that a special appropriation -e made

O6e Grand Ronde Valley.

This delightful land for homeseekers is
situated in northeastern oregon on the
east slope OF the Blue Mountains. It Is
oblong in shape IS by 3j miles IN ex-
tent and contains 5000 acres, The FIRST
settlers came in tho early sixties and
found the place one immense tract Of
waving bunch grass, Soon the cattle
man and horseraiser came, and vast
herds were yearly driven to market.
The land is we'll watered by the
Grand Ronde River and numerous trib.
utarles, thousands Of sprngs, and
abundant rainfall. Tho soil Is such
that by a wonderful system Of sub
irrigation, II is kept moist and In fine
condition for crop growing, ANY time
in the summer, though no rain may
have fallen for weeks, one can move an
inch or two Of top earth and find the
soil moist
Flowing Is done every month in the
year. and wheat is sown eleven months
In the year.
Irrigation Is not necessary except for
beets and small fruits. Fields OF hun
dreds Of acres of wheat, yielding fifty
bushels and more per acre, can be seen
frequently. The wheat King" raised
one year two hundred thousand bushels
of grain, and paid $4,000 for burlap
sacks in which to ship It.
The climate Is one Of the healthiest
In the weSt--never extremely cold and
always pleasant and refreshing in the
summer Sunstrokes DO not occur.
The rainfall is about twenty-six
inches yearly and comes principally
during the winter and spring months.
Through harvest time the air Is clear
and crop gathering a delight. SNOW
does not lie on the valley more than
few days az a time, but the highest
peaks are snow-capped TIL

Fruits of many varieties grow TO per-
lection. la Grande winter apples are
