V A Large Manufacturing Establishment will lo cate in La Grande if Encouraged. A few weeks ago the Observer pub lished a letter Irjm a representative ol tbe Battle Creek Breaklast Food Co ol Quinoy.Ill. in !iioh it stated thai tbe company was thinking strong!) of establishing a factory in Oregon, and La Grande bad been suggested as a location well suited to tbe establish ment of such an institution. Yesterday Mr. A. H, Caudland ar rived in tbeony from Qiincy and ou behalf of the oompany is looking over the field to see what enoouragewem suob an ealablisuieht migl receive in La Grande. Mr. Oaotllaud is not authorized to uike or accept any DroDOsals. but il the business men o this oitv should show a disposition to enoourage tbe location of the faotoo here, the pres'dent ol the comp:lov will come ou: and incut with tilt bneiness men aud explain what the oompany pioposes. . The Battle Creek Breaklast Food Co. manufactures a prepaied foot' known as "Egg -O-Sue," which pro duct is manufactured from Oregon hatd wheat, and this is their reason for wanting to wove the laotory to Oregon. Tbe factory has a oapaoity of three cars of wheat per day and turns out six cars of tbe fiuished product per day, employing 150 people. Ore gon hard wheat, with 33 cunts per bushel ad dad as freight, costs tba com pany in Quincy about one dollar pir bushel, so that by moving the factory to Oregon tbero would be a saving to the company ol about 33 cents on every bushel of whent. Should tbe company oome to La Grande tbey will erect a factory nfr an expenditure ol $200,000. Mr. Cnnd land stated that beyond a doubt the faotory will be totaled either here at Portland and the company favors La Grande if they can secure sutli- cient incouragement. Certainly sucb a manufacturing establishment would be a big thing for La Grande aud the proposition should be carefully investigated. Grande Ronde Valley Fruit Farm The Grande Rondo valley fruit farm contains 320 so n, and ii to be sold in lota of of ten lots am! and up, to snlt the purchaser. It is situated eight mil es north-east of I Grande, Oregon, near the Elgin bianth of tlwO. R. M. abroad. We furnish the purchaser, ut the end of three years, a- thrlliy growing apple orchard, one that baa been cared for from setting, in the v moat approved manner, cultivating the land six or eight times a year, keeping the giouud woll pulverised, and at all tiniea free from weeds, j(rasa and other vegetation May 1st and August 15th of each year; keening the trees pruned in tbe most scientific manner; removing and burn ing all, cuttings and suckers, and in abort, do any and all work which will be fir the beBt interest ol me trees, n replant all trees that may die In tbe first, second and third years, and pay all tzes for three years..
