TBE MAJORITY RULE PEOPLE William Miller For The Legislature In offering William Miller to the people of Union county as a candidate for the legislature the Prohi bition party is presenting a man of known worth to every citizen. He has always been a Republican in politics is a thorough supporter of Colonel Roosevelt and one of the "original" Roosevelt men of this county. William Miller bears a reputation of clean, honor able living fair business dealing and stands today before the people wthout a single blemish of charac ter.' He is abundantly capalbe of handling all legis lative questions and knows what the people of Ore gon need, especially of the eastern portion of the state. This is a good time to lay aside all prejudice and vote for William Miller for representative. Whether you be Prohibition or not, Whether you be a Democrat, a Republican or a Bull Moose, you all know that with William Miller in the legislature you will have a man who actually represents you and who will not be taken off his feet by .the loud hurrah of any crowd of men who seek legislation for selfish ends. This advertisement compiled and paid for by the Prohibition central committee of Union county. , . ARTICLE 0. S. 1 , After reading what la going ou In the Sautl ridge tommy the question of land prices, actual profits, prices of fruit and other details bei.onie im portant. In Uie first place permit this state ment which will be borne out by proof: Fruit, land prices In ' the Cirande Ronde valley are the lowest In the whole northwest country. When the first platting of commer cial orchards was made there was established the price of $450' an acre for planted land whbch included care of the trees for five years. Strange, as it may eeem this price has never been raised. The reason for, it Is this: Most of those who were the pioneers In the commercial orchard decided the fruit industry could get no better encouragement thau to keep the price of the planted land down. There Is a positive disposi tion and intention to make the Grande Ronde valley a fruit pro ducing valley rather than a wheat producing seotion. This could only follow by attracting the Investor here who wanted the first class or chard proposition and who was hap plly suprised that prices were so low. By mutual agreement' of the owners In the 'Sandrldge district the prlcp of $130 an acre has besn retained, al though understand there are many orchards In that section that could not bo bought for twice that amount. And In several Instances owners will not price their orchard lands. 'Last year the prevailing prices for apples on board cars at Imbler and Allcel were: Newtowns. $1.82; Rome Beautys, $1.23; Gano. $1.20; York Imperial, $1.20. It takes but a few strokes of the arithmetical pencil to show the handsome profit from the orchards under these prices, and a low more strokes will show where a handsome profit will follow at much less prices than those. For bear i'i mind your expensive Irrigation is eliminated on the Si drldge and sev eral other matters fiat cost iuney in other fruit districts are not nec essary here which o into Uk'. fcjiH-r-al profit column. The interest on your Investment 1s cut down by.: half or more, which is ' ro small inm. The simplest problem in the world Is when prpven orchard land is sold for $130 why pay $1200 an acre for it? Thai is the probein you must take with you when you come from Hood River, Rogue' River, or Yakima to the Sandrldge. . . As yet the prevailing price has not been established for this year's crop. : although there are a number" of smaller contracts being made. In California N'ewtowns are bringing this year $1.25 per box In the or chard. At Payette, Idaho, the apple crop la bringing from $1.10 to $1.23 for the entire crop and an average of 41 cars per day are being shipped. You naturally will say "Why has the Sandrldge not such contracts?" And the answer Is the Sandrldge Is a new district, does not possess the ad ( Continued on page 4.) Dr. C. H. Ellsworth, dentist, 16 Baldwin St. Rochester, N. Y., says Foley Kidney Pills gave him Immedi ate relief and strengthened blm won derfully.

If you want to contribute directly to the occurrence of daplllary bron chitis and pneumonia use cough medi cines that contain codlne, morph'.ne, heroin and other sedatives when you have a cough or cold. An expectorant like Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Is what Is needed. That cleans out the culture beds or breeding places for the germs of pneumonia and other germ, diseases.
