CHANCE
TO MAKE
MONEY

Good farms at low price are be-
coming scarce in the Willamette val
ley, but by watching the market
there are still chances to pick up
fine lands for a reasonable figure.
There is a farm of 140 acres one
mile from Sublimity, Marion county.
Oregon, and the best land that is for
sale at an astonishing low rice for
60 days. Twothirds of this 140-
acre farm is level land, one-third is
rolling 1t is entirely fenced, most.
ly with woven wire fence, and there
are between 80 and 90 acres under
cultivation. There is some small
timber on the place suitable for
cord wood for home use. 1t is wa
tered by a running stream, one we'll
and two springs. There is a fine
family orchard 12 years of age in
good condition. There is a one and
a half story house with seven rooms,
two barns, one 36x41 and one 36x36,
four chicken. houses, one hog house,
root house, and two cellars. There
is a good school one mile away and
it is one mile to the railroad. The
farm is on a macadam road.
The farm is now in crop and the
crop goes with the farm until har-
vested. The price is only $65 PEI
acre, including the crops. The own
er has the best of reasons for making
this sacrifice. This farm will be on
the market at this price for short
time only.
