      Using techniques from set theory and algebraic topology this paper investigates the order of any homeomorphism of the \(n\)th power of the long ray or long line \(\mathbb L\) having finite order: all possible orders are identified in the first case when \(n=1,2,3\) or 4 and in the second case when \(n=1\) or 2. All finite powers of \(\mathbb L\) are acyclic with respect to Alexander-Spanier cohomology.
