Cheap Wheat Ranches Sherman county farm ers have some wonderful opportunities for safe in- itments in Morrow county wheat land and stock farms. B. M. Shutt, an old resident of Sherman county, and known through out Oregon as a man of reliability, has resigned the office of sheriff of Morrow county in order to establish a real estate office in Heppner He asserts, and offers positive proof, that Morrow county contains the cheapest good farm land and stock ranches to be had anywhere in the west. The same quality of wheat land that is now selling in Sherman and Wasco counties for from $60 to 1100 per acre, and in parts of eastern Washington for from $75 to $150 per acre, can now be had in Morrow coun ty for from $30 to $50 per acre- sim ply because it has not been boosted nor as intensively farmed as yet. These cheap Morroiv county farms are the best and safest investment to be had today, and Mr. Shutt invites his old neighbors over here to call and see him at Heppner, or write to him for full particulars. He guar antees a square deal and no deception to all who intrust their business to him, and he will help those who pur chase this land as an investment only, to find reliable renters. One or two good crops will pay for the land at present prices.
