It is situated eight mil north-oaut of La Grande, Oregon, near the KlIn branch of the O. R. & N a! road. We furuUh the purchaser, Ht the end of three years, a thrifty growing apple orchard, one that has been cared for from setting. In the most approved manner, cultivating the land six or eight times a year, keepii-g the gionnd well pulverised, and at all times free from weedtf, grass and other vegetation May 1st and August 15th of each year; keeping the tret1 pruned iu the most scientific manuer; removing and burn ing all cuttings and flickers, and in short, do any and all work which will be f ir the best interest of the trees, tte replant all trees that may die in ihe first, second and third t-itrn, and pay all Uses fur three years. We furuUh tbe land, labor and material, and tre3B, and three years' care, at the nrice of $135 per acre, giving three years In which to pay for it. Our terms of payment are i3 per cent of purchase price, caeh; balance in three yearly payments, bearing interest at the rates of 0 r rent per anuuiii. The purchaser can remain where he fS make no immediate ci. ,nge iu hi business or home interests, making his present butine8 pay for his investment, Harrihctng tm time while the orcliiird Id being brought into bearing condition, and rent ascurcd that skilled horticul turalists will do the work better than he can unions he has had hortit nlturnl experiemc under conditions existiug in Oregon.

As an Investment it Is gilt edge; and is the nearest posnthie approach. to a Ktiaianteed annuity. We have all our work done by run tract and the contractors are under neavy norms io us lor the talliittil pr- foimanceof their work. We have executed a bund to the amount of $10,1KM, and have appointed Hon. J, M. Chun h, cashier of the La tor, says the New York American. It la clntincd for west ni mite that I per cent of the liquid added to 05 po cent of water Is sufficient to lay the dust on uny ordinary road and that having once been sprinkled, tuo road will not need a fresh application fur f. period varying from two to four week according to the amount of traffic on H It Is claimed that the material is a dis Infectnnt; that U priiViiutL.Uoth dust and mud end consequently to a gmii extent wear and tear. It la nouintbim ma bio and nonpolsonoim, and It doe not stain the clothes should ft fall upoi them. The first cost of treatment of a thirty foot road la less than $0 per mile, and subsequent trentment will cost one bull that amouLt. The effect of cnnttn'.m' application Is cumulative, and the road Improves considerably under the treni ment It Is point la favor of weslruinltr that there Is no need to close the road during Its application. AH that ts re quired for It Is from two to four houra dry weather following the treatment, and, of course, while still wet the lew traffic the hotter. After this period of, say, four hours, rain hna tbe effect of laiornvlnir the snrfura SERVANTS IN ECUADOR. Ulr fbe Traveler la Forced to aiunr to Swrvc Htm. If you wore living In Ecuador and wished In hire a servant wou could linrilly get one by himself or herself, aut would be compelled to tuko up with i drove of thorn, probably far outnuio Bering your own family. For example, with a cook you would hav to receive tier husband and children, and perhaps also her father and mother, Into your tintise to bed nnd board, and each would String along all his or her portable prop erty, consisting mainly of domestic pets, such as pigs, chfcUens, rabbits, itngs and other "live stock." The hus band may have some trade which he follows during the day, but at meal times and when night comes he returns to the bosom of his family and yours. It would be considered downright In humanity to refuse them food and shel ter, and nnt a sen-ant In Ecuador would work for so mean a master or mistress. The children of your cook may be utilized for light services, such as running errands, weeding the gnr den and tending the baby, but the nu merous brood is apt to be "light finger cd" and certain to be lousy, dirty and probably diseased. There Is no help for It, however, hecanse "el costumbre" has decreed that for every servant you hire you must expect at leapt a doses extra mouths to feed. Nor Is this the worst of It. Occasion ally the cook's relatives from nuotlui village come to pay her a visit of a fort night or two lasting as long as you will tolerate It men. women ond chil dren, bringing more dogs, pigs, chick ens, etc., to be housed and fed. Fortu nately, they are not accustomed U "downy bed of ease" or sumptuous living, but consider themselves In clover If plentifully supplied with beans, corn meal and potato soup, nud will sleep contentedly on the stones of the patio or the straw of the stable The danger Is that some of the stranger bangers on may not bo nn honest n the cook herself Is supposed to bo. ami cases are known wboro tblevos and even murderers thus cnlnd adml'op to the Inside oT the oaa with disas trous results.

Merciful Kit's imk Punch publishes these "merciful e capes;" In a recent account of election proceedings In which a candidate was pelted with dirt, mud thrown in the face of his wife, nnd bis daughter struck with a stick, a dally paper re marked that "the police bad difficulty in preventing a breach of the peace." A correspondent sends a brief account of various other episodes, in each of which by au equally narrow margin a contretemps was slmllaily avoided: "The ex tensive prom ises of M essi a Blank & Co., oil and tallow merchants, were completely gutted by fire last night, all five storiea being ablate at once.
