Officlas of the navy department who
were asked regarding the criticism of

The Union Iron Works su omitted a
bid but the department. officials say
the bid was SO much higher than that
of the Maryland steel company that it
was cheaper to bnild the dock at Spar

homeseekers from the east are landing

couple of weeks. he states they have

day and from present indications thi.
number W ill be greatly increased dur
ing the next few weeks Many of the
new omers are locating in the valley
and others are going oil up the river
to the wheat country around Water
VILE. A few are locating across the
river in Douglas county.
Real estate men mere state that the
easterners are little slow in buy ing
land in the valley owing to the great
difference in the price between here
and in the middle west where most Of
them comefrom The cheap wDeat lanes
appeal to them as better Investment
than fruit land and comparatively few
are locating in the valley as yet.
Later, as they became better acquaint-
ed with conditions, it is expected that
more will locate in the valley and the
population will be aprreclably inereas-
ed from this source.
