A NEAT LAND DEAL.

Land in this immediate vicinity is
already feeling the influence OF the
movement having for its end the con
struction of the East and West Okan-
ogan Valley Irrigation systems. ana
there is a steady upward tendency OIL
values. An example of this increase
in prices was sale made this week
by Floyd Wickersham to l.. f. Pour
tales of 80 acres for the neat sum or
S1O. 900. or at the rate of 1925 per acre.
II is true that il is Il piece of land well
in near town. a large portion OF which
can he made into orchard, but Mr..
Wickersham would have waited many
wears before he could have sold for
any such sum had it not been for the
nrospect of the carrying out of these
proposed irrigation projects. Every
acre chat is tilable is under the ditch
as il is to be constructed. 1t was al
most like finding $4,000, too. The
tract is at the foot of the steep rocky
mountain on the east side OF the Okan-
ogan river. less than a mile south of
town. Only some three years ago Mr..
Wickersham discovered that the odd
so was vacant. 1t was anything but a
choice piece of real estate at that
time and those who knew that it was
open looked upon it with disdaln. IN
a fortunate moment Mr.. Wickersham
decided to file homestead on the
tract. At that time he was single. lie
put up small house and settled on
his new possession. He made consid-
cradle improvements. and no one has
ever accumulated a homestead and
complied more closely TO the law as re-
cards residence. About a year ago he
committed on the land after resi-
dence of the required IA months, and
as payment of that we'll performed
duty he rakes in a small fortune. ~
good fellow is Mr.. Wickersham, and
this paper cOngratulates him upon his
wisdom in Selling the opportunity that
others had overlooked.
