STORY OF A BOOST.
How One Homeseeker Was Won for
Oregon.

The La Grande Observer tells the
following story of one substantial
homeseeker for Union county.
Everybody knows Jay Brooks. and
when Jay Brooks says anything,
everybody believes it, consequently
when Mr.. Brooks says that a little
boost of the Grand Ronde valleys
fertilities brought him here to ulti-
mately accumulate a fortune, It bears
some weight and discredits the state
ment that boosting is idle pastime.
While Jay Brooks is now a resi-
dent of Santa Rosa. Cal, he is never
theless visiting his old-time friends in
La Grande and yesterday morning
visited the Exhibit hall. When asked
what he thought of the movement
which Grande Ronde valley is taking
he replied with more than customary
convictions: "What do think of t?''
He looked at the speaker for a mo-
ment and then continued confiden-
| TALLY:
EARLY in the eighties I passed
through the valley by train. At Union
a fellow got on the train and In the
railroad acquaintance which follow
ed, he appointed himself a commit
tee of one to tell me of the VALLEY
through which we were riding. He
got off at La Grande, leaving me &c
mentally devour what he had said
"On reaching Pendleton wa,
firmly convinced that IL what my mo.
mentary companion said was true
then the Grand Ronde valley was tn,
place for me. On the next train | re-
turned to La Grande. and agar
found my stranger friend. He exhib
tied specimens of wheat and took m,
out to his ranch. Jim Hawley, 70
that was the mans name, had tol,
me the truth. The rest is easy.
bought land and city property an,
you know the rest"
Had Mr.. Hawley picked up a pape
on that trip from Union rather thai
attack" a stranger In boosting wa
La Grande and the Grande Rond
valley would not today boast of ia,
Brooks as one of its financiers an
respected promoters. Advertise an

alf-dozen baby ponies, some of
them barely able to walk, and groups
of trained pigs, sheep and geese. Sew
eral acrobatic features have also been
added to the Gentry shows playing to
big audiences which continually voice
their approval, verdict which is,ren-
dered in full measure by the press.
Fine Parade Tomorrow.
Like all complete and well regu-
lated tented shows, the Gentry
Brothers make much of their mile
long parade In which the miniature
horses, miniature cages, miniature
chariots and the dogs of all sizes and
degrees will traverse the principal
streets in what has frequently been
pronounced the prettiest circus pa
rade ever produced.
The shows will arrive on their spe-
cial train from Walla Walla early to-
morrow morning and the parade will
leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock
Owing to the waning of the circus
season the Gentry shows will un-
doubtedly be the last seen in this vi
cinity this summer.

IMMENSE PROFITS FROM LAND
Fruit Land In Yakima Yields From
$500 to $1,000 Per Acre.

The Yakima Republic says of the
enormous profits from fruit land in
! that section, and which may be re-
| peated in Umatilla county under prop
er cultivation:
| 1t is doubtful If any agricultural dis
| trict in the world can show such enor-
nous profits from the cultivation of
land as this one. It may be true that
profits of $4,000 or even $4,000 per
acre. reported this year, are unusual
| in the Yakima country, but last year
they reached over $1,000 in well au-
thenticated cases, and for many years
past intelligent and careful fruitmen
have made 5000 to 800 an acre. and
farmers have made off of other crops,
| regularly year in and year out, $50
to 5000 to the acre.
| The fruit industry is apparently
destined to be the best we have, Up
to this year 1t has been in its infancy,
but experience shows that 1t is enor-
mously profitable and with our un-
equaled advantage in the way of mar
kets there is every reason to believe
1t viii clontinue to grow and prosper,
| We have already shipped out 700
cars of fruit this season. Probably
1900 cars are yet to go, as the apple
crop is not harvested. That Is doing
business on a large scale, and Will
ffave a tendency to make the growers
profits larger and more certain each
year.
Next season there may be no profits
OF as much as $4,000 an acre even, but
we can be reasonably sure that there
will be hundreds OF orchardists who
will make $500 to $500 an acre clear
Of all expenses. What other country
Is there whose people have any rea-
son to anticipate such profits as a
steady thing?

Henry Clews, the dean of Ameri-
can financial writer's, gives out re-
assuring note in his last letter on tne
financial situation of the country. he
says.
outside interest in the stock mar
ket has shown further Improvement
this week. Expectations of a favor-
able result at next Tuesdays sale Oh
100000, 900 4Is per cent corporate
stock and bonds of the city OF New
York have been largely responsible
for this condition; while more
cheerful feeling in regard TO the
money situation-time money at any
rate-seems to have modified recent
fears of excessive stringency.
1t is quite true that Secretary Cor
telyou's action in depositing public
funds in the banks of the country be-
fore conditions became actively acute
has had a reassuring effect; but 1t Is
still more than probable that the
money situation will continue an I'M
portant adverse influence In the mar
ket for a considerable time, extending
at least over the turn of the year. We
are now on the threshold of the an
nual movement of funds to the agri-
cultural sections to finance the crops,
a fact emphasized by the firmer
tendency Of call money.
These call funds have been avail
able for shipment for some little time,
the banks refusing to commit them
for fixed periods, well knowing that
the demand must come as soon as the
crops were ready Call money rates
have been almost nominal for some
time under these circumstances, but
are now showing a firmer tendency,
and the Withdrawals for shipment to
the interior may be, under ordinary
circumstances, depended upon to
force Interest rates up to at least the
same basis as time money.
Banks on Alert.
Banking interests are fully alive to
the money outlook and are enforcing
conservatism in channels where such
action is necessary. This means
continued check to business of a high
ly speculative character, and to
measurable degree is a protection
against an eventual widespread busi-
ness embarrassment.
On the other hand, the favorable
agricultural outlook is a decided in
fiuence against extreme depression
and the market for the immediate fu-
ture is apt to be one of wide and ac-
