aro ninny of thcHo unsung hrave wo

ary for hor hiisliaud to cock employ
ment far away and she must remain
alone,
With those kind of honiesteadors
it is astonishing how much improve
ment can ho accomplished.
Take thu case of II. L Voiiiik' as
nu example Ho has had his home
stead for about two yearn. It is
far up In tho mountains and hard lo
reach. Yut in ashort time he has put
five acres into orchard, and all tho
trccH aro thrifty and well cared for.
IIu has five acres planted in other
crops which will he planted to trees
this winter. Mosaics this ho !:'
four more acres slashed and hunied
and thu stumps will bo removed this
winter.
He has his entire place fenced and
Iiiih a beautiful five-room bungalow
and two barns on itt.
Von may nay: Well, thift is easy
for a man with inonoy." Hut Mr.
Yoimir has douu all of this in two
years by hard labor and by apply
ing hi, earniugh to thu laud. It only
shows what can he done if efforts
are applied and good faith exist-.
There is nothing of limgitt in this,
Anyone can duplicate it.
There aro a few homesteads worth
while left in Oregon. Somo good
laud, heimly timbered, is in the for
est lesorves, but this is not open fir
entry, except under the act of June
1 1,11)0(1 which applies chiotly to land
not nlunblo for agriciiltiiic.
However, tho homesteader has
sonic compensations for the hard lif'
ho leads. Ho does not have to leae
his placo if ho wishes to hunt deer
or boar. A stray cougar is apt t
venture on his domain a,ud afford a
shot. Then there am grouse and
(liiail.
When it comos to fishing if he i.
a disciplo of Isaac Walton ho is in
l'aradise, for ho lives way hoyond
the places of the city fisherman
conies to.
All thu joys of nature aro his, thi
deep solemn woods all about, the
clear pure invigorating air of the
mountains, scouleed with pino and
balsam. To the man who loves na
ure it is ideal lil'o in mailv wavs.
