Los. Land Regained

Referring TO his recent purchase Of
quarter section Of land, ]. n. York,
remarked while in town the other day.
that as he lost the same piece in 1882,
under democratic administration it
was quite a gratifying and proper CO..
incidence that he was now enabled to
buy it back under another democratic,
administration. Mir. York is rock
ribbed republican, but is willing to
conceda that a reasonble degree Of
prosperity is beieng enjoyed under
-Unwashed and Unterrined" ausplc-
es-whether or not it is due to the
war.
In 1888 Mr.. York bought 500 acres
Of land from John Kirk for $4,000. Or
$25 an acre. In 1892 he found he
couldn't hold it all and 'get by" The
quarter from which he then reluct-
antly parted is the one he has just
bought for si0O an acre, or SIS an
acre more than he was unable to pay
Ii years ago. Having always kept
an eye on it and being, able to acquire
it now, he has rounded out his place
to $40 acres.
In 1898 John Kirk sold the quarter
III question to "Uncle Billy" Bade for
only $500. He took this money to
Salem and with it bought town prop
erty which he still owns and which is
valued at more than $4,000.
All Of which goes to show how Or
egon realty values have gone up IN
little less than quarter Of CEN
tury, assatmaaAa aA

Men Wanted N West End

There is such demand for men
and teams in the Hermiston country,
says the Herald, that the shortage is
very noticeable. Employers now talk
very nice and say please when trying
to get moro help. Even such tactics,
however, will not avail when there is
no help to be had. The reclamation
service is one Of those hit by the pre-
sent conditions. All through the yeaer
the crew on the west extension work
has never been more than 80 per cent
full and now help is wanted for work
on the project about Herniston. With
the irrigation season over the service
desires to start lining, repair and 9TH
er work usually carried on during the
winter months, but so far have neith-
er men nor teams. Crews viii be put
to work as fast as they can be had.

Prices have increased all along the

THE indications are that early this

publishers will be unable to get out
one-cent papers without a loss, and
an increase in price will be impera
