FAME

We saw man Sunday sitting
in a Seattle depot who from 1S97-99
attracted as much attention and pub
licity as anyone in the whole world.
He was wearing a tall silk hat which,
added to the towering figure, made
him a sky-scraper of an individual.
A heavy all fur overcoat of brown
enveloped him, and in his tie, he
wore diamond-studded horseshoe
that might we'll have fitted a steed
with a IL F foot. He was Robert
Fitzsimmons, champion heavyweight
prize fighter of the world for two
years and not a soul tagged after
him, and few looked his way

SPRING WORK

Soft Spring weather. with warm

for laying sidewalks on some of the
streets of the city which need them
badly.
The city council could take the
preliminary steps now for the work,
so that the contract could be let when
the rainy weather ceases. Nor need
such action on the part of the council
be delayed by fear of objection on the
part of the property owners. The
easy system of payment for such I'M
provements, which divides the cost
and spreads it over a period of ten
years, makes a sugar-coated affair of
such paving bills. and when the hold
err of an ordinary size lot learns that
the assessment annually will be less
than ten dollars he is glad to benefit
his property and the city in which he
lives.

Potatoes are now selling at East
EN- points for $4,000 a ton. 1t is
not uncommon to raise twelve or
more tons to the acre on land in the
Nooksack Valley. At these prices,
therefore. a man with ten acres in
potatoes would have a gross profit
of sl4,4OO, or a man with 100 acres
would clean up s144,000.00. Land
around Lynden can be bought for
from $3.50 to $500 per acre, or in

pay for the highest price acreage
four times over in a single season, at
the present prices.

also end an hour earlier and thus
