The bulk of; the harvest for the lower foothills la nearly completed and the combines and threshing outfits are preparing to novo to the higher levels. The yields hare been wonderful and the reports coming in daily give a great increase over last year. W. H. Pope, living two milei west of Freewater, from a little over 200 acres has over 4000 sacks of wheat and barley, the grain being plump and fine in appearance. F. E. Cockburn, east of Milton, has finished harvesting and has a yield of 4550 sacks from 200 acres, being on aver age of nearly 50 bushles to the acre, while on the Charles Cockburn ranch, near by, the yield is equally good. One day With one combine more than 800 sacks were threshed. The Frazier Bros.' outfit has cut in the neighbor hood of 450 acres, much of which was badly lodged and difficult to get at, but the poorest yield was 40 bushels to the acre and the largest 47 bushels. Barley run consistently between 70 and 80 bushels to the acre. TonMnnprt on Pe 4 T 901 nn ni ;Y7 Do Some People Always Get Ahead? FOUR REASONS That Seem to Answer Most Cases. REASON ONE-' Their word is always good. Their note is always paid. Their friends always speak a good, word for them. REASON TWO- They use good judgment and observe things as they really, are REASON THREE - " These people live in La Grande; buy their goods in La Grande. They work in La Grande and invest their savings in La Grande. REASON FOUR . Their investments in La Grande are always under their own con trol and in consequence their returns are always satisfactory. They are not misled by the far away illusions, knowing that La Grande offers greater opportunities for investment than any place in the Northwest. Are You Among' the Wise Ones?

It is announced he will not vis'it at Klamath and may not visit the West Umatilla project Col. Rale, chairman of the local committee named to provide entertain ment for Secretary Lane while here, has issued a call for the committee to meet at his office this evening.
