Here is just what some valley farmer needs and such opportunities are rapidly slipping away. Five years ago there was an abund
ance "of such land at $2.50 per acre. That is a thing of the past. There are now few such tracts at $5.00 and this is one of them
This tract is well watered .with springs and two living creeks. 480 acres of it fenced and a stock man will immediately under
stand why the balance is not. 6ne half mile from forest reserve. Early fprin pasture, the best of bunch grass, two cabins. A
good road from La Grande, only seven miles. Call for particulars.
