A NEW FIRM
Messrs. Parr and Logan have opened a
real estate office in this city.
They have spent several weeks in look
ing over our beautiful valley, and like all
who are in touch with the progressive
spirit cf the age. realize that the natural
conditio-. are such that under intelligent
management Union county will greatly
increase her present popu'ation.
The basis of population is land, and land
that will produce. We have land and the
best of land, yet with soil second to none
and yields that are prolific, the past
few years have demonstrated that our
very best lands can be made to double
their present productiveness by irrigation
These geritlenen realized that we ire
just beginning to appreciate the value of
water, and that in time large csnals will
be running through this valley with num
erous laterals, and then the b g farms will
be divided and subdivided and hundreds of
additional homes will be added. To ac
complish this will require a very large in
vestment and considerable time,
there are several thousand acres of land
that can easily be made equal to our best
and by the addition of water vhieh can
be easily pumped. With this in view,
Messrs Parr and Logan have secured the
agency for the Morse Fairbank gasoline
engines, and motors and propose to dem-
onst-ate that increased products the first
year will more than pajl for the initial cost
of installing the pumping plant:
Wnile tie; will make a specialty of this
mode of irrig-tion, they will handle a gen
eral real estate business, buy, sell and
deal in farm, fruit and timber lands, and
city property, and are now securing lists.
Their officers are in the La Grande Nat
ional Bank building. Their ad appears in
this issue of the Observer and we assure
ail that they will fir.d these gentlemen
alive and progressive and will be found
doing their part in the furthering fie best
interests of this city and county.

melodrama with its cheap effects and
rough exaggeration, but it has an un
equalled equipment of scenery, including
the great bridge scene where the ingen
uity of the dramatist, the producer, stage
carpenter, scene painter and actjrs blends
into an unrivaled climax. The entire
audience can see the "jickknife" open
and shut and the impression made as a
steamer passes through this stage, drawn
in perfect imitation of real life is "never
forgotten. Then there is an excellent
story of the play showing how a blind

comedy brightens all the acts and a clever
company of actors fill out an entertain
