TWO DEALS AT HIGHLAND
IN FINE RANCH PROPERTY
Thirteen Acres Of Grapefruit and
NaveIs Sell for $22, 5oo-Thirty-
five Acres UnmproVed
for $4,000

epecial to The Herald
HIGHLAND, July 11.-Hot weather
is no bar to real estate deals, and two
sales of considerable magnitude have
been consummated here in the last
few days.
The first was the sale of thirteen
acres on Highland avenue belonging
to A. P. McGinnis to Samuel Roddick.
The property Was originally part of
the William Penn Rogers place. 1t is
set to seedless grapefruit and navel
oranges just coming into profitable
bearing. There are no buildings on the
property, and as Roddick owns a
home on East Main street, it is doubt
full If he will build upon his new ac-
QUESTION. The exact price paid has
not been given out, but it is known
to have been held at $22, 800. The loca-
ton is among the best in Highlands,
and the property is in excellent con-
dition.
Another deal, involving more acres,
but unimproved except a we'll and
pumping plant, has just been agreed
upon. A transaction in real estate is
never certain until the papers are
passed, but there is no apparent rea-
son for a hitch in this.
The property to be transferred Is
the Cunningham place on Highland
avenue, short distance west of Pat
ton, consisting of thirty-five acres
The purchasers are the West High
lands Water company, and the price
is said TO be $4,000.

CARLOS HEIGHTS IS
SOLD FOR $233, 900
LARGE SUBDIVISION PASSES
TO LOCAL SYNDICATE
Buyers of Slightly Tract VIII Erect
Fine Dwellings and Place the
Lots on the Market
Immediately

In summer when realty is usually
dull and inactive to witness the con-
summation of one of the largest deals
In the history of the community proves
beyond doubt that the movement of
real estate In Los Angeles is stable and
sure at all times of the year and peri
DDS of seeming depression. The entire
acreage of the Carlos Heights subdivis-
ion, on San Vincent boulevard, adjoin-
Ing Brentwood Park, has been sold to a
local syndicate for a stated considera-
ton of 1898, 1000.
The property was sold by Tracy c.
Drake, the grantor, and consists of
sixty-three acres, subdivided into 155
lots, The purchasing syndicate includes
among its number some or the original
promoters of the Palisades subdivision
in Santa Monica, it is said, but names
are withheld.
The Carlos Heights subdivision is
considered one of the slightest tracts
in Southern California. The distance
from Los Angeles is just far enough to
be free from the noise and disturb
ances OF traffic, and 1t is said to be
an ideal tract for beautiful suburban
homes.
The buyers will erect at once four
fine residences on the land purchased
and will place the lots on the market.
Owing to the close proximity to Los
Angeles, the ride from the center of
the city to Carlos Heights subdivision
consumes but thirty minutes
The deal was made through the
agency of w. B. Merwin & Co.

VERY Favorable to A. Kaiser.

The Crookston Times of Saturday
contained the following mention of
the candidacy of A. Kaiser for dele
gate to the republican national con-
vention as a representative of the
Ninth Congressional district:
There has been no developments
in the fight for delegates from this
district to the national convention.
The candidacy of A. Kaiser, of Bag
ley, is meeting with much favor and
there is no doubt but that he will
make strong race for delegation
honors. He is especially strong in
the north end of the district and it
is more than likely that no candidate
will make strenuous effort to. dis
lodge him. He is man we'll known
in party circles and his character is
such as to make hime a most fitting
representative of the district. Per-
sonally, he has not sought the honor,
but has been brought out by promi-
nent men in the district, who urged
him to permit the use of his name.
He is a man who will represent the
sentiment of the party in this section
of the district

oficiated as referee in two games of
basketball in which teams from
Fosston and Bagley participated.
The girls first team of the Bagley
high school played the second girls
team of the Fosston high school, the
result being a score of 10 to 7 in
favor of Bagley. The game was
closely contested and excit n e
throughout.
The second boys team also played
a game. The contest was extremely
one-sided, the Fosston boys winning
by score of rs to 1. ..-.

satisfactory. -. -..r.

OF Fire Unknown.

Fire, which was discovered at
o'clock this morning, badly damaged
the building owned by the Hamm
Brewing company, and occupied by
J. H. Sullivan as a saloon, on the
corner of Minnesota avenue and
Second street, and also scorched
the adjoining building which was
occupied by James Thurston, who
also conducted saloon.
The alarm of fire was turned in
at 3 o'clock, and when the fire
was discovered it was burning
briskly in the upper floor of the
Sullivan building, and had gained
such Roadway that although the
fremen responded promptly and
did good work, they were unable
to stop the flames before big damage
was done to the structure. s.,
A crowd=soon assembled in front
of the building and willing han DIS
speedily removed large amount of
the stock of liquor and cigars
which was in both buildings.

