rer 0DAY the sure money is made in developing
orchard lands. No cne will for a moment de
jl ny that fact. The world's supply for the
next' twenty years, according to government
statistics will be short. The northwest produces, the
;only apples that set the standard of quality for the,
market. Therefore, not only the United States but
ihe entire world is looking to the northwest for its
supply of first class apples.
All this being true, let us call vour attention to the
difference In apple lands of the northwesta. Men
are growing wealthy from apple lands in Hood River,
Wenafcchee, Medford and Yakima, yet right here in
the Grande Ronde valleyat our very door, i3 apple
land that is proven to be a much better investment ;
and will earn a great deal more money than land in;
j.he districts named.
For instance, in Hood River, Wenatchee, Medford';
and Yakima a six-year-old orchard brings $2,000 per
acre, and a len to twenty year old orchard brings $3,
000. The actual cost of production, including spray
ing, pruning and EXTRA grading i3 70 cents per
box. The average sale price of these apples is $2.50,
netting the grower $1.80 per box.
Here in the Imbler district six-year-old orchard
land is priced at $500 an acre and the 10 to 20 year old
orchard is priced at $800 an acre. On account of free-
dom from pests, climatic conditions and difference in
grading it costs the producer but 40 cents a box to
raise his apples. These find ready sale at $1.25 per
box, netting the grower 85 cents.
When you consider the difference in price of land
in favor of the Imbler district, the low cost of produc
tion, no irrigation, and the final prices received for
the product the Imbler land far exceeds the land in
the above named districts when it comes to returning
the dividends cn labor and capital invested, and the
dividend is always proof of the wise or unwise invest
ment. The people of Eastern Oregon should compare the
money-earning features of every proposition before
ihey invest their savings, and if th is is done there will
be no question but what they will seek investment in
the Imbler district because it will prove to them what
can be done before a dollar is parted with.
These having orchard propositions of merit in the
Imbler district are G. L. Cleaver, I?. Grande Invest
ment company, Wenalu Lumber company and C. S.
VTilliams.

The efforts of thr birdmen at fly
Ins have been reproduced by most of
the film makers but it remains for the
French firm of Gaumont to fully por
tray a fatal accident.
Last year at Rhelms, in France, the
noted aviators, Messrs. Laffont and
Pola started In a monster monoplane
for a record fllsrht which proved to be
their last. Mr. Gaumont's. operators
were on the field to take motion pic
tures of the US' r. ' nd flight, not an
ticipating the i-aUKtroihtj which was
to follow. When the nhmen had as
cended 1,000 t'ti t t'oeir machine col
laosed and crashed to the ground,
crushing the life out of the two dar
ing aviators and reducing the mono
plane to a heap of Bt rap.
This Is all vlvldlw shown In the pic
tures at the Isis and shoufd b; seen.
Tonight is the only chance to see It
as the program is changed tomorrow.
