The old political story about the darkey down south who was willing to be anything to "get dat possum" Is very Applicable to Senator Bourne. A short time ago the (senator was oc cupying a high pedestal surrounding himself with dignity, claiming tiiat the people were on trial and not him; that he was the parent of the direct primary In Oregon; that ho thought when a man who was honestly de feated at a primary he should how to the will of the people. Hut Bourne evidently "does not be lieve what he has been preaching. When he told the people they were on trial, the people took him at his word anil defeated him: when he used to talk direct primary he evidently was not sincere because he has vio lated till advice he Rave. At present the Bourne emissaries are 'being sent out over the state of Oregon in an endeavor to work on personal friends the very thing that Bourne presented to be ahove." After all. It Is anything to get "that Iioeum" wiith the senator. His li'tgn ipolllcal Ideals are a myth and he is pushing the political status of Ore gon down as fast as he an in his en deavor to retain office. ' ' something that, was rood, end helnel able to sell his tracts, at half what other districts were asking he placed on the market a number of acres.

Eet assured the quality of the apples raised here will find a market at a good price. Who buys orchard tracts on the Siuulridge? Doubtful if many La Grande people have an idea of the prominent people from the east whose names appi..:. as owners or part owners In t'.ifuo lands. There are railroad presducir.s ministers of the gospel, bankers and brokers, merchants and wholesalers I.nteresled In tU's section. And I hey all got In on t'e same pri.e N."i mi acre for that Is the one price dis trict. Local people pay it. Colo: u..) j people pay it and New York people pay it. But they pay it glar'.ly n'trr looking over other orchard sei tio'i-. and after they acquire orchard land in the Imhler-AlUel distrkt iVy hold it. One of the best reconjmer.dal'nn for this section is the class of !oe:i who are cngagod in the commercial orchard business.

But he saw the possibilities; exper ienced the satisfaction of developing meat was so great that as soon as this tract was sold he bought one of! the finest pieces of land In the whole valley and. has planted It to the cele brated "Delicious" apple Interspersed with Whiter Banana and Rome Beauty. Between the trees he has alfalfa growing and It presents a beautiful appearance. The land lies one and a half miles from Alicel near the splendid or chard developed by the La Grande Investment company. It Is one halt mile from the school. The trees are now two years old and they show an of unusual growth and liealthy ap pearance. Water Is to he hil at a depth of but a few feet and the soil Is moist the ' -year round. The E. O.
