HOT LAKE SANATORIUM
"ThtVjan8a " tne West"
Tht Greatest Health Resort of the
Northwest A Hundred Thousand
Dollars Now Being Spent on lm
provsmsnts Accommodations for
300 Guests.
The wonderful curative properties
of Hot Lake waters were known to tne
Indians ages ago, and ailing members
0( the Northwest tribes came from
gri-ut distances to secure a r .-newal of
health through Us us.
White men discovered the springs
early lni!ji 'hen an exploring party
passed Rsiru8n tne Grande Ronae
Va ley from the mouth of the Columbia
river. As this section became sUtld
the people continued to demonstrate
the great medicinal value of the water
and finally a company was organized
and a suitable Sanatorium building
erected, capable of caring for 100
guests. This was only three years ago,
yet for some time It has been evident
that facilities for the accommodation
of more people were imperatively
needed. This demand is now being
nvt b? tne erectlon of a magnificent
new bulging with rooms for 200 peo
ple whlHCjkdJoins the present commod
ious snnktorlum. It will be completed
and furnished by the first of the com
ing year1. When the entire scheme of
Improvement which baa been begun is
entirely carried out, the expenditures
at Hot Lake will, total between $300,
000 and $400,000.
Hot Lake, Ore, Is on the main line
of the Oregon Railroad & Navigation
Co., 314 miles east of Portland, In the
beautiful Grande Ronde Valley, at an
altitude of 2,700 feet above sea level.
The main spring which feeds tne
lake has a flow of two and a half mil
lion gallon a day. Its temperature is
boiling. Take flow Is fully four times
greater and the temperature 70 de
grees hotter than the famous Hot
Springs of Arkansas. In fact, it Is
the largest, hottest and most curative
springs In the whole world. Besides
furnishing water for the baths, and
heat for the bath-house and Sanitar
ium, a great river of this water goes
to waste.
For all diseasia of the stomach, for
rheumatism, and disorders of the
blood, eczema or any skin disease,
there is not a more certain cure In ex
istence than the water of Hot Lake.
It has been repeatedly proven that all
diseases cured in Hot Springs, Arkan
sas, disappear even more quickly un
der treatment here. Some of the
cures e!Bted (particularly of rheuma
tism) baffler on the miraculous. Peo
ple unable to walk even with crutches
have been carried to the Sanatorium on
mattresses, and Inside of a month have
become as active as If they had never
had a touch of rheumatism In their
lives.
Dyspepsia and all stomach allnvnts
vanish speedily and the cures are per
manent. In eczema or kindred skin diseases
this water has never failed to cure.
The water Is palatable, and large
quantities can be safe'y taken without
discomfort Its cleansing properties
are astonCgJng, resulting In complete
rejuvenation. "That tired feeling" Is
soon dissipated, and perfect health re
stored. Hundreds of patrons visit this Sana
torium to recover from the effects of
over-work, and to regain their vitality.
AH are greatly benefitted In an In
credltably short time.
The accommodations at present,
while limited to 100 guests, are de
cidedly excellent. The Sanatorium is
modern three-story structure, con
taining al lthe facilities of a large
hotefl. There Is a commodious lobby,
poo and billiard rooms, cigar and
newstand, and attractive dining-room
on the first floor. The ladies' parlor,
which opens on a spacious veranda
ovcrloofcm? the lake, is on the second
floor. Ve guest-rooms are neany
fi.nlshefl, and the beds are comfort
able. There is no bar. and the man
agement prohibit gambling or tne
tipping of attendants. Long-diftance
telephone and telegraph facilities are
provided.
The building is postered through
out, every room heated by the hot
water of the pprlngs and lighted by
electricity.
On the south, the lobby opens Into
a sun-parlor and conservatory, and
on the north It opens Into a glass-enclosed

drlnklngNvoom and hath house. The
drfnklng room Is a small brick build

There is little comparison between
the clothing of Hart, Schaftner &
Mirx and the average of "ready-made
v its." A few years ago, this great
clothing concern became impretied
with the fact that careful dressers ana
en-jiaomed men almost Invariably
preferred to pay from 130 to $60 for a
tailor-made suit, rather than to wear
custom-mode clothing at any price.
Hart, SchafTner & Marx then went to
work. They Improved their equip
ment, studied new Ideas, hired the
highest-priced designers and cutters
and Invented new methods. Using the
best of fabrics and sparing no expense
to maintain the high standard of each
garment, the firm has practically
revolutionized the clothing business.
Today, many of the best-dressed men
one meets are wearing Hart, Shaffntr
& Marx clothing. Their suits repre
sent the pick of the new fabrics, both
Imported and domestic, and outside

the public that the "H. S. & H." label
on clothing Is "a small thing to look
tor, but a big thing to find."

