ABOUT THE WEST.

A good many questions have
been asked me since I returned
from the state of Oregon, con-
corning the country in general,
and [ will answer it as good as
can. With 40 to 100 acres of a
ranch with soto 70 acres under
cultivation, with a few head of
stock, an industrious family can
make a living easier in Southern
Oregon than in any other section
of the country. Few are very
wealthy, butall live withease and
comfort and are happy. The
three important valleys of
western and Southern Oregon
are named after the rivers, viz:
willamette, UmpQua and Rogue.
The Rogue River Valley is a
mountainous country with in.
Vulnerable creeks and valleys.
The valleys vary in length and
some are so narrow that the
ranches have but three or four
fields of from 10 to 90 acres
which, are quite hard tocultivate.
The remainder of the 100 acres
extends up the mountains. This
makes it very convenient, for
miles back of the ranches fur
nish profitable range for stock
for nine or ten months of the
year. Cattle return to the
ranch during the winter month
in good marketable condition.
Hay is fed to cattle but one or
two months of the year and often
it is not used at all as stock feed
out on the ranges all winter.
Many of the cultivated fields are
on mountain sides and vary in
richness as well as depth of soil
The valleys are from 500 to 1900
feet elevation and the surround
ing beautiful tim ber-covered
mountains are from 500 to 3d.
900 feet above the ranches.
Hay, such as cheat, timothy,
clover, wheat, oats and alfalfa
is easily raised and is the princi-
pal crop, but vegetables and
berries are raised in abundance.
Corn is not profitable. From
three to four crops of alfalfa are
gathered each year and will pro-
duce good hay for fifteen years
if irrigated, without re-seeding.
When a farmer wishes to seed a
field to timothy and clover, and it
is not convenient to plow, the old
grass is burned off and the seed
is narrowed in and the result is
usually successful. Hops are
raised successfully and this year
are very profitable.
Some mountains and ranches
are covered with a red clay soil,
others are covered with fine
grarite, and still others are

sBill" Bradley's Humor.

Many stories are being told now
days regarding the humor of the
late William Ell. Bradley, the big
lumberman who died at Milwaukee
last week, and perhaps the best one
is that where he turned in fire
alarm at Tomahawk at four o'clock
in the morning, when United States
Marshal Tom. Reed told him to
bring in all his friends to have a
drink. The whole population
Tomahawk rushed to Mr.. Bradley's
hotel when the alarm was given,
and when they were assembled Mr..
Bradley turned to Mr.. Reed and
said: "You wanted me to bring in
all my friends-here they are" Mr..
Reed settled for the damages at the
bar.
During the Buffalo exposition the
writer headed for the exposition, and
on the sleeper at Ashland fell in
with Mr.. Bradley, who was going to
Tomahawk, and would be on that
train until he reached Rhinelander.
He had just received kilograms tell
ing of the burning of two of his big
mills-one at Sault Ste. Marie and
the other at Tomahawk, both the
night before, and was going to
Tomahawk to look after matters.
The conductor came along and COL
lected fare, and in addition to his
ticket Mr.. Bradley handed the Con-
ductor silver dollar for chair car.
In answering numerous questions of
another passenger the Conductor
forgot to hand Mr.. Bradley his
change, and started on Hold on
there, said Mr.. Bradley, ''isn' It the
chair car fare seventy-five cents to
Rhinelander" ooh, yes, said the
Conductor apologetlcially, "Ordi-
narily I wouldn't have mentioned
the oversi eht," returned Mr.. Brad
ley, '.'but when fellow has two saw
mills burn down in one night he is apt
to feel pretty poor the next day."
And then the big lumbermap joined
in the laugh at the expense of the
Con ductor.
Mr.. Bradley wanted visitors to see
Tomahawk at it's best. He had a
boat train that always took visiting
parties up the Wisconsin river, and
it never cost the visitors a cent.
He run a sleeping car between
Tomahawk Junction and Tomahawk
"a distance of six miles, and only
charged the sleeper fifty cents for
the nights lodgings. His hotel was
the best 10 the Wis consin Valley,
and travelling men always headed for
it to spend Sunday. Once a guest
asked Mr.. Bradley whe Their a hotel
like the Mitchell paid in a small place
like Tomahawk. Mr.. Bradley turn
ed upon him indi gnantly: Have
you got a bill against this placer"
why no, replied the gentleman, 81
didn't mean that well when
you happen to have just pre- sent it
and see if the hotel pays" returned
Mr.. Bradley as he turned away.
