fashion with La Grande people to
spend Sunday nt Hot Lake sana

tion to the rule as quite a crowd came
over on Number six, many of whom
stayed over until Monday. Sunday
afternoon a pleasing impromptu con
cert was given. Mrs. Pat Foley de

group of Irish songs. George M.

with a number of popular and classi

the story. Jould you asK lor more

Mrs. M. E. Nibler, 210G Third St.,

crippled up with pain in my back and
right side. I found it difficult to do
my housework and was suffering a
good deal of misery. Two boxes of
Doan's Kidney Pills removed the
aches and pains and of late, I have

Keep Your Eye
On Palmer Lands
The last five sales have beea from residents who reside
away from Graade Rorkle valley.
It apparently is the same old story: Home people as
a rule donot realize the opportunities that are here.
The first settlers of this valley did not appreciate the
value of that large fertile taact we now call the Sandridge.
It was the very last land in the valley to be eccupied.
A few years from now not a few of those who read these
lines will state: "I did not know that Palmer valley would
ever be the prosperous country it is."
It will be too late then. The opportunity is aow. No
experiment. Mahy families have already dwnoilstrated
the productiveness of the soil. You kaow the looatioa, near
railroad, near Elgin, adjoining a forest reserve, whioh means
