J- the trei is inclined" an old adage and a true one. - It applies not only to trees and chfldren, but to cities as well. La Grande as a community is just emerging from the condition of a village' and assuming the aspect of a city. It is growing toward! the south and the Connbrdale A dition. Anyone doubting this statement who wffl take the trouble to walk down Washington avenue and take noWof We ' activity in i paving, 'grading,. opening ; up of streets and building operations will be convinqed of that facti As the citjr increases in size, its growth will continue . , along these same lines. That is 'a matter of past experience and common sense. r,. ,1, -iU:. I. In fact, the direction in which the city of La Grande must grow has al- r ready been determined by natural conditions and surroundings. It is hemmed in ' on one ide1 by steep foot-hills; on another side by the Grande Ronde river and .". 1 ; -.I hundreds of acres, of natural manufacturing sites that will soon be in demand; ; on the third side by the railroad tracks," shops and yards. Therefore it can only grow tcf any great extent in ONE direction SOUTH" ', TOWARD CONNOR- DAL. he best residence and "business section will grow AWAY from the smoke' dirt and noise of switching engines, mills and shops not TOWARD them. Connordale is the only large tract in th city available for a restricted, improved arid uniformly developed residence section. The city improvements are already in. - Property is still cheap. Within a short time it will double in value. ; , , Think this oyer, then go down and see for yourself or let us take you over this property, i Your own judgment will confirm the truth of these statements. . : a La Grande Developm eht SZo.i ...J .
