PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 5.-The
realty board held a meeting in the
chamber of commerce on the sec
ond floor Friday. Instead of the
usual dinner and speech making
program the board had a mock
meeting of realty exchange which
took the form of school, and the
brokers were initiated into the
methods employed by the realty
selling exchanges in the large east
ern cities.
An experienced auctioneer mount
ed the platform and each broker,
having been supplied with 100000

The present intention of the
realty board is to conclude arrange
ments at it's March meeting for

Nearly 10000 acres of volcanic
! ash land in the Washtucna valley
about so miles west of Spokane or
the Spokane, Portland & Seattle
railroad, is being placed under
water by the Palouse Irrigation &
Power Co. of this city, with a view
to converting it into one of the
most productive winter apple re-
giOns of the whole Inland Empire
A fertile layer of volcanic ash soil
lies to the depth of approximately
rs feet throughout the valley, just
below a point at which the govern
ment planned to build series OF
large storage reservoirs several
years ago.
In spite of the richness of the val
ley and it's adaptability to the rails,
ing of fruit and garden truck, the
government gave up the project
which was to have watered in all
nearly 10000 acres of land. because
of the tremendous expense that
would necessarily be involved. The
company now promoting the prof
ect has already placed several hun.
dred acres of the valley land under
water by gravity system of irri-
cation, and surveys recently COM
pleted show that practically the en-
tire valley can be watered in the
same manner The altitude of the
valley ranges from $50 to 100 feet.
Fifty or SO acres of the valley
have already been set to apple or
chard that are in bearing, and a
large percentage of the late settlers
there are planning on entering into
the chicken. dairying and bee rails
Ing industry while the new or
chards are maturing.
One of the finest nurseries in the
whole country has ben established
near the center of the valley and
the settlers are procuring their sup
plies of fruit trees from this at the
rate of about Is cents each for the
saplings.
On all sides of the valley. wheat
raising is carried on extensively

The north side residence dis
tricts of Spokane are enjoying the
heaviest boom, and apparently the
most development of all sections of

This is according to information

that almost rs per cent of the total

VAST NURSERY
FOR KENNEW|CK

KENNEWICK, Wash, Feb. s.
Foreseeing that the nurseries in
this part of the country will be I'M
able to supply the demand for
fruit trees that will come with the
development of the thousands of
acres that have been sold in the
Columbia river valley, the Van
Holderbeke Nursery company is
preparing to open a nursery here
that will accommodate 3,OOO,O 900
trees.
The company has SO acres on the
highlands just west of the city, half
OF which was used as a nursery last
year, the other half having been re-
Gently purchased. A force of men
are now at work grating scions to
the roots of thousands of apple and
peach seedlings for the new nurs-
cry. One planter has just taken the
contract for planting 10000 trees
this spring. 1t is estimated that
hundreds of acres of sagebrush
land will have been set to orchards
by next fall.

DAMAGED
WALLA WALLA
WHEAT
Nearly so Per Cent of Grain
in Lower End Of Valley to
be ReSeeded.

WALLA WALLA, Feb. 5.--Wheat
in the Walla Walla valley has been
badly damaged by the freeze of this
week, according to the farmers of
the valley who are in a position to
state authoritatively the prospects.
The first freeze, during which
there was protracted cold weather.
did little damage on account of the
protection given the grain by the
snow. In some places in the lower
end of the valley, however, 1t is
said the snow did not lie heavily
enough to protect the wheat even
from the first freeze. The cold
weather of last week, however, took
the grain in the lower end of the
valley unprotected by snow and
there will be reseeding of about so
per cent of the grain in that part
of the country.
BLUEsTEM WORST HURT
Bluestem suffered worse than
any other of the grains, and this
variety Is said to have been given a
death blow that will require new
seed in the Eureka and Baker Flats
vicinities. Jenkins club is said to
have been badly damaged, although
not so much as was bluestem.
Fortyfold and turkey red were I'M
scathed. In the districts imme-
diately surrounding the city there
has been some damage, although
it has not been heavy, as there
was some snow. In the foothill dis
tricts there was no additional dam
age to that caused by washing out
on hillsides in the recent thaw.
Grain had just begun to show
through the ground, and urged by
few days of warm weather the ten
der shoots were in prime condi-
ton for deadly work by frost. The
ground was soft and the action of
the cold turned the soil and worked
the roots out where they are badly
exposed.
UPPER END OF VALLEY IN
GOOD CONDITION
From all indications it appears
that only the lower end of the
valley was reached by the cold, and
that the upper end is in good condi-
ton. However, a well known au-
thority on grain conditions said to-
day:
1T is all guess work so far. Moth
ing can be definitely learned as yet
and while it is probable that there
has been some damage done l do
not believe it is enough to cause
reseeding in any part of the valley.
These pessimistic reports are sent
out every time it is cold enough to
cause frost, but ~ they are more
scares than anything else"

city, Mr.. Bowles said, when asked
from whence the majority of the
settlers CT the north side are com.
ing. "Of course, there are many
families moving from different
parts of the city, and | have been
impressed for some little time with
the inclination that seems to be
somewhat general even with these
to go to the north side. Most of
them are going clear out on the
north hill.
MANY RETIRED FARMERS.
"Of those coming in from the
country, it Is safe to say that the
largest percentage are retired
farmers, and it seems that the
greatest number of those coming
here from the eastern states are
tradesmen and professional men
coming here to work and to buy
homes. The trend of the moving
started to the north hill last fall,
and has been rapidly increasing
ever since.
"The influx of eastern people
into Spokane is also increasing ran
idly week after week, and from all
present indications conditions will
continue indefinitely"

LITTLE MONEY IN COMMITS
SIONS.

More attention than ever is be-
ing turned by the investors to sub
urban and country property at the
present time and the condition is
not likely to be marked with any
considerable change until the late
spring, some of the dealers say,
Cause for the suppressed condition
of affairs is matter for conjec-
ture among the agents. Many OF
them declare that there is but lit
tie money in making real estate
transactions on per cent com.
mission basis any longer.
COMPANIES MULTIPLYING.
This is believed to be due to the
rapid multiplication of real estate
concerns in the city, among which
the business of the community is
being divided. Talks with both
large and small real estate agencies
throughout the city show that many
large deals are pending, but that
they are unable to close them and
they are depending upon small
deals almost exclusively.
