The Oregon Valley. Land company,
which now owns.ancr Is selling the
grant lands in southern Oregon, held a
similar land opening last August in the
Sen Luis valley, Colorado, where 7,000
farms and the same number of lots
were dlxtrlbuted. Technically it was
an auction, as every contract-holder bid

amqunt of his contract price. There
were only 22 exceptions In the 7,000
farms auctioned. The exceptions were
cases where tracts contained large and
valuable Improvements, or where there
was some special reaxon for bidding a
premium. The premiums so bid were
placed In a fund " the trustees and
divided around equally as a cash divi
dend among all the contract-holders.
A good many Portland men and oth
ers are taking advantage of the oppor
tunity to thus annex a small property

and add it to their personal possessions.
There Is a fairly good general knowl
edge in western Oregon of the fact
that the old wagon road builders went
miles out ot their way to run the
road through the best agricultural val
leys and grazing sections of southern
Lake and Harney counties, as the road
company took its pay in lands along
each side of the highway. Had they
laid out the road by a direct route
straight across Oregon they would have
followed closely the survey of the new
main line of the Oregon Eastern from
tne jdaineur river to .Eugene.

Nor loud, nor soft nor mounting hlrher.
Nor dying low, "hut like a lyre.
