The Grande Ronde valley and Wal- , Iowa county la enjoying a wonderful prosperity and most of the people have a surplus of money. : When mon ;'y begins to pile up Its owner natur ally: seeks investment T!;cr9 has been, no great effort nudj to induce home money to engaga ia local pro ject ana maice j home Investments, hence there has been a number of agents for corporations and outside real' estate working this part of . ; Oregon. . :r: ':'- .'' ; ' . In every instance these outside men pronounce this the best fle!d In the tate for them. '""They boastlngly tell of the money that is being taken out of La Grande , and surrounding ( country for Portland and Seattle real estate, and even shady corporations have invaded this section and mulcted the people out of thousands of dol lars. And when we say shady corpor ations we mean exactly what we say. : A corporatalon capitalized for twenty millions of dollars and never having paid a dividend cannot be a wide open daylight business concern when it boosts Its stock above par and sells It to the people. 4 - It is to be regretted that more at tention 1? not paid to Investments by men who have accumulated Borne money, and it Is more to be regretted that ; home people should let this magnificent valley call to the outside world for capital to assist in devel opment when thousands of . dollars were being invested in stocks that are worthless. . ' But that is a matter for every in dividual to deal with his pocket- book is his own and no one 1a? i' a right to say a word regarding it un less it Is in a friendly way. In the spirit of sincere friendliness the Ob server, wishes to admonish the peo ple of the Grande Ronde valley.., to leave these get-rlch-qukk schemes alone. , ' Did you ever play the wheel? If you have you know now that th? wheel is the other fellow's game or he would not be standln? behind it. That Js . Just ' what ". these K putslde schemes are they ar the other fel low's game: He Is playing it in the basement and you are . on the top floor. He is getting good Grande Ronde andVV'allowa money, while you are becoming possessor of some .high ly colored lithographed Block,' or buy ing a residence lot in some addition that you will likely own twenty years from now; ., $ X. This part of Oregon needs your money and it will pay you good re turns. 5 True,' you cannot get an op portunity here to outdo Edison -and become a, railroad magnate or .an oil king, but you can get honest" returns for-your money, and 'now, honestly can you get that in any. of these get-rich-quick concerns? THE POWER OF CUMMINS. t At the republican primaries in Iowa Senator CummlnB proved his strength over . the regular party members and, Iowa iB'.,now 'claimed by the insurgents without question'.. While this may be the proper thing there are many of us who do not agree wholly with Senator Cummins' methods of doing things-, nor do we agree 'with ' his ideas of runnln-g na tional affairs. ; For years . the state of Iowa had one of the strongest and cleanest delegations in . congress. If Iowa stood for anything it meant that the national convention was almost sure to adopt it, and it also meant that her delegation would be found as a unit supporting what the state wanted. Then came Cummins. Not an ex traordinary many, by any means, but he had the powers of oratory and was free In using language that was a little Btrong In speaking of .oldtlme party members. Iowa fell In love with Cummins, that Is the rank and file of. the people did. The situation there with Cummins is very much the same as Chamberlain In Oregon. The regular! tried to heat Cummins and tW failed.' He ot office "without ! hindrance, for Cummins is normally j A selfish man. Me started what was i known as the "Iowa idea" which had about such' a run as Oregon's initiative ) and referendum and is more than any j other one thing responsible for the. "T7 TP if Meg iweini l.
