LaFollette Returns From East

| chards, and the fruit will be total
| failure in practically all the eastern
and middle states. Not only did the
| frost kill the fruit buds, but heavy
fall of snow coming when the trees
were in full leaf, broke down many
trees. Mr.. La Toilette, who was
for fourteen years the principal or
chardist of the Inland Empire, says
that this loss of the eastern crop
will assure a market for western
fruit and will add thousands of dol
lars to it's value.
En- route home Mr.. La Toilette
stopped off at Great Falls, Monta-
ma, where he saw many of the Pull
man colony located there, some be-
ing well satisfied with the condi-
ton of affairs there, while others
were disguised and ready to quit
the game. In the latter class is Joe
Morris, who had drilled down $50
feet in a search for water on his
homestead location put was unable
to find moisture. Morris will sell
the improvements he has made, and
look for a more satisfactory loca-
ton elsewhere, although he does
not contemplate an immediate re-
turn to Pullman.
Fred Young had not yet bought
property when Mr. La Toilette left,
but had couple of nice tracts in
view, and expected to close up for
one soon.
Marion Spawn and Walter Bay
miller are associated with Chas Cole
man in the conduct of real estate
business at Great Falls, and are pros
pering in the enterprise.
Mr.. La Toilette reports a heavy
westward movement from the east,
solid trains of home seekers coming
daily, Montana claiming heavy
proportion because of the larger area
of open government lands still
available in that state to home
stead entry.

RoI. johnson Dead.

Rol. Johnson, of ColfaX, died at
the home of DR.. Mcguire, his broth
er-in-law, in this city, yesterday
morning, from complications follow
ing an operation for appendicitis. He
was operated upon at ColfaX several
weeks ago for the disease, but did
not gain strength or health as rapid
ly as usual in such cases, and was
recently removed to this city, and
for a time it was believed he was
on the road to recovery. Complica-
tons developed suddenly yesterday
morning, however, and death fol
lowed at about ten o'clock.
Mr.. Johnson was about 20 years
of age, and was one of the most pop
ular and likable young men of Col
fax, where he was engaged in the
wood and coal business. On July 18th
last, he was married to Miss Mamie
Mcguire, sister of DR.. Mcguire, and
the widowed bride has universal
sympathy.

Selecting Occur dAlene Lands

Chas. Vollmer, holder of number
| 50, and Carl Gerdng, whose num-
Der is 1873, left Wednesday for the
Occur d'Alene Indian reservation to
put in a week looking at the various
| claims on the reservation so that
| they can make intelligent selections
when their numbels are called on
May 4th. They will be accompanied
| by John Gerding, who will act as
expert witness on land values, and
as Interpreter in introducing the boys
to their red skin neighbors. "
The agricultural lands on the
| Occur d'Alene reservation have been
appraised at from $1.25 to Sc 80,
but only ga claims are graded as
first class agricultural land at the
higher figure. The second class lands
are priced at from So. so to IS. so,
and much of that that comes within
The classification contains consider
able timber. The timber claims are
appraised as high as 81. so per acre.
Paul Abendroth, who holds num-
Der rs, has made a couple of trips
to the reservation, and has num-
Der of claims under consideration,
one especially upon which he says
he will file if it is still open when
his number is called. 1t is expected
that the lower numbers will take
the choicest of the timber claims, but
the better agricultural lands are
much sought, as the timber lands
while very valuable as investment,
will not return living during the
homestead period.
1t is expected that the Pullmanites
who will file will get much better
claims than their numbers indicate,
as only about forty per cent of the
winners in the drawings file when
they are called.

INCREASE IN FARM LAND,
Scott Getchell Sells the Fred Young
Farm Near Pullman for S1O5
Per Acre.

A striking example of the rapid in.
crease in farm values and prices
was given this week when Scott
Getehell sold the Fred Young farm
of 1876 acres, located just west OF
town, to C. II. Barclay, of Thornton,
at sos per acre.
Mr.. Getchell bought this farm OF
Mr.. Young the middle of February,
paying 500 per acre at that time,
o that he cleaned up just 1926 pro-
fit through holding the property
sixty days. IN
Following the sale of this farm
Mr.. Getchell bought the 800 acres
owned by Mrs. Hattie Myers, about
ten miles southwest, near the
breaks of Snake river, paying sos
per acre. This farm is not so well
improved as the Young farm, and
is much further from Pullman, hence
the wide difference in value.
