from other parts of the state were
also present. AS the majority of the
land sold was timber land prices were
quite low, $23 per acre being the larg-
est bid received. The local lumber
companies We're in evidence and made
large purchases, the O'Brien Lumber
company in particular securing more
rand than any other bidder. There
was practically no leasing done, only
two or three pieces being secured in
this way. The land sold is in differ
ent portions of the county, a large
portion being north of Kalispel The
sale netted about $4,000, being much
less than the first sale held last year,

sold. The sale Wednesday was held
