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 drug store, hardware ana 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 is built into the Harney Valley. REMEMBER, Harriman will be the first important point in the great Harney alley to have a railroad. UTAH-OREGON LAND COMPANY C H. MOREHOUSE, Pres. Salt Lake City, Utah. H. M. HORTON, Sec.
