Rh Union has valuable stock interests.

At Baker City I had a home feeling from again being among rich and valuable mines, there being many rich gold producing properties tributary to the city.

Stock raising on a large scale has been conducted here, and today great herds of cattle and horses roam at will over these seemingly boundless ranges, and thousands have been shipped and are continually being shipped yearly, from the extensive surrounding ranges of Eastern Oregon. From here a branch line extends to Sumpter and Whitney, bringing in the ore from the rich mines of the Blue Mountains.

Horses, cattle and sheep from the stock ranges of the Burns and Canyon City sections all bring prosperity and business to Baker City.
