Itallrtmds. In Octnbor, 1011, tho Hill and Harrlman railroad syatoma com pletod to Ilond tholr Oregon Trunk and Dcachutoa lines. Ilond la the terminus of both ot thoio roads. Tho handaomo depot, eroctod with uatlvo atono, and tho boat equipped worohousp. In, tlvo state Indite, In what Importance th,o railroad com panies hold, rieud. Au extenalve distributing bualnosa nlroady, Is Mug conduced, from Ilond, to the country aouiu anu Isotithoast, and with tho regular oper ation of automobile truck lines, tho volume of this business Is vastly In creasing. Practically all of western Harney county, and northern Lake and i. orders In early. Klamath, will got supplies In by way of Ilond, and In return will export va Ilond enormous clips ot wool. In connection with this latter pro duct and Ita shipment hero, tho rail roads have announced that ovory June thcro Is to bo a regular wool sale at Ilond. This means that wool from all over Interior Oregon will bo collected hero, that buyers will dime hero,, that thousands of ahcop will be ahenrod here, and that. In tho very nour future, woolen mills "III be established. In nil surveys that hnvo boon made for a branch Hill road to the southeast, to command connection with atUllatcd roada and an outlet In that direction, Ilond bus been made tho terminus point. Irrlgutlmi. A Carey Act Irrigation segregation embracing N approximately 00,000 acres, lies to tho east and north ot lloud. This land la watered undor tho super Islon of tho State of Oro gon, and becomes tho property of aottlora who acquire It by realdenca and Improvement, paying from $15 to J to an aero for water aorvlco. with an annual maluteuauco charge ot 20 to 80 ccnta an aero, tho towost malutonanco rate In operation. Non-lrilgablo acrengo Is purchased at $2.50 un acre. Directly adjoining Ilond aro two other Irrigation enterprises, both, conducted on a farmers' co-oporatlvo basis, and both exceedingly prosper ous, ' On tho Irrlgatod landa all tho pro ducts of tho tomporate sono prosper. Tho soil and cllmato. however, aro particularly adaptod to tho success ful production of graasos and root crops. Alfalfa, clover, grain, pota toes and other root crops, Including sugar boots, do remarkably well. Tho yield of buttor fat from tho grasses Is oxcoptlonally groat, aud this, combined with tho pure soft water, and the lack ot oxcosslvo heat and cold, destines this territory to 'take tho front rank as a dairy country. Tho establishment of a large creamery at Uend. and the aid gl,veu, farmers In, securing fine cows; by the' local banks, moans that a man with forty acres who will raise ;ra! and feed It to his cows will bo as sured of a comfortable living. Wjirk Js now In progress upon a great new Irrigation canal, known "W the North Cuual, which will Irrlgato aomet&Q.OOO acres ot (and. Tho' canaligots Its water from 'the Des chutes. ' Dry Farming. Tributary to Bend on tho south east Isu huge dry farming area, era. uraclug wore than 350)000 acres of lord and rolling ssgo brush land, with deep soil, no trees and rocks, and with woll wator obtainable at modernto depths. Much of this territory baa boon settled by .homeatoadors during tho last year, and many families aro dally taking 'advontago of this last big chnco to got free Government land. The majority ot tho acreage la opon to liouicatoadlng under the 320 aero law, which allows tho freo acquisition ot that amount In roturn for residence and proportional annual cultivation and Improvement. Tho homestoad laws aro bolnjr made easier and moro attractive, with tho result that moro and moro aottlora come to Ilond and mako homes on this land tributary to tho town. Good roads extend through this country, and dally auto and stage linos tap It from Ilond, to whleh Its products will come on down grade hauls to bo milled with tho Inex haustible wator power of tho Des chutes lllver Immediately below Ilond, - whoro a dam Is being con structed at n cost of about $00,000. Tho work In connection with this summer's development ot tho new canal will require an expondlturo of $176,000. All of Ibis money will bo spent closo to Ilond. The entire system will require approximately $700,000 to complete. Timber. Tributary to Dend, on down grade hauls, Is 20,000,000.000 foot ot the finest yellow pine timber. Ilcaldcs providing the cheap power for the milting of this enormous timber belt. Uend offers the best of mill pond facilities. Tho manufacture ot this tlmbor at Dend Is a certainty, for the largest of tho companies Intereatcd aro heavy property owners In Dond lands and watorpower developments, and have signified tholr Intontlon of lo cating tholr big mills hero. At present thcro are sevoral smaller mills, employing In the neighborhood of ISO men. While these manufacture lumber primarily for local consumption, not only' are many carloads exported to tho towna north of Uend, but also many are shipped to tho middle western mar kets, which later will be auppllod heavily with tho Uend lumber pro ducts. Water Tower Thoro la at Icaat 250.000 bono power easily obtainable from the DeschutFV at and near Uend. Already a 1700 horsepower plant la In operation In tho town, which offers as cheap electric power for domestic snd manufacturing uses as Is obtainable In tho Northwest.

