BUSYA7 THE NEW TOWN
Property Now Seiing Rapidly in the
Heighborhood of tho Proposed
New Town of Dayton

Do you know what Is going on in
other parts OF the Twin Lakes valley?
For the past year people from Ohio and
Kansas have been buying heavily OF
lands lying south and north OF the
Boston farm. The Ohio people have
purchased 1896, 900 worth OF land lying
west and south OF the Boston farm
headquarters and two of the wealth.
est men Of Dayton, Ohio, have plated
a townsite called Dayton, which Is
just Cne mile west of the Boston farm
headquarters, and they have been
selling lots and doing the preliminary
work necessary to opening new
town.
The town is widely advertized in
the Missouri Pacific railroad bulletin
and inquiries are coming In from all
parts OF the country.
The Kansas people have purchased
1929, 900 worth OF land lying just north
and east Of the t0wnsitc and number
OF two-story houses will be built on
these lands this spring. An alfalfa
meal mill and Il canning factory will
be built. The site has been examined
by some Dayton. Ohio. capitalists
with the view OF erecting sugar
factory. A hotel company is being
organized with a capital Of $3.50
This building will suon be started.
There are one hundred and iifty
fye-acre orchard and garden tracts
being sold south Of the townsite and
all the land north Is being cut into
twenty-acre farms. This insures
thickly settled country and nothing Is
better for a town than thickly set
tied country. Many n small town Is
held back by the land being In the
hands OF so few people.
1t Is not the object of the promoters
to make any money out of the sale "f
lots but they will make their money
In the land surrounding the townsitc,
as they have invested SI25,0OO In the
land Immediately adjoining the town
site.
A. great many eastern people that
bought land with the view OF locating
are waiting until the opening Of the
townsitc to move. The opening will
be conducted on the draw plan follow
ed by an auction sale, and will attract
people from all over the country.
There are In all $40 lots in the town
site, over half OF which have been
sold: the other half will be sold in Il
very short time The opening will
take place just as soon rs the lots are
all sold, which will be this spring.
The number Of people this opening
will bring to this valley will help
every acre nf land in the valley. There
are lots OF farmers in OtcrO county
that do not have any idea OF what
there Is along the line Of the Missouri
Pacific railroad, and this opening will
draw thousands here on that day. IL
should interest every land owner un-
der the Twin Lakes water system.
It's good thing and Is being pushed
along by the best class OF people In
the country.
