Mr.. Dalton received an envelope

MONTHLY MEETING OF
 HIGH SCHOOL BOARD
The First Payment on the ventiIating System Held Up.

The regular monthly meeting of the Union High school board was held at the High school building Monday even ing Not great deal of interest was done for the matters of the school are now in such shape that the work of the regular meetings consists almost solely of the auditing and payment of the regular bills. This was done as usual Monday evening and in addition the final payment to the Los Angeles firm who put in the ventilating system was held up.
 The reason of this action is the fact that the company failed to put in the motor for the system as provided in the contract. The motor installed is of 210 voltage instead of 110 as speci- fled in the contract. The motor is con sequently of no service to the High school as the voltage used here is not that high. Pending the readjustment of this difficulty the board will hold onto the final payment.

\ RAPID INCREASE
 PROPERTY VALUES
Illustrated By the Sale of Some Town
 Lots Yesterday.

r Dr. R. L. Alexander yesterday made small real estate deal which finished up a transaction he made a year ago. Though small. the deal is a splendid example of the remarkable increase in property values here recently.
 The deal closed yesterday was the sale of 70 feet on the west side of Mill avenue, between the bid Col. Sel- lars house and the Ellingsen corner to J. ". Branch of Phoenix. MT. Branch purchased the property for the purpose of erecting upon it a studio and photograph gallery. He lost no tipfe-in getting to- work and no sooner had the deal been closed yesterday than the first load of lumber was haul ed to the ground Work on the build ing will be commenced at once and it will be finished in a few weeks.
 The sale of the forty feet takes in l, the last of a parcel of 125 feet pur chased by pr. Alexander just a year ago. The selling price yesterday was s22.50 per front foot. A year ago the doctor purchased the property for $1s.65. He improved it by putting in a cement walk and a few months ago sold most of it to Mrs. De Hart. The balance, sold yesterday. brings the sell ing price for the entire block of lots up to s2s.50 showing a gross profit of s11.S5. Deducting from this the cost of the side walk. interest and taxes. the doctor clears nearly a thousand dollars on the the deal. That is easy money for years time and illustrates nicely the fact that there ia no place where man can make a small invest ment and get as good returns in his money In so short a time.
