VACZX s Mow- You FeeiMboMfil? . .There has been carried in these columns advertise ing matter to attract our local people to the great op portunities lying at their very door for bona fide in vestments in orchard tracts, and it is hoped there has been aroused an interest. We are now going to name you prices at which you can purchase the most desirable orchard tracts in the Imbler Fruit district of Grande Bonde valley. . The firms named below offer their lands at $450.00 per acre and agree to care for orchard for a period of four years with payment of ten per cent down and the balance on monthly payments of $25.00 and dur ing the four year period they charge no interest and they pay the taxes so that at the end of four years there is no greater price than $450.00 per acre paid for these lands. Now compare the statement in the following letter from one of the largest operators in northwest lands with condition existing here. "We note the sale of the Laidlaw orchard tract at Imbler for $50,000. This looks better as to price. Right here we want to state, that we spent several days in the Medford district, and in my mind cannot compare that district with the Grande Ronde, when you take into consideration the soil that you have there and the beautiful smooth lay of land I want to say as for myself in my opinion, the Grande Bond district is more favorable as an orchard proposition than the Medford district and why should you not get the prices that they get down in that district Of course Medford is a widely advertised district and well known and every train is taking seekers for or chard tracts. Of course, the majority is better im proved property than the Grande Ronde but still this will improve and as soon as you get the nerve to... charge $1,000.00 per acre for seven-year-old .or i chards, then I feel that your property will ftegin to ' M move. Now why will you wait and allow all of these desir able investments to be taken by outside people and then wake up to find that procrastination has been costly to you. Those having meritorious offerings for the small investor in that district are: G. L Cleaver, La Grande Investment Co. Wenaha Lumber Co. Sherwood Williams, Hill & Hibbard.
