GOOD TRADE IN
HOME SITES /
TREND OF REAL ESTATE MAR!
kET SHOWS THE PEOPLE
ARE COMING TO SPOKANE TO
SETTLE PERMANENTLY.

This is busy season for realty
dealers handling home property, a
trend of trade that carries happy
significance for all other lines OF
business and the city in general.
Practically everybody now buying
real estate, and buyers are not
scarce, are buying for the purpose
of building homes. Dealers rec
ords show it and the constant de-
mand upon the city hall for build
ing permits, water extensions and
street improvements adds an Of
fetal clincher to the development
of local residence property and
demonstration of the fact that peO-
pie come to Spokane to stay. Ma
turally there is an element of
speculation discernible now and
then, but it is of the sort that
easily classes as safe and certain
investment.
Instances picked up at random
from various dealers indicate how
sales are running. In Sparks ad-
dition 27 lots were sold during the
week for an aggregate of $3,460,
and six lots in Pipers addition to
East Spokane sold for $3.50. A
seven room house at Ego Fourth
avenue brought $2,750.
Five lots were sold in Spring
Hill addition for $500. The sale
of / other lots in that addition has
been made this week for $3,825.
Five acres at Opportunity sold for
$4,000.
In the meantime there is an UNI
usually favorable tone in business
property with not infrequent trans
fers.
The present is considered a
splendid time to buy, especially in
residence property. !

The woman made no protest

basin. Abe was the only one to
mature.
Every Saturday since Abe was
placed in the fountain, Charlie
Riley, the park gardener, has
drained the cement pool, cleaned
the basin and filed it with a supply
of fresh water. He has become a
close friend of Abe, observing the
habits of the wise old carp until
within the past year he has been
able to accomplish the incredible
feat of training Abe's piscatorial
intelligence.
Here are the things Abe does ev-
cry Saturday: Swim to Riley at

pool as Riley appears to drain the
basin; founder out of the water
upon the exposed cement when the
pool is partially drained swim
back and forth through a circle
made with Riley's thumb and fin
ger; spring from the water over
a stick held a few inches from the
surface; spring from the fountain
basin into Riley's hands held foot

says scornfully. why, Abe under
