SELDER, Th cnandy
and business houses,
In shape and size, this "Vale ol Grande
Ronde" is an oval about sixteen bv twentv
five miles in extent, with whole neighbor
hoods of farms lying on the surrounding
hills. In fact, along every creek, and in
every little nook and valley far up into the
mountains there are prosperous little
homes. '
There are in the Grande Ronde Valley,
six towns and three villages of varying
sizes. Some of the largest are incorpor.
ated, and all are growing, and doing a
volume of business according to their
sizes. All have schools and churches,
most of them have fburino mills and
other industries, notably, a woolen mill at
Union, a beet sugar factory at La Grande
and a pine fibre factory at Summerville.
But it is of the wonderfully fertile soil
of the Grande Ronde. that the at.tanfion
of the homeseeker is especially invited, for
in orande Rondo Valley we have "Bread
and with it." Car loads of white, whole
wheat and graham flour are shipped out
ot here, every year. While our millers,
on request, make corn meal, oat meal and
even buck-wheat flour. All which cereals
are raised here, and in addition, rye and
barley.
To go with our bread we have, first,
meat; cattle, hogs, sheep and fowl, (chick
ens, ducks, geese, turkeys and pigeons,)
and fish. And besides the grain to feed
our meat, we raise timothy, alfalfa clover
wild grasses, and some progressive farm
ers, and the Experiment station have been
testing other varieties; but as they are
not extensively cultivated, we will not
mention them. On the surrounding hills
is found the nutritious bunch grass. To
be sure, we must not forget the butter
and cheese produced from our cows, both
in homes and creameries. And ves! Ice
cream; for no one knows how manv hun
dreds of gallons the creameries make
every summer, and even far into the win
ter, not to mention that made in private
houses. Surely the ice cream cow must
not be omitted from our list of blessings.
To be seasoned with all these cood
things, are our vegetables. Where can
you find more succulent onions, radishes.
