C. Railway to Lakeview
Nugent-Richardson Company
Will Begin
Work in
This Week witnossoa the first deflinite step
toward placing Lakeview on the railroad map
of tho world.
Tho contract for tho grading of the Nevada-California-Oregon
Railway, from Aturas to
Lakeview having been signed between that
company and the Nugent' Richardson Con
struction Company, the latter now engaged In
finishing work on their sub-contract on the ir
rigation ditches of the O, V. L. Company. The
completion of that work, will require about a
month when the railroad work will be taken
up and rushed to completion with all possible
dispatch.
This surely is good news, and verifies what
Manager Dunaway of the N. O. O. has prom
ised as to his intention to broad-gauge that
road and at once extend to Lakeview.
TEN ACRES MAY
BE BIG ENOUGH
It Depends on the Man,
Where it Is and What
Grows on the Land
The Examiner has been anked will
farms of teu acres or o pav I Well,
we are no farmer, but observation
leads us to believe tbat eiveu the
proper conldtious of soil, climate,
products aud suitable markets that
email farms will pay Judging from
w hat ban beeu accomplished herein
the pant iu the way ot fruit products,
a 10 a-'re tiact iu apples, or pears
will tie sulllcient for the ueeds of
any family. But it take' snnie timt
to bring au orchard in hearing.
Home orchards at four years from
planting, this year prodcued a very
good crop of apples, of a due size
aud ronj appearauco. It takes, how-'
ever, from i to 7 yeara to Prinvi an
oiehard in beating. In this day of
"Hurry aud I jet Kieli Quick" that
is n long time to wait. Meanwhile,
during time that your orchard is, be
ing hrnught Into hearing, cno can
euu'iue in othr pursuits.
i'OMltry rainiug ould be a pro! i table
undertaking. There ia no lack of
demand all over th. Went, nod at
itrices that seem prohibitive those
unite. inainted with the conditions.
For instance. in Liikevimv, eugs
noe: command lesstlmu !ll cts. a doz
en noil in tint of the time will readily
fetch ol) to To cents a dozen. Indeed
theie have been uone in this maiket
tor fouie weeks, not w ithntnuding a
strong limau I at almost any price.
While so f ir as concerns ehickeus,
turkeys, ducks and geese, there nev
er Inn tieun any in this market. In
view of tho fact that at Petaluma,
California, ninny families inakj a
good living oil" of tuie-aere. chicken
ranches, we are inclined to think,
thai with the coming of the rail
romls. ami with the whole Northwest
for a market, that u 1" acre tract
would bo siillicieut for that purpose.
Another thlug that pnva wil here,
even uutler present, crude and back
ward met boils, is dairying.
Mutter is never Kss thau ceuts
and from tbat up to 40 or more ceuts
per pound. It is known that tbe
valley produces two crops of superior
ipiuilty of alfalfa without irregation.
With tho advent of water for the
laud by means of the OregonVnlley
I. mid Company's irrigation canals
there is un telling what, the remit
will he applied lo iillftlta. hut un
iiuestioiint ly the crop will be largely
increased
it In stated that in Holland, laud
could lo farmed foi dairy ur
poses, ou a valuation of &I00 to J 1000
per acre. That's almost us high as
the high grade fruit lanos of the
most favored sections ot the Went.
Oun thuunuutl'dnllars au acre for land
raising butter i YesY
With tbe proper rotatiou of crops,
with the Introduction of tbe beet
butter bleeds cf cattle, with proper
cure iu making and marketing the
product, lauds here onuld pay a fine
return ou &M0 to 1400 au aire: tbat
ia puttiug it mildly. Aud there
would be aa Incessant, clamoious
market for every bit of tbe product
for tbe butter from tbe blgb priced
farms, wbere dairying ia reduced to
enough aoleuoe to ' make tbe farms
valuable, Is tbe land tbat people who
Let for grading the

