O'Connor Tract Offers Fine Invest
ment Opportunities. ,
The 300-acre tract of Dr. G?orge
O'Connor, which Is marly all Inside
the city limits, and which is sur
rounded on three sides by residence
districts, is the next logical residence
addition to La Grande. In fact the
time has already arrived when most
of It can be plotted and so'd In lota
Five blocks were p'otted recently, end
within two days after having b en put
on the market, half of these lots had
found eager purchasers.
The tend starts within only five
blocks of Fir street and Adams ave
nue, th? center of the business dis
trict of La Grande. Before the city
Itaa doubled its present population.
this tract will be entirety a residence
section. It Is Dr. O'Connor's purpose
to cut up Into five and ten-aore tracts,
that part of the land most distant, and
thes? tracts will make Ideal fruit and
vegetable Harms. There Is ample wa
tir. Two live streams, besides power
wa'er from Morgan Lake, run througu
the tract.
The natural drainage Is superb and
when the time comes for sewers they
can be most Intxpenslve'y and effec
tively laid.
As an investment proposition, there
Is nothing to boat this ln the Northwest.
Dr. O'Conner will sell In any
amount to suit purchaser, and tne
prices ask d are "acre" prices for "lot"
and. A few acres bought there ana
htld will make anyone rich. The trend
of the residence section Is all that
way. and nothing can prevent lA

C. D. Huffman, La Grande, Oregon
I came to the Grande Ronde Valley In
March. 1900, at which time land was
selling from 110 io t2Z per acre,(
has steadily advanced. I paid
per acre for land planted to "Winter
apples. I have Improved this some,
and can now sell It for over $450 per
acre. A grain farm that was priced
at $20 per acre when I came here I,
two years Inter, paid $60 for, and I
could sell it for $100 per acre. My
land lies c'os: to the town of La
Grande. This Is a good an apple sec
tion as can be found. In 1903 I sold
1.300 boxes of apples at 75 cent, per
box; 1.000 gal'ons of cherries at 21
cents per gallon; and small fruit and
pears enough to pay the expenses of
caring for the entire orchard. The
fruit business here Is only ln It. In
fancy. With no bllzards or droughts,
with mild and even temperature, Ore
iron and Eastern Washington certJ
have inducement, worthy of the cafcf
ful consideration of the homeseeker.
