II you Want Livery Team or Town
Lot, Meet Fred Specht.

| IL, IedueTS, you are looking 1Or
gilt-edged site to establish some busi-
ness in Notus, or for one of the most
desirable residence lots of the town,
| don't fail to examine the bargains in
these lines that Fred Specht has to
| offer. He has 40 choice acres, 20
acres plated, and which abut the o.
S. L. on the south, and 1t is on the
| south side of the railroad that the
railroad officials have determined to
build their depot in Notus. Conse-
quently the logical site for the new
| hotel that Notus needs is on the Specht
tract, and he, by the way, will make
inducements to have good hotel
| built in Notus which no hotel man
| looking for location can afford to
ignore. He will furnish site next to
the proposed depot on almost the pur-
| chaser's own terms. The Specht tract
of land is also the natural site on
which to erect warehouses of all kinds.
Lots 25x142 feet on this tract sell at
/ 75, and those 5Ox142 feet, at $3.50
each. This entire 40 acres is as level
as floor, is free from sagebrush and
alkali, and is at once pleasing to the
eye and wondrously productive-fruit,
grapes and berries prodigally produc-
ing. Seventy vines last year produced
1000 pounds of grapes out of which
100 gallons Of wine were made. Hence
/ for homes the Specht tract cannot be
surpassed, and everything considered,
can be equalled only in a very few
instances. One can buy from a rs
front foot lot to a five acres tract from
Mr.. Specht on terms that no honest,
Industrious man is too poor to accept.
A small payment down and the prop
erty is practically yours, and its rapid
increase in value or the revenue from
the crops the land produces will soon
wipe out the unpaid portion.
The Specht ranch, one mile west
Of Notus, embraces lis of as fine acres
as the heart Of the farmer or stock
man could wish. 1t Is all in cultiva-
ton, producing five tons of alfalfa
per acre, on an average 800 tons all
told, annually, an average yearly crop
of 40 bushels Of wheat per acre, 80
bushels of oats, and 800 bushels of DO
tatoes. And the people of this sec
ton are greatly indebted to Mr.. Specht
for what he has done and Is doing in
improving live stock in these parts,
especially in the horse line. His ranch
is stocked with some % highly bred
horses, mostly brood mares, and with
one stud in particular with a royal
strain of blood, Prince" a magnifi-
cent colt who is now about two
years old and weighing 1000 pounds.
His large and commodious
Livery and Feed Barn
Is one Of the recent acquisitions to
Notus of which the town is proud. 1t
is a $1,000 structure and is stocked
with splendid driving and saddle
horses, and new. attractive and easy
riding buggies. Reasonable prices pre-
vail. Mr.. Specht will drive home
seeking parties over all the country
side, If they desire a driver, and he
is admittedly one of the best posted
men on the adaptability, capability
and values Of the lands hereabouts.
A native of Germany, Mr.. Specht has
lived in the United States for II years,
and for nearly every day of this time,
in this very neighborhood. He is as
ambitious for the welfare of the town
as he is for his family, and every
movement for the upbuilding of Notus
and this section is invariably showed
along by the helping hand of the few
public spirited men In these parts of
the type of Mr.. Specht. He is a di-
rector of the State Bank of Notus, a
man universally liked by all who
know him, man home, health and
investment hunters will find it to their
advantage to meet, when visiting No
tus.
