A Resident Expert.

During q visit to The Weekly Of
fee Tuesday, Congressman Gambler
stated that when his campaign with
the agricultural specialists was com
pleted, he intended to secure for
the First District resident expert
for estimating and fixing values on
open and timbered lands, for the
benefit of those who have occasion
to dispose of large tracts of such
real estate. He observed that when
a foreign purchaser appears he al
ways acts upon the advice of his
private expert. who by careful in
vestigation arrives at the actual
value Of the lands and often obtains
them at rediculously low figures
simply because the owner IS totally
uniformed as to the real value Of
his own property. This is am ex-
cellent movement by our vigilant
Congressman, and the query is,
what will be the next good thing
secured by him for his constituents?
