ExMarshal Blankenship calls atten-
attention through THE REPUBLICAN to
reports in California papers of an IN

possible precaution against these
troublesome followers, but on account of
the great number OF unemployed men

iuries received by the plaintiff, was

A h3althy movement in real estate ia
beginning to be felt, particularly in the
northeastern additions. Within the

Several choice lots have been sold to
persons proposing to build at once.
This addition is recognized as resi-
dence district on account of its near
ness to the business portion of the
town, which may he reached in FIVE
minute walk. The prospect also of the
early construction of the Northern Ad-
dition railway, for which the material
has already been purchased, is contrib
utory, though in a less degree than the
proximity of the addition to Washing
ton street, to its increasing popularity
with those wanting convenient homes.
