No town along the line of the
O. It. & N. has brighter future
prospects than Echo.
Located as it is in the very
heart of one of the choicest agri
cultural districts of the West
which is being rapidly developed
and brought into cultivation by
means of irrigation; the feeding
and shipping point for thousands
of head of livestock annually,
and fast becoming recognized as
a natural distributing and supply
point for a rich interior section
of country, Echo is steadily and
permanently forging to the front
and assuming metropolitan airs.
Real estate transactions in
both city and farm properties is
quite active and many improve

town. Many new residences
and business buildings are con
templated and at the present
writing several are under course
of construction.
Investments in Echo realty is
sure to bring good returns, and
through the steady and perma
nent advance in values will pile
up the golden dollars while you
sleep.
Echo merchants are doing a
thriving business and everybody
generally in this section is pros
perous, as is the case in all irri
gated sections, where the farmer
does not have to depend upon
rain for moisture, and knows to
a certainty and full knowledge
that when he seeds his ground
he will harvest a crop, and can
almost estimate beforehand to
the bushel or ton what the crop
will yield per acre.
Under the present irrigation
systems at Echo there is about
15,000 acru of land under culti
vation, which annually produces
from 7 to 10 tons of choice alfalfa
hay to the acre in three cuttings.
Wheat, oats, barley, rye, etc.,
fruits and berries of all kinds
and varieties have a prolific

and bring into cultivation thous
ands of acres more of choice
sage brush land which, when re- (
claimed will produce and blossom
as the rose, and which will all
be tributary to Echo, and annu
ally pour into the channels of
trade of this city an enormous
wealth in products and golden
dollars.

the land of choice fruits and ber
ries; the land of luscious water

melot s, fit to tickle the palate
of a king with their delicious
flavor; the land of beautiful
flowers and gardens; the land of
sunshine, health, happiness and
contentment: truly Echo is the
mecca for the homeseeker and
the home builder from the over
crowded districts' of the east.
Here he will find plenty of pure
fresh air, a balmy atmosphere,
and a climate that for health and
loveliness cannot be surpassed

business opportuities; in fact all
the conditions are to be found in

about the adequate and highly
profitable remuneration of labor,
happiness, contentment, and of
life, worth the living.

Quite a Delegation Went Down From
Echo and Were Well Entertained
By the Umatilla Boys There

The Echo Reds crossed bats
on the diamond with the Uma
tilla nine Sunday last at the
latter town.
A delegation of about twenty
people from Echo went down to
Umatilla on the train Sunday
morning to witness the game,
and they all report having had
a good time, and that the Uma
tilla boys certainly know how to
entertain and make a fellow feel
at home
There was no wrangling on
either side, and both teams
gallantly played the part of
gentlemen all through the con
test. The game was well attended
and was promptly called at
12:45 P. M. and closed at 2:10,
lasting just one hour and twenty-five
minutes.
It was an exciting and inter
esting game from start to finish
and at the close the score stoow
10 to 7 in favor of Echo.
To encourage the Echo boys
to play ball E. II. Drown, of the
Echo Register, took along ten
Havana cigars and promised a
cigar every time a tally was
made by the Echo boys. The
cigars and tallies broke even
10 each. If Brown's cigars had
held out it is likely the Echo
Reds vould still be scoring
tallies.

two teams:
