IRRIGATED LANDS
Population Of 1000 at Hayden
Lake

An idea Of the popularlIy :. ,rri-
gated lands may be gained from the
fact that Malloy Bros, of Spokane
have sold during the last 90 days 900
acres of land at Hayden lake, agRre-
eating In value about ell2, 500.
This land has mostly been sold In ave
and 10 acre tracts, at an average
price OF $125 per acre. The con-
tracts carry perpetual water rights.
MRlloy Bros. estimate that rs per
cent Of those who bought have pur-
chased with the intention OF making
their homes ON the land. About 80
percent of the buyers arc from out Of
the city, being ranchers and persons
of other trades from eastern Washing
ton and Idaho.
Most of the land will be put In or
chard, but great deal OF vegetable
growing, will be done, and sugar
beets will be raised extensively.
The Hayden lake spur Of the Occur
d'Alene electric line and a spur from
the international line will each reach
eAAN AAANAHs
Within two or three years this land
will probably be largely under cultl-
Walton and supporting population
of from 1900 70 1000 people. II has
been demonstrated that a good living
for family can be made ON ave acres
Of irrigated land
With the veiw OF the tracks soon
being populated, the promoters OF the
Hayden Lake irrigated tracts have
decided 20 erect a $4,000 brick school
house on the site OF tho present
schoolhonse, which will be torn
down. This building will be erected
in the spring, and will be complete In
time for the fall term Of school next
year.
Cna Of the industries that Is prov
ing popular la the cheaper irrigated
land, such as Hayden lake IL poultry
raising. Malloy Bros. have one Of
the largest and finest poultry ranches
In the northwest at Hayden lake.

approved proposal and appointed
committee, Earl Rogers, F. L. Bur-
gan, and c. j. Shoemaker, to investi.
gate and promote this matter.
The matter of the proposal of the
Blaine Harrow Factory of Piqua, o
was referred back to the board of
directors with the authority to
accept the proposition made by the
company and to devise ways Of and
means TO effect immediate execution.
The proposition made by the harrow
factory people is that the club or city
give the factory a bonus of SO, 900
to be paid in $4,000 installments
each year, until the full amount is
paid. The factory in return prom
ises to establish factory in our city
permanently and guarantees a payroll
of $500 week. This enterprise will
be practically controlled by local par.
ties as number of the business men
Of the city have subscribed for large
amount of the companys' stock.
n mOJlOn WIS InBQ6 TO Jno 6nOCL
that the sentiment of the club was to
give Spokane the hearty support Of
our city in securing terminal freight
rates instead of the high rates
which prevail at the present time.
The Occur d'Alene Commercial club,
limited will aid Spokane in every
possible manner in this fight, and
committee Of three, V. w. Sander,
o. E. Barr, and A. L. Brown, was
appointed to interview the merchants
of the city and secure their support
in making the fight. This is one Of
the most important steps taken by
the club in some time as it means
lower prices for the people of the
city on all articles imported by the
merchants.
The meeting adjourned, and the
committees appointed will promote
their with all energy, and it
is expected that the near future will
see the result of the action taken last
evening. The club is receiving the
support Of almost every citizen in
their work and much enthusiasm is
being displayed.

The principal opposition was to the
proposition giving the people the
right to recall representative officers,
the argument being that this was too
