Bonners Ferry Experiencing a Steady
and Healthy Growth

The past week has kept full pace
with the preceding ones in the num-
Der CT farm sales and transfers of city
property. One of the largest deals
of the week was the sale of the III. l..
Hoagland ranch on Deep and Ruby
creeks, the consideration being in the
neighborhood of $4,000 This sale
also has the record for being closed
quickly.
On last Wednesday j. ID. Hodge
and wife and six daughters, passed
through the county on their way west
from Alberta and on their way they
happened to meet Emera Kinnear and
asked him if there were any places
in the vicinity of Moravia for sale.
Mr.. Kinnear said that he had heard
that the Hoagland place was for sale
so the Hodges stopped at the Hoag-
land ranch, looked it over and within
an hour had paid deposit to bind the
deal and the next day came to town
to fix up the papers.
The Hoagland ranch contains $50
acres and is part of the quarter sec
tion that Mr.. Hoagland homesteaded
in 1902. 1t is an ideal stock ranch
and there are many hundreds OF acres
of range adjoining 1t. Mr.. Hodge
brought with him from Canada quite
a herd of stock and he has purchased
more stock and some of the farm i'm
Iplements of Mr.. Hoagland.
Mr.. and Mrs Hoagland plan to take
life easy now and will move to town
and occupy the ]. II. Hoagland home
on the Northside. Mr.. Hoagland Is
one of the successful ranchers OF this
district and his place neaf Moravia
has earned for him a comfortable for
tune.
Another deal of considerable magni-
tude was also closed recently when
Gus Riefsteck purchased the Henry
ITank farm north of town four miles
The consideration is not made public
but is believed to amount to quite a
large sum of money. Mr.. Riefsteck
has been renting for several years and
has devoted a large share OF his time
to stock raising and dairying and mas
been most successful. He VIII take
possession about the latter part or
, January.
