One Of his brothers is the Duke of Aosta

Italy, and the other the adventurous
Duke of Abruzzi.
Unlike Prince Henry's visit to the

WESTERN REAL ESTATE
THE PRICES ARE VERY HIGH
e. c., Walton Promises to Advance
Prices Here-Local Market
Booming.

Edmund G.. Walton, who has Just re-
turned from a four weeks trip through
southern California, is more inclined than
ever to invest in Minneapolis real estate
after investigating the bargain counters
Of real estate men In western cities.
prices are three times higher in and
about Los Angeles than here, said Mr..
Walton. 1t is my intention to raise
prices on my holdings In Min
neapo1is, for there is no reason why, If
high prices are good In that country, they
should not be good in Minnesota.
Everybody dabbles in real estate out
there, if they can afford to. The western
fellows are full Of jolly. They seem to
have imbibed the new thought idea, to see
nothing but good in every thing. Their
adorable climate, the fruits and flowers,
they talk Of perpetually, and the news
papers help them, too. But never a
word do you hear of drouths, Of sandy
wastes, of dried up rivers
Mr.. Walton said he was greatly pleased
to note healthy condition of things in
the local market. His sales have been
particularly heavy lately, and the number
OF inquiries for houses and lots is great
er than ever before in the firms history.
