maw Are you looking ahead, planning for the future, or are you just drifting? No matter how old of how young you are, you are wearing out your strength and your health. You are net a man that will last forever. The day will come to all of us when we have to depend upon something otherV than labor for our living. Which shall it be, a tract of land that will support you and yours, or shall we depend upon our children? The an swer is not hard to find. ' LARGE FARMS ' Are not within reach of all, and not every per son would like a large tract of land with its consequent great responsibilities. Knowing this fact, Messrs. Roe & Calvin, owners of . some of the finest land in the valley, and ad- .joining the city of Enterprise on the west, : have concluded to cut up a part of the farm into small tracts and place it on the market, in , quantities and on terms that gives any one an opportunity to become the owner of profitable ; real estatb. To further aid those who want property that will soon be highly productive the owners.are agreeing to plant the land to apple trees and prune, trim, cultivate and care for them for three years. .' , THESE ORCHARD TRACTS Have been examined by the best horticultu ralists in the state and prcncur.ccd fustclass in every respect. The tracts vary in size from a half acre to 5 or 10 . acres and the price per acre is from $150 to $251 This price in every case pays for the fruit trees, the planting and care of them for three yaars; thus turning over to the purchaser at the end of the time a four-year-old orchard. While you are going ahead making a living during the next three years a," small tract right near the city is growing into a commercial orchard. PICK AN' INCOME From the trees on your own land, without assuming any of the hard work in caring forf and cultivating them while coming into matur ity. Look around you; how many wealthy men are there who do not own more or less real es tate? Find one person who will not admit it is the best investment in the world. Look at your own, experience. How many chances have you had to make good buys and did not have the courage to take them ? . 7.; ,.,-' THE TERMS The easiest you ever saw. Ten per cent down and five per cent per month. A $200 tract will cost you $20 down, and $10 per month until the whole amount is paid.

Division Should be Settled by People Directly Affected, The Kugeno 'Us clstor declares that county divlsttm is a matter that nhould be settled by the people directly con cerned. In reference -o the Issue, that paper says: ' "With over thirty Initiative petitions to be voted on tit the general election thiB fall, the Oregon voter is In "a gqad ileal the mime position as an old Missouri negro who reeenily took the civil service examination for a posi tion as Janitor In one of the capltol buildings. Ho went up loyktnB pretty chesty. He thought that what he did not know about J;inltorlng was of very liU'e importance anyway. When he c:.tue away front taking the examina tion , he was looking so downfallen, that pomoone asked him what had hap pened. 'Happened!' Buld he, 'why, boas,' dey nuked me things dat hap pened To l's ba'n.' " "One of t'te arguments advanced by the county, division promoters Is 'More counties and a greater Ore gon.' They' claim that division of the large counties into smaller ones i of the same value to the state that divis ion cf the large farms Into smaller tracts Is to the community. Possibly, Hut the nucstli n Is had the community at' large t.ny right to say whether I John Jones. who owns a tract of a ! thousand acres. nhall willy-nilly cut It '. up Into tnmill liukl'nx, or does that J right lie with Joint Jones a!one.
