LOTS AT AUCTION
First Public Sale of Euclid Park
Addition.
Over 200 People Attend the
Initial Auction.
BRISK AT THE START.
Weather Was Cold for the Pros
pective Purchasers.
Agents Are Well Pleased With
the Start.

About sixty lots ranging in prices
from SAT to $3.50, We're sold at the
auction of the Euclid Park addition on
Saturday afternoon in a little over two
hours.
Despite the fact that the chilling
north wind made ulster overcoats and
heavy furs almost a necessity to keep
the blood from stiffening in the veins,
more than zoo people We're on hand at
o'clock, when Aucuoneer Benedict
mounted a soapbox. as his stand. Fully
half of his audience were women. They
took as much interest in the bidding
as the men.
Competition between buyers was
brisk right at the outset. The selling
began at the corner of Seventeenth and
McVicar avenue. It took just one hour
to sell all the lots on this avenue be-
tween Seventeenth and Fifteenth
streets one of the corner lots brought
the best price of the day, $3.50. The
demand for these lots was very strong.
They are the farthest east of the en-
tire tract and closest to town. From
the talk of the purchasers most of
them are to be converted into homes
very soon.
The scene of activities was then
transferred to the next street west
Guthrie avenue, where some sales were
made, and then to Redden avenue
where aIler a snort time the work was
given up for the afternoon. 1t was
almost too cold for the people to
stand around. Most of them were
dancing back and forward stomping
their feet, flinging their arms, and in
other ways performing gymnastics to
keep warm. Enough buggies We're tied
to fence posts and trees over the tract
to make one think that a country picnic
was in progress.
On Monday afternoon at 2 O'Clock

afternoon thereafter until all of the
lots are sold Prizes will be given awav
every afternoon. The place is of verv

The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves.
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia bronchitis, rheuma-
tisnl, prostration, and even con.
sumption.
The story told by scores of victims OF
the grip is substantially the same. One
was tortured by terrible pains at the
base of the skull; another was left tired,
faint and i'll every way wretched from
an9mia or scantiness of blood; another
had horrible headaches, was nervous and
couldn't sleep; another was left with
weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and
acute neuralgia. In every case relief
was sought III vain until the great blood
builder and nerve-tonic, DR.. Williams
Pink Pills, was used. For quickness and
thoroughncss Of action nothing is known
that will approach it.
Mrs. Van Scoy makes a statement that
supports this claim. She says:
II had a severe attack of grip and, be.
fore I had fully recovered, rheumatism
set in and tormented me for three
months. I was in a badly rundown
state. Soon after it began I was so lame
for a week that I could hardly walk. It
kept growing steadily worse and at last

three weeks 1 was obliged to keep nv

BUSINESS OPENINGS IN THE
NORTHWEST.

1t seems to me that the man with
a small capital can find no better
opportunity for investment and for the
establishment of a small business than
in some one of the many growing
towns of the Northwest.
The Great Northern Railway issues
a booklet Business Openings which
adequately and comprehensiyely de-
scribes the needs of the many towns
along it's line and contains a detailed
list of the business openings afforded
the man with limited means as well
as the big investor. l do not know Of
a section of the country which offers
such limitless opportunities to the man
who is content to live in a new cow

state of the Northwest there is an
available supply for almost every form
of manufacture. offers to the manu-
facturer a chance to operate close to
the supply Of raw material.

Happy Compromise.

At a dinner given by the Congrega-
tional club at Hartford, Conn, Prof.
E. F. Steiner Of Iowa College, who
was the guest of honor. told the fol-
lowing story:
An Irishman married a Jewess, and
their union was a happy one until the
stork paid them a visit. The young
son proved to be a bone OF contention,
for his father, with pardonable ego
tism, wished him named Pat, while
his mother was equally decidsd that
he should be called Moses. The day
was saved, however, by a Solomon in
the person of a woman across the hail,
for her suggestion was accepted by
both parties. The boy was christened

the various dairies in great number in
order to chat with friends or read the

consumption of milk, the supply is OF
