ANY MERCHANT, - Bend, Oregon. Dkaii Sih: 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 Ac WAREHOUSE COMPANY mnnufaaures splendid flour. I hhvc Irlcd it thoroughly and find it most satisfactory. All my neighbors use it, the bakeries use it, and everyone who wants to booft Bcncl industries uses it. The "Bend's Best Patent" retails as cheaply as any really first class flour I can get, and the "Deschutes Straight Grade" & 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 see my money go out of town for stuff made somewhere else. The other day I went throagh 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 are 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 thatit is very cheap. It sounds good to me because it is MADE IN BEND. v f i ' r ' - i 7-, . -- --- ----- 4f Information for the Homeseeker xfl - Kvorr Imuo of Tho Hullo- tin records tho progress of Central Oregon nmt tho llond country.

An extensive distributing buslnoss already Is bolng conductod from llond, to tho country aouth nnd Bouthoast, nnd with tho rogutnr opor- nllon of automohllo truck lines, tho vol it mo of this business Is vastly In creasing. 1'ractlcally all of western Harney county, and northern Iako and Klamath, will got supplies In by way of llond, nnd In return will export via Ilcnd enormous clips of wool. In connection with thla latter pro duct nnd Its shipment here, tho rail roads havo announced that every Juno thoro Is to bo a regular wool inlo nt llond. This means that wool from all ovor Interior Oregon will bo collcctod horo, that buyers will come horo, that thousands of sheep will bo shonred hero, and that, In tho very near futuro, woolon mills will bo established. In all surveys that havo been mndo for n branch Hill road to tho southoust. to command connection with nlllllatod roads and an outlet In that direction, llond has been niudo the terminus point. Irrigation. , A Caroy Act Irrigation aegregatlon embracing approximately 200,000 acres, lies to tho east and north of llond. This land Is watored undor tho supervision of tho Stato of Ore gon, and becomes tho property of Bottlers who acqulro It by rcsldonco nnd Improvomont, paying from JIB to $40 nn aero for water service, with nn nnnuul maintenance chargo of 20 to 80 conta nn acre, tho lowest maintenance rato In operation.

Alfalfa, clovor, grain, pota toes nnd othor root crops, Including sugnr boots, do romnrkably woll. Tho ylold of butter tat from tho grnssoB Is exceptionally great, and this, combined with tho puro soft wntor, nnd tho lack of excessive hoat and cold, destines this territory to tako tho front rank ob n dairy country.

Tributary to Bend on the south east la a hugo dry farming area, em bracing moro than 250,000 acres of level nnd rolling aago brush land, with deep soil, no trees and rocks, and with well water obtainable nt moderate depths. Much of this territory has been settled by homestcadora during tho last year, nnd ninny families aro dally taking advnntago of thla last big chnco to got freo Government land. The majority of tho ncrcago Is open to homestcadlng under tho 320 aero law, which allows tho freo acquisition of that amount In return for residence and proportional annual cultivation nnd Improvement. Tho homestead laws nre bolng mndo oaslor and more attractive, with tho result that moro and moro settlers come to llend and make homes on this land tributary to tho town. Good roads extend through thla country, and dally auto nnd stago lines tap it from Uend, to which Its products will come on down grado hauls to bo milled with tho Inex haustible water power of tho Des chutos River Immediately below llond, whoro a dam is being con structed at a cost of about $00,000. Tho work In connection with this summer's dovolopment of the new canal will roquiro nn oxpendlture of $175,000. All or this money will bo spent cIobo to llend. Tho entire Bystom will requlro approximately $700,000 to complete. Timber. Tributary to llond, on down grado hauls, Is 20,000,000,000 foot of tho finest yellow plno tlmbor. llesldes providing tho choap powor for tho milling of this enormous timber bolt, llend offers tho host of mill pond facilities. Tho manufacture of this timber at llond Is a cortalnty, for tho largest of tho companies intorestod aro heavy prbporty owners In llond lands nnd watorpowor developments, nnd havo slgnlflod tholr Intention of lo cating tholr big mills horo. At prosont there nro several smaller mills, employing In tho neighborhood of 150 men. Whllo these manufacture lumber primarily for local consumption, not only nro many carloads exported to tho towns north of llend, but also many nro shipped to tho mlddlo western mar kets, which lator will bo supplied heavily with tho llond lumber pro ducts. Wnter Tower Thoro Is at least 250,000 horso powor oaBlly obtainable from tho Doschutes at and noar Dond. Alroady a 1700 horsopower plant Is In operation In tho town, which offers aa cheap electric power for domestic and manufacturing uses as Is obtainable In tho Northwest. Tho Inoxhaustlblo and cheap power at her doors guarantees fiend's exten slvo manufacturing future. Itccrrntlon. Tho man who comes to Dcnd or tho adjacent sections of Central Ore gon will bo agreeably surprised at tho ploasant surroundings ho will encountor, both In what nature has supplied nnd tn social matters. For Instance, a University Club recently was organlted In Doud with 30 charter members. That Indicates tho character of tho men who are building up Central Oregon. The sportsman will find tho llond country a veritable paradise. Fish ing lu tho Deschutes Is a famous attraction, that river's giant trout bringing sport lovers from nil parts of tho Northwest. Deer, bear, rab bits, sago hens, ducks, geese, swans and other gamo afford amplo recre ation for tho out-door lover along tho river nnd In tho foothills. Canoeing nnd boating directly at llond and up tho broid reaches of tho Deschutes, coupled with excellent auto roads, horso back riding possi bilities without end, nnd near by snow clad mountain peaks, combine near llond Interest for every sort of nature lover and health soeker.
