will ho tho (Huston town, when tho
Poctflc & Kftstcrn roiul is extended to
n connection with the Oregon Trunk
line, now terminating nt Hcnd, Ore.
By n little more than n '2 per cent
grade tho Cnsoadc mountnins will he

the wonderful developnient in tanner
industries nnd fruit growing in the
district, thero enn he no question that
the tonnngo tributary to Eagle Point
will ono day bo equal to that of any
town on the Hill system in Oregon.
Tona Well Located.
Eagle l'oint is particularly well sit
uated for residence purposes on the
banks of the beautiful Little Butte
creek, ono of tho finest streams in the
West, nnd in nn ideal location for
traffic, Hirao of tho best fruit lands
in tlio Roguo River valley being with
in a few miles. The fruit world well
remembers tho winning of the sweep
stake prire by Messrs. Tronson and
Guthrie at the Spoknnc apple show of
1009. Well informed fruit men know
thnt tho same orchard which pro
duced this car had produced equally
good fruit each year for five years
previously, hud the owners seen fit to
place it in competition. Thnt fine
orchard is located within two miles
of the depot nt Eagle Point, nnd nt any
time in tho future cither this or the
noted Dr. Coghlan orchard alongside,
can be counted on to win n sweep
stakes prize in red apples, while the
equally famous Dradshnw orchard,
about ns far away to the south, can
be counted on for a winning car of
Newtowns, for wluch it has for so
many years been famous. Equally
good young orchards of both apples
nnd penrs nre to be found on every
side of Eagle Point, approaching ma
turity. This will be ono of the crcat
est fruit shipping stations in Oregon
within five years.
Many Small Finite.
Hot nlono in apples" and pears, but
also in peaches, apricots and cher
ries, is the section to the front. There
is a. quality about the peaches pro
duced hero which induces mnny to be
set in apple and pear orchards a
fillers, . t
There is something in the alluvial
soil deposited along Little Butte
creek especially adnptcd to the grow
ing of garden truck in a commercial
way. The onions produced here nre
in n class by themselves in southern
Oregon. The larger towns to the west
look to the Eagle Point district for
their supplies of berries nnd green
stuff during the season from start to
finish. The district is particularly
well adnptcd to poultry farming as
well, and for many years the mining
camps and timber districts of north
ern California have looked to Eagle
Point for their supplies of fresh
ranch eggs. Back on the government
reserves at the head of Rogue river
nnd the two Butto creeks, thousands
of cattle range and ure brought down
to the Eagle oPint district to get the
Unisning touches of grain and alfalfa
hay to fit them for market.
Manufacturing Sites.
Eagle Point is destined to play no
small part in tho manufacturing fu
ture of tho Rogue River valley, owing
to the water power available and to
bo transmitted or used direct from
the channels of Rogue river and the
tributuries above Eagle Point. The
marvelous timber belt at the head of
these streams, ns yet untouched by
the logger, is one of the main factors
in tonnngo producing, and is one of
tho many rensons why the Hill system
has invaded the valley. Box factories,
paper nnd pulp mills and wooden
ware shops uro among the early re
suits to bo expected, nnd after tho
timber is logged off, thousnnds of
acres of the best fruit lands on earth
will bo available to porpetuute the
transcontinental tonnage which will
distinguish this section.
Not tho least of tho attractions of
Eaglo Point is the convenience of this
locntion for outfitting for the sum
mer trip to tho mountnins, and the
close proximity to the host hunting
nnd fishing in tho state of Oregon.
The traveler to Crater lako in his ma
chine will find horo the best accom
modations in tho valley, and already
many mnko it a point to stop at the
excellent hotels in Eagle Point, and
mnko the rush to tho lake in the ex
hilaratiug morning air. Those com
ing from tho lako will find it well to
thr.p their trips to make Eaglo Point
their slopping place for tho night, as
Jobs than one hour's time will plnco
tho traveler in the heart of tho vnlloy
uner nn enrjy breakfast ut tho Eagle
Point hotels,

Tho prosperity of this section is
shown conclusively in tho growth of
tho Eaglo Ppint bunk, in business but
little moro than 0110 year. Watch its
next statement. Its resources havo
