TWO RIVERS LANDS.
New Real Estate Firm Formed at the
County Seat.

John A. Lyons, ex-county commits
sioner, and Ivan Chase, formerly pub
Usher of the Colfax Gazette, have formed
partnership and opened real estate
office in thef Krause block, at Colfox.
While doing a general real estate bust
ness, they are at present making spec
lalty of the popular irrigated lands in
the new Two River district, for which
they are the sole selling agents in Whit
man county. The Two Rivers district is
located in the southwestern corner of
Walla Walla county, at the confluence of
the Columbia and Snake rivers, and the
lands will be irrigated with water from
the latter, never failing supply. The
SOIL Is light, sandy volcanic ash, and
when irrigated yields most prolific crops
OF fruits, berries, vegetables, alfalfa. etc.,
which mature and are ready tor market
couple of weeks anead of other irriga-
ted districts. This manifest advantage,
when the prices for new stuff are highest
make these lands the most valuable of
their kind.
Two ivers lands are sold in small
tracts, 40 acres being the limit to pur-
chaser, at very modest prices, ranging
from $50 to 800 an acre, and the values
will advance sharply, most people shy
double, in less than year, or possibly
when the water is turned on. about 80
days hence. No better investment with
quicker returns assured, is offered any
where.
Two Rivers town property, which, like
the lands, is going fast, offere similar
chances for profits. The town is To-
Gated between the N. P. and o. R. &
N. railways, one mile from each, thus
having the best possible shipping facili-
ties, with quick access to the markets of
the whole northwest.
Profits are i'll sight-it is not ques-
FEtiea of years, but OF weeks only. Will
you let the opportunity slip Write
about 1T today to Lyons q Chase, Colfax.
Wash, through whom the reduced rate
OF 30 for the round trip from Colfax may
be secured. The saving in fare more
than pays your hotel bill at Two Rivers.

BANK PLANS SKYSCRAPER,

Replace Rossmore and Metropole.

The New Amsterdam Bank already has OBJ
tanned most of the block on the west side of
broadway between 41st-st. and 42d-st. it is re-
ported. and is seeking to acquire the rest Of
the block on which they purpose TO erect a,
modern skyscraper. The buildings. which in
cuae the Rossmore ard Metronole hotels, are
owned by the Coe estate. The bank. which
now is quartered in the Metropolitan Opera
House building, has already purchased the
building occupied by the Rossmore Hotel it Is
said, and has practically finished negotiations
for the building on the north occupied by the
Metropole Hotel, and that the south. occu-
pied by a cigar store with several loft floors.
The chief difficulty which has been met by the
bank people in their acquisition of the desired
property is said to be the absence of such
cancellation clause in the lease held by the Con-
sidines on the Metropole Hotel property George
and John Considine have a four-year ironclad
lease on this property, the greater part Of which
is still to run. am it is said they have abso-
lutely refused to relinquish it. Little difficulty
is expected In securing the other building south
of the Rossrnore.
Both hotels are well known in the Tender,
