way of rectifying the wrong, il it was
wrong. We do not wish to publish
erroneous items if we can avoid it.
1t is noted by realty dealers that
there is healthy advance in Delta city
property as well as county lands. This
advance will progress with the season.
Like advance Is pretty sure to hold good
under any circumstances but might be
checked somewhat should adverse crop
conditions occur, but this is considered
most unlikely. Up to date the outlook
Is fine for another bumper crop season.
while the numerous enterprises on foot
in Improvement lines are welding an
influence not heretofore felt.
