Houses Wanted.

Emmett presents a good field for
investment in the way of house
building. Immigrants are passing
through every week Uhomight stop
if there were any place for them to
live. Many people in the last few
months wouli have come to En-
nett if they could have rented
house. Any one who wants to gain
a splendid income on his invest
ment has chance Of doing so By
putting up houses for rent. What
our town needs is dozen or more
neat cottages erected az once.
Those who have money and are in
terested in the town have only to
look about them to see that such
an investment viii pay them III
more ways than one. The rent will
amount to avery large rate Of in
terest and the effect on the town
will be no small item. A 5000 in
vestment at S5 per month will bring
10 per cent, but a house and lot
that will rent for S5 per month can
be obtained for considerable less.
In many new towns the site owners
will give away lots under contract
of building. They do not do it
through love unless it be love OF
money for they well realize that
such building will enchance the
value of the adjoining property
more than balancing the amount
given away. In this way the home
investors could make n double in

! houses. Many towns with hal
