WHAT FRUIT FOR EASTERN OREGON

Care should be exercised in
the selection of varieties Of fruit
for planting in Eastern Oregon,
says Prof. c. |. Lewis of the
Oregon Agricultural College hor-
ticulture department, since the
higher elevations of that part OF
the state suffer more or less from
the severity of the winter and
the drouth in summer.
AS to apples, the Russian
varieties will be the hardest.
These in low attitudes are sum-
mer and fall varieties, but often
in high attitudes they are long
keepers. The Red Astrachan,
Grayenstein, Duchess, Wolf River,
Wagner, and Macintosh Red
are the best and most satisfactory
to plant. Occasionally nearly
any of the standard varieties
grow sufficiently well for family
use. Varieties Of some promise
is such sections are the Rome
Beauty, White Winter Pearmaine.
and Gano.
The three varieties of pears |
would suggest for the region are
the White Doyanne. Seckle,
Clapp's Favorite. Peaches. rs n
rule, should not be grown in the
higher elevations of Eastern
Oregon, but occasionally such
varieties MS Alexander and Ans
den do very well. The Gobb's
Apricot is often successful. "
The four kinds of cherries sug-
gested by Prof. Lewis are the
Lambert and Bing sweet cherries,
and Early Richmond and Olivette
for sour ones. Two varieties of
raspberries - Guthbert and Tur-
ner's Red are named as good,
and any of the standard varieties
of blackberries, such rs Kittatin-
ny, Lawton, and Eldorado, may
be grown. Red Jacket and
Champion gooseberries, and Bed
erwood. Warfeld and Clark's
Seeding Strawberries are also
mentioned.

n sound talk along lines Of de-
velopment and the Importance Of

eagerly grasped every detail Of
information given and quietly
questioned many individual with
whom he conversed. Mr.. Harris

road world and his visit will result

hARNey COUNTY 70 YEARS FROM NOW

The following essay was read
by Ralph Irving at the graduat-
ing exercises of the high school
last evening. 'Harney County
Twenty Years From Now" is so
vividly described that we feel it
should be given wider publicity,
Ralph drew upon his imagination
but has not been eXtravagant
and his predictions are possible:
In 1881, having business rela-
tions in Harvey County, ! decid-
ed to attend the matter, and
once more visit my old home. |
received a general view of Har-
ney Valley from a hill, a short
distance to the rear of Harvey
City, my childhood home, in my
school days comprised only a
couple of stores, school house,
dance hall, blacksmith shop,
saloon and few dwelling houses,
suitable only as a supply station
for the scattered farmers and
stockmen settled along and near
the water courses Of the creeks.
How different now from the for
mer homel There was a very
pretty little town, stretching
from the mouth of Rattlesnake
canon a mile on the gentle slopes
to the west. Shade trees of all
kinds almost obscured every
dwelling, giving the whole place
an evergreen appearance. But
the change did not all lie in the
town. AS | let my eyes wander,
above and beyond, it was no
wonder that | should start. AS
far as the eye could reach was
one vast green spot, broken by
the dim outline of the snow capp-
ed Steens Mountain, and a faint
speck of the distant Harvey Lake.
The green was streaked here
and there by bitches and fences,
clearly visible nearby, but re-
sembling a thread more as the

distance increased. Poplar trees
lined the lanes and 'irrigating
bitches and farm buildings were
to be perceived only by a shade
of green darker than the sur
rounding, | marveled at the
amount of water that greeted
my eyes.
Shifting my eye, farther to the
west along the foot hills, they
fell upon Burns. How large il
seemed. | resolved to see more
of this beautiful county and first
of all | visited Burns, the county
seat and largest city in the coun-
ty with a population of ten thou
sand. From my point of vision,
three beautiful driveways, lined
with poplar trees could be seen
approaching the city from the
north, east and south. But where
was the Silvies river, IN former
times marked by its bordering
fringe of willows, winding its
way at the foot of the old town
of Burns. 1t was gone. Its
waters had been checked in the
spring freshets and its tons of
waste water hcd been stored for
future use during the dry season.
In its stead ran a railroad track,
following dizzily its old course on
its way to Canyon City. Coming
back to the city. first saw its
natural beauty. 1t lay mostly on
low plateau, sloping gradually
from the edge of the valley, and
extending over two miles to the
west and south. Dense foliage
hid all but the business section.
The principal streets were paved
and first class street car line was
conducted. Burns could also
boast of a fine high school build
ing and court house, both of
which were establishments Of
stone and each covered nearly a
block of ground. The improve
ment of this seminary Of learn
ing over the high school of twen-
ty years past enrolling its sixty
scholars was marvellous. On this
account the proud young gradu-
ates of 1911 would not even rec
ognize their old school grounds.
The Silvies Reservoir is here
deserving of some mention as it
was the direct cause of this
speedy evolution of the once
almost arid, sagebrush and grease
wood land, to the present pros
porous district. A cement dam

four miles wide and eighty feet
deep. II was wonderful what II
store house was made so econom-
ically. Who would have thought
twenty years before that nearly
the whole of Harvey Valley could
have been put under irrigation
with so little cost? Only an oca-
sional, foresighted Gteamer tho't
it possible.
next paid n visit to the
health resort situated a short
distance from the east end Of
Harvey Lake near n high butte
overlooking the whole expanse
of water. On the way field
after field of waving grain and
hay was passed and also pastures
where herds of fine horses and
cattle were grazing. A few
years before wild mustangs and
long horn, scrubby Texas cattle
survived here on the slough
grass and rye grass intermingled
with patches of bunch grass.
My first welcome sight was n
hotel aifording Accommodations
for many pleasure hunters and
health seekers, coming for the
benefit Of the salutary hot springs
flowing from the side of the
butte. A couple of launches
were moored to the artificial land
ing and others could be seen
skimming the clear blue waters.
Beyond this beautiful lake
could be seen n long strip of
green. This was the Silver Creek
valley and one of the first to be
put under irrigation. This pro-
ject was completed in 1912 and
very quickly were the sage brush
farms changed from their semi
arid aspect to fertile ranches.
Also a wide stretch of grazing
land thirty miles in length afford
ed stock raising Il profitable in
dustry. Crossing to the east side
of Harney valley on the Harri-
man line which entered the val
ley at Crane Creek Gap and join
ed the Sumpter line at Wright S
point, | stopped at Hartman
City. Twenty years ago nothing
but a store and sage brush ranch
stood at the spot. This busy
young city in the gateway of
Harney Valley was now a great
shipping point for the valley pro
