HAPPENINGS ON THE ROA D TO THE BURNS COUNTRY
Burns, Oregon, Wednesday, June 30,
After waiting a day the auto to Burns never got back as
scheduled, So we started on the long drive to Burns with
a pair of cayuses, and H, R, Dunlap pushing the lines,
He is at the head of a large wholesale house anda retai
store at Vale, The latter is called the Vale Trading Co., and
the forwarding and jobbing business is the Merchants
Wholesale Co, There is more forwarding than wholesaling,
although the latter is growing,
Westfall, Beulah, Drewsey, Harney, Burns, Narrows, Dia
mond, Lowen, Skull Springs, Dill, Brogan and in all about
twenty trading places are supplied from Vale, The freight
ers bring In wool with four to ten horse teams and take out
freight, The forwarding business consists in paying the
freight on shipments to Vale, checking tho shipments, col
lecting damages and shortages, The merchants in the in
terior settle every thirty days, but some run accounts long
er, Tho Merchants Wholesale Co, forwards wool, hides, pelts
and alfalfa seed, The past two years wool sold at. Vale at
10 to 14 cents, It had to be stored in tho warehouse for
sales days, The buyers were very particular in the adver
tised sales days and the sacks had to be opened and all
the wool sampled, This year wool sold delivered at Vale
for 20 to 22 cents, None went begging, A great deal was
sold before It was sheared, Tho buyors wont out onto the
ranges and bought it up, Not much laid in the warehouses
and there was nothing to sell on sales davs,
The stage road to Burns follows up Bully creek, Three
streams center at Vale, the Malheur, the Willow and Bully,.
Out about twolvo miles we cross an iron dyke, The oil lands
lie on both sldos of this, The dyke runs from southeast to
northwest, The first canyon Is about a mile further, or
perhaps two miles, Birds and school houses seem to be equal
ly scarce in this part of the state,
Fourteon miles out wo passed the old Frank O'Niel place,
now run by Jackson, with plenty of hollyhocks, shade trees,
a fine verandah and a fow chickons, This is a famous eat
ing and rosting place for stages, We got a drink (of wator)
and passed on,
Speaking of drinking, this ib a dry county, and while hard
drinking has been reduced, and those who soil it are prob
ably rondored more caroful, ho sales of "near beer" aro vorv
largo, It Is shipped in bottlad form , packed in barrols, It
is shipped as "beer" but tho bottles are not labeled at all.
Thero is little or no drunkenness. Tho empty bottles are
shipped out, In placo of being "near beer" it Is just com
mon boor, and jiot being laboied is of poor quality, havlnc
no reputation or brand to maintain, It costs more than good
-boor from kega, pays tho manufacturer more, and tho re
tailor gots moro profit than if ho sold laboied goods or by
tho class. At some places tho bottlod "near boor" is sold
by tho glass, two glassos for 25 conts, and small ones at
that, The big schooner for 5 conts is a thing of the past
In tho dry county,
Experience With Autos.
Tired of waiting for the shgo line auto, and Ford's auto,
wo docldod to lilt llio road with private convoyanco, Out about
twenty milos wo found tho stage line machlno lying in a can
yon with a brokon axle, Tho Ford machine that has gone
through to Burns in ten houis punctured sovon tiros gohv
sixty milos and was still on ihc road Wednesday afternoon,
The Boiso party composed of Messrs, Atkinson, Shollenbnr
gor, Davis, Gibson and a chauffeur, got out of Vale at 4
n. in. and had breakfast at Westfall. Their machine was a
dandy Franklin, with about 28-inch wheels, four-cylir.'K
and a rogular whizz of' v. drivor, When wo were zig-zag-glng
up Cottonwood canyon we wonderod how an auto over
got up even as far. as Westfall, and began to wondor wheth
er our boautiful Franlkin was still in commission and if it
would ovor live to got back to Boiso, Up tho canyon we
soon came to somo springs of ico cold water, Hero the
syringa was bloomnig in abundance, as perfectly as in the
Willamette valley.
Tho mall line auto was a strong built machino made by
the International Harvoster Co. It has the power to climb
stoop, rocky mountain roads, but was weak in tho axlo,
At 6:30 we were over tho first divide wo cross throe
between Vale and, Burns and trotting down the great slope
into Westfall. The stage lino auto with its broken axle was
lying in tho mlddlo of tho road and our bronchos trotted by
No, '1905 right merrily, Tho groat basin lay spread out be
low, Tho Westfall vnlloy is as green and smooth as tho top
of a now billiard table. Tho grain, alfalfa and poplars had
tho rich dark green peculiar to perfect Irrigation. It Is tho
homo of prosperous ranchers, and two stores in her sell
$100.000 a year of merchandise.
We left Westfall at 9:15 Wednesday night. We were at
the top of Ben Deer mountain by midnight and flew down
a grade that was several hundred feet straight up and
clown, Two a, m, we stopped for lunch and fed and watered
our teams, We were headed tor Beulah valley, a 45-mile
night drive, but not destined to get there, At 3 a. m. we
met Ford with his auto coming out of Burns, put one team
in the stage barn, sent the other on ahead and got into the
40-horsepower car. What a pleasure it was to set back in
the rich cushions of the upholstered tonneau and be swayed
from side to side as the great machine ate up the distances.
In six minutes we went three miles and would be in Burns,
seventy-five miles away, in five or six hours. The great car
fairly plowed through the air. We were supremely happy
for a space of six minutes, when the car gave a few un
earthly pops, began to catch its breath in fits and starts, its
pulse was beating very unevenly, and it stopped short and
refused to- go ahead, The patient Ford,- who had driven all
night to meet us, tightened a few bolts .touched a few but
tons, shook his head, and this he said, "The thing is dead,"
The storage batteries had given out and no extras in the
hold. There we sat on the highway at daybreak, one team
on ahead the other left behincT at the stage station and
Burns seventy-five miles away, We did not swear, We sat
by the roadside and waited for sunrise, Some freighters
were getting their horses together to feed for the long pull
over Ben Deer, Six horses take two wagons coupled, the
first wagon with 4800 pounds wool, the second 3600 pounds,
or four tons and 400 pounds, The wool comes from as far
as Lake county and the freighters get $1,50 per hundred
from Burns, They sleep by the roadside, cook their own
meals, and there was where we forgot our troubles at a 5
o'clock breakfast of clear salt pork fried, black coffee cook
ed in a tin bucket, and warm bread baked in a Dutch oven,
No two-dollar dining car meal tasted as good as that simple
meal seasoned with alkali dust and eaten with your fingers.
Troubles were ended. I hiked back four miles, got our
team hitched up and was back on the dusty trail for Burns
at 8 o'clock. The man in charge of the stage station was
Mr, Tuener, a son of Judge Tuenerof Pendleton, one of the
ablest criminal lawyers of eastern Oregon in his day, Wo
reached Beulah at 10 a, in, and found a family of bright
Chicago people running the postoffice, store and roadhouse.
The proprietor's name is Allen Gilke, Their house is on the
bank of the Malheur, Tho road crosses the river and climbs
to the clouds by easy grades laid by a skilled engineer at
not to exceed eight per cent, while the old trail was a regu
lar toboggan slide, Over the rimrock we go and out open
wider and wider the great central Oregon valleys,
Away to the west a great dark green tongue of forest ta
bleland extends far to the south, The hillsides are greener
and the ridges are dotted with firs and juniper cedar,
