ton on May 1 For Removal
of County Seat.

On May l, residents of Thief River
Falls will begin the circulation of a
new petition for the removal of the
county seat from Red Lake Falls to
Thief River Falls. The notice to that
effect appears in Thief River Falls
papers this week and is signed by a
number of citizens of that place. To
be legal this new petition will have
to have over 1900 signatures and they
must be secured within sixty days
from the date the petition is started.
1t is now a little over two years
since the original county seat fight
was started and it has been in the
courts in one form or another for that
length of time. 1t might have been
in the courts for several years more
but for the fact that some one stole
the petition from it's resting place in
the auditors vaults. The old petition
contained over $4,000 signatures and
partizans of Thief River Falls claim
it will be an easy matter to secure the
necessary number of signatures.

A HOPEFUL CONDITION.
The Rapid improvement Of Va.
cant Property-Easier to Sell
Improved Property Than
That Which Is Unim.

The rapid improvement of vacant
property is one of the hopeful condi-
tons existing in the city," say the
head of realty company, in discuss
ing real estate conditions. This is
what makes city. 1t not only makes
the ground on which the buildings are
erected more valuable, but at the same
time enhances the value of adjoining
land
Through the building associations
of former years, many persons were
enabled to improve their vacant lots,
and are now, in many instances, the
happy possessors of free and unin-
numbered homes But for the plan
OF monthly payments they would still
be paying rent, and the natural in
crease in the value Of their land, If
permitted to remain unimproved would
be more than Offset by the loss Of
interest on the money invested, the
general and special taxes and other
charges.
1T is just as easy today for the
owner of clear vacant lot in good
location to build. He can procure all
the money necessary to erect a home
or fiat for the asking, plus the
agents commission, and the borrower
can dictate his own terms as to the
plan Of repayment. Several instances
have come to my observation within
the last year or two where owners of
vacant lots, after futile efforts to sell
the ground, have, after improving it.,
sold the property at price that has
not only resulted in the return of all
they asked, and more, for the ground,
but also a handsome profit besides.
"The money for improvement, as the
owner Of the vacant lot may decide
upon, is easily had. Most agents are
willing to advance the sum total re-
quired for the proposed building, al
lowing the borrower to repay a por-
ton OF the same in installments which
will average little more than the rental
value of the improved property, the
balance running for three to five years,
at the end of which time the owner
has the incumbrance so much reduced
that he can easily renew the balance
he owes, and in this way gradually cut
down his Indebtedness until it is en-
tirely wiped out.

Beat the Falls.

Some time ago the name of Oslo
was changed according to reports re-
ceived from that town to 500 City.
The Oslo Tribune. however, still comes
out under that name and whether the
change will stick or not seems to be a
I. question. Citizens of that city are
registering from 500 City. The
change is said to have been the result
of desire on the part Of Thief River
Falls to change to the same name.
Thief Riverites do not like their name
because of its length and the implica-
ton, but Oslo thought that 500 City
was a better name than Oslo so
slipped in ahead of Thief River Falls.
