change in prices for some time, although
the conditions shortly will materially aftect

The wheat market has been showing in
creased strength of late, and flour, as
might be expected, is sympathizing. There
are those of a speculative turn who regard
wheat as good buy at present prices, but
others again, perhaps equally informed,
can see no good reason at present why
there should be better prices. The re-
ceipts of hay, while not large, appear to be
sufficient TO supply the local market re-
ouirements, which are not very extensive

THE DAVIDSON FARM.
Now Being SoId-Liberal Terms to
Settlers.
A Body Of Very Choice Lands That
Will Soon be Occupied.

In close proximity to the Gilfillan
farm $50 fully described in this issue
of the GAzETrE) and joining it at many
points is the great farm owned by the
late Commodore William F. Davidson
at his death, and now owned by his
heirs. It extends along the Indian
Reservation line for about twelve
miles and will average about four
miles in width. Some quarter-sections
lie Immediately adjoining the town of
Morgan, and are quite valuable. The
land in Brookville and Three Lakes
townships is equally as good and fer
tile,and even more desirable for farm
ing purposes. In all about $500 acres
is under cultivation and the tenants
now on quarter-sections, under lease
contracts, are given the preference as
applicants to purchase. This is only
fair to those farmers who havo placed
Improvements on the land and signi-
fed their intention to buy the same
whenever it should be placed upon
