HAS
RUSH FOR HOUSES
All Vacant Residences Being
Filled; Auto Party to
Be Entertained.

A~lamOgOrdo, ". N, Aug. 16-NOt
since the days Of saw Mills and rail-
road shops has there been suCh a de-
mand for houses as is now on in this
city. For the past two weeks, in per-
son, by correspondence and thraugH
real estate agents there have R8a q
stream of inquiries for hOusesSfc be
occupied at once or about Septen-
Der l.
In many instances the parties, in or
der to secure the houses wanted, have
I purchased in order to make sure that
some one else would not get them For
the past few years, or since the mills
closed down. there has been an over
supply OF houses all parts
Of the city Many Of these have been
vacant for several years. others have
been occupied only for a short time,
while many have been allowed to go
to pieces and have become unfit for
habitatiOn.
The present demand is ENCOURAGING
to those interested in the city, and is TO
! some extent attributable to the opening
of the county high o here in Sep
TENDER Many of those securing houses
are citizens Of places elsewhere in the
county, who intend TO Ocate their fam
lies here for the schools. Another
/ reason for the demand is the revival OF
business conditions and the beginning
of the proper development Of the re-
sources of this section Another de-
mand is brought about by the advent OF
those who are in search of health and
have come mere for the climate.
