THE IKKIGATION AGE.

CAUSE AND EFFECT. 



As soon as it was announced by the 

 newspapers throughout the state of 

 Oregon that Northwest Townsite 

 Company had given the largest bond 

 ever filed with the Desert Land Board 

 of that state, guaranteeing the com- 

 pletion of the Paisley irrigation proj- 

 ect, a rush was made for the U. S. 

 Land office at Lakeview, which is the 

 nearest point at which homestead en- 

 tries can be made. Nearly all of the 

 government land adjoining the 13,000 

 acres segregated for this 'project was 

 imrhediately taken' up, as 'desert land 

 claims, by these homesteaders, who 

 hope to secure some of the excess wa- 

 ter after the Northwest Townsite 

 Company has completed the irrigation 

 works and has supplied the quantity 

 that will be required by settlers on 

 the segregation.

Buy Certainty with Your Wagon 



THERE is no longer any need to speculate in wagons. Before you 

 buy a wagon you can be sure of the quality of wood in hubs, Hi 

 | spokes, felloes, axles, bolsters, stakes, and boxes ; of the weight and fijjjf 



quality of metal in tires, skeins and ironing. I H C wagons 



! Weber New Bettendorf Steel King f 



are the easiest running, longest lasting wagons you can buy because the 



lumber used is carefully selected first grade oak and hickory for wheels, 

 I the finest yellow or bay poplar for box sides, and the very best long-leaf | 



yellow pine for box bottoms. 



j The construction of I H C wagons is worthy of the good material used. . 

 I The lumber is machined swiftly by automatic machines, doing the work ' 



at a cost away below that of turning out wagon parts by old fashioned 

 I methods. The saving thus made is returned to you in better quality of i 



material. All joints fit snugly. Skeins are paired, assuring easy running. 

 I All ironing and other metal parts are extra thick and strong. Go to the 

 | I H C dealer who handles these wagons and ask him to prove our | 



claims. Remember, that our responsibility does not cease when the sale 

 j is made. You are the person who must be satisfied. Weber wagons . 

 i have wood gears, New Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears. 



The I H C local dealer will show you the kjnd best suited to your 

 | needs. See him for literature and full information or write | 



the nearest branch house.
