TAKEN IN VALLEY
According to an announcement today
by a representative of the G. E. Miller
bond house of Portland, residents of
the Eagle Point Irrigation District, arc
the first to buy their own bonds,
150,000 worth having been subscribed
through; the Butte Falls bank yester
day. While others awaited the formal of
fering of these bonds the people of
Eagle Point and Uutte Falls got busy.
They have faith in themselves and
faith In their lands. Yesterday a bank
er came to Med ford and closed the
deal. He bought also for his personal
aicount ., , ' . '.
Rarely, according to local report, 1s
a local issue bo promptly sought by
local people. , Rarely Is such faith in
home enterprises so promptly ex
pressed. If home money more fre
quently stayed at home there would bo
better growth of good homo enter
prises and less losses of investment
funds, j . ,
Irrigation. Is certainly doing much
for southern Oregon. This year will
bring bountiful harvests and irrigation
is saving crops that the dry senson
might have seriously injured. Tho
Rogue River Valley is a land of plenty,
prosperity and faith in the present and
the future.

SAN FRANCISOO, July It's a far

a lonely mountain homestead, but
pretty Eileen Young, just twenty-two
has bridged the gap.
Just recently Miss Young won first
costume prize for Mono county, her
adopted county, at a fashionable civic
hall given here. She wore a "cave
woman's costume" fashioned from
furs of animals she had trapped her
self in the wilds of tlio mountains.
Now sho is back in Mono county
completing the last of twenty-ono
month's residence on G40 acres of
wild land which , stretches from,-the
high Sierras to tho Mojave' desort.

her protector from tho moment of
her arrival throe years ago. He gave
her the name of "Lonoly Deer." Word
went out that anyone who so much
as lifted a finger ugainst tho little-
"palo face" pioneer who had come
to tho Lake Mono district would
answer to "Four Fingered Jack," Cor
"Lonely Deer" Is tho niece of George
Dorn, homesteader and fast friend Of
tho chief.
' 1 Homo tn San Jose.
- "Undo George's" homestead Is 30
miles from the cabin of the intrepid
'VEileen Young, Homesteader," as she.
calls herself on her visits to civiliza
tion and tho homo of her parents in
San Jose. A mountain range rears
itself between the two "sections," and
a swift mountain stream tears its way
down toward the sea otherwise they
ore "close neighbors." '
On her last ' trip to civilzatlon
"Lonely Deer" had some pictures
taken in her ball costume to show
Chief "Four Fingered Jack," her con
quest of f'soelety" for Mono county.
Tho chief hns never Been a city, much
less a fashionable ball and the only
jazz he has ever heard Is that afford1
od by tho mournful chant qf the coy
otes that gather on the shores of
Lako Mono at night to voice their
saxophone moans for the edification
of tho bears, mountain lions timid
mule deer and stately elks that in
habit tho region nnd to throw terror
into the heurts of tho thousands of
sheep that graze on 1,ho hills over
hanging tho lake.
Miss Young' does not know the
meaning of tho word fear.
"Afraid?"' sho was asked.
A laugh was her answer.
"I don't know what it means to be
afraid. Threo years ago my old
bachelor uncle visited us and told my
family of the groat sheep country In
Mono county the- government was
opening up for settlement.
Undo Was Sad.
"Ho was sad because he is too old
to homestead any longer, and said it
was too bad thero was no boy In the
family to go up" there and take up the
land.
"I asked what was the matter with
my going. Father and mother were
hard to persuado, but I had tho nerve
to do anything a boy could do nnd
finally won out. We lived on a ranch
when wo wei-o youngsters "and I
learned how to ride as well and shoot
as straight as a boy;
"My undo helped mo put up my
cabin and -for seven months of each
of tho last three years I have lived
up there with- saddle- horses, pack
mules and dogs for companions. And
I like it. 1 Of course, -I'm glad to get
back to civilization, . but nftor 'five
months in the cities I'm glad when
the time comes to go back to the
mountains."
But tho Mono county "cave girl" is
not looking for a "enve man" with
out sufficient gumption to strike out
and get ft homestead of his own with
whom to share her hard-earned
acres.' And sho Is not looking for any
sort of a man just now.
''When I marry' sho said In
answer to -a question, "it will bo
man who loves tho wilds but who Is
equally nt homo- in civilization. . I
wanta man 'who is broke to city
pavements nn - well as mountain
climbing. He must be nt homo any
where. But I guess I'll never find
that kind chnp." 1 ; ' - . "
