I am well awaro that there aro many skeptics in this world, many peoplo who think the real estate man says anything to make a sale, so I asked Mr. William S. Worden, who is a railroad man (being right-of-way agent for the Southern Pacific), to give me his knowledge of tho threo towns, one ofwhlc h Is nnmed for him. Hero aro his own written words. Respectfully, P. C. LAVEY, President. Mount Hebron, California Mount Hebron lies at tho south ,ond of tho great Butte Valley, east of tho Cascade range. In Northern California, about 60 miles from Klamath Tails, Or. It will be a distributing point for a largo stretch of country, and at such time as the Southern Pacific line is con structed through to Portland will bo tho main freight division nnd subdivision point for this wholo territory. ' Tho town of Mount Ilobron is tho town of tho future, and It will bo only two years before great developments occur there, for tho reason that this big freight division point that I have mentioned will not obtain until tho lino Is connected with the present main track at Eugene, Or., which will bo a matter of about two years at most. Then all tho through traffic be tween San Francisco and Portland will go through this town. ' Later other lines will extend to Reno, nnd from a point north of Klamath Falls east to tho Short Line, nnd will add their traffic to tho road already built. Anyone purchasing lots in this town who will bo content to wait until things can work out, will make big money and bo eminently satisfied. The five-acro tracts Immediately adjacent are very fertile and productive land. The writ er bough this ranch himself, beforo the advent of the railroad, and converted it into a town site, and knows that it Is almost absolutely level, Is woll watered, is a sandy, loamy soil, with no rock on It. The soil is from 10 to 15 feet deep, and underlying It Is plenty of water of exceptional quality at a depth of from 10 to 15 and 20 feet. One well dug on Main street, 15 feet deep, has eight feot of water in it, and it is impossible to lower it by pumping or dipping. Mount Hobron lies at tho south end of tho big Butto Valley, as previously mentioned, which valley contains nn area Of-about 100,000 acres. By writing to tho Government you can got a copy of the Government report as to the soil of tho Butto Valley, nnd you will note that the best land Is at tho south ond of tho valley. Contiguous thereto nnd within a half mlo of the town ig a large body of timber covering millions and millions of feet. Thoro Is ono sawmin near Mount Hebron now, and another' going In shortly. Wo also have negotiations under way for the construction of a box fac tory at Mount Hebron, employing 50 to GO men. , When the railroad makes Its development hero, there will bo a large number of men em ployed In switching, making up trains, working1 in tho roundhouse, etc., and all 'that work necessary to a subdivision and freight division point. Let mo say that closo to Mount Hebron Is tho finest duck shooting and fishing in the world. That is saying a groat deal, but It exists. Deer also abound In the hills, and Butte Creek, coming down out of tho moutalns, sinks within a short distance of Mount Hebron, af fording a large supply of water underneath the ground. The writer has been (out with other officials of tho Southern Pacific Company and caught as many as SO trout in ono n'fternoon. Dorris, California Is located at tho north ond of (he famous Butte Valley, about 20 miles distant from Mount Hebron, between Hobron, Cnl., and AVorden, Or., and Is already a town of considerable size. Tho samo type of railway -station, costing $5,000 is built there ns at Mount Hebron. Tho Southern Pacific Company is at tho presont engaged in drilling a well, with the hope nnd good prospect of finding good nrteslnn water. There is not n lot In Dorrls worth less than $100. Dorris Is surrounded by a lino agricultural country, nnd will be a rattling good town. Worden, Oregon Lpcatod 1G miles from Klamath Falls, Oregon. Tho site of Wordon was selected by mo, becnuso of Its wonderfully productive surround ing country. Tho Govornmont Iteclninatlon nnd Experimental Station Is locnted there, nnd will remain thoro for 25 years. Over 50,000 acres of rich truck lands surround tho town, and adjacent theroto aro thousands of noros of fino yellow pine, which must bo shipped from Worden. Horo will bo Jocntod sawmills, nnd thoro is nn oxcollent location for a -box factory and othor manufacturing ndustrles.

Doing on the main line botweon Portland and San Francisco, and with excellent markets for all products within onsy roach, tho future of Wordon is assured.
