HUGH O'KANE, MANAGER.
BEND, OREGON. 23. 7. 19 11
BEND is situated in the very heart of the Deschutes Valley, on the banks of the Deschutes River where the vast pine timber belt meets the irrigated lands. No other town in all Central Oregon is so well located for economic development, no other can approach it in the beauty and healthfulness of its surroundings, and none will be half so much benefitted by the coming of the railroads.
A great irrigation segregation has its headquarters at Bend. At least twenty billion feet of timber is tributary to the town, whose milling in itself assures a great future. The Deschutes river in the immediate vicinity offers some 25,000 horsepower for the operation of the mills and plants of the future.
The Oregon Trank Railroad is building to Bend. Practically all the grading from the Columbia River is completed, and cars will be running early in April. Bend will be the terminus of this road for a considerable period. The Harriman Deschutes Road already is building into the Bend country. The east- and west line of the Hill road branches off from the Columbia-Klamath line at Bend. Bend, then, is situated at what will be the most important junction point in Oregon.
Immediately adjacent to Bend are some three hundred thousand acres of irrigated land under the Cury Act segregation of the Central Oregon Irrigation Company. This land is FREE. Perpetual water rights cost $40 an acre. Forty acres means independence, eighty acres brings wealth. Every product adapted to the perspective of the rich volcanic soil. The land is easily worked and watered. It offers the greatest irrigationist's opportunity to be found in the Northwest. Come and investigate for yourself before all the big cheap-land chances are gone.
From Bend settlers are located on 350-acre homesteads on the vast area of sage branch lands to the southeast. Here is found the biggest and the last big chance for the land hungry to get free government land that is worth the having.
The railroads are coming. Harry and get in on the ground floor. Central Oregon is the greatest homeseekers' and investors' proposition in all the West today. Bend is the pivot point of Central Oregon. It is destined to make a magnificent city. Those who come to Bend now and to the country around Bend, will win wonderful rewards for their foresight.
And when you come to Bend remember that the

Dear Tr Thomas
I forwarded a few days ago initiation from Archbishop which I hope you received. Readily let me know how you are joying to dispose of this matter as soon as you can. From a little just received from the Postor of Roseliney it is evident that the matter is getting cerevalation at the Postor. I quietly assume mill faith welcome series worst I spoke with Leonard Casimir and they think that if we allow the present chance to go by it is to happen jolly as a matter fact I don't think we would ever get Roseliney only for the second day that event there. People (Catholics)

I was speaking to the Provenie of the franciscans the other day the till me he spent 2 000 all last year alone in the missions around here. I know for a fact that he you Burns $ 000. & a place in Cartland 9 000 & so that our little mile ought not to deter any one. There are no more plums to be found out here so that if we want place we have to take the best we can get. If the Provenie does not wish to take up their place then the Archbishop ought to be worned immediately I don't think he will have any difficulty in getting willing hands to accept; but he seems particularly ongoing that our men should have them.
Hoping you will clareantly your super
