Here Is common announcement
In Iowa papers;

Here Is common announcement
in Iowa papers:
Mr.. Geo. w. Mitchell announces
in the republican papers of Hardin
county that, having been recom-
mended by the executive committee
of the Farmers' Alliance Of that
county for representative, he is "A
candidate for that office, subject TO
the decision of the republican pri-
mary election.
It is not by running n third party
in Iowa that alliance legislation has
been secured there. 1t is by the
above method uniformly pursued by
the Farmers Alliance in Iowa with
both parties.
The Oregonian, that bates Iowa
railroad legislation as the Devil Is
supposed to dislike holy water, is al
ways picturing the lack of enter
prise of that state. Oregonians
would find Iowa quite different from
the Portland papers assertions.
In his New York speech Congress
man Dolliver paid an eloquent tri
butte to the enterprise of Iowa cities,
Des Moines at the head Of them all.
This is what he said:
In the chief city of Iowa the peo.
pie gave $4,000 to hire man t.
build cotton mill. [Cheers. Iu
an enterprising town in my Owu
district the people, in spite of theh
politics and regardless of the fact
that the kingdom of Saxony is the
cheapest place on earth to knit
goods, raised $40, 900 to put in knit
ting factory. tApplause. At For
est City, Iowa, in my district, every
year the harvest is celebrated in
splendid palace of flax which dis
plays at once the taste of the com
munity and their anxiety to welcome
the linen industry to the West
[ Applause. There is noC village
in the state without its board of
trade, with Its brass band, [laughter]
a carriage and cash donation for
any well-dressed man who will un-
deItake to locate any kind of an
industrial enterprise. Applause.

cally inside property. A glance at

nized the tact that the location was
enc which must, in the near future,

GUS and beautiful portion of Salem.
Look at the character of the soil
md the property.
Consider its central location to
schools, its accessibility by virtue of
he electric street car line, contem-
plate the future development of the

We arrived at? Verify it requires no
prophet to fully establish the fact
hat this property must and will
double in value in an incredibly
short time, and the investor who
buys now Will reap the benefit.
Stop paying rent. Get home.

when you can buy at the prices and
terms this property is offered at.
The man who owns his home is

you save in rent will secure you
home in Rosedale addition, where
you can have an electric street car
every twenty minutes to the city.
