1850 ACRES CHANGES
HANDS At WOLF CREEK

Wolf Creek, Ore, Feb. 1S.-(Spe-
cial. Rev. w. G. Smith has sold
his Wolf Creek holdings, about
1850 acres, to A. Mel. Hawks, of
Tacoma, a hydraulic engineer Of 50
years experience. who decided upon
the investment after a most thor
ough investigation which convinced
him of the great possibilities here
for fruits, nuts and general agri-
culture.
Because of the fact that Mr..
Hawks has visited and reported up
on over 100 fruit areas in the west
as an expert hydraulic engineer, his
opinion is we'll founded. He shares
Mr.. Smiths conviction that in this
delightful little valley there are the
most favorable and the fewest un-
favorable conditions native OF all
this wonderful coast country and he
contemplates the highest develop
ment as speedily as labor conditions
warrant. Mr.. Hawks has listed most
of the tracts for sale in the vicinity
and expects soon to have new people
upon them; has taken over the Wolf
Creek hotel and will seek to make
1t attractive to Pacific highway
travellers as well as the railroad pa.

or open another He is favorable tC

DDS and will see that all who become
members of the new community have
all the advantages in securing sup
plies and marketing products which
the most patriotic and up-to-datt
communities enjoy.
With electric light and power ant
the favorable transportation facili
ties, and methods Of preserving al
products which cannot be marketed
to advantage in the fresh state ther'
is every reason to believe that VOL
Creek will become one OF the mos
prosperous communities of the coun

Mr.. Smith is to remain as super
intendent and is promised all tn
help he needs, and r. A. Macnab an
family are already on the ground

You wouldn't believe slap-stick

line. but he can fall into bathtub

slap-tick knowledge OF Charlie

the result is one OF the very best
