WILL DEVELOP THE
PROPERTY BOUGHT
Thirteen Thousand Dollars
Involved in Transfer
of Real Estate

Purchasing seven acres of the town
site of Two Rivers and securing an
or+ior on III acres more, a deal was
consumated today between Prof. l.. F.
Anderson and the Two Rivers Invest
ment company, whereby the former
became the owner of this piece OF
nronertv The deal has been pending
for some time and was held back
owing to the intricate work of OBJ
tanning an abstract.
The land procured by Professor An
derson was bought for the sum OF
$2250 and the balance, If purchased,
will be taken over for a consideration
OF $1,000.
This acreage does not include the
entire town site of the city of Two
Rivers as some speciah lots were re-
served in the sale but as it stands,
practically the whole place was OBJ
tanned in the transfer. A. B. Frame,
president of the Two Rivers Invest
ment company, made the deal, repre-
senting his company.
Professor Anderson secured this
land as an investment and because he
was able to obtain it for such re-
markably low price, it is probable that
he will devote his energies to build
ing it up and making a city. Situated
as it is at the mouth of the Snake
and bordering on the Columbia river,
the project is considered an excellent
one ara in the future, there will no
doubt grov out of this transfer, city
which vii. IN time, be a thriving one.

this would be wholly inadequate to

weeds and grass, and to see that the
provisions Of the same are complied
