To come to Grande Ronde valley la
1864 without dollar and.be able In
1911 to show clear title to hundreds of
acres of fertile Grande Ronde valley
purchased by the fruits of the soli and
not through speculation in any form,
is the feat accomplished by John Von
Blockland, a resident of the Island '
City district; hut -what isfeven more
remarkable" he yesterday gave S. .M.
Slough, Commercial club manager, au
thorltatlve data on local crop condi
tion in that long period of time which
would be interesting reading to local
people but is even more so to eastern '
. ,.-Mu:.;77r. scc?r; woRtorn
facts.' While he has amassed a for-
tune in tilling the soil he learned these
definite facts: since bib arrival in '64
he has never seen a crop' failure, has
never seen or heard of a man or beast
freezing to death or overcome by heat;
has grown 72 bushels of wheat an acre
on a small tract. haV never sold an
acre of ground once purchased. The
industrious son of the "Fatherland"
has a record for thrift that few can
duplicate and his lnduatrfil.data cer
tainly is interesting and lauding to the
Grande Ronde valley. - 1 ' ' ',.