J. H. Hutchinson, Union, Oregon
I came to the Grande Ronde
Valley In November, 180S, and pre
empted 160 acres of land near the
present city of Union, Since coming
here I have been engaged principally
in farming and stockraialng. I own
about 3.000 acres of land In the Grande
Ronde Valley, all but a small portlou
being Improved agricultural land. I
also own about 4,000 acres of agricul
tural lands In the Powder River val
ley, Baker county. I have been en
gaged extensively in the stock busi
ness, now owning- 1,000 cattle, 4,000
sheep and 400 horses. I raise all kinds
of grain In the Grande Ronde Valley,
also timothy and wild hay. When well
cultivated, land here produces 40
bushels of wheat and 60 to 100 bushels
of oats per acre, while timothy land
produces from I to 1 1-2 tons of nay
per acre. Most all of the land In the
Grande Ronde Valley Is adapted to the
growing of sugar beets, a factory be
ing located at La Grande. From ten
to twenty tons per acre Is the yield.
All kinds of fruit are profitably grown
here. In the Powder River valley all
kinds of small grain yields well and
the greater portion of the valley Is
adapted to the growing of alfalfa, 7 to
8 tons per acre being- the yield.

Karl J. Stackland, Cove, Oregon
I left Kansas in 1891, after living In
that state nine years, previous. y liv
ing In Dakota and farther east In
search of the best place for myself In
the United States, I spent much time
in Investigating conditions east and
west,, also In the south, and concluded
to try Oregon. I landed with $10 cash
at La Grande, In the Grande Ronde
Valley,. In October, 1881, and found a
country full of resources and advant
age s not possible In other parts of the
United States where I had been. I
found this an Ideal' locality tor raising
fruit of near.y every kind. I bought
I some foothill land at Cove, and en
gaged In fruit-growing, and now only
I regret that I did not come here mucn

. tornadoea, or blizzards: no exasslve

are mild, with grass the year round.
My health is much beter than It was
In Kansas, and I weigh fifteen pounds
more. I live better by S00 per cent,
and I believe others would think the
same If they would come and see the
country. For making a home, I would
rather have 20 acres of good land here
than 160 In Kansas or Nebraska, and
believe that one could live better and
much more comfortably off the 20
acres. It Is not necessary for one to
depend on one or two crops, as thtre
Is good money In general farming, with
stock connected. Crops never fall, If
put In properly. A family of five could
make a good living from 10 acres, and
money from 20 acres. I now have
about 4.000 fruit trees (about 60 acres)
cherry, apple, pear and peach and
from my experience here, for returns,
I .consider this equal to a 400-acre or
chard In the central west, aa the crops
here are at least five times greater per
acre. I am familiar with the present
conditions in the east, having made
several trips there the last few years,
and I slncere'y bell ve that a large
majority or the people in the east
would never go back to live there If
they could only see what Orerxm and
Eastern Washington has to offer In
the way of opportunities and attrac
tive and pleasant homes.

E. J. Conrad, La Grande, Orttgon
Having heard ao much of the possi
bilities of the great Pacific Northwest,
I decided to make a trip for observa
tion, and, on the th of November.
1900, boardrd the cars, my destination
being La Grande, Ore. I Intended
looking over the state of Oregon and
on my return take In the state of
Idaho. It was not my Intention to
buy a farm or ranch, but after spend
ing a week In looking over the beauti
ful Grande Ronde Valley I was so
favorably Impressed with the country
that I bought a small stork farm, In
tending to make It the home of my
herd of Hereford cattt. I could not
fall to notice the thrifty and prosper
ous appearance of the farmers and
stocknvn In this valley. They had
modern houses, up-to-date barns and
outbuildings, and. as a rule, well
painted and kept In good repair. I
spent 18 years In the Saupete valley of
Utah. HVre In the Grande Ronde the
farmers do not Irrigate and they grow
as good crops of all kinds of grain
with as little labor as I ever saw In
any country. I need not tell you about
the fruit, for It la known the world
over. -
