THE SALE OF OREGON VALLEY LAND
CONTRACTS IS ABOUT TO CLOSE
Perhaps this sentence does not convey nny meaning to you
Liaton The Oregon Valley Land Co of Kansas City Mo has pur
chased 500000 acres of land in the counties of Lake Klamath and
Harney in SoutheaHtorn Oregon
They are selling 300000 acres of this land in the form of contracts
which cost 20000
1000 down and 1000 per month
The uniform prico gives you and mo an undivided interest in that
immense tract of 30000 acres You may socuro a tract of 10 acres
5 acres of which will bo under irrigation at the time of the oponing
or you may got a tract of 1000 acres In addition to each
tract the Company gives to every contract holder a town lot in the
little city of Lake View Oregon
Lake View is 50 miles from the railroad which is building in day
by day however It has
1200 people two banks public schools churches
two newspapers U S Land and F orestry Offices
Court House racently compl ted that cost 50000
hot mineral springs gravity water system aud
electric light plant operated byturbines in short
this little town has advantages that are the wonder
of the state
Take your map of Oregon and look for Lake View You will find
that it is about six miles from Goose Lake a body of water 3o miles
long and from 7 to 9 miles broad Lake county also has nine other
largo lakes within its boundaries The facilities for IRRIGATION
ARE UNEXCELLED and the Oregon Valley Land Co is building
a plant that will water thousands of acres
If such is the case you will naturally ask Why is this land being
sold so cheaply if it is worth what you claim
Here is the answor The Oregon Valley Land Co bought for two
million dollars a tract of land 500000 acres in extent They are
selling for two million dollars a tract of land 300000 acres in extent
Their profit in dollars and cents on this proposition is practically
nothing But they still have 200000 acres of fine land that they
will put on the market in two years that will sell at prices ranging
from 2500 to 500 00 per acre
What Makes Land Valuable People and People Only
I have sold many of thesa tracts to people in this town that are
responsible and I will be pleased to have you consult themiThere
are 11992 contracts There are 11992 tracts There are 11992 lots
and they ARE ABOUT TO CLOSE If you cannot invest 10 00
per month dont come but if you can invest 1000 per month call
upon or write me for information at Room 4 P O Building

some of the procedure and succeeded in
getting word to thedepotin time to have
an engine from a freight train then in
the yard run down and pull the freight
cars back to Holdrege aud onto a side
track The light from No 3s engine
loomed up in the east as the cars were
being pulled back into safety

TURKISH ARMY OFFICERS
They Aro Neither Loved Nor Respect
cd by Their Men
Very seldom If he can help it does
the Turkish nrmy ofllcer appear on
horseback and when not on duty he
looks upon his horse merely as a meth
od of locomotion He has no affection
or understanding for the horse The
superior olllcers have no horses of their
own and being generally bad riders
and without military qualities which
would raise them In the estimation of
their men they aro ueither loved nor
respected by them Married ofllcers
keep entirely to themselves such
things as invitations to one anothers
houses being unknown and the only
occasions upon which olllcers meet to
gether at all are on the days of assem
bly when they are called together for
the sultans birthday or accession cele
brations
The pay of the lower ranks is as
small as that of the superior officers is
high The young cavalry officer who
makes a good impression on his entry
into the service soon falls to pieces
through want of occupation either of
mind or body The greater part of
the morning and evening ho sits over
his coffee and cards or dominoes
There are but few newspapers aud
those that do exist are so severely
censored by the government that they
contain little but weather statistics
gazettes aud announcements of the be
stowal of decorations
What the Turkish officer really thor
oughly enjoys is a gramophone In
struments playing the waltzes and re
producing Hie music hall songs of all
the cities of Europe are in the greatest
possible request chiefly because they
make music without any personal trou

A PRECARIOUS EXISTENCE
Mental Tribulations of the Supersti
tious Woman
The superstitious woman started to
go downtown but found that she had
forgotten something It was hard work
to get her to go back for it but when
she did sat down for a few minutes to
take the curse off before going out
again On the -sidewalk she passed a
cross eyed man and had hard work to
keep from spitting three times over
her left shoulder The first car that
came along was No 13 She let it go
by and waited eight minutes for an
other On the way downtown she re
marked to a friend that she had been
in excellent health lately Instantly
she was obliged to loose her glove and
rub her bare palm on the wood of the
bench before her As she and her
friend were walking on Twenty third
street some thoughtless person darted
between them The superstitious wo
man was much disturbed and worried
over the thought of a coming separa
tion
That night her husband upset the
saltcellar She insisted on his taking
a pinch of the salt and throwing it
over his shoulder When she disrobed
for the night she discovered that she
had been wearing one stocking wrong
side out all day It was the sign of
good luck and it allowed her to go to
bed happy But some time in the night
a dog howled dismally under her win
dow From that moment she has been
looking for- a calamity Nothing will
make her believe that there will not
soon be a death in her immediate fam

When the Noise Let Up
Two young women of stolid common
sense appearance were the sole femi
nine occupants of a subway car until
there entered a flashily dressed girl
with face made up like a cosmetic ad
vertisement and accompanied by a
young man attired in the extreme
The two young women eyed the new
comer with interest while they con
tinued their conversation The train
slowed down at the next station the
rattle and bang of operation ceased
and the voice of one of the young wo
men became suddenly audible
If I had a face like that do you
know what Id do Id hock it
The girl with the makeup looked
daggers her escort looked foolish the
speaker looked out of the window and
a dozen passengers looked as though
they enjoyed it New York Globe
