Il. Mcdonald Comes Back al An
Unreliable Paper
SAYS CITY SHOULD BUY THOMAS TRACT
COULD MAKE MONEY BY DISPOS
ING OF UNUSED PORTION
OF LAND.

Harvey Mcdonald, the real estate
agent, who was quoted by an ire
sponsible and unreliable evening pa
per last Saturday as having said that
the eighty acres of the Thomas ranch
offered to the city for $4,000, was
listed on his books a short time be-.
fore at $4,000, repudiates the state
ment. He says the city would get a
bargain in this eighty acre tract at
the price for which it is offered. He
says the city can readily sell all the
tract that it does not need for its res
ervoir site at $500 an acre. In fact
that price has been offered for twenty
acres of the tract and another man is
eager to buy thirty acres If the city
retains twenty acres and sells the re-
naming sixty acres at $500 an acre,
1t will get back $4,000 of the
$4,000, making the cost of the twenty
acre reservoir site only $1,000. Mr. Nc
Donald has made the following writ
ten statement:
ITO Whom 1t May Concern
I'm justice to all concerned, I de-
sire to say that 1 have fully investi-
gated the sale of the 80 acres of the
Thomas ranch to the city of Walla
Walla, and find that part of the tract
on which 1 had a price has been sold
to other parties, and that this tract
of so acres comprises a great deal
more high-priced land than the tract
on which my price was given. In the
event of water being delivered to the
unwatered part of the tract priced to
me, an additional sum of $4,000 was
to be charged.

Yale is that training table expenses Of
