Full OF Good Points Where to Invest
Your Money.

Your Money.
Recently New York syndicate pur-
chased $3.50, 900 worth of land in this
Northwest. The syndicate was formed by
one of Boston's most conservative capital
lists. 1t is only few weeks ago that we
sold to San Francisco capitalist business
property on Second street to the amount
Of S127.500. We have inquiries from other
investors for much larger amounts. This
shows the way the wind is blowing. The
Puget Sound Country, especially Seattle,
is good place to invest money, and East
ern people are taking advantage of it. The
completion OF the Great Northern railway
will bring moneyed men here. They want
good property that pays an income, and if
you can buy today We can sell in the
future at a good profit for you. Some
holders must sell. We have income prop
erty to suit any amount you have-s2, 900
to 800, 600. This is business property.
Choice residences. 81 600 to $4,000 Lots
for building at prices that are genuine
bargains. No trouble to show the prop
erty. If you don't want to build now, it
will be a good investment to purchase
while bargains can be had. Come and
talk with us.

OF this city, was today arrested on a charge of
poisoning her husband, George Painter, a we'll
known citizen. Painter died very suddenly

fore her marriage with Painter. His ailment
