che opening OF another waterway
on Commencement bay is being
taken mp by the Fife improvement
club and property owners along
Hylebos creek.
At a meeting of the Fife I'M

them believed that there were
three improvement districts on the
tideflats, one taking in Puyallup
river. a second for Wapato creek
and third for Hylebos creek.
They did not want the three
combined in a great s10,000,000

property owned by the little fell

1t is figured that $4,000 will

Is Bought by Ed link, Who Gets

Buy Again in County.

An instance Of the tremendous in
crease in the value of Marshall county
lard, sale that is above the average
in this respect, is shown by the sale
Of an eighty-acre farm northeast OF
the city by R. K Hoffert to Ed link.
The farm has just been purchased by
Mr.. link for $4,000, or 5000 an acre.
1t cost Mr.. Hoffert in February, 1905,
s112.50 an acre. Mr.. Hoffert paid So
600 for the farm and sold it for s16.-
600. His gross profit in five and one
half years on the increase in its value
was an even $1,000.
The farm is four miles northeast OF
the city on. the Nicholson ford road.
The increase in the value Of the land
during the time that Mr.. Hoffert has
owned it has amounted to $3.50 an acre.
The increase per acre per year has
been $3.50. or more than 10 per cent
per annum on the investment at the
rate of s112.50 per acre. The profit on
the land is almost entirely net, owing
TO the fact that Mr.. Hoffert says that
he does not think that the improve
ments he has put on 1t have cost over
$500.
The purchaser is to take possession
Of the farm next March. Mr.. Hoffert
does not know what he will do. but ex-
rects to remain in Iowa and may re-
main IN the county.
