YOUR OPPORTUNITY IS HERE 1 have long bince believed that one of ilie lir.st and most necessary requisites foi the upbuilding of a community is good wholesome water. Now that lleppner pro poses to supply this factor, and having of ten been requested to sell building sites out of my East Side property, I have concluded to put it on the market for sale in lots and blocks, and the pint is now nearing comple tion under the supervision of Mr. S. C. Mar tin, a Civil Engineer of wide experience. The tract is easily accessible, has a fine view ami its subdivision makes it desirable as home sites. One of these days you will want a home in Heppner. Why not buy a lot now when it can be had at a reasonable price, on very easy terms, and in what is surely destined to be a most beautiful resi dential district. If you have never walked up on the hill do so now. You will be surprised at the beauty of the location with a view scarcely anticipated, Mt. Hood being clearly outlin ed in the distance. Candidly, I am surpris ed and much gratified at the easy grades possible- to reach the property, as worked out by Mr. Martin, who is on the ground, and who will be pleased to give any infor mation concerning the plat. Perhaps it is not entirely out of place to say that in platting this property I am as much interested in making it a beautiful home site as I am in the profit that may be realized, but I do not want any one to buy ' unless they feel it will be profitable to do so. Nevertheless, I have no hesitancy in saying that in my opinion, before yon have made your last payment, under the liberal terms 1 propose to offer, tho lots will have greatly enhanced in value.

It is expected that the tank will require his sojourn In Japan for two or three years. While something 1b keewn of para sites of the Japanese beetle a great deal is still to be learned, much ot which can be learned only under field conditions where the beetle lives with all the enemies that prey npon It. The beetle reached this country with importations of greenhouse plants and thus far apparently has been comparatively free from molest tion by natural enemies.
