TAKING ON NEW LIFE
TOWN OF IJiXnUTON IS ON TIIK
iriovi?.
Surrounded by a Rich .Agricultural
District A I'rospcrout

Lexington, Oct. 26.
In keeping in touch with the rapid in
crease in agricultural development and
the steady and solid growth of Morrow
c.unty, the little city of Lexingto is
taking on new life after a long siege of
quietude.
Lexington is beautifully located in a
rich Valley of Willow creek. Being on
the line of the Heppner branch of the
O.K. .t N., the town has railroad con
nection with the outside world.
Lexington has many beautiful homes,
with shade and fruit trees and other
pleasant surroundings. The town is
looking up. Improvements are going
on. Buildings are being painted, giving
the little city a thrifty appearance.
Like lone ani other wheat centers,
this is the busy season. The roads
leading to Lexington are lined with
teams loaded with wheat, and where the
products of the farm are marketed, the
farmers are sure to do more or less trad
ing. I visited the Pecland warehouse
is charge of W. P. McMillan. This is
one of the largest grain warehouses in
the county, and in taking care of the
big wheat crop is doing a "land office"
business. Mr. McMillan is a thorough
warehouseman and is geting his full
share of the wheat business.
Lexington will this season have 160,
000 bushels of wheat for export The
town is surrounded by a rich country.
Like the Eight Mile and other wheat
district", Hp to within a few years ago,
this land had little or no value. It was
considered worthless for anything but
range land, but with proper cultivation,
,it has proven' to be very productive.
I talked with Geo. Turner, one of the
progressive larmers of the Lexington
district. A few years ago Mr. Turner
bought land for $2 an acre. It is now

valued at 810 an acre and it is worth
more.
The country contiguous to Lexington
is capable of producing an immense
amount of wheat and other cereals.
All it needs is more farmers, and I
might add, more cultivation.
Several farms have changed hands
in the vicinity of Lexington lately.
People are coming in and they will con
tinue to come in to take advantage of
the cheap lands. Mo better lands are
selling today in other portions of the
state of Oregon for from $15 to $50 an
acre.
In the town of Lexington, Nichols &
Leach have the principal store. This
store would be a credit to any town much
larger than Lexington. They have just
moved into a large building which is
being repainted and fitted up. Tbev
are doing a big business and have a
large and very complete general stock.
A noticeable feature upon entering
Lexington, is the public school building.
Standing prominently upon a slight ele
vation, it is a monument to the enter
prise of the citizens. A neat, roomy
and comfortable building with a good
public school is a good recommendation
for any town. This is one of the at
tractive features of Lexington.
Lexington has two churches, the M.
. church, South, and the Congrega
tional. '
Several new business enterprises will
be launched in Lexington in the near
future. A new grocery store is to be
put in right away. There is talk of a
drug Btore, and a newspaper.
With the sure advancement of Mor
row county, Lexington and surrounding
country will increase in population, for
the natural resources of this district are
as great as in any other portion of the
county.
I predict that some day this will be a
populous district, for it has the country
to back it up. The soil is fertile, easily
worked and ready for the plow. Along
Willow creek and wherever water can
be obtained in the vicinity of Lexing
ton, alfalfa can be grown in great quani
ties. Right in the town surrounding
many of the comfortable homes are fine
fruit trees. I noticed that the apple
trees were hanging full of as fine apples
as I ever saw growing. With proper
attention this would be a good fruit
country.
At one place our friend Attorney S. .
Notson was engaged in picking apples.
He was using a noyel machine to do the
work, and it was entirely of his own in
vention, but out of respect to a promise
the machine will not be described here.
The Lexington district can be recom
mended as a good country, which will
build up the town of Lexington. F. W.
Old People Have Their Troubles.
Mr. Francis Little of BeDton Harbor,
Mich., is over eighty years of age. Since
1865 he bas been troubled more or less
with indigestion and constipation and
bas tried almost everything in use for
those ailments. Last August be began
using Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver
tablets and was soon feeling much bet
ter. In a recent letter be says, "1 have
used three boxes of the Tablets and now
think I am well." These Tablets im
prove the appetite and invigorate the
slomacb, liver and bowels. For sale by

Everything is moving rapidly at
the Amalgamated Sugar Company's
factory at La Grande. About 9000
tons of beets have been received up
to date, of which 7000 tons htve
been ground up. The percentage
of sugar saved is about 13 to 14
per cent a very high average. A
new beet-shed has just been erect
ed to accommodate the increase in
delivery of beets, and will soon be
filled with the loads which are
pouring in from all parts of the
valley.

Ireland's Population Decreasing.
The recent ceneaB, of Ireland shows
a marked deorease in its population
wbioh bas been largely attributed to
the famine throughout the island, caus
ing the death of thousands of people,
and forcing many others to emigrate.
This brings to mind quite forcibly the
absolute necessity of having plenty of
good food if we would prolongue life,
bat after all it is pot a question of the
amount eaten that makes the people
strong and healthy, bnt the way it is
digested. Dyspeptic people cannot en
joy tbeir meals, and consequently al
ways feel depressed, irritable and ner
vous. Tney should try Hostetter's
Stoiusob bitters si once. It is a sped
flo remedy for flatulency, belcbiog, in
digestion, dyspepsia and nervousness,
and is backed by a reoord of fifty years
of cares.
