MO WATER 4 The Irrigation project will help our creamery, will make a large cannery poFBlble and profitable; will make 11 possible for l5o new homes within a very short time, and a little later more than double that amount; It menns that hundreds of acres of land In this Immediate vicinity will be planted Into fruit and alfalfa; It means the ex tension of the Cove rallror..d Into La Grande; It means better schools, a larger city and general development. This will only be a starter. We have the great store houses of winter snows to fill reservoirs that nature has pro vided, on al! sides of our valley and while the Sundrldge may not be cov ered by this project at this time, every one who has given irrigation any thought whatever, recognizes the fact that this entire valley will be Irrigat ed, within the next few years. Yvltlf2 water, .cur large land owner? cannot afford to grow wheat, and they will not themselves grow 600 or 1000 acres' of fruit and alfalfa, but they will sell off 80 and 1(10 acra tract to tliwt who will and can develop these tracts so they will make as much money as the former owners did on the larger tracts. It requires time to bring about changes. At first It was difficult to get our people in town iu ijhu .i.i.. the telephone. The first year there were not to exceed GO 'phones In Lu Grande, and the next year there were not 200; now we have between 900 and 1000. The same thing was true with the 'phone system In the valley. It re quired several years before the far mers took to It. Now we have 'phono lines running to nil parts of the vi ley and the writer can sit in The ob server office and call up over one-half of the farmers of the valley. The same thing will be true of Irrigation. Let us make the start and the expan sion of the system will rapidly follow, Nature has more than favored us There Is not a ninth.'

CLAM BROTH BEEF TEA CHOCOLATE With Whipped Cream -: ! SELDER, m MAN Tho proposal of the American Light & Water company to the city council last night to construct the Beaver creek water pipe line for $ 146,000, demonstrates one thing to the entire satisfaction of not a few of the people, and that is, the project can be built within the proposed estimates and that the $160,000 bonds are sufficient. This company also proposes to take the bonds. If this bid Is accepted and it is quite probable It will be, there will remain 614.000 to pay the supervising engineer and other minor expenses that always follow such an undertak ing, . Until the tittle 'limit given the Chi cago firm to perfect its contract to buy the bndS txplres, final action on th proposition made by the American Light & Water company cannot b taken until the 20th. but there Is little doubt but what It may be. It seems that the system Is to be completed this year. Mr. Lowry, who represents the company, states that he will commence work Just as soon ay tho weather will permit, and that he will complete the same within flv months. , More Street l.llits. Eleven more street lights were or dered last night. Theer are to be placed In each of Wards 2. 3, and 4. and two lights In South La Grande. This gives the city a total of 50 arcs, which, according to the contract, enti tles the city to a rate of $6 per light. Eire Limit C)ianfl. An ordlnunce was passed last night eliminating lots 9 to 71 In block 111, Chaplin's addition. This Is the prop erty asked to be eliminated by John Wilson, who desired to move the old Baptist church on his property, to be used for business purposes. The near beer ordinance was read twice and referred to committee. If It becomes a law. a year tax of $u0 and the exclusion of minors where sold, will be one of the features. There were a number of minor transactions at the council ineetlng I. ist nlcht.

PCLACK, Prop PHONE MAIN 75 i TO BUY A FORD Is an Exercise of Good Judgement v-J C22fWW ALOW PBlCtO CAR i&SEJr MODEL T. $850.00 With a $2,000,000.00 cash paid In capital stock, with Henry Ford as president and chief designer, with 25,000 good cars In use all bear ing that quality mark, a Ford Imprint, with the biggest automobile factory In the world making Ford cars, and with that same old or ganization that baa made Ford cars known the world around haklng the present cars, Ford buyers have the strongest guarantee eyer at tached to any product. Using the same steel, Vanadium Steel, that the United States gov ernment pronounces superior to Krupp armor plate, that enabled In ventor Davis to reduce the weight of his new torpedo from 1000 lbs to 40 lbs., the same steel that makes the safest steel rails ever turn ed out, the most enduring locomotive frames ever manufactured, Ford cars need no other defense as to their quality. Better material than Ford uses cannot be bought. With more good cars in dally use than any other manufacturer ever built and every car a good car, every buyer a Ford booster, with 25,000 Ford cars shouting superiority, Is It any wonder that the Ford factory has to work full force winter and summer, double sntfta at tnat, to fill orders, and that Ford has had to triple his capacity by building the largest automobile factory In the world." The very fact that, In spite of the enormous output, 100 cars per day, the factory wag oversold 3000 cars last season, is a guarantee of Ford value and your protection In buying. It's hard to give away an Inferior product, the acr of quallt sells Itself. That's" the reason for the new factory. So it's an cxreclse of good sense to buy a Ford the same good sense that has already governed 25,000 buyers of Ford cars and the' flrt step In this exercise In the direction of a thorough investigation. Make tts prove what we say or no sale If we could not, you w ?uld be out nothing, when we do you get the biggest automobile value ever offered. Come in today, or tomorrow if more convenient, or 'phone us to come to you. We want to show you that we know what we are talking ab ut. , And thing of the money saved. In some Instances one or two thousand, yes, three thousand dollars, and without sacrificing one cent's worth of value. There Is some room for honest doubt that th2 car for a thousand dollars more offers equal value with the Model "T" Ford 4-cylInder 20 h. p. 5-passe ger touring car at $850.00, so bank the difference. It Is sure to come In handy for something else. L C SMITH Agent la Grande Grande 4 Ronde Lumber Co. ESS. PERRY, OREGON CAM FURNISH LUMBER OP M L KINDS IN CARLOAD LOTS.
