Dkau Sm:
Kindly give me credit for the flour which I am returning herewith, and in its place send
me FLOUR MADE IN BEND.
The BEND MILLING U WAREHOUSE COMPANY manufa&urcs splendid flour. I
have tried it thoroughly and find it moft satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries,
use it, and everyone who wants to boost Bend industries uses it.
The "Bend's Best Patent" retoils as cheaply as any really first class flour I can get, and the
"Deschutes Straight Grude" is the biggest kind of a bargain. But even if I had to pay a trifle
more I'd rather buy a product MADE IN BEND than sec my money go out of town for stuff
made somewhere else.
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 to me all Bend women
should use their flour. Yours for a bigger Bend,
A BEND HOUSEWIFE.
P.S.
By the way, send me 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.

MuthoMt, and with tno regular oper-
atlon of automobllo truck lines, thai
voluruo of this business Is vastly In
creasing. Practically all of western Uaraoy
county, and northern Lako nnd
Klamath, will got supplies In by way
of llend, and In return wilt export
via Dond enormous clips of wool.
In connection with this latter pro
duct and Its shipment here, tho rail
roads havo announcod that every
Juno thoro Is to bo a regular wool
salo at Ilnd. This moans that wool
from all over Interior Oregon will
bo collected hero, that buyers will
como horo, that thousands of shoop
will bo sheared horo, and that, In
tho very near future, woolon mills
will bo established.
In all surveys that havo boon
mado for n brauch Hill road to tho
southeast, to command connection
with amitatod roads and an outlet
In that direction, Uond baa been

Irrigation.
A Carey Act Irrigation segregation
embracing approximately 200,000
acres, lies to tho. east and north of
llond, This land la watored under
tho supervision of tho 8tato of Oro
gon, and becomes tho property of
settlors whcTacqirtro It by rosldonco
and Improvomont, paying from 15
to 1 40 an aero for wator aorvlco,
with an annual maintenance chargo
of 20 to 80 cents an acre, tho lowost
malntenauco rato In operation.
Non-lrrlgablo acreage Is purchased
at $1. B0 an aero.
Directly adjoining Dond aro two
othor Irrigation enterprises, both
conductod on n fanners' co-operatlvo
basis, and both exceedingly prosper
ous. On tho Irrigated lundB nil tho pro
ducts of tho tomporato xono prosper.
Tho soil and cllmato, however, aro
particularly adapted to the success
ful' production of grasses and root
cropo. Alfalfa, clover, grain, pota
toes and othor root crops, Including
sugar hoeta, do remarkably woll.
Tho ylold of butter fat from tho
graBBes Is exceptionally groat, and
this, combined with tho pure soft
wator, nnd tho lack of excessive heat
and cold, destines this territory to
tako tho front rank as n dairy
couutry. Tho establishment of a
largo eroamory at llond, and tho aid
given farmers In socurlng flno cows
by tho local bnnks, moans that a man
with forty noroa who will raise grass
and fcod It to his cows will bo as
surod of a comfortablo living.
Work is now In progress upon a
groat now irrigation canal, known as
tho North Canal, which will Irrigate
some 50,000 acres of land. Tho
caual gets Us wator from tho Dcs-
chutes.
Dry Farming.
Tributary to Dond on tho south
east is a hugo dry farming area, em
bracing moro than 260,000 acres of
level and rolling sago brush land,
with deep soil, no trees and rocks,
and with woll wator obtainable at
moderate depths.
Much of this territory has been
settled by homestoadors during tho
last yoar, and many families nro
dally taking advantago of this last
big chnco to get froo Oovornmont
land. Tho majority of tho acroago
Is open to homesteadlng undor tho
320 aero law, which allowa tho free
acquisition of that amount In return
for resldcnco and proportional annual
cultivation and Improvomont Tho
homestead laws aro being mado
easier nnd moro attractive with the
result that mora and moro settlors
como to Uond and mako homes on
this land tributary to tho town.
Good roads extend through this
country, and dally auto and atago
lines tap It from Uond, to which Its
products will como on down grado
hauls to be milled with tho Inex
haustlblo wator power of tho Des
chutes Rlvor Immediately below
Dond, whoro a dam la being con
structed at a cost of about C0,000.
Tho work In connection with this
summor'a development of the now
canal will requlro an oxpendlturo
of $175,000. All of this money will
bo spent closo to Uond. Tho entire
system will require approximately
$700,000 to complote.
Timber.
Tributary to Dond, on down grado
hauls, Is 20,000,000,000 feet of tho
finest yollow pine tlmbor. Ucsldos
providing the cheap power for tho
milling of this enormous tlmbor belt,
Dond offers tho bost of mill pond
facilities.
"Tho manufacture of this tlmbor
at Dond Is a cortainty, tor tho largest
of tho companies intorested nro
heavy proporty owners In Dond lands
and waterpowor developments, and
havo signified their lutontton of lo
cating their big mills here.
At presont thoro aro several
smaller mills, employing In tho
neighborhood of 160 mon. Whllo
thoso manufacture lumber primarily
for local consumption, not only nro
many carloads exported to tho towns
north of Dond, but also many nro
shlppod to tho middle westorn mar
kets, which later will bo suppllod
heavily with tho Dond lumbor pro
ducts. Wutcr Tower
Thoro Is at loast 260,000 horse
power easily obtolnablo from tho
Doschutos at nnd nonr Dond.
Alroady a 1700. horsopowor plunt
Is la operation In tho town, which
offers as cheap electric powor for
domestic and manufacturing uses as
Is obtalnablo In tho Northwest- Tho
Inexhaustlblo and cheap power at
hor doors guarantees Oend's exten
sive manufacturing tuture.
Itecreatlon.
Tho man who comes to Dend or
tho ndjacont soctlons of Control Oro
gon will bo agreeably surprised at
tho pleasant surroundings bo will

For Instance a University Club

3G charter members. That indlcatea
tho character of tho men who aro
building up Control Orogon.
Tho sportsman will find tho Dend
country a vorltablo paradlso. Fish
ing In tho Deschutes Is n famous
attraction, that rlvor's giant trout
bringing sport lovers from all parts
of the Northwest. Doer, bear, rab
bits, aago Lens, ducks, geese, swans
and other gamo afford amplo recre
ation for tho out-door lover along
tho rlvor and In tho foothills.
Canoeing and boating directly at
llond and up tho broad reaches of tho
Deschutes, coupled with oxcollont
auto roads, horso back riding possi
bilities without ond, and noar by
snow clad mountain peaks, combine
noar Dond Interest for every sort of

Doschutes Canyon la tho most strik
ingly beautiful railroad trip in tho
Northwest, and, say lovers of flno
scenery, Is in Itsolf well worth the
Journoy.
