HARRIMAN
Townsite Now Open
Situated near the Malheur Lake, on a high, fine gentle
sloping tract of land. This site offers exceptional
opportunity for making a good city. Vast areas of ara
ble territory spread out in all directions. Every valley
and streamlet of the distant mountains has its ranches
and flourishing livestock. . Considerable land in the
valley is still subject to homestead entry, and with the
advent of the
Oregon-Eastern Railway
Now building toward Harney Valley, this grand new
empire will teem with land seekers and people seeking
business opportunities and professional locations.
GET IN EARLY
Good opening for a newspaper, blacksmith shop, hotel drugstore, hardware
and implement nouses, as well as other lines of business.
A limited number of lots are now offered for sale at remarkably low prices
either for cash or on easy terms, which prices will advance when the railroad
ia built into the Harney Valley.
REMEMBER, Harriman will be the first important point in the great Harney
Valley to have a railroad.

"A groat industrial, agricul

to he useful. The work started
lust year was state wide and
proved a great success. Oregon
was talked ahout from the I'aci

are planning on more and hetter
work this year. Shall the hoys
and girls of Malheur county not
he in this contest to show ami
prove that they can do this
work' 1 have not visited u
school anywhere that shows u
larger percentage of children
who have gardens of their own
The superintendent ami tenchcis
in the Ontario schools are alive
to the value of this praelnal
work. The rooms in all tie
grades show the hands have heeii
busy.
If Ontario and Malheur MMUV
ly would make a display " the
state lair, of the Inn- and girll'
product, it would attract the at
tention which this section of
Oregon is trying to get. If the
commercial dubs of Ontario ami

money for prizes, and in fitting
business men to contribute from
