All the rage at present seems to be TO
own a piece Of acre property. Many be-
levers in the prosperous future OF this
city, who have from time 10 time bought
and sold city lots and made money out
OF them are becoming deslrous TO be
owners OF some acres, which they may
hold for time until the city's growth
will justify plating OF selling the
property at an advanced figure 10 some
other fellow. The difficulty, on the
part Of small investors, in this regard,
has been the scarcity Of acre property in
parcels small enough for them 10 han
die. Occasionally small tract OF five
or ten acres is offered. and promptly
40 and more generally I6O acres Is the
size Of the average acre tract sold To
meet the views OF the many who want
little piece Of acre property. but can't
afford to wholesale, MathesOn X Steele
offer for sale ten acres on the east OF the
city for $3.50 only $l25 an acre. The
location Of the property Is such that
there Is every reason 10 anticipate a
marked increase in value in the next
twelve months; in fact, there Is no part
within reasonable distance Of Helena,
TO which the same prediction may not
reasonably be made. One-half OF the
purchase money, $625, is TO be paid
down, and the remainder in one year,
before which time the property can un-
douhtedly be sold at a handsome ad-
vance. Valuable water privileges ap-
pertain to and go with the property.

The wooden mills project Is at stand
still at present. That they will be erected is
certain, as all the required capital is paid
in and plans and estimates secured for the
construction of the work, but the question
not yet solved is where il will be located.
The gentlemen composing the company
are ready and anxious to put the plant at
Helena for various reasons, If water can be
secured. Until the water problem is set
tied il will not be known where the woolen
mills will be located. AS the wool clip is
now being marketed, and therefore cannot be
secured for Helena this year, ii is not prob
able that anything will be done right away
towards the commencement of work, but il
will be in readiness 10 purchase next sea-

Ben Thompson was brought back from
Dakota last Tuesday. He is accused by
William Kranich with having swindled
him out of several hundred dollars four
years ago. Thompson was log contrac-
tor and worked for Sanford & Evans near
Alhambra Springs. He left the country
suddenly taking with him, asiMr. Kranich
claims, money of the latter. Nothing was
heard from him until about a month ago
Mr.. Kranich heard he was living at Tyn-
dale, Dakota, and procured his arrest. A
requisition was secured from Governor
White and an officer sent for Thompson.
The officer said the people of Tyndale were
astonished at ThOmpson's arrest as he had
conducted himself since living in their
midst as an honorable gentleman and had
acquired considerable property. 1t is
thought Thompson can secure bail.

cannot fail to recognize as a
good deal lower than the same

to determine whether goods are
cheap or not, that doesn't meet
the expectations of retail buy

crease this business SO as to
keep pace with the rapid growth

do expect to do it by meeting
popular expectations and de-
mands in every particular.

which we will offer during this
