There are natural conditions and surroundings that make certain properties good investments. Take the Hay den estate. Of the 2500 acres in that property, all for sale for $65 to $100 per acre, and ready to be cut into farms to suit pur chaser. All in fruit and dairy land except part of the donation land claim on top of the Polk county hills, which lies on the west slope of the Eola hills, and ia fit only for pasture. But that tract can be cut up into four or five good farms, each with some timber and pasture land. The bottom lands between Salem and Independence lie alongside of the Horst hop plantations, prob ably the largest single hop yard in the world, and the Ephriam Young hop ranch,, lands that cannot be bought for less than $250 per acre. The Hayden lands are part cleared on the river bottom, and largely in timber, which is very valuable alongside of a hop yard. The bottom lands have a large per centage of peach lands. Buying at First Hands. There is great secret in buy ing lands in getting them at first hands, before the profits of sev eral middlemen have been add ed. Every time land changes hands in this Willamette valley there is an addition to its value. The Hayden lands are in the hands of the original holders, and will be sold direct to persons wanting to make homes on them. The moment you buy a slice of these lands they advance in value as far as you are con cerned. If you plant them in fruit trees or put a building on them you advance the value of every acre. The same thing takes place every time anyone else buys. There are buyers now se lecting 125 acres of these lands, and they have the first choice, and, as these lands are now be ing advertised direct to the home-seekers in the East, and will be sold direct to original purchasers by the owners, there ia no chance for fictitious values. Good Prune Investment. I have for sale one of the best 20-acre prune tracts trees 17 years old, part of the original plantations made through the efforts of the Oregon Land Co., and that will bear a crop this year netting the owner from $1200 to $1400, until about July 1st. There are no buildings on the land, but just the prune or chard, and $2500 cash will take this property time on the bal ance at low interest. The price of this prune orchard is $300 per acre, and, counting $400 for interest and taxes, there will be from $8.00 to $1000 net return to the owner. There is no fire insurance to keep up, the crop can be sold green or at the driers in the neighborhood, and it is a nice, clean proposition. Fine House to Rent. I have a fine house in the Mil ler block, South Salem, for rent. It is new and modern, with large rooms on the first oor.'and three bedrooms and bath on second floor. There is a fireplace, large closets, electric lights, water rent on grounds -and in house paid as part of rent, stationary tubs, closets one of the best houses in town $25 a month. E. HOFER. 201 U.

It la an up-to-date play with plenty of heart Interest and exceptionally pretty scenes. Its audiences have never Tailed to go away delighted with their evening's entertainment. One of the big values of this play is a stage tract on the silly and peculi arly American vice of cowardice of other person's opinions of one's style of living and ita intended evil of liv ing beyond one's means. It is a dra matic brief against extravagance and yet every night during the long runs it had In New York and, Chicago there rolled up in front of the thea tres where it played in those cities nearly half a million dollars', worth of automobiles, bringing their own erg to listen to the telling argument for economy.

C. And she made the gen tlemen of the court sit up and take notice, too. It was this lady who or. ganized the famous expedition to Arabia (Punt) V secure the gums and scents to make incense for the temples. This first lady queen, ruler of JU she surveyed, was called Harsheput, and she was either the daughter or the wife of Thothmes I; the records are not clear as to her exact relation to that gentleman. At any rate, on his death she assumed the throne with Thpthmes II, and they ruled jointly for a short time, but fate overtook her companion, and there after she had things her own way. She not only wore a hobble skirt, but trousers, and she changed her name so that it appeared to be a man's, thereby gilvng the learned scientists who dug up the records a few thou sand years latex, something to talk and disagree about. Miss St. DenJs, in her preparation for these dances, studied ancient Egyptian women as thoroughly as the recprds extant permit. "It is al most absurd," says Miss St. Dennis, "to hear women today pity the an cient Egyptian because she lived be fore 'modern thought,' and modern conveniences. Why, most of our tot let articles, dressing table fixtures, and even . household conveniences were handed down to us from those Egyptian women, who wore ornate head-dresses and scant single gar ments. They had horses and car riages' when Egypt thought herself the world. Chairs, beds, couches, cooking utensils, crockery and the most marvelous weaving and em broidery historical research has un earthed all these were among the everyday conveniences of the first 'new' woman. The Egyptian women wore no meaningless qrnaments. Ev erything reeked of Bymbollsm. Her life throbbed with idealisms. She was the equal of man, though she served In his household. She knew how to combine) beauty and politics.1' Grand opera house, Tuesday, May 9. Prices, $2.00, $1.50, $1.00, 75, 50c.
