orchard and all the comforts of
farm life.
Ben Norman has long had a
ranch on the Little Spokane near
its junction with the greater river.
Mr.. Norman efforts to irrigate by
bringing water up hill from the
Spokane river proved to be too
ideal, but he has one of the pleas
ant farm corners of the world just
below the Nine Mile project Of the
Inland Empire railway.
For many years J. w. Binkley
has had pleasant summer ranch
home on the Little Spokane within
easy reach of the city.
Perhaps the most famous of all
the country homes around Spokane
is that of Jay P. Graves on the
Little Spokane. He obtained the
property less than five years ago
and has converted it into fine
lawns, surmounted by a handsome
residence and fine buildings.
Judge Miles Poindexter has a
ranch on the Little Spokane about
| miles from town, where he
passes his vacations, though the
place is as yet but a ranch. In
time it will be vastly improved.
This is a sample of what may be
expected in few years-a Spo.
kaneite purchases a partly devel
oped ranch, places a tenant there
on and grows up with the country
ultimately possessing a fine coun
try home.

NOBODY TRYING
To SELL IN
THIS CITY

While the present season has
not been one of an unusual num-
Der of transactions in real estate
in either the city or the county of
Spokane there have been salts
factory list of large deals. The
general run Of property changes
has covered small holdings.
There have been no bargain
days." says D. M. Thompson.
This is a healthy sign for Spo-
kane property, for it shows that
the present owners are satisfied
with their holdings. 1t also shows
that land which a few years ago
was on-producing has been i'm
proved and that the country is
building up and prospecting. Peo-
pie come here to stay and not to
speculate.
Regarding city real estate the
same seems to be true. Specific
reasons have induced some own
ers to improve property to dispose
Of their holdings, but as a rule
owners are holding on. Mr..
Thompson instanced the offer OF
an eastern correspondent to In
vest a considerable capital in pro-
ducing property in Spokane which
would produce from s to 8 per
cent. ut has been very hard to
find an owner who wants to meet
this proposition, said Mr.. Thomp-
son.

Track is being built from Pilot
Knob to the point at which the
river breaks and runs into the Sal
ton sea, for the purpose of hauling
rock to build a gigantic dam to
turn the river back from the sea.
AS soon as the overflow is shut
off, it is expected that the sea will
be lowered rapidly by evaporation.
Water will also probably be pump
ed out.

But whn these agencies have spent their force, thcb there will succeed
