Real Estate Continues Active.

Real estate continues active despite
the fact that at this season no particu
lar activity is expected. Eastern peo-
pie are busy with the usual spring rush
in r lines and are not expected to be
travelling far from home to look up the
merits of new countries at this sea son
of the year. but despite this fact there
are n good many new people coming
this way and they are looking the coun-
try over with the usual favorable opin-
ION resulting. Some are buying, others
80 back to their homes to think it over
and from this contingent there are al
ways those who will later return and
invest. Our people have no reason to
complain on account of the real estate
market. Several sales are reported
this week. while others are practically
closed. but not in condition to max c
public.
The largest deal of the week is re-
ported by The uncompahgre Valley
Real Estate Company. they having sold
TO John Forrest of Lincoln. Neb.. the
J. II. English farm. comprising 100
acres on Ash mesa for consideration
of 5000. This is fine piece Of land
and in our judgment within few years
will quadruplc that value. Mr.. Forrest
has bought other land near Montrose
and he expects to make home either
AT Montrose or in Delta.
Mrs. M. X. Norton has bought the
Mopin property comprising II acres
and two small houses and located at
the west end Of 9TH street, in consider
alton of 200. The family will move
to this place and rent the property they
at present occupy near the depot.
