Approx imately 500.000 acres are included in the sale and the consideration involved about $750,000. I E. M. Wellman & Company j ADAMS AVENUE ON EASY STREET The man who wrestles with the cow and learns the calves to suck, who casts the corn before the swir.e is now in greatest luck, for butter's on the upper grade, veal's higher than a kite, pork is climbing up the scale, and beef is out of sight, the eggs he gathers every day from his chicken coop are almost worth their weight in gold, and we are in the soup. His corn brings a fancy price, it's rising every day. and he makes .all kinds of money for half a ton of hay. The farmer is in the saddle, and when he comes to town the rest of us by right should "go way back and sit down." Ex.

Haines Record Many wno are accustomed to tne ex citement of seeing the arrival and de parture of tne east bound tram were greatly disappointed this morning. From force of habit they had learned to expect the train about one hourlate, but ther must have been an accident of some sort for trie train was on time. Farmers who visited the city today as a rule, were rushing their trading to get back. The cloudy weather the past few days caused them more or less uneasiness as only about one third of the threshing is completed. The yields are proving very satisfactory. So far very few have sold from the fact that they are not yet -eady to deliver. Wm.J. Graham, one of Ladd Canyon's most progressive farmers, was a La Grande visitor this afternoon.

He says it is easier to haul cream to the creamery'than to haul hay. BORN A nine pound boy was born to Mr. and Mrs. A. N. K rouse, at Troutdale, Ore., Saturday, August 25.

AdarnAvenuearKiGreanwci; V(ENTRAL RAILWAY The steel for the Central Railway is beginning to arrive and fifteen miles of the stuff is here or on the way and al- otigh Tol"3eTayl!aT-is ' welcome by all parties concerned. Our1 business men and shippers can readily understand that it has been exceedinly difficult to get freight through on any of the roads and that the steel for the ne v road has been delayed an unusual time. The grade is now competed from Union to Cove and most of the way to Hot Lake. It is the intention of the company to build to La Grande, and up Catherine creek, and to Medical Springs. A wrong impression has prevailed more especially at Union, that the company will build only from Union to Cove. Such is not the case as the plans of the company in volve a road to La Grande well as to Cove. When the road is built through the timber belt to the mines near Medical Springs, Union's harvest time will appear. The plans of the company are satisfactory ty all and their spaedy consum mation is earnestly desired.r-Union Scout.
