THE IMBLER-ALICEL FRUIT DISTRICT Whore the (Jrunde Ifc.nde Applrs Grow A Series t Article !." scrlbltijf One of Extern Ore pun's Greatest Kesourreg. ARTICLE JiO. S. The Transformation which has struck the Sandrldge country chang ing hundreds of acres of wheat land Into orchards cannot be appreciated unless one sees It. Where the self binder formerly operated In the fall during the wheat harvest now the an- ple pickers and packers combine their efforts In harvesting a crop of fruit that means hundreds of dollars to one dollar produced by wheat And that transformation Is onlj started. One might truthfully say that fruit growing on the Sandrldge has only fairly begun. The Wilson orchard, which has been mentioned before, Is only one of sever al successful efforts In changing from wheat to fruit. Another extraordinary orchard pro ject Is that of the La Grande Invest ment company near Allcel wherein C. C. Pennlngtotis, wheat ranch was pur chased by William B. Sargent and J. K. Wright, who form the ownership of the La Grande Investment company, and by them, planted to fruit. For years this was one of the best wheat ranches In the Grande Ronde. It made C. C. Pennington wealthy from wheat production. He sold It at an exceptionally high price for wheat land. But what Is it worth today? Really, it Is hard to estimate Its value. When that large tract gets In to full bearing the owners can set their price on it and the value will be there. Some of the tract has been cut up into small-acreage which has been purchased by Investors under contract that the La Grande Investment com pany will care for the orchards for a certain period. . In many instances the Investor did not see the land when he bought It, but many If not all hav been on the land since and it takes but one visit to assure the owner of smaller acreage that he has an In vestment which time will make very profitable. This Is true of several other tracts that have been cut up and put on the market. There Is not a single In stance of dissatisfaction In the Imbler Allcel district. (Now there Is but one reason for this an Ideal fruit country produc ing Ideal .fruit. This being true, let us get at the main reasons for this success. Sub-irrigation is vital to fruit, and the Sandrldge has it. x Elevation Is necessary to raise the apple that will keep the Sandrldge has that. Climatic conditions that Include some rigorous weather are essential for the life of the apple tree and to keep it healthy. This the Sandrldge has. Plenty of sun to color the apple is (Continued on page 6.) Black Again in Polices. NEverett, Wash., Oct. 23. Judge W. W.

Cleaver For Congressman from this District lie believes that true Democracy means that the individual is the government and that the moraliza tion of the individual is the most important reform possible. : . He believes that little progress can be expected morally, ; mentally, physically or politically when the government backs up the -consumption of 25 gal lons of intoxicating liquor by each individual an nually. ; . ' He believes also that the beverage liquor traffic is the biggest moral, financial and political question iKbefore the American citizen today and that it can be settled only by administration. He has been a Republican Prohibit'onist all his life, but he is op posed to the protection tariff and believes that every other honest man is. ne circulated the Roosevelt primary petitions in Eastern Oregon because of hs great faith in the hon esty and ability of Mr. Roosevelt and in hope that the Prohibition clause would get into the Republi can platform this year.. Don't vote for Mr. Cleaver because he is a Metho dist; or because he is a farmer, or because he is a banker, but vote for him because he. will hit the bev erage l'quor traffic" and the protective tariff in the neck at each and every. opportunity. h- rani Si, uflKau W Ml ' iflSl!, W j IIP jf I 0:Sj !.

It is the ONLY RANGE MADE carrying a 25 year wearing guarantee. No j Range makes cooking such a pleasure as does a Peninsular. S Oris REASONS WHY FIZLT It requires no blacking, has polished top, just keep it wiped off with a cloth. SECOND It will heat and bake as quick as gas. AYith a little kindling and a few chunks of coal you will v have a red hot stove before you can get dressed in the morning. . . ' . THIRD It is absolutely airtight, controlled by 'a duplex draft, causing it to consume all'gas as it gener ates, thereby saving one-third the fuel. I OUR OLD RANGE OR STOVE TAKEN IN PART PAYMENT. You will notice that it has a large, square oven, and an extra wide but shallow fire box. The range rests on a cast iron base making it extra strong and durable. One of the greates't features is the height of th e working space, it being 33 1-2 inches from the floor. This enables you to prepare your meals in a comfortable way, and obviates the necessity of bending over a low base range. Study the cut care fully and you will find more desirable and needed features than in any other range at a like price. , 1 Prices Are Right - $35.00 to $85.00 Let me make your home comfortable and cooking a delight.
