GREAT ISOLATED EMPIRE.
Average Wealth Of Every Harney County
Citizen Is 5000.

Southeastern Oregon Is the best place
on earth for homeseekers to 60, in the
opinion Of George W. Hayes, register Of
the United States land Office at Burns,
Harvey county. I'VE have $500 900
acres Of public lands open for settlement"
he said yesterday, at the Perkins, "and
one fifth Of this area Is good agricultural
soil. The whole vast region Is excellent
pasture land and is now supporting great
numbers Of cattle, horses and sheep.
I'VE have one valley 6s miles long by
90 miles In width which Is so level that
one can drive for fully IS miles along its
length without reaching an elevation OF
7s feet. The soil produces well, without
irrigation, and water can be found at a
depth Of eight feet over nearly the whole
surface OF the valley. II irrigation were
resorted to, an abundance Of water could
be stored in the adjacent mountains with
the aid of we'll located dams.
"Although this valley has an elevation
of 4 aa4 feet above sea level, fruits and
vegetables are raised in the highest per.
fection, while the wheat grown in the val.
ley makes the best quality OF flour. We
had country fair at Burns last fall, ard
! was surprised at the splendid exhibit OF
apples and prunes, as well as OF the COM
mon varieties of vegetables.
"The people Of Harney county are the
weal,hies per capita of any portion OF
Oregon, as We have but 5000 persons
within It's boundaries, while our assessed
valuation Is $1,000, 900. This would al.
low each inhabitan, $1,000 were the prop.
er,y divided up equally.
"The great draw back to the settlement
Of the region Is lack Of railroad facilities,
as the o. R. & N. is the nearest line to
Burns and that Is $50 miles away. There
are three railroads projected, however,
the Dalles Southern, Corvallis and East.
ern and the Sumpter Valley, and when
either Of these reaches us, Portland will
begin to regain much Of the trade she has
lost by the Winnemucca route, which
draws large business southward toward
California. It would be to Portland's In.
terest to have these roads extend into
Harvey county and It would also be bet.
te: for our people because II would give us
cheaper rates to the seabord. Ore.
