The Desert Sheik
Table Rock - Years ago,
back before the turn of the
century, we used lo to with
father when he look wheat to
the Eagle Point mill, now
known as the home of stone
ground flour. With a team of
mules, and some 20 sacks of
wheat, we wound our way
over the desert, from one
boulder-filled pot hole to an
other B.V the lime we got to
the foot of Cincade hill, we
were thirsty and would stop
for a coo) drink at the spring.
The several miles of desert
land we traveled over, except
for a few months spring pas
ture, was considered about
worthless, the asessscd value
being about $5 per acre. It
was on this land that Camp
White was built, with paved
streets and concrete floored
barracks, a modern water sys
tem, sewer and disposal plant.
'
At the close of the war this
land that had served so well
as a training camp, it seemed,
would revert back to its un
wanted state. But some years
later, Charley Hoover, with
his never-ending optimism and
faith, took over several thou
sand acres of it, with the idea
of making it blossom like a
rose. Last Thursday, as the
guest of Charley Hover, we
made the trip through the
guest of Charley Hoover, we
over paved roads, passing
hundreds of dwellings, some
completed, others partly built,
and some just started, dotting
the landscape.
This is mostly In the east
ern end of the desert, in the
Hoover sub-division, which is
sold in two to four acre units
for home sites. This comprises
nearly 1,000 acres which have
practicaiiy all been sold.
Many of the buyers come from
surrounding states, although
there is a sprinkling of Ore
gonians. A very generous
sales plan is in force here, a
mall down payment, small
monthly payments. Also with
the acreage is a drilled well
supplying some 1,800 gallons
an hour, free trees for shade
and beautification, and all
building materials at whole
sale. Most of the settlers here
would be classed as working
people, thrifty and energetic,
who are for the most part try
ing to have a home of their
own.
Many have some form of In
come, others have jobs in the
valley or work in the timber
or saw mills. We talked with
the head sawyer in one of
Steve Wilson's saw mills who,
with the help of his wife, is
building a lovely house of
pumice brick during time off.
All the people we talked with
seemed to be happy and con
tented and with no objections
to the zoning restriction that
requires all buildings lo be
painted. There are no man
sions here nor do you see any
Cadillacs parked in the yard
(no Intent here to campare
junk with Cadillacs) or rub
bish dumped on lots.
They are common indus
tries. Folks who desire a liv
able house and land enough to
grow flowers, a few dwarf
fruit trees and vegetables, a
place for the kids to play and
fish in the several miin-made
lakes where catfish, bass, and
other fish abound. Farther to
the cast, giant earth-moving
machines belonging to Steve
Wilson are at work preparing
a tract of some 1,000 acres for
settlement. One machine with
Tipping tongs tearing into I lie
soil to a depth of 3 to 4 feet,
is followed by a carry-all,
with a capacity of some 35
yards, which picks up the
lose soil and dumps it in the
boulder filled pot holes.
.
We were greatly surprised
to see chocolale-colored virgin
soil, soil that looked as fertile
as any that ever laid out of
doors to the surface with these
machines. Some o( the Hoover
land not yet sub-divided has
been seeded to grasses and
clover. Some six varieties
seeded together have made an
excellent growth and furnish
pasture for slock six months
out of the year without irriga
tion. This story is getting rather
lengthy, but it would require
much more space lo do Justice
to this project. We should
have had 1 rapid shorthand
man, or a tape recorder, along
on our trip, then Charley,
with his rapid-fire descrip
tion, would have told his own
story, which would have been
much better than ours.
As a parting remark, Char
ley said all he has was made
in this valley, and he would
like to leave something to he
remembered by. And to here

Bu"c Falls -- The board of
directors of Butte Falls School
district 91 has designated
Tuesday, May 17, as voting
day for the proposed bond
issue to provide a new cafeteria-band
room and dressing
room enlargement for the
Butte Falls High school. Vot
ing will be from 2 to 8 p.m.
The cafeteria would be
added onto the south east
corner of the high school,
parallel to the shop. It would
include a food storage area
and processing area on the
north end.
Opposite the serving line
would be a band storage
closet-type room. The middle
of the cafeteria would include
fn'jr folding fahtps with a
capacity of 80 students. The
southern third of the cafeteria
would be reserved as the
music center (piano, band
stand). Instead of porches the struc
ture would have a covered
walkway connecting the three
entrances or exits.
Architecturally the sme
lines of the present high
school would be used, blend
ing the cafeteria with the high
school structure. The dressing
room would be expanded by
6 feet on the north side of the
gym. Between the boys' and
girls' showers would be a
space for hot water heaters
and access to the plumbing.
There would be an additional
lavatory and shower heads in
each dressing room.
There would be an altera
tion of liie foyer for entering
the gym on the northwest
corner with added storage fa
cilities. Incorporated with the
structure would be an extend
ed roof line which would cov
er the walkway.
The bonds would be paid
off in 10 years at $6,500 each
year.
The S6.500 a year would
mean three mills for the tax
payer. A piece of property
with an assessed valuation of
$1,000 would be charged $3
per year.
Drawings of the proposed
structures are on display in
the windows of the hardware
store.
