Insidd of two years at fartherest there will bo a continuous electric line connecting at Bllton ffom Walla Walla, via Wes ton, Athena, Pendleton, Echo and Hermtston to the Columbia river, with very prospect of the work of con struction beginning soon. Almost the entire route will be through the crook and river bottoms and the level lands of the Echo and Hermlston country. This land can ', be Irrigated and is adapted o small farming, fruit, vege tables, alfalfa, hogs, chickens and dairying on a small scale. Ten acms properly handled wll support an or dinary family. A Talk about the saloon men remain ing out of employment. Don't you ever think It; when they win have the opportunity to get homes so conveni ent and son such favorable terms. Those connected with the liquor bus iness are to a great extent of German extraction and would make neat, thrifty farmers. No, sir; haven't got It In for tlie saloon man, but for the aloon business. These men have wives and children to support and school, but they don't have to follow a business that is fast becoming out lawed, Is a crime breeder and a dls grace to this day and age. Did you ever ride 'from Milton to W'alla Walla on the electric line and notice the entire distance Is almost a village neat, happy homes with school and church houses every little Oregonian.
