The north side of the city is show
ing some important developments in
the building line this spring, and
keeping up with the steady growth
in all other portions of the city. In
the matter of residences the north
siders claim several special advan-
tages, not the least of which is the
black loan soil which is easy 20
convert into lawns and IN which
trees and shrubs grow rapidly. The
largest tree growth planted in the
city, is found on this side off of the
Northern Pacific track. ...,..

dition to his residence. which will

and 9Th street, but so far no sale of

cellent building advantages for homes

able that 100 houses could be rented
were they to be had. Travelling men
and new residents Of the city are
unable to hnd suitable houses not
withstanding the many new dwell
