COUNTRY AROUND
EPHRATA Being
RAPIDLY DEVELOPED
Population Of County Tributary to that
Town is Said to Have trebIed in
the Last Year. Big Increase in
Wheat Acreage.

EPHRATA, Nov. g. E phrata, on
tahe line of the Grreat Northern and III
the heart of the Douglas county wheat
country, has experlen ced most re-
markable growth during the past year.
In that time it is copservatively esti-
mated that the population of the coun-
try tributary to that town has trebl-
ed. Every day new settlers are coming
in and land has more than doubled in
value during the last six months.
Wheat land that last spring could have
been purchased for eight or nine dol
lars all acre is now selling at S1S per
acre and is still advancing. Home
steals are still to be had but these
are located fIom % to 80 miles from
the town an are being rapidly taken
up.
Next year will show IL enormous
incl ease in the acreage of wheat. Over
$4,000 acres of new land has been
broken up this fall and more will be
broken up next spring. Old settlers
in his part of the county state that this
is as good a wheat country as there is
in the state of Washington. This year
wheat went fre N 90 to so bushels an
acre and the average crop is placed at
from bet Heen 25 and 80 bushels to the
acre. While the crop this year
was slightly hetter than usual, crop
failure in this section has never been
known. TIE amount of wheat that
will te sh,pred from Ephrata this year
is approximately 2500.00 bushels, of
which 40. 900 bushls was produced on
Sage brush fats south of the town.
These flats are some of the best VII eat
prosducing land in the county but
there are thousands of acres near
Ephrata equally good. Threshing
is still going on and already 80 car
loads of wheat have been shipped from
Ephrata. Although there has been
lack of threshirg machines vely little
wheat in this vicinity will be lost as
the work will continue until snow flies
and if there is any left at that time it
will be used as hay, which in this
county sells from twelve to fifteen
dollars ton
The town Of Epbiata is growing at
the same rate as the surrounding
country and now has water system
and an elecrtic light plant. New en-
terprises are locating there and it bids
fair to become one of the principal
towns on the line of the Great North
ern railway in eastern Washington.
