Lower FoothiU Yield Is Surprise. 1
Milton, Ore., Aug. 15. 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.

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.

ed too late 'for publication yesterday.

Lane ' will arrive in Portland next
Monday, August 18. It is possible he
will remain in the metropolis long
enough to be entertained at a lunch

Springs via Pendleton but it is doubt
ful if he will stop anywhere. It is
announced he will not vis'it at Klamath
and may not visit the West Umatilla
project
