110IRAK A FT i: It "THAT 1'OSSIM."
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.
"Those who purchased were pleas
ed and are still pleased, rje developed j
another large tract and sold it. The,

apples to attract the commission men
who contract in train load lots. 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.
Fiank Bridge?, a nan who h :s
traveled ithnuiB'h'.utt the country. h:ts
seen every iruit district in America
and knows land values very w, 11. h.is,

some time sine, he little rxpe-u-1 to
follow lit for It was out of his I nc.
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. L. & P. power
line passes the land, the railroad is
within a half mile and the new elec
tric line survey is but a short dis
tance away. Sir. Bridges has laid
the land off in attractive plots, run
ning private roads fVoreh e.-ch way
wfiich will give every c:ie v, j0 settles
there a roail frontage.
The Delicious appla, which he has
planted, carries one of the strongest
recommendations for growth in this ,
climate of any of the varieties. This
year J. B. Weaver of I'nion, a grow
er of Delicious apples, is selling ex
tra fancy, at $2.50 a box. Several
trees are bearing here and the fruit
commands the top prices.
In this Bridges SO acres there are
wonderful possibilities both for the
