Everybody nowadays wishes to live in
the suburbs; with the growing American
taste for out door sports and rural life it is
the ambition of nearly everyone to own "a
villa where all the delights of both city and
country life can be at once enjoyed. With
Il view of gratifying this laudable desire a
syndicate consisting of such well known
citizens as l.. II. Jameson, ID. NJ. Thomp-
son, ID. f. Wetzel, p. II. Greeley and j. w.
Stewart, have just plated quarter section
which, in our opinion, Will tie the suburb
OF Spokane Falls, in fine rs San Francisco
has IN its Meulo Park and Fruit Vale,
Chicago its Hyde Park, and Cincinnati its
Clifton, Spokane has its ALTAMoNr.
Where is ALrAMoNT? Just two miles east
of Howard street; Sprague street now be
ing opened, takes you nearly there and an
ordinary horse will easily travel from
AErAMoNT to the postoilice in twelve
minuets All the older residents know the
old Chapman place-the most beautifully
situated, the most slightly well as by FAR
the most fertile and well watered tract
within radius OF seven % miles from the
ceptiou, for we are but voicing the unani-
nous verdict of all who have ever seen the
place that for beauty OF situation, for con.
vience of access, for magEitcenCe of pros
pect, for fertility of soil, tor abundance of
water, for each and for all of these there is
really no place like ALTANoNT.
Take these features separately; ALrAMoNT
is backed to the south by the high hill
which effectually shields it from the pre-.
vailing southwest winds; 1t slopes gently to
the north, just enough to secure good
drainage Tor nearly half a mile, when it
suddenly descends by an almost perpendic-
ular iff ninety feet to the Spokane valley;
there is no place which nature has made so
beautiful as ALTAMoNT,
Take the view-it is simply superb! Here
spread out in an endless panorama, is the
entire valley of the Spokane, from where
it breaks out of its mountain -girted sources
of Cnur d'Alene to the Twin Sentinel
buttes, which mark its junction with the
majestic Colun bia. Away to the north, as
far as the eve can reach, the snow-capped
peaks that guard the eternal solitudes OF the
upper Columbia and the lower Pen d Ore
lille, melt into the horizon, while through
the entire valley can be traced the silver
thread which marks the winding course OF
the beauteous Spokane. If 1t is view you
want you must surely go to ALTAMoNT.
Soil! The soil at Altamont would make
an Iowa prairie turn pale with envy. 1t is
as black as coal as mellow as an ash heap.
See what it is now producing: Four tons
of timothy to the acre; hundreds of BUSH
els of potatoes and other garden vegetables;
wagon loads of strawberries and other
small fruits, Look at the thrifty orch
ards Several hundred trees, four years set,
and bearing bushels of apples each cher
ries, plums, peaches.
ALTAMoSr is surely the Fruit Vale Of Spo.
kane.
What about the WATER? In nearly ev-
cry part Of ALrAMoNT pure spring water
can be obtained in abundant quantities
by digging from SIX TO ten feet hut there
are besides five large and never failing
springs.
With an estimated capacity of 25,-
600 gallons per diem which are reserved
for public use and so situated that water
can be piped over the entire tract AMI
whoever has drunk OF these springs will
gladly testify that there is no water so
pure SO abundant and so delicious rs the
flowing springs at ALTAMoNT! Nature
has done all this but art has done aud
will do much more. Under the direction
Of the syndicate MeSsrs. Ashley ~ Clarke
have laid oft the tract into beautiful villa
lots running from one-half To seven acres
III extent, with beautiful winding avenues
and drives whose graceful curves and easy
grades are q delight to the eye.
1t is the intention Of the syndicate to
plant these avenues to walnut, elm, box
elder and other shade trees.
when a. in the near future these lovely
tracts are occupied by stately mansions
surrounded 10y trim lawns: blooming
orchards, fields of clover and gardens OF
roses, it will take the rank which it will
never lose as THE suburb of Spokane.
Are the prices of this property high? No;
to the right parties who wish to buy tract
which they wish to adorn by the necessary
improvements the prices will be put very
low. One Of the members of the syndicate
Is having plans drawn by Lawrence b.
Walk and son, architects, Tribune building,
New York, for villa residence of brick
with granite and terra Gotta trimming
which will not be excelled by any similar
structure in the territory, and IL inquiries
from some Of our very best people be
criterion, IL will only be short time till
al these tracts are disposed of.
Plats can be seen at the office of all our
leading real estate men, and all needed in.
formation will be supplied by the following
firms: JANIEsoS & THOMPSON.
WApswORrH, KooNs & FISHER.
