Real Estate Pointers.

There is a lull in large real estate
operations at present. but it is sig
niticant that the number OF small
investors in realty is on the increase.
This fact is shown by the active sale
OF low priced properties in the out
lying tracts.
The small investor is wise to have
faith in real estate as secure place
for his savings. Money properly
handled in small properties will bring
a steady and higher rate of interest
than in many other lines of invest
ment. Moreover. money invested in
land and houses cannot disappear
the way it sometimes does in many
many financial schemes of unscrupu-
lOus promoters.
kennewick is filling up with shrewd
people from other lands, who, after
they are here a short time, learn the
wisdom OF purchasing a small piece
Of real estate and in IL few years
more are the owners If valuable
property.
The wise builder of IL house here
fitted up into modern flats would
make Il good investment. He finds
out what the taxes, insurance and
repairs amount to and the rent that
can be derived from the building. In
other words, he would have a struc-
ture that had proved ITS earning ca
pacity. A buyer OF property sho nd
consult d competent real estate law
yer before he passes papers"
Even in a s' all real estate trans
action the buyer who attempts to be
his own man of business in legal
mat ers generally commits a great
blunder. 1t is almost Impossible for
him, unaided, to ascertain what, if
any. liens are out -tandiny against
the estate. He may think he has
covered all the ground in his investi-
cations, only to discover later that,
owing to his neglect in having a
competent real estate lawyer look
up the deeds. liens, RESTRICT ions, etc,
he has some undesirable bills to pay,
which will add considerably to the
purchase price. Oftentimes lawsuits
may be caused by new owner be-
cause he did not know the exact lines
of his lot or lots, and there may be
Il controversy over mortgage securi.
ties that will take years OF litigation
to settle.
The small investor must keep a
sha p lookout on every detail con
cerning his real estate holdings. 1t
has taken him years OF hard labor to
accumulate Il few thousand dollars,
and he may lose it all thru Il mistake
in investment.
1t is wise plan for smallinvestors
to work Independently of Others

A Good Citizen.

Our idea of n good citizen is a man
who takes pride in his home town,
pays his honest debts, takes care OF
the yard and garden, speaks we'll of
his reighbOrS. reads The Courier,
and who won't squeeze every 25-cent
piece until the screams of the eagle
can be heard all over the country.
He will measure twelve inches to the
foot every way. weigh sixteen ounces
to the pound will battle and change
his shirt once every week anyway,
will see that his wife does not have
to use hedge fence for u clothes line
on break up ash barrels for fuel, and
should carry an account with the EX-
change Bank of Kennewick. This in
our Judgment sizes him up about
right.

these grafters have succeeded by
fraudulent means in obtaining thou
sands Of acres of timber land and in
securing conviction OF the men the
government expects to regain tracts
OF great size anu value. Ina number
of instances the offenders will be i'm

At Midnight and All But One Glass

Some Extent.

The Clarksburg Window Glass Com
pany will start up its plant at Adams
ton again tonight at midnight, that
is, blowing will be commenced there
again. The plant has six aatteners
at work, but no cutters. The com
pany is still seeking cutters. and, in
the event it fails to get them, it will
probably adopt the stock-sheet ship
ping plan.
Conditions are unchanged at the
Peerless. where IT is announced by
the management. operations are run
ming almost at full blast.
The West Fork plant is still shut
down. The management states that
the company is waiting to give the
strikers chance to return to work,

other steps VIII likely be taken next
week.
The Tuna besides it's blowers and
gatherers has three natteners and two
cutters at work.
The report published that eight
hatteners had quit work at the Laf-
ayette is pronounced untrue. No
nattencrs have left and the factory
has five working there. The eight
cutters at that plant have all stopped
work They did this. when they had
worked their notice out.
The blowers are all working at the
Lafayette and along with the flatten-
ers they will continue to operate the
factory it being the Intention to make
up the glass in stock sheets and send
1t out to market that way.
The Lafayette people also state
that it is not true that they received
an order for 5000 boxes at 40 and
25E off, but that they have nice or
der at the regular prices.
