Js a mistaken idea to think capitalists
are waiting with eager eye to grasp
this project. The reason Is very plain.
If there was a large tract of arid land
at hand where the water could be
used, then capital would be seeking
the reservoir site and water rights,
but such is not the case. ' The land to
be watered Is land that has been farm

GAINING STRENGTH DAILY
Without the least doubt the pro
posed irrigation district Is gaining
strength daily. ThiB Is due to the
thorough understanding of the matter
among those who are Interested and
who will be benefited. At first there
was Bome difference of opinion be
cause of the lack of understanding of

water and then sell him the water.
Corporations and syndicates are not
anxious for that sort of undertaking,
when such propositions as the one
Just developed at Twin Falls, are yet
obtainable. At Twin Falls nothing
could be raised without water, while
in the Grande Ronde fairly good crops
can be raised without Irrigation, yet
with Irrigation there would be twice
the amount raised per acre.
It Is not surprising that such a large
undertaking should require time for
the people to analyze every Teature of
It, but it will be surprising If there is

North Powder, Or.. August 19. Spe
cial. Work on the North Powder
warehouse, which is being construct
ed by the Farmers Union In a co-operative
manner, Is progressing nicely.
The foundation is completed and the
structure is assuming proportion Con
tractor W. D. Eblin says It will only
bo a short time until the large ware
house will be ready for the fall har
vest . . '
That the Farmers' Union Is here
outlining a course for other communi
ties to follow, there is not the least
doubt among the memtters who are
putting money Into the warehouse. The
Union Is growing rapidly and now
there are few ranchers In the north
end of Powder valley who are not
members. C. S. Moore, secretary of
the Farmers' Union, Is personally di
recting the building of the warehouse
and he is making St a modern struc
ture in every sense. It will be fitted
with all labor saving devices for un
loading and storing grain.
The warehouse when completed, will
oe 100x200 feet, with concrete founda
tion. It is 49 feet to the comb and
will be covered with iron on the out
side and t!ie building will have double
walla. It's cost will be $7,500.
To raise money for this kind of an
enterprise a stock company wan-formed
and shares are soil at $10 enh. No
one man can put in more, than $"0 in
talk'ng to Mr. -Moore regarding tha
warenouse he said to a representative
of the Observer: .
"There are several reasons for
building such a building. All ranch
ers realize their greatest benefit,
aside from a good crop, is the market
upon which he sells it. By having a
house like this we will be enabled to
hold crops and sell on telegraphic no
tice, whereas, under the old system, it
was necessary to either sell to the
middleman or trust to luck when ve
shipped our pwn stuff. , I am con
vinced that the warehouse will more
than pay for itself .In a short time,
and I am also convinced that the Far
mers' Union has come to stay. It is not
ai- organization intended to antagonize
any merchant or dealer, and it will not
do so. The farmers merely ask the
privilege of uniting for mutual &ood
to each other, and I do not thing ar.y
one can honestly deny such a privilege
to American citizens." .

THE MOST ACCURATE' OPTICAL SERVICE. SEE ME. 1 DEVOTE MY ENTIRE TIME TO IT.
THE QUICKEST OPTICAL SERVICE. .
SEE ME I have the only grinding machine in La Grande, and can make your glasses' to order, the same
day.
1. . My optical equipment is TWICE LARGER than any other in Union county, and I know how to use it,
to get the BEST results.'
2. MY METHOD of fitting 1b th e latest known to the science.
3. I understand the optical business so thoroughly that I do TESTING, FITTING, and GRINDING, to the
satisfaction of ALL I have done work for.
4. I NEVER have complaints on my work. ' .
5. MY CHARGES tE REASONABLE considering the service ' ren dered.
ONE CHARGE COVERS ENTIRE COST OF FRAMES, LESSES,"AND I MAKE NO CHARGE FOR EX
AMINATION. OTHERS MISLEAD YOU BY PRETENDING TO DUPLICATE ANY LENS WHILE YOU
WAIT, which means a wait of several days, if your lens is specially ground for you, as all specially ground
glasses MUST BE EITHER GROUND IN MY WORKSHOP, OR ORDERED FROM OUT OF TOWN.
Come to me First and avoid the wait
I am the only one In La Grande who can duplicate any len accurately In a few minutes, as l am
the only one equipped with grinding machluery. Did you ever bear any one I have fitted, say my glasses
were not satlsfactyry? Those I have fitted are my best recommendations.
