CITY PROPERTY.
La Grande is some town, a real live one; a purchaser can al
ways let go if he desires a change. . This is demonstrated
every day. I have sold 14 homes since July 1st, and have
several customes who are just waiting to find something
that just exactly suits them. -
I have several homes in South La Grande that are close to
Fourth street that has just been paved and will Increase
values in that section of the city. South La Grande is one
of the most pleasant residence sections of our city in which
- to live. Prices are very low compared to what they will be
two years hence Remember this last statement.
VERY EASY TERMS.
I have property in every section of the city that I can offer as
low at $100 down and small monthly payments on the bal ance.
There are many who are paying $25 and more each
month for rent that should investigate my listings. ,

.. at Warehouses.
Fifty thousand bushels of wheat
have been sold' during the past few
days to warehouses at Imbler, Con-
ley's Spur and Union and small quan
titiies at Island City. This is a strong
commencement of sales for the year a
crop but was largely brought about
because of the rains that made thresh
ing impossible for a few days and the
growers started to haul. ' During the
selling period the supply on hand was
exhausted because the machines were
temporarily idle and then commenced
the threshing again.
. Good Prices PrevaiL
Wheat opened just about as was
predicted in the Observer several
weeks ago. Sixty-five to 66c is the
price paid by the Kiddles of Island
City for club, 66 to 67c for Forty Fold
and Bluestem brings from 69 to 70c.
These prices cover slight fluctuations
daily and all sales made thus far have
come within range of these figures. ,

Portland. The spring fry supply now
keeps up fairly well here at prices
that are not far off from the quota
tions of 10 days ago. ,
In the cattle division traffic at the
Portland yards yesterday was confin
ed to small lots, of poor to medium
;a grade steers and bulls. Dealers held
that the prices paid did not necessar
. ily indicate any weakening in the mar
ket and expressed the belief that the
steers like those moved at f 8.85 yes
terday, had threre been any in sight,
could have "been disposed of at that
flfirfe. . Quality beef material now U
the exception rather than the rule.'
'. This condition obtains more or Jess
also in the mutton section. ,
One lot of 45 hogs carried over from
the day before , and. grading consider
aby short of primechanged hands at

dealers obtained $8.75; to $8.85 and
there was nothing in yeuterday's Port
