connection with this
summer's development ot tho now

Itecreatlon.
Tho man who comes to Dcnd or
tho adjacent sections of Central Oro
gon will bo agreeably surprised at
tho pleasant surroundings ho will

For Instance, a University Club
recently was organized In Dend with
3G chartor mombors. That indicates
tho character ot the mon who aro
building up Central Orogon.
The sportsman will find tho Dend
country a veritable paradlso. Fish