THE NORTHWEST Is MORE
PROSPEROUS THAN SOUTH
A. White, President LumDermens National Bank Has
Just Returned from South, Where, He Says Bust.
ness Is at StandstilI.

The northwestern states, and
especially Minnesota, have reason
to be proud of the fact that
this section of the country is in a
most prosperous condition; and
when compared with the middle
south and southern states, the con.
ditions are great deal better. In
fact, the south is stagnant when
compared to the north.'
The above statement is made by
A. P. White, president of the Lum
mems National Bank who has re-
turned from a visit to points in
Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and
Louisiana.
Mr.. White, while away, visited
Fort Smith. Ark, Oklahoma City,
Okla; Texarfanas, Texas, and
Shreveport, La, in all of which
places he transacted business.
L could not help but notice the
vast difference in the business
conditions of the south and the
NORTH" said Mr.. White. Especially
is this true in the lumber business,
which is one of the chief industries
of that part of the south where
visited. The business is simply
stagnant in the SOUTH, prices are
away off, and many mills have been
closed down entirely; and, moreover,
there appears to be no immediate
relief from the existing conditions,
and I do not think that condi-
tons, will be, normally, as good as
they were a year ago within the
next year or year and a half. In
fact, business of every kind is at
standstill in the south.

over the state and has not met a
defeat this year. Our boys were
much younger and lighter than the
Bemidji team and had had less prac-
tice. Floyd Brown, formerly of this
city, is the lightest man on the
Bemidji team and they are very
speedy. Frank Andrews played
the star game for Brainerd. The
boys say the Bemidji team knows
how to treat an opposing team as
we'll as how to beat them and that
they were entertained royalty while
in that city. The final score was
81 to E and our boys feel that
they did we'll to score against so
strong team. The first half was
"a to 2 and score of SO to 4 was
made in the last half. The halves
were of 20 minutes each.
Fosston Thirteen Towns: The
high school basketball people who
returned from Bemidji Sunday morn
ing are loud in their praises of the
treatment given them while in that
city. In fact they claim that there
is little satisfaction in defeating such
courageous and kindly people as
faced them on Friday and Saturday
evenings last. The boys won by a
good margin because they excelled
in the team work. The Bemidi il
boys individually are hard, clean
players. The girls won by the mar
row margin of two points only by
playing off tie which was secured
within ten seconds of the end of the
second half. Throughout both
games there was not dispute or jar
of any kind. Very few fouls were
called and these we're due to acct
dent and not to intention. The Be-
midi boys and girls remained up
with our teams till their train
arrived at 3 o'clock A. NJ, entertain
ing team with refreshments, singing,
instrumentals and dancing."
The real reason for Mr.. Frey's
attitude lies in the fact that he and
his team we're greatly disappointed
in not literally Swiping up the
earth" with the big Bemidg" team,
which is located in a small city
among the northern pines.
However, we are still of the be-
lief that if Brown is in good ply
steal condition, the locals can de-
feat the Duluth team-and what is
more to the point, the writer will
wager good money with Fred that
Bemidji will win if the tie is played
off here, as it should of been.

THE GOVERNOR WILL NOT
MAKE ANY STATEMENT"
At Least, His North-C Country Friends
Are Confident that He Will
80 Not do so.

: The Minneapolis Journal of Satur-
day contained the following CON-
ment on the efforts which are being
put forth by certain interested
parties to induce Governor Johnson
to make statement" which some
of the twin city papers seem to
think is essential to the peace of
mind of the states chief executive,
and which would undoubtedly re-
lieve the editorial writer's on the
aforesaid papers of considerable
raw material" on which they have
been making guesses for consider
able period heretofore:
Somehow or other the impression
has gone over the country that
John A. Johnson is going to make
a statement soon that will put him
definitely in the race for president.
In the case of a good many Demo-
cratic politicians, the wish is father
to the thought. With some news
papers, it has been an effort to call
the turn by making a good guess.
The only foundation for such
story is that Johnson has decided
that some further statement of his
position is necessary. All forecasts
as to what that statement will be
are guesses, pure and simple, but
the best guess is that Johnson will
once more declare that he is not a
candidate for any nomination, and
does not expect to be-; that he has
done nothing and will do nothing to
encourage the use of his name"
North-counrty friends of the gov
ernor do not believe that he will
make any statement whatsoever; in
fact, a party who was in Bemidji
yesterday stated that he had been
with Governor Johnson on Friday,
and he was certain, from converse
ton he had in the executive cham
Der that the articles as to a 8 state
ment' were entire.y without any
foundation, in fact; that the COVER
nor was pursuing the ecen tenor Of
his way and allowing the politi-
clans and newspapers to speculate
to their hearts content.
