Black Before the Members of the Real Estate Board Recently. All Rescued When Ship Grounds Mr. 1'reHldrnt and fellow waiters: Tho Importune) of the develop ment of our wutt'r sources In tin; pacific northwest Is very Impor tant to every ri'Ul entulo nmn op erating In this pari of tho coun try. l'or Instance, tho develop ment of the Columbia basin proj ect which will bring" Into produc tion 1,760,000 acres or urld land sho'ild be realised. This Is hv many consldmyd a national en terprise, us much so as tho I'u:. uina canal. Kor In its construc tion alone It will develop u home market, practically onual to the value of our exports to u con siderable portion to South Amer ica. One can perhaps conceive tho untold possibilities or tho Co lumbia basin project in the fur ther development of your cities when he puuses to realize the development that has already been accomplished in the famous 18 Acres FOR SUE Well Improved, In ulTalfa, bedt of soil; near Island City on high way. This property Is part of un estate that must bo settled ul once, und wo will sell it at n bargain price und on Rood terms. It will make a fine home or & Kood investment. Come In and let us tell you ull about it. PYRAMID LAND CO. Main 705 F. N. Ford, C, L. Berry, W. II. Berry Bonded Ileal tars Yakima and Cache valley In I'tuli. In the slato of Washing ton with an urea of over 42, OOU.Ouu acres there remains to be developed at least 3,000,000 acres of arid land, 3,000,000 ucn-s of cut-over lunds und 500,000 acres of swamp lunils. In other words there are approximately G.SUO.OOO yet to bo developed. In the Btate of Oregon with ap proximate land area of somo 61, otuj.MOO acres, consisting of some 23,000,000 ucres of, agricultural land, only about 13,00o,0oo ucres are now in farms and only aboU 4,Joo.uo ucres are improved. In addition to the millions of ucr.s yet to be Irrigated, there are nearly a.ooo.ooo ucres of produc tion of which can be doubled by drainage and approximately soo. ooo acres of stump land also can be made suitable for ugrlculture. .While Idaho with an approxi mate land area of r3,lioo,ooo acres has only About 8,000,000 acres in farms, of which about 4, 500.000 are improved. With practically all of this land privately owned, consider the opportunity of the real estate man in this section. In the process of development this land will of necessity pifss through tho real estate man's hands once, perhaps several times. The real estate men of- the northwest should play uir Impor tant part In the furtheruncu of Uie Columbia basin project and the development of all reclaimed land. In addition to the, necessarily high development cost of these claimed la,nds, it Is obvious to one studying the situation, the. land will not carry a high or. any sneculative rost. nml f nnsrion- j ttous realtors will surely see the necessity for eliminating specula tions from agricultural ' lands dm Ing the development period. I find here as in very other part of tho Lnited 6tates thero ar grave problems which must be mot, and I am sure the prevalent thought In the minds of this aud ience is: what is the foremost anil most vital thing necessary to THERE WAS Another Election This election was held by the Housewives of Union County who unanimously voted that Federation Flour IS THE BEST FLOUR EVER SOLD IN THE COUNTY Every Up-lo-Dale Grocer Carries It.

Perhaps the second sketch in th'.s advertisement might seem overdrawn but op- erntni-fl nf nnn nf mir radio sets have heard stations as far away as Ha vana, Cuba. The llcacock Radiophone is as near perfection aa Uiey -can bo niada at the present time O. SI. llcacock, who has over 15 years experimental ex perience, personally supervises their construction and many features that make it so perfect, are his own design. You must hear one to appreciate its value. Call us for a demonstration today. We also handle other standard makes of radio. Prices range from $30 to $300.

This is so. notwithstanding that.it is a holiday. , On this day more than on any Sunday, most of the cooking in the homes is done in these two hours. The meals are more elaborate and the national roast of turkey or other fowl is the rule. t And yet when the oven switches of the, many electric ranges on our system go on, there is no' shortage of electric heat, for instantly the turbines pick up the added load and deliver quick, clean and perfectly controlled heat to; hundreds of hoines. An electrically roasted turkey excels in flavor. by bi'cominK more thickly popu lated, our climate would become warmer by reason of the firM, smoke, etc. Our lives would be of more servicu towards each other, a kindlier feeling1 would naturally prevail. Thus, by broth er realtors, I leave with you this vision, und trust that we an u body of orKunlzed men will form this moment, make it our busi ness us well as duty and pleasure, to lend our efforts to the accomp lishment . of this most worthy cause, to bring Irrigation to this valley by getting tho farmers and b urinous men of this city and other -towns of the valley inter ested with us. I thank you. Egyptians of Tut's Time Beer Drinkers the speedy adjustment of present conditions. To my mind one of tho most important subjects con fronting this suction is diversified farming. t Over stimulation of acreage dur ing the period of high prices, over extension of crod It, specula tion In lund und extruvuganco In public und private expendi tures followed by a relative sud den collapse of prlci 8 ' und mar kets, created u situation in 1920 from which It has been Impossi ble entirely to emerge.
