BIG DEAL IN REAL ESTATE
Famous LeClerc Ranch Sold to
Spokane Man.
$4,000 for Eight Hundred Acres

One of the largest realty deals ever
negotiated in this section was consum-
mated this week when VIM. Merry
weather, of Spokane, purchased the Le'
Clerc ranch. The property is situated
on the east bank of the Pend Orellle
river, opposite Jared station on the L. q
w. N, and is about 30 miles from New
port.
The ranch was the property of the Le-
Clerc brothers, Napoleon, Felix and Ar
son. and consists of 800 acres of timber
and agricultural lands 1t is one Of the
beauty spots along the Pend Orellle.
About 400 acres are in cultivation, the
balance being heavily timbered. The
sale price is $4,000, which includes all
personal property and crops on the
place.
The LeClerc brothers have been res
idents OF the valley tor nearly 80 years.
They have worked hard to improve their
place and several years ago built dixie
to keep out the food waters of the Pend
Orellle, which was the first attempt at
diking in the valley and which proved to
be successful. Their land has been
wonderfully productive of hay and grain
and while they have not gone into
orcharding to any extent they have a
family orchard on the place, which pro-
duces elegant apples and other fruits.
The life of the LeClerc brothers in the
valley has been intimately connected
with the development of the country.
Their home has long been famous locally
as seat of hospitality and they are
deservedly popular with all the people.
Napoleon, through his long experience
as Captain of river steamers is best
known to the people and no more &C.
comodating man ever served the public.
Their many friends are glad to see their
labor OF years substantially rewarded
and hope that they will continue to
make their home in this section.
The purchaser, Mr.. Merryweather,
has for some years been manager of the
real estate department for the firm of
McCrea and Merryweather, of Spokane.
While his plans are not made public it
is understood that he will make his
home on the ranch and further it's de-
velopment.
The sale indicates the value that
Pend Oreille valley lands are reaching in
the public eye and recognition that
this section is beginning to attract the
attention of investors and men who have
the means and faith to forward develop.
