La Grande Seeking
Actual Developers
They Want Men Who Will Clear Tim
bered Lands and Engage in Gull
tivating Crops.

LA GRANGE, Ore, June 22.-(Special.)-
What La Grande has been striving for
during the last few years is at last coming
to pass. the proposition of attracting actual
developers, men who will put their Shout
ders to the wheel, take the stump-covered
lands and make them productive by clear
ing and cultivatinS. Much money has been
spent advertising the great opportunities
for anyone to possess himself OF these
lands at a very low figure, which after
being cleared will stand its owner at a
less figure than the already cleared land,
besides having the additional advantage of
almost profuse subirrisation, as most
stump lands lay along the foot of the hills.
where the water from the pine-covered
continues the entire summer to
rise to the growing crops, which advertis-
ing is now bringing results, as much clear
ing is in operation at an expense OF from
so to $25 per acre. The latest sale made
to q developer was consummated yesterday,
when w. C. Carson OF Poluse country in
purchased $50 acres of stump
a large gasoline engine with large stump
pulling drum and will commence the task
of clearing his new holdings. which he ex-
poets to set to apples and alfalfa.

Concerning the exhibit proposition, w. H.
Marvin OF the Commercial club says:
I'VE all feel the necessity of a more
vigorous and concerted plan of action in
reaching out to get the people of the more
crowded districts Of the east. And with
the wealth OF natural resources that is so
abundantly possessed by the Willamette
valley we feel our mission Is in no man
ner a purely selfish one. and while it is
not strictly a humanitarian one, there
can be a judicious mixture Of the two that
will rebound to the welfare and benefit
of both ourselves and the people who may
be induced to come out here and locate.
According to our present understanding
we believe that we can probably secure
a maximum amount of the proper adver
Using by making an exhibit at the Land
show next fall. Therefore we are striv-
ing to shape our part of this work to that
end"

DEVELOPING NEW TERRITORY
Herbert Gilkey Writes Interesting
Letter from Montana.
SETTLER FOLLOWING RANCHER
Land in That Country IL Some of the
Finest In the West and Some
Excellent Crops Are Being
Produced.
BY HERBERT GILKEY.

VIRGELLE, Mont, June 22.-This little
place is in north central Montana on tie
Great Northern railroad on the line run
ming from Havre to Great Falls and lies
in the valley Of the Missouri river. Here
you may find many opportunities, the fin
est of agricultural land lying on both sides
OF the river. The land seeker will do well
TO investigate this LEGALITY. This is the big
grass country OF the Teton basin" The
nutritious grasses OF its bench lands and
an abundance Of water in the Missouri and
its numerous tributary creeks makes it
an ideal stock country.
But the rancher is giving away to the
new settler and the pillow. Here you VII
find the finest pillow land in Montana,
reaching from Virgelle south to the High
Wood mountains, a space of thirty-eight
by twenty miles. This big bend country
has been isolated some time owing to the
great distance to Fort Benton. a market
On the Missouri. But now we have a ferry
boat in operation at Virgelle and a fine
road to and from this new town. An up
to-date grocery. general store lumber yard
hay and grain market, making It an ideal
place for the new settler to do his trading
without making a long. tiresome trip to
other markets. In a very few years We
no doubt will have a steel bridge in at
this place. as 1t is the only feasible loca-
tion for bridge and city in distance OF
fifty miles either up or down the river.
A Great stretch of Soil.
Here you find great stretches OF as fer
tile soil as the sun has ever shown on, and
the intending new settler had better come
quick II he is going TO use his birthright
in this part OF Montana. The winters may
be cold or they may be open. Just as we
have them back in Indiana. the winter
weather here is bracipg and dry. Men
can go along with Their usual work here
all the winter months, being a very healthy
climate. This locality lies in between the
Bear Paw and High Wood mountains. SC
you can see at a glance this will be an
ideal country. Also the new settler must
keep well in mind this country will soon
be invaded by the extension OF the new
Milwaukee and ST. Paul railroad short cut
off now under construction from Milstone
