FACTS ON REALTY
TOLD IN BOOKLET
Advantages of Washington
Set Forth by William F.
MatteSon.

Fresh from the press this week has
come what IS said TO be one Of the
most attractive booklets descriptive and
illustrative OF Washington and Wash
ington real estate which has ever been
issued in this city. 1t was compiled
by William F. Matteson. the suburban
his direction by II. A. COIman. Il is
entitled Connecticut Avenue Highlands,
Cathedral Highlands. Richmond Park"
The cover design IS in five colors. and
is symbolic of riches reaped from in
vestment in Washington realty. The
foreword gives a brief history OF the
rapid growth OF Mr.. MattesOn's bust
ness. tracing il from its inception in a
modest way four and a half years ago.
The book itself begins with a history
or the city OF Washington, carefully
worked out, accurately told and enter
tRiningly written. Interesting figures
relative 20 the growth IN value Of To-
cal realty are included, showing that the
assessed value had grown from SO. s91,-
SH. IN lS7l. 10 S2l5,5S0.774, IN 100 An
Increase OF over 500, 90 Is shown in
the last nine years.
Mr.. Tatteson deduces from these fig
Ures, and from the fact that this IS the
Capital OF the Nation. that real estate
investments here are absolutely stable
and that values are bound steadily TO
increase.
The book Is eIaboratesy Illustrated
with half-tons eugravin2s, pOrt-aying
the chief public buildings. the best
known residences, parks, and other
places Of interest in the District Con-
necticut Avenue Highlands, Richmond

cessfuIIy handled, and which are now
known as important residential Sec
tians, are pleasingiy described and IL

BARGAIN IN LAND,
UNCLE SANS OFFER
Parcel of 100000 Acres
Must Be Disposed of
at Once.

Uncle Sam has found II necessary 10
go into the bargain sale business in
order to dispose Of a shop worn"
parcel of 1,50O.O acres Of land in Utah
and Montana. according TO information
obtained al the Department Of the In
terror today.
He took the lands of the hands OF
the Uinta and Crow Indians in 1905
and promised to pay the Indians for
them as soon as they- were sold of 10
homesteaders- The original terms OF
sale. however. failed 10 attract any
homeseekers. and now that the Indians
are clamoring for their money, II is
explained, Uncle sam Is Offering them
for sale with the provision that, neither
residence nor cultivation on these lands
VIII be required"
The announcement mat such apparent
bargains were being offered by Uncle
Sam has brought forth considerable pro-
test by citizens who assert that this
method is directly IN opposition To the
conservation movement
Officials Of the Land Office reply that
hOmeseekers have not entered the lands
and that IL is up to the Government to
satisfy the Indians The Secretary Of
the Interior will sell rne hOmesteads 10
the highest bidders at auction sales -
be held at Billings, Mont. and at Provo.
Utah, on october Is and November !,
respectively.
According TO the law no person can
purchase over 60 acres. and he must
swear that he does not intend 10 Dur
chase with a view Of selling out 10 q
corporation or syndicate. The minimum
prices are 80 cents per acre for Uinta
and s. an acre for the Crow lands The
average sale, ii IS expected by the de-
partment, will be somewhat above these
figures.
