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.

LET THE COUNTIES DECIDE.
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. Conn
ty division la a thing to be settled by
the people concerned, and not by the
state at taiKw" ' V
"It will be 'ZV for all but about nine
of those 82 Initiative measures to be
voted on" si th November e'tution'1
