Sates such as Mr. Moore records have been frequent but there has been little' aald of them -becaus? It haa grown to be commonplace events In this valley. In any other fruit; dis trict of the northwest these sales would have b:en heralded all over the country. It Is a money-making proposition to plant land to fruit in thia valley, and It la a proposition with the element of chance practically eliminated. Rev turns are sure, ail being rrquireu la the common busl'oess sense necessary in any enterprise. Here is cordial welcome to the peo ple of Oklahoma who arrived in La Grande last night. May they look carefully over thla valley , and Wal lowa county; may they Investigate everything in the minutest, manner, and If they are sure to become perm anent residents of this greatest of all portions of the glorious northwest country. ' WAXTED FIFTY COTTAGES. On this bright March morning La Grande awakens to find hers If decid edly short In residence properties, Eighteen familiea are walking the Btre:ts today tookingi tor places to helter themselves. And these peo ple are members of only one party. It Is an wry day occurrence for peo ple to hunt the city over for homes with no result. Our old friend and neighbor, George Ball, who has a home on Washington street close In, aid yesterday he could rent 50 cot tages with no effort If he had them to rent. 7 A prominent man in financial cir cles of La Grande said recently: "There is an Investment opsn for $50, 000 Jn residence property alone In La Grande and it can be made to return better than ten per cent" Think of it. Fifty thousand dollars RADIUM AXD ESERGY. "We are hearing and learning more and more in rejsard to the power of radium, and predictions , have been made that it will some day. furnish power In great quantities. This I very much doubt." said G orjte Wet- inghouse before the Southern Com mercial, congress in Atlanta. "The popular belief Is that radium con stantly produces heat and light, with out an appreciable loss in its weight, and that it will continuously produc heat. Lord Kelvin, whom I had th" honor of knowing, was greatly inter ested In the discovery of radium by Madame Curie. In on of the last con versations I had with him, I ventured to give a "conception of the cause of the 'production' of heat by radium, my . ... . . tt naea oeing mat raciium acts as .T transformer of on -:i of the forces of ether Into some other form of force, and that la such transformation heat i la produced.

Is there another place in the northwest with a demand like this? Is there any other city of your acquaintance where . there is such a demand? Rentals in La Grande arc better than they are in Portland's out lying residence district. The return on the investment re very good. And by tha way, a number of houses will be erected thla spring, but so far as known there are not nearly tnough contemplated. Everything focuses down to one firm conclusion La Grande is now In the lead of other nearby cities and the is going to stay there. FEW REALIZE THE TRUTH. A statement from Mr. Moore ap pearing! elsewhere in the Observer re garding the sale of his fruit crop In the Imbler district is of more than passing importance. It proves what is quietly being done here by the fruit grower who attends to business, and the proof Is sufficient to'make every.

Jewelers and Opticians KM Advertisements for bids for the construction of bitulithic pavement on Sixth street from Washington to the street south of the court house are now the next thing In order In the im provement of ' that street, following urgent demands upon the council by a majority of property owners last night that the petition for paving that street filed several months ago and Jam on tne taote at tnat time on the request of minority petitions be taken up and acted upon. The plans and specifications will be- patterned after the Fir street contract aa far as applicable.' . . , 7 The announcement follows a long debate on the floor of the council at various times, A majority of the property owners have -requested tlr original petition be taken up and one of the property owners has threaten ed to invoke legal proceedings if the proposition Is commenced. However, by the passage of the resolution last night on request of a majority of the property owners, the council order; d the work to proceed. already arrived at the saraei conclu sion on the general hypothesis that neither heat nor light! can be pro duced vithout energy. I refer to thla b tauBe of the Indication that there exlsta a form of energy of which we have as yet no knowledge, but which may become available to us as a re sult of further discoveries," CHEESE AS FOOD. (Denve'r Times.) James Wilson, secretary of agricul ture, has pointed the way to escape from the high cost' of living under the ordinary regime. A recent bulletin of the department glvea the results of experiments in cheese eating at W.s leyan university. Sixty-live students were filled with cheese' very day for three days. One went 'on a regular cheese "Jag" for 42 days., As a re sult of this extemporaneous course In cheese diet Mr. Wilson is convinced mat cheese Is the salvation of the npuon.. une pouna nas tne same value as two pounds of fmh meat, Is worth as much as a pound of ham. Is equal to two pounds of eggs and three pounds of flan. It costs about one third more than round steak and twice as. much as boiling beef, but the additional cost Is nothing compared with the relative benefits received. Mr. John D. Rockefeller is credited with saying that he regretted ex tremely that he n :Aer learned to eat cheese until late In life. Mr. Wil son's report will save the rest of us from a similar regret. It Is evident that we have carelessly overlooked a valuable article of diet which we supposed to be good only for Indiges tible midnight lunches. AMERICAN JEWS IN RrSSIA. (Los "Angeles Examiner.) American protests against whole sale massacre of l.ts Jewish subjects by the Russian government have been of little avail. But the results should be different where our own cdmpa trlota are made the vlctlma of Rus sian oppression. The government at Washington should Insist that American Jews in Russia should have the aame. treat ment there that other Americana re-J celve. The United States cannot with self-respect permit any foreign state to discriminate against the American cltlieni of whatever racial extraction. This country stands before fhe world as the chief oponent of the principle that citizenship is not a matter of birth or blood, but of free allegiance. Thus a blow struck at an American In a foreign land because of hit race is a blow struck at the Seeks Another Fortune. Spokane, Wash., March 15. (Spe cial) William C. Gates of Spokane, known from Alaska to Mexico as "Swiftwater Bill," who accumulated e-e'veral fortunes in Alaska, Califor nia, Nevada and Arizona, only' to squander them, when he reached civ ilization, has formed a syndicate her.? to develop 2,228 acres of placer gold in the Torre damba district in South America. He has acquired four prop erties from the government of Peru the titles being attested by the Am'T lean consul at Lima.. The gold beds are 600 miles back from the Pacific ocean and are traversed by the Tor rctfamba, referred to by the natives ad "the river of the roaring bull." Gates, who has Just returned from a trip to the Peruvian wilds' on which he was accompanied by his girl-wife, an nounces the syndicate has provided ample funds to work th' properties. He will employ 200 natives to work In the creek beds and do the slulcln? and as soon as operations are under way, late this 3pring, he and Mrs. Gates will head an expedition Into unexplored portions of Peru and Bo livia. .
