When you can have Some Real Values . One of the best farms in the center of the val ley, nothing adjoining can be purchased for less than $100 per acre and very little , at that figure. Good improvements. Here is a chance where money talks and unless you can command at least $10,000 in cash there is not much use of considering this. : I have a good farm just north of Elgin that owner will consider city property. , ' I have a La Grande residence that owner will consider an exchange for Idaho property, prefer something near Boise. I have a 160 acres of land near Summerville that owner will exchange for La Grande property. I have Portland property to exchange for La Grande property . f During the last few days I have had listed three extraordinary values in La Grande residence property, he prices are very attractive and if you ever considered owning your home you should call and permit me to present these to you.
