IS PROSPEROUS
LOCAL INVESTORS GET HAND
SOME DIVIDENDS.
Alex Nibley Here la Interest of Big
, , Portland Concern.
Alex Nibley, formerly a resident of
Ia Grande, now associated with the
Fred A. Jacobs company of Portland,
the largest realty operators on the
Pacific Coast, is in the city for a
tews days, stopping at the Sommer ho
tel. Mr. Nibley is salesmanager of
She Metropolitan Investment & Im
provement company, which was organ
ized some months ago by Fred A. Ja
gs and associates, among whom are
many well known professional and
susiaess men of Portland and other
Oregon cities. ' .- "
Mr. Nibley is here in the interest of
the Metropolitan company and is in
cidentally calling on old time friends.
When seen at his hotel last night by
n Observer representative, Mr. Nib
ley had many interesting things to
say about the prosperity of Portland
and Oregon in general, predicting that
with the final passage of the Under
wood Tariff bill, Oregon and the
Nwrth Pacific would lead the rest of
the country in general prosperity nd
geodf times. He was especially opti
mistic over the Bplendid success and
Bright future of the big building cor
poration down Portland way with
.wiieh he is connected.
"The Metropolitan Investment &
Improvement company although but
little more than a year old," continued
Mr.' Nibley, "has already assumed a
commanding position in the up-building
and development of the city of
Portland. This company has just
completed one of the largest and fin
est apartment houses in the city. Since
the advent of spring, it has built a
large number of bungalows and resi
dences of the larger type and has
plans on hands now for 25 ad
ditional dwellings, which will be com
pleted within the next few months.
These nouses for the most part, are
sold to home buyers on terms that
make the proposition very attractive
to the man of limited means. In fact,
that is one of the primary objects of
the organization of the Metropolitan
company, that is, the supplying of
dwellings on what we know down in
Portland as the 'easy payment plan.
A little more than a year ago, Mr.
Jacobs realizing that this was a splen
did field for profitable operation, or
ganized the Metropolitan company
with capital stock of $250,000, all of
which was promptly taken in the citv
of Portland. So great was the demand'
jor snares or tne comnany, mat within
a short time, the capital was doubled, j
and $150,000 of the new issue prompt-
y subscribed tor. Already, the com-1
pany has paid three quarterly divi-1
dends of 2 per cent each, and has set
aside 9 percent in three equal in-!
stallments to the reserve fund.
"The officers of the company have
ors in the Grande' Ronde valley. In
the short time that I have been here,
I find that the people in La Grande
and vicinity, are anxious to invest
their sayings, in an institution where ' durance race July 27. So great is the

It has paid since its organization 670 ,

Injured Victim Doing Well.
Reports from the hospital this aft
ernoon are that Miss Florence Baker
and Otto Houser, who were injured
in the automobile accident Monday ev
ening, are in a very satisfactory con
dition, says the Pendleton East Ore
gonian. Their injuries are very pain
ful but are healing. "The auto was
brought back to the city yesterday
under its own power and Manager
Trombley of the Oregon Motor Co..
declares the steering gear was found
to be in good order.
Speeding in automobiles must be
stopped in Pendleton. This is the
edict of the city authorities and they
declare they intend to see that it is
enforced. The fact that a number of
drivers show disregard for the speed
limits and the proper methods of t .
ing corners has led to many com-
plaints and officers hafi determined
to commence a crusade against the of
fenders. Judge Fitz Gerald will sec
ond them in the movement by impos
ing heavy fines.

GERMS IN THE BLOOD.
Why Fever and Chills Alternate When
a Person Has Malaria.
When the germs of malaria real live
animals these, belonging to the order
protozoa enter tbe blood with the sa
liva of tbe biting mosquito tbey In
stantly attack tbe red corpuscles.
Each one eats its way Into a corpuscle
and after a brief rest divides himself
Into sixteen. Wnt is left of the cor
puscle Is now dead. It breaks down,
and the sixteen new germs Plasmodia,
as the doctors call them are set free
In tbe blood. Each of these instantly
seeks out a new red corpuscle, which
It attacks in tbe same way.
This process, iu tbe ordinary malaria,
takes Just forty-eight hours. When
the germs are eating the red corpus
cles tbe temperature of the body is In
creased, causing fever. When the mul
tiplied germs are discharged into tbe
blood tbe whole body feels as if chilled
This causes tbe shivers and shakes
that usually come every alternate day
and that have given us tbe common
name "chills and fever."
So when you have tbe chill you may
know that your broken down red cor
puscles are discharging myriads of
germs Into your blood, and when the
chill gives way to fever you may know
that these germs are busy attacking
your red corpuscles. New York World.
