ten a public document of any kind.
Nor has he had any legislative ex-

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-15

Stockmen. There are now four large
companies buying wheat at this point,
each owning large warehouses, and at
least two other companies will be rep
resented here for the fall season of
the current year.
We have a good hotel, two banks very
strong financially, three general mer-
chandise stores, barber shop, drug
store, harness store, meat market, furni-
ture store, a doctor, lawyer, a real
estate office, saloon, blacksmith shop,
livery barn and photographer. We have
good school and churches.
One important thing lacking is a good
flour mill. There is no doubt but that
we will market close to one and one-half
million bushels of wheat within the next
three years, thus affording an abundance
of grain. The people owning the town
site will donate a location anywhere
along the stream flowing through the
town and also free right of way to
the railway track. We have a large
local trade for flour and feed and with
Seattle with an export market so nearl
by there is certainly a golden oppor-'
tunity awaiting the arrival of a mill
man. The entire village and farming
community will give loyal support to
the industry.
Adjoining the townsite is George Ur-
quhart's irrigated ranch, consisting of
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-15

marketed at this station in round num-
bers amounted to 100000 bushels While
it is probable that he will not double
the amount marketed last year, there is
no doubt but he will add one-half more
to it in the near future, as there is
more good agricultural land tributary
to Krupp than to any other point along
the Great Northern railroad. With the
exchange Of the products Of the adjoin-
ing country, and the addition of wool
and livestock, the future Of our farm
ing industry is very fattering.
Krupp is situated in the extreme east
ern part Of Douglas county, on the
Great Northern railroad. 1t is built on
a formation Of volcanic ash soil and
stone underlaid by strata Of gravel,
thereby giving it a natural drainage and
affording an abundance Of pure cold
water; with a fine stream of clear
spring water flowing through the town
site, thus giving the people of the town
and surrounding country plenty of
water for their stock and lawns without
the expense of pumping from deep wells,
and also enabling them to put up the
very best of ice at a minimum cost.
The greatest industry contributing to
the welfare of the citizens of Krupp is
wheat raising. although stock and wool
men are well represented, Peterson Bros.
and Urquhart Bros. being the principal
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-15

Irrigation has it's drawbacks and set
backs like everything else. Sometimes
the land is alkaline; sometimes it suffers
from seepage and becomes water-logged
on account of having an impervious sub
soil which will not permit the water to
drain away certain low-lying lands suf-
fer from late frosts and are therefore
suited only for raising alfalfa, potatoes
and vegetables, which, while very profit
able in themselves, bring a good re-
turn If they make a profit of $40 to $50
or $50 per acre. The ideal land for sue
cess in fruit raising by irrigation is a
mellow, friable, sage-brush loan, pos
sessing sufficient slope to carry the irri-
cation water over it and from 1t. Even
the poorer classes of irrigated land are
profitable but not nearly to the extent
of the better classes which are suitable
for fruit tree growth.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-15

@HE history of Krupp and the vici-
nifty tributary thereto, from an
agricultural standpoint, is of COM
paratively recent origin, while as a
stock raising section it dates
back to 1879, when Henry Mar
lin drove a bunch of cattle from The
Dalles, Oregon, and squatted on a por-
tion Of the meadow land adjoining the
present townsite of Krupp. Later, in
1876, Mr.. Marlin sold his right to the
land and his herd Of cattle to George
Urquhart, under whose management and
the later ownership Of Urquhart Broth
ers the herd was increased to about
1000 in 1888, with the present location
as headquarters; from which time on,
owing to overstocking and too many
cayuses, the cattle business ceased to
be very profitable, although cattle have
been run in a desultory way up until
the arrival of the man with the plow,
for whom it remained to show what the
country would produce. Whatever his
misgivings may have been to begin
with he has demonstrated that with
proper and suitable cultivation the vol
canic ash soil Of proper depth will pro-
duce from 20 to 80 bushels of wheat per
acre, with 40 bushels in favorable sea-
sons. With a very modest beginning
of $4,000 bushels in 1901, he has in
creased his output until his sixth crop
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-05-15

a young orchard of twelve to fifteen
hundred acres Of irrigable land in the
valley adjacent to Krupp, sufficient to
support many families and at the same
time furnish the village and vicinity all
the fruit and vegetables they can use at
a very reasonable cost.
Any person anticipating settling in
the west will make a mistake if he fails
to investigate the opportunities Krupp
and vicinity has to offer.
