REAL ESTATE NEWS and
NOTES Of BUILDING
Getting Over the War Scare, and
Business Shows Very Much
Improvement.
MONEY Is MORE PLENTIFUL
Richmond Realty Is Always Worth
Its Face Value, and Folks Are Not
mt All Afraid to Invest-Their
Substance In 1t.

There is no kind Of doubt that the
financial condition, both locally and
generally. is getting In much better
shape. The real estate men have been
9quietly waiting for just this thing
that is to say, easing up of the
money market
The money market cascd up consid-
erably about the first of last week. II
is true that the bankers and the money
lenders are not In great hurry to
make such an announcement as that
indicated above. but, all the same, 1t Is
true that IL Is much easier to borrow
money for legitimate purposes this
week than 1t was last week.
This kind of thing gave the real
estate agents and the apeculators in
the real estate line a little something
to go upon. and good deal OF bust
ness was done during the week
II must be said that the most of
the business that was done was out IN
the suburbs. Ii Is true. however, tina [
two or three right nice little deals
were made down In the business sec
ton OF little old. solid old Richmond.
am In honor. bound not TO give away
Home OF the facts and figures and de
tails OF some of the deals that ] have
heard about. but did not compromise
myself very much in making that kind
OF promise, for the court records will
always tell the story.
The fact Is that the greater part OF
the real estate deals within the past
month show that industrial work was
at the bottom OF all of the deals The
transfers SO far reported show that
the industrial development was right
In the forefront, and much of this In
dustrial development was In the
suburbs of Richmond. The suburban
ties. however, are nightly afraid OF
their shadow. and they will not talk
much until they hgure bit on the
latest real estate values I'm the newly
acquired territory. They arc doing "A
good deal OF figuring in an Inexpensive
way. In the course of time. they may
figure a little otherwise.
There are reports of q great many
deals in the suburbs. especially the
suburbs to the north. the territory that
IL very soon to be a part OF Greater
Richmond. but the signed-up deeds arc
mot forthcoming.
II lis fact. however. that good
deal OF business is being done in that
part OF the rural region that is very
soon to be very noticeable part Of
the Greater Richmond.

great deal. in farm lands I'm this part

unfrozen in the center of the block.
The ice was then finely ground and
centrifugalized to extract the syrup
from the ice.
The process reduces the weight Of
the product to one-fourth it's origi-
nal weight, thus greatly reducing the
cost Of transportation.
Fermentation occurs but very little,
due to the process of concentration,
and the juice can be shipped long dis
tances without a preservative and
without danger of the container burst
ing.
A pleasing feature of the exper.
ment is that the original app, fla
vor is retained through the concen'
tration and during the freezing In
fact the concentrated product is as
stable as the apples themselves Ii
kept at low temperature the fru!'
juice will retain its original flavor
for prolonged periods.

CAPT. CHAMBERLAIN
DEAD IN CALIFORNIA

10 years commander at the Idaho
soldiers home soldier who served
with distinction in the civil war and
a man prominent in the G. A. r. cir
cles in this state died Wednesday
morning at 8 o'clock at Modesto, Cal,
his death being caused from the ef-
fects of the paralytic strokes suffered
by him prior to resigning as COM
mander of the home at Boise some
years ago.
During the civil war he was men,

Boise to take command of the home
resided at Lewiston. He is survived
by his wife and one son, Horace
Chamberlain, who is an attorney at

Regardless Of the promises of the
Democrats that they would not In
jure any established American indus
try, sugar will cease to be produced
in this country after next year.
Two factories in this state will not
operate the coming season and have
caused all land which they own to be
sown to grain. The very large world
crop Of 1928 SO reduced the mar
gin of profit in beet sugar that only
our most fortunate factories made
any money in 1918, and it is said
that another large crop is in sight.
This would not Of itself cause any
factory in. this state to close down,
but with certainty Of closing after
this year two of our factories have
concluded to quit. The others will
continue in the hope that the - free
sugar provision Of the tariff will be
repealed. With the cost Of beet
sugar from 50 to Is cents above that
Of imported cane sugar-both re
fined-the continuance Of beet sugar
production is impossible. The Louis
lana cane sugar industry is also ruined
and Hawaiian sugar companies have
ceased paying dividends in order to
be able to pay debts when the crash
comes. ...-
This is a veritable disaster. Oul
beet sugar industry has been one Of
the most potent factors in improving
our methods Of agriculture, now &C
knowlcdged to be a matter Of State
and National importance. It Is only
by the very best agricultural prac
tice that sugar boets can be raised
at all. On beet sugar land rotation
Of crops is imperative and the soil
after beet culture, is in condition
for maximum yield Of other crops
The industry was growing rapidly in
this state and itD ruin is an agricul
tural calamity.
More than that, it deprives thou

sands and thousands of farm labor
ers OF work which they have been
enjoying and upon which they were
counting. Concede that these have
been largely Asiatics that condition
was temporary. We are expecting
q great influx of European laborers,
who are accustomed to intensive cul-
tivation of land, and the most pro-
missing outlook for them, and for US,
was the opportunity to engage in su-
gar beet culture. Indications were
that within a decade We should cease
to import sugar and that domestic
competition would reduce the price
to the lowest possible point. The
effect Of depriving farm laborers OF
employment on such scale must be
to add, to the congestion Of our
cities and the problem Of unemploy-
ment.
1t is possible that there are some
who will rejoice that Capitalists"
who have Invested large sums in the
sugar industry win lose their money
Most people, however, will not think

have been built upon the location Of
sugar factories which are in way
to stand idle with their costly ma

While the farmers can. devote their
land to other purposes there is no

The history of the Intermountain
Empire for the year 1913 shows pro-
gress in every phase. The mining
industry has experienced the best
year in several past; our agri-
cultural output was never SO. great,
nor our marketing arrangements SO
complete; unusual development Of
water power has been accomplished;
railroad facilities have been bet
tered on every hand; our titled areas
have widened; our population has
grown; our wealth has increased.
Railroad building has not been cut
off during the year. There has been
a great deal of building, and most
of 1t has been but part Of the ini-
tial development of far-reaching plans.
To the south the Denver & Rio
Grande is theoretically pushing for
ward its work Of shortening it's line
over the mountains, double tracking
1t and reducing the grade. It is part
of general plan Of great magnitude
which embraces the Identification Of
the road between Denver and Salt
Lake City and will end by making the
Denver & Rio Grande practically q
new road. The Western Pacific also
has been carrying on improvement
work Of importance.

tween Salt Lake City and Los Ange.
les, has spent much time and money
in the improvement Of its roadbed
through Utah and has plans for the
next year that include an extension
or two which will be of great value
to Salt Lake City.
The Oregon Short Line has beer
very busy in 1913. From Ashton
Idaho, on the Yellowstone Park line
in northern Idaho, it has completed
a branch reaching south and east te
Victor, Idaho. This branch is nearly
SO miles in length and opens up &
rich and almost untouched territory
Another branch line was built from
Nyssa, Oregon, to Homedale, Oregon
along the south side OF the Snake
River, and it is thought to be par
OF what ultimately will be through
line connecting Nyssa, Oregon, will
Promontory, Utah, and provide tn
shortest route between the East an,
the Coast, as we'll as between Sal
Lake City and the Coast. Anothe
branch has been extended from En-
NETT. Idaho, to the Payette Lake
which lie north and east Shor
stretches of railway have also bee
built in the Cache Valley of Utah AM

During the year 1913 the mining

by the development Of several new