know how to raise dairyiug products
want, and for wbich they are aniious
to pay a big price . Hogs are also
sumetbTog that tbe small farmer can
glow here with great proSt with
daiiylng and alfalfa producitoo. Any
auction that can produce a porker
weighing 617 pounds, mooing at
large, as waa the case recently re
portAd In the Examiner, from War
ner Valley, la surely adapted to that
branch of farming.
Potatoes and sugar beets' filsn are
sure and profitable crops for small
farmers, aud our Fair last fall gave
conclusive evide?3 that superior
quality of either can be grown here.
Potatoes weighing " pounds, from
Summer Lake aud 81.2 pounds from
Warner Vnllay, is surely going some
iu tbe potato line Under such condi
tions we would not dare tell tbe yield
iu bushels per acre, for fear of beiug
cnnsideied a real sucessnr tn Iiaron
Munchanseu; especially as tbe price
for potatoes rauges from $1.00. to $4 50
per hundred, uccrodiurf to supply
iu Lakeview.
It is known tbat in Maine. Min
nesota, Colorado, Oklahoma. KausH,
and other states, wherever potatoes
areastaudnrl crop, farmers become
rich, and the communities are extrome
ly prosperous. Tbe crop iu Aristook
county, Maine this year will bring
in $12,000,000 aud good homes, pianos
aud autoinobiea are much in evidence
in that secitou
Lauds that produce 400 bushels of
potatoes per acre at Oreely Colorado
with water right are selling for 400
ler acre aud are considered fully
worth the money.
Iu view of the foregoing we are in
clined to think that even a Ill-acre
farm can be made to produce a good
living bythose n ho nre willing to
work ami kcow how to get the most
out of anv pursuit iu wbich they
may engage.

HAWLEY THE NEW

CHICAGO. Dee. 4. -Tbe spectacu

vorce of the Frisco from the Kock is

rado Southern to James J. Hill elev
en months ago. Air. Hawley and his
associates, to which be added only
recently B f. Yoakum and B. L.
Wincbell, have secured control of a
number of independent roads which
give him an unt.rnken line reaching
from Chicago, Toledo and Oetroit on

These recent purchases include tbe
Cesapeake Jc Ohio, Toledo, St. Louis &
Western and Chicago & Alton, Mis
souri, Kansas Jc Texas, Iowa Central,
Chicago, Cincinnati & Louiavile and
the Frisco. Of course it does not
necessarily follow that Mr. Hawley
will dominate in Frisco any more
t haa Mr. Yoakum, .but tbe Hnwley
luflueoce no doubt will be a great
factor. To this list, if we are to in
elude tbe sphere of Hawley influence,
should be added tbe allied Kansas

Tbat Mr. Hawley has his mind set
on a coast-to coats system is beyond
tbe shadow ot a doubt. Hia recent
alliance with the Uock Island inter

UNO
GRABBERS
WERE BUSY IN
THE COUNTY
OFHARNEY
Long Ago They Secured
The Cream of the Land
and Now Block
Settlement
C. M. Hyskell, baa been writing a
aeries of letters descriptive of tbla
Great Inland Empire for tbe Port
land Journal, which most reeolt la
mocn good in calling attention to the
merits of tbe land for fature settle
ment. In describing a particularly desirable
portion of tbe rich and fertile Har
ney valley be makes thia startling ad
mission, which probably refers to
the property of tuoee notorious land
grabbers of tbe Pacific Coast, tbe
Dntcb Immigrants, Miller aod Lux.
Mr.- Hyskell says:
But tbe sad fact for you and me
Is tbat tbe cream of this vast domain,
wbere we. might have bad home
steads, lies seggregated In the posses
siun of foreign owners, who for yeara
have resisted all pressure to bring
aoout ita subdivision, and who have
evaded all 'government efforts to con
struct some of the easiest irrigation
projects tdr bringing its lands under
irrigation canals at a trifling oost of
425 or f:K) per acre. There are In
stances of this foreign corporation
having . declined to sell to settlers
some ot its non irrigate! lends In
Harney valley at even tlOU an acre,
and in .Malheur valley, not far from -Vale,
similar prices have been re
fused on tbe pretext tbat "the grant
lands should be neld intact"
This surely is a bad condition of
affairs,, but is one common to every
locality in which that corporation baa
been able to put ita everlasting sinra '
on landed property. Its blic'jtug
band can toe seen all over California
and Nevada, to tbe retardation ot
actual, settlement and improvement,
for tbe resaon that auoh land is de
sired for tbe use of the sheep and
cattle of- thee land barons.
Mr. Hyskell makes no comment as
tn how to dislodge these foreigners
or other land grabbers. Bat tbe rem
edy is plain:
Taxation I
When, tbe authorities perform their
duties and tax such greedy people up
to tbe full value in which they hold
land, and make them pay taxes in
accordance with such valuation,
whether it be timber or agricutural
lands, you will see the comorants let
go, and not before!
That plan redeemed New Zealand,
and Australia from tbe land-gtabbere,
aud even Merry Old England nas Been
tbe need , of such sfeps to rid the
country of a tetrible incuhu9, ana
tbe war now on betweeu tbe lords
and cotmuous is over this very ques
tion. The people there want the
"unearned increment" ou land, and
they are g"iug to get it I
It i pretty clear tbat the tlme'ia
soon coming when tbe peoule of tbe
United States will have to take this
matter of wholesale grabbing in band
and throttle it fur thd good and well
being ot the natiou.
