Of all the nourishing towns and cities in Union county ELGIN is the only one that enjoys the distinguishing fea ture of occupying a beautiful sito in the ccnler of a valley, making it mon arch, absolute, of the situation. ELGIN Is sunounded on the east south and west by tlio greatest wheat grow ing country on the 1'acilic coast and will be connected, direct, with occaj' transportation on Puget sound. ELGIN Is surrounded by foothills of tho Pine mountains that ate covered from base to summit with a dense growth of pine, fir and tamurac timber that can only bo equalled on Puget iound. ELGIN lias Water Power of sufficient capacity to supply unlimited manufacturing, and arrangements are now being made for the erection of extensive grist and saw mills and other manufacturing in dustries. ELGIN Is surrounded by low foothills that have proven to be the best fruit-growing land in Eastern Oregon. Peing entitely free from the sweeping winds that pievuil in other sections', tho snow lies on the ground all winter, a sure guarantee of good wheat and fruit crop. Can bo supplied at nominal cost with pine, sparkling, cold water from l'hillipps creek, for domestic use, irri gation and protection against lire. Possesses every element and facility required to make it the leading me tropolis of two rich counties, and that its growth will be phenomenal as soon as the railroads an; iu rapid progress of construction, is the 'Opinion of all. An Opportunity for Persons of Limit ed Means! The Union Peal Estate and Alining Exchange is offering lots iu their ad ditions at nominal prices ranging from $10 to $."50. Terms, 25 per cent, cash ami $5 per month payments. The price of lots will be raisod 10 per cent, on tho lfith of oach month during the voar. It is tho belief of all who have investi gated that tho value of lots in Elgin will increase from two hundred to ono thousand fold within the present year. The right time to get hold of a few lots in the right place, on tho "ground lloor" prices, is right now. Cointnunicalions by lottor or other wise, will recoivo prompt attention, and selections will bo niado for parlies iu this mannor with special care.
