Among the Exchanges
of the Inland Empire
sO,OOO.OOO Mortgage Satisfied.
ssssssssssssssssessssssss

Satisfaction of a mortgage for &c.
100000, given by the o. r. & N. COM
pany good many years ago, was
filed in the office of the county re-
corder this week. The important
part Of the transaction is that this
removes a defect on the title of a
large part of Chaplin's Addition to La
Grande, within which is situated
nearly all the business part of the
town. Along&bout 1880 the o. r. &.
N. company gave blanket mort
gage TO the Farmers Loan and Trust
company of New York, for funds to be
used in construction of the road to
Huntington. Daniel Chaplin had
given the company ground for yards
and good many blocks besides on
the good faith agreement that this
would be made the end of division.
Ground that was afterwards sold by
the company was handled through q
trusteeship.
Although no trouble has grown out
of the mater 1t has been claimed that
no property owner within the district
affected had clean title on account
of this mortgage which was supposed
to cover everything the company
owned. The acknowledgement that
the mortgage has been paid entirely
removes the cloud, and all who may
have been worried over 1t may rest
assured that these titles are safe

Richest Farmer in Union County.

The assessment rolls show that A.
b. Conley is easily the largest inCi-
vidual owner of farming land in Union
county. He is assessed on 1913
acres, and practically every foot Of
1t is first-class, tillable land. on
straight market value Mr.. Conley's
land Is worth more than $50 per
acre-he would probably not accept
that price without additional pay for
improvements. The land is all title
clear and, with his other possessions,
Mr.. Conley is a millionaire. A little
over a quarter of a century ago his
principal stock in trade was a freight
ing outfit about as poorly equipped
as any on the road. Mr. Conleys
rise is due primarily to wheat raising,
but the advancing value of farming
land in the past few years has had a
good deal to do with il. He is known
as eastern Oregon's wheat king

SPEND $4,000
IMPROVEMENTS

Fully $4,000 will be spent in the
two street improvement districts now
organized on Normal HILL" said City
Engineer Wrighter today. land am OF
the opinion that before the present
work IL done as much more will be au-
thorized by the citizens of that part
of the city. The first district il in the
extreme east end and will be the one
greatest in cost for the land Is less
level there. But the cost Is compare
lively light even in that section, being
less than $50 a lot.
1.-THE second district embraces all
the hill district west OF Eighth street
and north of Seventh avenue and will
include the boulevards along the Snake
river and Clearwater fronts"
Engineer Wrighters detailed report
given to the city council last night
showing the estimated cost in the east
end improvement district IL as fol-
lows:
1.-THE total amount Of dirt moved was
$3.50 yards and the contract price was
10M cents a yard. making the total
cost $6.2s5.30. OF this amount the city
pays for 1O,s60 yards Of work done at
the intersection of the streets. The
sum to be paid by the city IL $1140.S0,
leaving $5,145.00 to be paid by the
property owners in the Improvement
district. There are 266 lots benefitted
and the assessment against each will
therefore be $19.40. The council at the
time the Improvement was authorised
estimated that the cost per lot would
not exceed $50, and the cost has there
for come within that figure"
The proposed Improvement consists
in grading the streets. fixing the gut
ters and parking the area from the
sidewalk line to the gutter. The gem
eral plan followed is to have six-foot
sidewalk and q ten foot parked area
on each side OF the street. The streets
will be put on a uniform grade and the
cutters planned with an idea Of MAIN
tanning surface drainage. This can
! be done at q light cost and will add
materially to the appearance. of the
property In the improved district.

SNOW FALL IS
up TO AVERAGE

Boise, March 10.-According to Ed
ward s. Wells. section director Of the
United States weather bureau, in some
parts of the state the depth Of snow ct
the close Of February was less than
that at the close Of January, ana In
but few sections was there a marked
increase in actual depth in exposed
places, but the precipitation for the
month Of February consisted for the
greater part, of rain and moist snow,
which contributed to the solidifyine
process that began in the latter part
Of January. and excepting the SNOW
that fell late in February most Of the
supply in the mountains at the close
of the month was unusually compact
High winds during the latter half oi
the month assisted this packing.
In the extreme northern portion Of
the state, drained by the tributaries oi
the upper Columbia river, large NUM-
Der of correspondents report only an
average supply Of snow, but there Il
no Indication OF deficiency in any
part bf this area. In parts Of Y th<
drainage areas Of the Salmon and
Clearwater rivers the fall Of snow
seems to have been relatively light
particularly In Lemhi and Idaho c0un-
ties. and the prospect for large now
from these streams was not good.
Elsewhere in the state correspon-
dents are almost unanimous in report
ing the supply of snow to be above ths
average, and in predicting an unu-
snally large waterfiow from the various
streams. The general prospect In thu
sonuthern counties has not been %
good before in yearR.
