the tract (who purchased their hold

residence of one year on the lands,
and the making of various improve
ments, The remaining lots were sold
six months later and can not obtain
patents until next February.
Practically without exception the
Alewa lot purchasers have complied
with the requirements, and with the
exception of upper lots to which good
roads have not been opened, every lot
is now occupied. The tract is now
one of the most attractive suburbs Of
the city, and through the efforts of
the Alewa Improvement Club it en-
joys all the advantages of first-class
roads, a splendid water system. gas,
electricity, telephones, market deliv-
