HOLD ONTO YOUR PROPERTY
So Says Members Of Wa||a Wa||a
Real Estate Firm

Hold on to your Walla Walla prop
erty'' is the advice of the firm OF
FARMLAND & Brown, real estate deal
ers of this city.
'In view of the bumper crops this
year real estate will Iiven up a great
DEAL" said Mr.. Brown today. Prop
erty will greatly enhance and things
will be doing in this country
Real estate is always good In Walla
Walla and in view of the large crops
here this summer a great deal OF
property will change hands. There is
not a field of poor grain along the
road between here and Waitsburg.
Everywhere crops are good and the
outlook for a busy fall in real estate is
excellent.
Mr. FARMLAND has just returned from
a trip along the coast from Portland to
British Columbia cities. This after
noon he said regarding the outlook
here as compared to the larger cities
of the coast:
Real estate is IiveIier here than
anywhere on the Sound. 1t always is.
Prices are not inflated here and the
steady growth insures good business.
I'VE don't look for any great excite
ment this fall in real estate circles but
we do look for a good healthy move
ment Walla Walla is good town.
1t is the best on the coast for real
estate and there will be things doing
here in few months"

WALLA WALLA
BETTER TOWN
GREATER OPPORTUNITIES HERE
THAN IN SEATTLE, SAYS r.
c. MCLEOD.

r. c. Mcleod. editor of The Up-to-
the-Times, who has spent the past
week on the Sound returned to Walla
Walla yesterday.
According to Mr.. Mcleod Walla
Walla offers better opportunities for
real estate investment today than does
Seattle In speaking of conditions
there he said:
Seattle is certainly wonderful city
and the amount of building and i'm
prOvements now going on there is tru-
ly marvellous, but it is generally con-
coded there that real estate has
reached the top notch, at least for
some time to come. Banks there, will
not loan money On real estate at any
where near it's estimated value.
\ " Can Seattle keep up the pace?' is
the common query among business
people there. At present in addi-
ton to large business blocks, there
are some SO or 20 large apartment
houses going up. Money seems no OBJ
ject to the builders of these houses.
Work is rushed day ard night and
Sunday, wOrkmen being paid double
time for working on Sunday. While
the amount of building being done is
enormous, it is needed to support the
prices at which Seattle real estate has
sold for the past six months. The high
water mark was reached some three
months ago, however. and no marked
increase has been shown since.
Sill, thousands of people have
bought high price real estate during
the past few months and the greater
part of these buyers We're spectators.
Many of them, I believe, will not be
able to let their money lay idle in the
property they purchased. Owing to the
larg amount of speculation through
which the city has recently passed, it
will certainly be unusually fortunate
if no backward movement sets in.
Seattle is great amusement city.
Last Sunday there We're 5000 people at
the races. 1000 at the baseball game
and thousands of others who took adj
vantage of the many excursions out
from Seattle, picnics and the amuse-
ments offered at the parks.
ITO an out of town visitor. it seems
strange to see from 5000 to 5000 sleek
and jovial sports living like princes
and gaining their livelihood entirely
from visitors at the race tracks. Even
ings the hotel Hobbies are filled with
these men, invariably dressed in the
heighth of fashion and flashing a
wealth of diamonds and jewelry.
1T strikes me that the small dealer
has but small show in Seattle
Rents there are almost prOhibitive to
anything except a large business. Then
too. the big stores have all of the
choice locations and carry enormous
stocks. Buildings which here rent for
from $40 to $50 per month, there rent
at $500 TO $500.
$50 far as l could learn, the man
with the small business was not re-
alizing from it as are men on an equal
footing in Walla Walla."

MAUDE FEALY

CHARMING ACTRESS SPRINGS
SURPRISE ON MAMMA AND
THEATRICAL PUBLIC.

/ Theater-goers of Walla Walla will
be interested to hear of the marriage
of Maude Fealy. who starred here
last winter in THE illusions of Be-
atrice," to Louis E. Sherwin, dramatic
critic of the Denver Republican.
The marriage according to report,
was a secret one and comes as a sur
prise and a disappointment to the
mother of Miss Fealy who had planned
great things for the talented ana
beautiful young actress.
1t is reported that the fond mamma
is furious and raging but it is all TOO
late to help now. 1t was mamma VINO
started her on her stage career. While
Maude was doing little stunts in Dem
yer she planned her career aid was
successful in carrying it out, until now
Maude has gone and spoiled it,"
To start her on her upward theatre
cal path, her mother had photo-
graphs taken of her which were really
works of art. With these she entered
Maud in an interna tional beauty con-
test held in Paris and Maude walked
away with easy honors.
Then the papers heard from mamma.
She flooded the country with pictures
of the lovely aspirant for stage hon
ors.
Then she fished for engagements for
the girl and landed one as leading lady
for Sir Henry Irving for short time,
next Maude supported William Gill
Iette, dramatist and actor. She was
engaged to Gillette, at least by re-
port So she was to several titled Fig
lishmen and wealthy Americans. But
she married Sherwin, dramatic critic
on the Republican, who is an Eng
lishman and has been on the Denver
paper but about year.
If the marriage doesn't change the
plans of those concerned, Miss Fealy
that was, will star III new play pre-
scented by John Cort, Calvin Heilig's
partner.
Walla Walla will welcome the tall
ented beauty even if she did marry
against mama's wishes. She is to APP
pear here again this season If she
goes back on the stage, which her
friends say is highly probable.
