How that man made mi xwearl" London Chronicle. "Doing What?" Why, thinking and talking about Connordale, of course. Pretty soon the 56 lots that still remain unsold will be gone and more than 200 people will be getting ready to take advantage of our building offer. And those who have delayed . taking action will be disappointed. That is the experience of all who fail to take advantage of a good opportunity when it is presented to them. . . You may say, "Why, I knew that piece of property when it was a va cant field, and I could have bought it for a song." If that is true you also can probably look back upon the time nto so very long- ago when La Grande was a village. But La Grande is now a full-fledged young city with the second great est pay-roll in the state, and with miles of paved streets and other city improve ments. And Connordale is the best located and choicest bit of fully-improved and restricted residence property on the market. And La Grande is going to keep on growing and improving, while those who stand idly by and criticize the price of property and belittle the necessity for improvements and lead the calamity chorus will be left at the post as usual. ' These are FACTS straight from the shoulder and every fair-minded progressive resident of La Grande knows .that they are true. If you haven't seen Connordale yet, let us take you down in an automobile and show it to you.

One was an elderly baroness: the other was higher In rank, but quite young. BWh were determined to sit on the right of the skipper Driven to despair, he said. 'I will let the ladies settle the matter ror themselves, and 1 won't go down till . dinner Is half over.' We bad reached the cheese when the unhappy com mander crept warily to his seat Both indies were still standing frigidly be bind his empty chair. He bad to do something, so he gave the younger war rior the seat of honor, while the rn qulshed baroness looked cbal'- :itbt- Qiug ut ti.e enemy. London i.iiio'U. La Grande Development Co.

The Mexican was showing his newly arrived New Vork. guest to a room, and after the usual courtesies he paused on the threshold to say: "By the way, we alwajs turn Susie loose for the night and she will pass through your hall on the way to the top floor, where she catches rats.
