RHEA CREEK REAL
ESTATE IS MOVED
LaxtOn McMurray Sells Out For $dS,.
900 and C. c. Rhea Buys tho
Jason Biddle Ranch.

Two important deals In Rhea Creel
real estate were made last week. Lax.
ton McMurray sold his what ranch
consisting of 1000 acres to Dave
Irwin of Prescott, Wash, for $e5-
900.
The McMurray land lays nice and
is big producer of wheat Mr.. IT.
win, who has made considerable mon-
ey farming in EAxtern Washington,
will put one Of his sons ON the Nor
row county ranch. @
Another deal was the purchase of
the Jason Biddle ranch by G. c. ,Rhea,
the consideration being $4,000. Mr..
Biddle bought this place few years
ago and the crop paid for the ranct
the first year. Mr.. Rhea recently sold
his Rhea creek holdings to w. H.
Padberg and since that time has been
over part OF Oregon and all the way
back to Missouri looking for suit
able location. The fact that he re-
turned to Morrow county and bought
another ranch within few miles OF
where he recently sold out, is proof
enough that he considers land values
here superior to any other section.

has there been a grander opportunity
for State betterment and never has
there been more propitious season
for benefcient changes. If we all put
our shoulders to the wheel the next
primaries should produce candidates
that will make the next session of
our State Legislature the turning
point in our history and it is our
plain duty to do SO. For II we fail
this year to elect men whose back
bones are strong enough to support
their conciences we can not hope to
secure that recognition from without
