For Years Orcliardists Have Been Waiting For
The Great Little MoneySaving
BEAN
TRACKPULL
6 -Horse Tractor
And these are 18 reasons why Orchardists who
have seen the new invention, put on the market
after years of experimentation and the most
rigid tests posible, give it their O. K. :
1 . Pulls instead of pushes itself over the ground.
2. Can be "gee-edM and "haw-ed" out of holes and soft places
like a team.
3. Has full power pull on turns as well as on the straight-a way.
4. Turns clear around in a 10-foot circle.
5. Plows or harrows as close up in the corners of fields as a team.
6. Plows as close to vines and trees as a team.
7. Makes little difference how far off center you hitch.
8. Goes under branches of trees that no horse can get under.
9. Works any number of hours overtime on any kind of soil
without getting tired.
10. Eats only when working and is a light eater. Costs nothing
when idle.
1 1 . Runs stationary machinery up to 10 h. p. when not plowing.
12. Weighs less and costs less to run than wheel-type tractors of
same power.
13. Pays for itself in what it saves.
14. Backs as easily as it goes forward.
, 15. Light weight on long track surface.
16. Cultivates 10 to 20 acres in 10 hours.
1 7. Plows from 4 to 7 acres in 1 0 hours.
18. Little power required to pull tractor-power all goes to pull.
Get in touch with us right away. The company is turning out as many of
these great little tractors as present facilities will admit, but there is going to
be a bigger demand every day as more and more farmers and fruit growers
learn about this machine. If you want a BEAN TRACKPULL TRACTOR,
have it reserved right away.

Despite the unpleasantness of trav
ersing stretchs of very bad roads, some
bad spots of dust and a scorching sun
shine, the following party of local men
returned home Sunday afternoon from
a tour of Central Oregon and fishing
along the Deschutes, declaring that
they had had a wonderfully enjoyable
trip : U. Dethman, o. . Khoaues, i.
E. Copple and A. D. Moe. The journey
was mae in Mr. Moe's Reo. The party
left here at hve o clock rnday morn
ing and before the sun had grown hot
were well on the way toward their
eoal.
Saturday night they stopped at Mad
ras, county seat tf the new county of
Jefferson. Here they met Vine W
Pearce, ' editor and publisher of the
Madras Pioneer, who also is active in
various enterprises in the Central Ore
gon town. Among them Mr. Pearce
is purveyor of the county seat's enter
tainment, operating the moving picture
theater. The Hood River men formed a
theatre party at Madras, attending the
show as the guests of the proprietor.
At Madras the local men saw Horace
Greely Kibbee, formerly publisher of
the Mosier bulletin, and well known in
Hood River, where he frequently vis
ited.
The country is showing the effects of
the very dry summer and the wheat
fields look very bad, many fields being
so poor that they are hardly worth
cutting. The irrigated country
around Bend and Redmond looks much
better. While the season is fully three
weeks late, the hay crop, which is the
principal crop on the irrigated lands.
is good as a rule. The city of Bend is
one of the most prosperous looking
cities in the state. New buildings are
going up everywhere, the growth of
the town being largely due to the es
tablishment of two large sawmills n
the past two years. Sales of irrigated
lands have been very active, but since
the war have quieted down somewhat.
Frost a week ago killed or injured
many fields of potatoes and ruined gar
dens, but in some districts little harm
was apparent
The roads are of all kinds and condi
tions, from excellent to very bad.
From here to The Dalles the grades
are heavy and in some places very
rough and rocky, but on the whole
better than last year. From The
Dalles to Dufur the road is badly cut
up in places, but rather fair on the
whole, r rom Dufur south to the lop
of the Tygh grade they are good, a
steady climb most of the way, but
easy grades. The Tygh grade is four
miles long, mostly 7 per cent, but
fairly good surface. A climb out of
Tygh on a 5 to 7 per cent grade takes
one over the ridge to Maupin over a
fair road. Crossing a good bridge and
then another climb of about the same
grade for several miles to the top of
the ridge toward Shaniko. a fairly
good road is encountered until within
several miles of that town, when it
gradually gets worse. There are but
few road signs, and one has to guess
which cross road to take. A few
dollars and a little 'time would save
many a tourist the trouble and extra
mileage caused by getting olf the road.
From Shaniko to Antelope the road
is more or less rocky and rough.
Leaving Antelope for Madras, a dis
tance of 40 miles, the first few miles
are good. The Antelope canyon of
two miles is very rough, rocky and
generally bad. From there to Madras
it is fair except for numerous chuck
holes and places of deep dust and sand,
with stretches of very good dirt road.
From Madras south to Bend about half
the road is good, the rest fair mostly,
but with numerous rough places.
More or les? rocky spots are encoun
tered in the road as well as chuck
holes.
Tk. ,'iinoia nt Miss Anna R. Luce.
an early day elocution teacher of Ore
gon and entertainer oi nauonai nine,
at the Upper Valley home of Miss
Grace Allen, brought about a reunion
between the pioneer teacher and Mas
Aboie J. Mills, one of her students at
Willamette University. Miss Mills,
who is now a local nurse, was called
to attend Miss Luce, who has reached
her 80th year. Until she entered the
sick room she did not know that the
patient was her old teacher, whom she
had not seen for 35 years.
"The joy of the reunion was pleasant
for me and for Miss Luce it semed of
as great benefit as medicine," says
Miss Mills.
Miss Luce, who has made tours or
every part of the United States and
who has entertained audience,s of
thousands, was taken to Portland by
Miss Mills. She has recovered from
her illness, a severe earache, brought
on by the high altitude to which she
was unaccustomed.

AN APPEAL FROM
RESCUE SOCIETY
To the Mothers and Sisters of Oregon :
It will be needless for me to go into
detail and explain to you the problem
of feeding 35 girls and 60 babies. The
task is difficult at any time, but a tre
mendous burden at present I appeal
to you to remember the girls and babes
during this canning season, and put up
a little extra to ship to the Louise
Home and the Albertina Kerr Nursery
Home, where we are caring for aban
doned mothers and babes, and we
assure you that whatever you can do
in their behalf will be greatly appre
ciated. Why not form a club in your
town and ship a barrel of canned fruit
or canned vegetables at Thanksgiving.
Address correspondence to Gen.
Supt W. G. MacLaren, 195 Burnside
St, Portland, Oregon, for shipping
instructions.
