have been just what was needed to

shape for the races.
Oakyille has always had a good
fair but this one seems to be better
than any of them. The farmers spent
some time in arranging to make the
livestock exhibits more interesting
than ever and the fine horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs and poultry shown are
being exhibited by the progressive
and enterprising farmers of that vi

new poultry building and additional
stock sheds to care for this feature of
the fair properly. The displays of

REAL ESTATE Is ACTIVE.
Finn & Durkee Report Sales Total
ling $4,000 in Last 30 Days.

Real estate sales in the city and
county totalling $40,500 are reported
by Finn & Durkee, local agents, to
have been made by them in the last
80 days, with several large deals said
to be pending, indicating that, so far
as this firm is concerned at least, ac-
tivity in local real estate has revived
considerably during the last few
weeks.
The success of this firm is all the
more remarkable in the fact that the
senior partner, M. H. Finn, came to
Olympia as total stranger a year
and half ago and in the interim has
been able to build up a big business
in competition with firms of long
standing. The list of sales by this
firm, as published in another part of
the paper, shows they handle a wide
variety of properties and are very
successful in disposing Of them for
their clients.
