The land has been given three classi-
fications and the prices set accordingly

A small payment is required at the
time of purchase, and the balance is
spread over ten payments, with no
interest charges on the first four
payments. If cash is paid a discount
is allowed, ,

The owners aim to get settlers on |

the land, and in order to assist them
as much as possible, to develop the
land low prices and easy payments
were decided upon.

A number of people have been wait-
ing for this land to be placed on the
market, There are only twenty-nine
‘pieces and they ‘will soon be picked
up by those who know the land and

who want a home-site which will be

more than self supporting,

These blocks are not for speculators,
but, first, for married men who will

locate and make their homes there, -

At the annual school meeting

of Quick district Venard Conn
was elected trustee to fill the
place vacated by Thomas Swift.
The assessment was again lower-
ed. There is left a balance on
hand owing to all improvements
voted a year ago not being yet
completed, or supplies bought.

Thos. Brewer and Thos. Bran-

don have made a lucky strike up
Dome mountain way.

The rabbits are very numerous

this year, and, “lacking the pio-
neer instinct,’’ although there is
ample wild pasture of the best
kind, they are living in ‘the gar-
dens and taking life rather easily.
Beets and strawberries seem to
appeal strongly to their tastes,
In fact, there are enough of them
to remind us of the rabbit drives
of California and the tales of
their depredations in Australia,
Of course, they are not that bad
yet, but we are hoping they get
thinned out considerable. No
doubt the eoyotes and lynx will
be on the job this winter and
someone will get a few pelts,

On the afternoon of the 2nd

came a breeze that felled trees in
all directions and by the hun-
dreds, while, unfortunately, a
good many landed on the fences,
The zephyr did not discriminate
as to whether the trees landed
across the roads or in the fields.
After the blow the grain looked
as though a steam roller had
passed over it, and if a heavy
rain comes now the farmers will
have a picnic cutting it all one
way. A few roofs and havsheds
of improper construction were
lifted up and flopped over, Of
course, this was only a nice sum-
mer breeze. The damage will
doubtless amount to considerable,
although at first one would not
realize its extent. We estimate
our own small Joss at. $500,
through uncapped haycoeks and
lodged grain, and extra labor on
‘|¢rops and repairing fences.

Acreage blocks of the finest

fruit and garden land in the
north can be had,
$28 to $40 an acre with long term
