little boy stepped from behind a ca

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.
Watch this space for subsequent information.
