Itnllrouds.
In October, 1011, tho Kill nnd
llnrrlman railroad systems com
pleted to Ilond tholr, Oregon Trunk
and Doschutos linos.' Ilond Is tho
tornilnus "of both of theso roads.
Tho handsome depot, oroctod with

An oxtonslvo distributing business
ulroady Is bolng1 conducted from
Ilend, to the country south and
southonat, and with th regular oper

volume of this business Is vastly In

Irrigation.
A Carey Act Irrigation segregation
embracing approximately 200,000
acres, lies to tho east and north of
ilond. Thla land la watered under
tho supervision of tho State of Ore
gon, and becomes tho property of
settlers who acquire It by resldonce
and Improvement, paying from $15
to $40 an aero for water service,
with an annual raalntonanco charge
of SO to 80 cents an acre, tho lowest
maintenance rate In operation.
Non-lrrlgable nceago la purchased

Directly adjoining Ilend aro two
other Irrigation ontorprlaes, both
conducted 011 a farmers' co-operative
basis, and both exceedingly prosper
ous.
On the Irrigated lands all tho pro

Tho soil and cllmato, howover, are
particularly adapted to tho success
ful prodhctlon of grasses nnd root
crops. Alfalfa, clovor, grain, pota
toes and othor root crops, Including
sugar boots, do remarkably woll.
Tho yield of butter fat from the
grasses Is exceptionally groat, and
this, combined wlh tho puro soft
water, and tho luck of oxcesslvo heat
and cold, dostltics this territory to
tako tho front rank as n dairy
country. Tho establishment of a
lntgo creamery at Ilond, nnd tho aid
given farmers In socurlug fine cowh
by tho local banks, means that a man
with forty acres who will raise grass
and feed It to his cows will bo as
sured of a comfortable, living,
Work Is now in progress upon a
groat now Irrigation canal, known as
the North Canal, which will Jrrtgato

canal gets Its water from tho Dos

bracing more than 250,000 acres of
lovol and rolling sago brush land,
with dcop noil, no trocM and rocks,
and with woll wator ubtnlnablo at

Much of thin territory haa boon

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

of $175,000. All of this money will

Timber.
Tributary to Ilond. on down grade
hauls, Is 20,000,000,000 feet of tho
finest yellow plno timber. Jlesldcs
providing tho chonp powor for tho
milling of this enormous timber belt,
Ilend offers tho best of mill pond
facilities.
Tho manufacture of this tlmbor
at Ilend Is a cortalnty, for tho largest
of tho companies Interested aro
hoavy property owners In Ilond lands
nnd watcrpowor developments, nnd
have signified their Intontlon of lo
cating their big mills here.
AP prcson thoro nro several
smallor mills, employing In the
neighborhood of 1C0 men. While
f these manufacture lumber primarily1
for local consumption, not only nro
many carloads exported to tho towns
north of Ilond, but also many aro
shlppod to tho middle western mar
kets, which lator will bo supplied
heavily with tho Ilond lumber pro
ducts. Water Power
Thero Is at loast 250,000 horse
power easily obtainable from the
Deschutes at nnd near Ilend.
Already a 1700 horsepower plant
la In operation in tho town, which
otters ns cheap electric power for
domestic and manufacturing uses as
Is obtainable In tho Northwest. Tbo
Inexhaustible and cheap powor at
her doors guarantees "fiends oxton

Itecreation.
Tho man who cornea to Ilend or
tho adjacent sections of Central Ore
gon will bo agreeably surprised at
tho pleasant surroundings he will
oncountor, both In what naturo baa
supplied and In social matters.
For Instance a University Club
recently waa organlxcd In Ilond with
30 charter members. Thit Indicates
tho character of tho men who aro
building up Central Orogon.
The aportsman will find the Dend
country n veritable paradlso. Fish
ing In tho Deschutes Is a famous
attraction, that rlvor'a giant trout
bringing sport lovers from all parts
of thu Northwest. Door, boar, rab
bits sago hens, ducks, geese, swans
and other gnmo afford ample recre
ation for the out-door lover along
the rlvor and In tho foothills.
Canoeing and boating directly at
Ilond nnd up tho broad reaches of tho
Doschutos, coupled with oxcellont
auto roads, horse back riding possi
bilities without end, and near by
snow clad mountain peaks, combine
near Ilend Interest for every sort of
nature lover and health aeeker.
How to Get Hero
From Portland take either the
"North Hank Railroad" or tho Oregon-Washington
Hatlroad & Navi
gation Co. ayatem direct to Ilond.
The tare Is $7,45. Through tlckats
from all Eastern points aro good

Deschutes Canyon la tho most strik

DOGS OF ALASKA.
A Story That lllustratss Their Won
derful Intelligence.
Dogs on tbo trail often display Intel,
llgcnre that seems almost humnn. On
ono occasion I remember t waa driving
a team of dogs down the Yukon river
and had ono dog in the team called
Tommy, who waa n good dog in his
way, but who showed a strong dlsllko
to being harnessed to such an extent
that In the morning, when nil tbo other,
dogs were bitched to the sleigh. Tommy
would hide himself under a cabin or
bur himself In the snow.
Thbt continued for several mornings.
nrf IxHitlnir him necmed to hare no of-
I feet- One morning, however, too team
had been standing In tbo cold walling
! for Master Tommy. I Anally dlcov
' ered him biding nnder tbo roots of n
tne. and as soon as I came in sight,
dragging tho dog, the entire team, mov
ed by a common Impulse, uounded to
ward mo and at once administered a
terrible thrashing to Tommy.
I finally rescued him from his angry
companions, and after that Tommy
was always the first to put his head
In tbo collar in answer to my whistle.
