industry Is growing much more rab
idly than few of us realize. New acre
age In both large and small tracts Is
the order of the day and has been for
several years, and will continue. There
are several speculators at this tlm-i
figuring on putting out large tracts
and selling It out In ten and twenty
acres. This has proved a profitable'
investment where ever attempted In
the past few years and has resulted
in hundreds of acres of fine growing

had great deal to do with this con

cause for nervousness to those en

SHELL PASSES
AWAY
William D. Shell died at the Orion
borne at an early hour this raornin.?
after a lingering Illness the chief nil
ment being heart disease. Friends
here have wired to relatives In Iowa
to 'ascertain what disposition will be
made of the remains.
Mr. Shell came to La Grande several
years ago and during almost his en
tire stay here was employed In the La
Grande Iron Works as expert pattern
maker. Of late he has, but been able
to work but little and the last two
months, no work at all.
He la survived by four children
three of whom live in Iowa and a
daughter Cleda, . aged 8 yean, who
now makes her home with Mr. and
Mrs. G. L. Cleaver of this city. ,

FOR HELP
Demand for farm labor has been
much greater than the available help
the Inst week Is the report from La
Grande real estate men an l employ
ment agencies. Farmers want men
quite badly, but little - response is
made to the advertisements for labor
ing men. Greeks are plentiful, but
us a rule they are confined to section
work as few farmers care to Mie
them. J
At this early date the employment
agencies are surprised tit the num
erous demands and the predict thbt
workmen will be scarce thi? r-'iin'ner.
Wages now are $30 per mouth end
board, for farm work.

Hand Concert to Produce That Novel
Overture, Sky Pilot." "
It would seem almost impossible
nowadays to write an overture- con
taining any novel features, but Mr.
Laurens has succeeded in the case of
"Sky Pilot," which will be rendered as
one of the features in the La Grande
band concert at the Steward April 5.
The musician has composed a spirited
number, full of original and most
strklii; effects. No finer 'overture
has been written In a long time.

IT COSTS YOU ALMOST NOTHING TO SEE ALBERTA
In order that homeseekers and land buyers may see Aloerta at the lowest possible expense, the Canadain
Pacific Railroad Company has made a late of tut $15. 5 frcm Pendiclers to Calgary, the lowest rate ever offered
between these points and places the trip to the Calgary district within the reach of every homeseeker.
77ie Canadian Pacific Railroad Company has iust opened up the central section of its 3,000,000. acre tract in the
Bow River Valley, east of Calgary. This immense tract is divided into three seciions and heretofore the western section
has been upon the market. Recentlo all the wheat land in the western section has been advanced to $15.00 per acre,
making a handsome profit for those who bought last fall at $10 per acre. In thz central section, which has iust beeji
openedthe company is now offering excellent wheat land on the main line of the Canadian Pacific and on the line of the
Canadian Northern at $10. $11.5o and $13.5o per acre on ten years t'rmz. This land is excellent wheat land and is In the
midst of a new irriqited district where a half a milHon dollar reservoir is to be constructed this year and where the com-'
pany will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in ditch construction and other developments.
With railroads being built through the country and settlement adva-icing at a rapid rate this new land will advance
from $5. to $8 per acre within the next few months. You cannot afbrd to let mzney lie idle with such land investment
open to ycu. Pay one-tenth in cash and let the crops pay the remainder, or self at a handsome profit before another pay
ment is due.
Fortunes have been made and are today being made in Alberta wheat lands
and-you are missing the last best opportunity to secure cheap good lands on
the American Continent.