" l8 reecU the tow,Sr Je,u, POETRY HELPS CAMPAIGN U SOCIALIST CANDIDATE ALSO AUTHOR Mm. Delia Nichols Ifn-J Poem lllnlrd to Hell at Meeting Where Klir Kpeakn to Help the Work Along. Mrs. Delia Nichols of I.aldlaw la conducting a vigorous campaign for election as county nohool superin tendent on tho socialist ticket. A novel feature of her stumping Is the publication of severs! of her own socialistic poems, which have been attractively printed In a leaflet and are sold at the meetings where she speaks, the proceeds bHng used to defray the expenses of tho campaign. Ilelow Is tho text o( some of tho verses: Till: DAWN OF SOCIALISM. The light ot day Is breaking. O'er the eastern hilltops high, And the shades of night receding, Vanish from the morning sky. And as the mighty shadows Uy the sun are driven far, 8o shall greed and wrong and profit Nevermore earth's pless'ures mar. For the light ot love Is breaking O'er the bonds ot sin and shame. And Its beams shall fill the nations With a steady glorious flame. It Is coming, surely coming, And tho dsy Is close at hand. When. Instead of strife and hatred. Lovo and truth shall fill the land. Then Join the band of workers. Who stand so true and brave Aud strive for tho rule of Justice And your fellow men to save. APPILM. TO Till: WOItKHItS. Awake, ye worklngmcn, awako. Cast the scales from off your eyes, See the web that's woven round you, Hear your suffering brothor's cries. It Is time to rouse to action, You have slept by far, too long. Illsa up In your strength and numbers. Vote for right Instead of wrong. Ye are like so many cattle. Driven on from day to day, For tho woalthy are your masters And in reverence you obey. You are forced to labor steady For your dally cruat ot bread. While the Idle, la their mansions, On dainty tare are ted. And the freedom that you boast of. And the liberty you claim. The protection and ihe Justice All are yours, alone In name. This Is not what God Intended Should reward all workers true. And He's waiting now. to aid you, If you'll only dare and do. Ol'K HHATHUN. I heard a prooeher telling In a crowded church ono day. Of the poor bonlshted bcathon In tho countries far away. He told of the cruel cuatom Of enslaving the'r fellow men, Ot tho beat'ngs oft that are given. And the tortures fine and again. He told ot tho women and children Oppressed by fashions so vain, Of the superstition and darkness. And their greed for money and gain. He told ot tho Imagas golden They worship In blindness and sin Instead of our dear Lord and Savior. Who died that their souls He mlsht win. Oh, sad are tho lives of these creatures, Their homes flllod with aorrow aud woe; Would to God they would oast out their sinning, And their hearts In Christ s like ness would grow, Hut here. In our own christian country Our boasted land of the free Are heathen Just as benighted As the heathen over the sea. Here tho poor are oppressed, by the mighty. Tho hand of profit and greed Has mado slaves ot tolling millions Whom tho blood ot our fathors had freed. It has poisoned the heart of tho natlona With exploiting, monopoly and strife; It has robbed tho world ot Its blessings And cast out the richness of life. It has entered our homes with Its vllouess. Has misled our daughters and sons; It has placed the nation's safety In the uso ot cannons and guns. It has robbed Uttla babe ot their parents, And forces the children to toll; Its mission Is gathering riches. And overy good work It will toll. Lo, this- monster has entered our J churches, With his rule of might and greed, ' . .. .w ...i i., .ni.Kin. i'.fn i.im Wltjh his teachings pure and true, And" make Him appear as men today, With lov for tho wcalthyTow. Ho, the heathen blindness, who W&rWp In And the christian In knowledge of God, Llvo lives that are equal In sinning. And trust to might and tho rod, How can we teach the poor heathen Tho Joys of a christian life, Whon our own lives weighed in tho balance fihow nothing but malice and strife? OH, children of Ood, are you dreaming? ' ' While this danger so vast and so great " ', Is threatening the life of the nations. The. homo, church, college, and state? Arise, as becomoth true Christiana, And vote for the rule of right, That the earth may bo Oiled with plenty. With beauty and lovo and light. THK FATK OF THE TITANIC. (Tune: Auld Lane Syne.) On a clear night -In tho balmy spring. When the breezes softly blew, And the sliver radiance of the stars. Gleamed white o'er the waters bluo Across the ocean so wide snd deep, Like a bird on the billowy aea Tho Titanic came with two thousand uU' . . . u For quean of the sea was she. Chorus; Yes. smoothly she sailed tho treach- .. crous sea, With her cargo of human freight. jNe'er heeding the danger lurking near, Nor the warning, 'till 'twas too late. Twas a monster ship on her maiden voyage. And she sped o'er the waves like wind. While alt on board -were merry and gay, ? Leaving sorrow and care behind. All feeling secure In the strength of the ship. Seeking comfort and worldly Joy; When all ot a sudden she struck the Ice. And It wrecked her there llkea toy Then sorrow reigned In place ot mirth When the hidden band wrought such woe. There loved ones true, In close embrace. Met their fate la the aea below. Others parted In tears at the vessel's Jldc When the life boats all were filled; And some sang "Nearer, My God. to Thee." Till tho song the cold waves stilled. O. let us take heed from this warning of God, Where rich and poor met one fate, And trust not the riches that perish , with rust, Dut turn before Its too late. Let us live for the cause that Is holy and Just. For our fellow men humble and poor To rid the world of sin and or strife And make It moro holy and pure.
