CENTRAL WASHINGTON BooMs
WENATCHEE, June 5.-The influx

WENATCHEE, June 5.-The influx
of settlers to central Washington has
had decided effect on land values
and the prices have about doubled in
many places since one year ago. This
is true of the Entiat valley, as we'll
as of the Wenatchee valley fruit lands.
Shinn & Co., of Spokane, are investing
heavily in fruit lands of the small but
beautiful valley of the Entiat river.
Robert Gaines, a prominent rancher of
that section, is in the city today and in
speaking of land values in that vicin-
ity, said:
lone year ago ]. A. Macarthur was
offered $4,000 for his ranch, which
comprised 200 acres, sixty of which are
under the ditch. but refused, saying he
would take $4,000. A few days ago
Shinn & Co offered $4,000 and he re-
fused to sell. The Cowan place, one
mile from the mouth of the Entiat,
was bought for $4,000 1t has been
sold to Shinn & Co. for $4,000. E. T.
Mauk paid $500 for his place two
miles from the mouth of the river
about two years ago and everybody
thought he was crazy. 1t is now said
that he has been offered $4,000. Chas.
Harris. who offered his place for sale
last year for $1,000, has refused 500
600 for it,
Mr.. Gaines himself is afraid to put
price on his place for fear someone
will take him up.

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema - Instantaneous Relief

Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

elm reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by a
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, l resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
"In July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; 80 we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living ~ we do
