LAND SALES INCREASING Is
REPORT OF LAND AGENTS

More sales and more inquiries for
land than at any time during the
winter are reported by the real es-
tate men of Greeley and vicinity for
last week. Following protracted
period of dullness the business has
opened up again in good shape and
it is expected that the stride started
within the past ten days will be kept
up during the entire spring and
summer.
Several lareg parties of land seek
ers from the middle west came into
Greeley last week on an inspection
of this section of the state. The
Denver-Laramie brought prospective
investors by the car load into north
ern Colorado and reports received
today are to the effect that large
number Of sales were made.
Local land men have been kept
busy and the feeling is general that
the backbone Of the lull has been
broken.
Various reasons are assigned for
the revival in business. The land
shows in the east last fall and win
ter are given due credit for the large
number of inquiries that are coming
in. and the activity that is promised
in the two large irrigation enter
prises In northern Colorado that
were temporarily suspended is con-
ceeded to be factor that will be a
