Tho hnudsomo dopot, oroctod with natlvo stono, and tho best oqulpped warehouse In tho stato, Indicate In what Importance tho railroad corn pantos hold llond, An oxtonslvo distributing business already Is bolus conduoted . from llond, to i tho country south and. southoast, and with the regular oper ation of automobllo truck lines, tho plumo of this business Is vastly In crossing. JJractlcaliy alUof weattrn Harney county, and northern Lake and - - -" Grain, X .t4 Klamath, will get supplies In by way of Ilend. and In return will export via Ilend enormous clips of wool. In connection with this latter pro duct nnd Ita shipment hero, tho rail roads havo announcod that ovory Juno thore Is to bo a regular wool sale at Ilend. This means that wool from nil ovor Interior Orogon will bo collect"! hero, that buyors will come horn, that thousands of sheep will I io sheared horo, nud that, In tho very near future, woolen mills will bo established. In all surveys that havo boon mano ior a branch Hill road to tho southoast, to command connection with affiliated roads and an outlet In that direction, Ilend has been made tho terminus Hlnt. Irrigation, A Carey Act Irrigation segregation embracing approximately 300,000 acres, Ilea to tha east and north of Ilend. This land Is watered undor tho supervision of the Stato of Ore gon, and becomes the property of settlers who scqulro It by residence and Improvement, paying from 115 to ftO an acre for wnter service, with an annual maintenance charge of 20 to 80 cents an aero, the lowest maintenance rate In operation. Non-lrrlgablo acroago Is purchased at 1550 an acre. Directly adjoining Ilend are two other Irrigation enterprises, both conducted on a farmers' co-operative basis, and both exceedingly prosper ous. On the Irrigated lands all the pro ducts of tho tomperato xono prospor. The soil nnd cllmato, however, nre particularly adapted to tho success ful production of grassos and root crops. Alfalfa, clover, grain, pota toes nnd othor root crops, including sugar beets, do remarkably well. Tho yield of butter fat from the grasses Is exceptionally groat, nnd this, combined with the pure soft wntor, nnd tho lack of oxccsalvo hoat nnd cold, dostlnos this territory to take tho front rank aa n dairy country. Tha establishment or a largo creamery at llond. and the aid given farmers In securing flno cows by tho local banks, moans that a man with forty acres who will raise grass and Mod It to his cows will be as. sured of a comfortable living. Work la now In progress upon a great now irrigation canal, knqwn as tho North Canal, which will irrigate como 60,000 acres of land, Tho banal gets Its water from the Des chutes. Dry Farming. Tributary to llond on the south oast is a huge dry farming area, tm bracing more than" JI50,'000 acres of lovol nnd rolling sago brush land, with deep soil, no trees and rocks, and with well water obtalunblo at modoruto depths. Much of this territory lias boon settled by homestoadors during thu last your, and many families nro dully tuklng advnutugo of this last big clinco to gut frco Uovornrnoiit luiid. Tho majority of tho acroago Is opon to homcslcndlng undor tho 320 aero law, which allows tho frco ucqulsltlon of that amount In return for residence and proportional annual cultivation and Improvement. Tho homestead laws aro being mado onslor nnd more attractive, with tho result Hint mora aud more settlers como to llond nnd mnko homes on this land tributary to tho town. Oood roads oxtend through this country, and dally auto and stago lines tap It from Ilend, to which Its products will come on down grade hauls to bo milled with the Inex haustible wntor power of tho Des chutes Itlver Immediately below llond, whoro a dam Is being con structed at a cost of about $00,000. Tho work In connection with this sit minor's development of tho now cnnal will require an expenditure of $176,000. All of this monoy. will bo spent closo to Ilend. Tho entire system will require approximately $700,000 to complete. Timber. Tributary to Hcnd, on down grodo hauls, Is 20,000,000,000 feet of tho finest yollow pi no timber. Ilcsldos providing tho cheap power for tho milling of this enormous timber belt, llond offers tho best or mill tiond facilities. The manufacture of this timber at llond Is n cortnlnty, for tho Inrgcst of tho companies Interested are heavy proporty ownors In Jlcnd lands nnd wotorpower developments, and havo signified their Intention of lo cating their big mills here. At present thoro are several smnllor mills, employing In tho noignitorliood or 160 men. Whllo theso manufacture lumber primarily for local consumption, not onlr are many carloads exported to the towns north of llond, but also many nro shipped to tha middle western mar kets, which later will be sunnllod heavily with tho llond lumber pro ducts. Wnter Power Thoro Is at least 260,000 horso- IKiwcr easily oblalnablo from the Deschutes at and near llond. Already a 1700 horsepower plant Is In operation In tho town, which offers aa cheap electric power for domestic ana manufacturing uses as Is obtainable In tho Northwest. Tho Inoxhaustlblo and choap power at her doors guarantees fiend's exten sive manufacturing future. Itccrcntlon. Tho man who comes to Bond or the adjacent sections of Contral Ore gon will bo agreeably surprised at tho pleasant surroundings ho will encouutor, both In what nature has supplied and In social matters. For Instance a University Club recently was organlxod In Ilend with 30 charter members. That indicates tho character of tho men who are building up Central Orogon. Tho sportsmnn will find the llond country n vorjtnhlc paradise. Fish ing In the Deschutes Is a famous attraction, that river's giant trout bringing sport lovors rrom all parts or dm Northwest. Deer, boar, rab 'ills sngo l.ons, ducks, geese, swnns and other gntno afford ample recre ation for tho out-door lover along tho river and- In tho foothills. Canoeing and boating directly at llond nnd up tho broad reaches of the Deschutes, coupled with cxcollout auto roads, horso back riding possi bilities without end, nnd near by snow clad mountain peaks, combine near Ilend Interest for ovory sort of nature lover and health veeker.

Lenders of tbe new (third torn)) party argue that IndiiKtrlal tnunoiwlle should bo localized lent wp low the edlclcticy or largo scale production and distribu tion. No argument could te mure mis leading. it may lc snrely asserted thnt In America there is no line of business In which nil or most concerns or plants must bo concentrated In order to at tain the size of greatest efficiency, for, while n business mny bo too small to be efficient, efficiency doe not grow In definitely with Increasing size. What the most efficient size Is can bo learned definitely only by expertence. Thu unit or grcntest efficiency Is reached when the dlxudrnntn?es or size coun terbalance tbo advantages. Tbe unit or greatest efficiency Is exceeded when the dlssdvsntages or site outweigh tbo sdvantages. The history or American trusts makes this clear. That history shows: First No conspicuous American trust owes Its existence to the dcslro ror tn creased efficiency. "Expected econo mics from combination' figure largely In promoters' proaitectnse, bat they have never been n compelling motive In the formation or any trust On the contrary, tbe purposo or combining bas oHen been to curb efficiency or even to preserve Inefficiency, thus frustrating tbe natural law of survival of tho tit test Second. No consplctjonsly profitable trust owes Its proOU largely to BUp rior efficiency. Some trust have been very efficient, ns hare some Independ ent coriceros. but conspicuous profits hare been secured mainly through con trol of the market through the no" of monopoly to fix prices, through this exerclte of the taxing power. Third. No conspicuous trust has been efficient enough to maintain long as against tbe Independents Its proportion of the bualnexs or tbe country without continuing to buy up rrom time to time lu successful competitors. Having to his credit a record or 16 years of active endeavor in the pro gressive cause, friends or popular gov ernment In this state should have no hesitancy In supporting Den Selling ror United States Senator.
