continues as active as ever. with prices
tending strongly upward. Many heavy
deals have been made Of late, hut there
seems to he disposition to keep the tran
sactions fromthe public ear. ."wehayent
enough property yet" Is the general re-
Spouse TO the inquiry for the reason. Then
the plea Is made, Don't contribute to send
the prices up; Yakima property is too good
thing, and ] want more before II goes
any higher" These are common remarks,
hut the valuations can't be kept down, and
there Is q small, quiet whisper that deyel-
opments inside Of three weeks will make
property take great big lurrh upwards.
There is comparatively little property list
ed now with the dealers, as owners are
afraid to name their price. Influential
men have been getting in lately, and men
who are closely allied to great enterprises.
Things arc going to hum.
