Say, don't you know Pendleton will
.never find a better time to make the
change ijrom wet to dry. .. 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
