James S. Naismith says that this July

seen. While many people have been
out Of town, enough new ones have
been in the market to keep him busy
Mr.. Naismith can see no reason why

last month, as well as a number of good
sales, one Of which was of four fine
fats on the north side Of Twenty-fift
street, west of Grove, to julius Weber
of Auburn. Other sales were: Lot on

house and lot on Twenty-second street
to A. Park: corner lot at West and
Eighteenth streets, to /. Violin
Mr. Naismith is now finishing for

that our real estate men know where
