jusi a Simple Prob-
What can the Man with a Few Hund
dred Dollars Invest in to Insure
Saietyand Yet be Sure of Increas
ed Valuation?
Many have tried investments put up to them by
outside men.
I
Many have tried Town Lots at a distance.
But can they sell them at a profit?
Many have tried stock in different schemes. ,
But can they sell that stock today?
Many have tried the old patent right game.
But can they realize from such an investment?
- Then what should the small investor do with his
i
money? ! .
. He may not have enough to engage in business. It
is difficult to loan a small amount so it will earn oth- -er
tha na small rate of interest.
Follow the oldest advice on record and turn to land
investment. It is an investment that cannot get
away It is an investment combining safety with as
sured increased valuation, especially when that in
vestment is ; in fruitland. . "
Nothing beats fruitland for increased valuation!
snd the small as well as the large money now has an
opportunity to share in the profits.
The Imbler fruit district is a proven success. Ev
ery dollar placed there will yield handsome returns.
Those having meritorious offerings for the small
investor in that district are:

La Grande Investment Co.
Wenaha Lumber Co.

Loucks and Conductor Robert Jell at

Jell, who was one of the oldest con.
ductors In point of service, on the com
pany's lines, having been connected
with the road for the past 20 years,
was also on the Spokane-Pendleton
run. He had been suffering for a long
time and had been at Hot Lake for
some time past but was taken back to
his home In Tekoa Saturday. He was
almost totally blind and the senile da-
cay from which he was suffering had
completely broken his health down.
