is not likely soon to be such another as
is offered at the present time in the
Northwest. The account given in yes

picture Of the truth. There are land

which brought everything to a standstill.
In q few places in the northwest there

times, however, was to stop buying and
selling. Capital grew over-cautious.
And capital was the one imperative ne

The ordinary rate of increase in value
OF northwestern real properties each year
is not y small one. So rapidly do prices
rise annually that investments pay Il per-

still the borrower saves himself and ac-

is held at or below the old figures.
Some illustrations have been given of

outside of the large cities, has there
been an actual increase. Now it is not
