BEAVER (RHK WATER
There is plenty of water in Beaver creek
to furnish, La Grande for many years
with pure, Cold unminefaliied water. The
committee, appointed by the council to
investigate this water supply, reported to
the council that about 18C0.000 gallons
wing every twenty-four hours.
This amount of water, at the very dryest
season or the year is about eighteen
times as much as the city used at any
time last year according to statement
made by the water superintendent. The
government will set aside, as a permanent
res erve for the use of the city, the
water-sheds of this creek, when proper
application has been made by the city
council. The cost of conducting the water
to La Grande will be small sum com
pared with results attained by securing
a gravity system to say nothing of the
quantity and purity of the water.
Beaver creek water will taste good in
La Orande. and no pumping station will
be needed to bring it here.

Russia is having about all the grades of

VALUABLE LAND
A Wenatche orchardist coldy refused
an offer of $1800 an acre for his 10
acre orchard this week. And in no respect
was the land or the trees superior to lots of
orchards in the Grande gonde Valley that
can be bought for one-third the price.
The highest price ever paid for local
orchard was $700 an acre, but the time
is soon coming when $1000 an acre will
not be unusal.
RUSSIA'S SHAME
