fist, has temporarily abandoned
work he was doing at Carthage
and has gone to Jerba, place
that has suddenly jumped into
prominence in archaeology.
Jerba Is an ancient city on
the west coast OF Northern AZ.
RIGA. II Is mostly submerged.
A treasure galley laden heavily.
has been found lying across one
OF the streets OF tho city. II
probably sank centuries after
the city itself had disappeared
under the water. Some OF it's
contents already have been re.
moved and submarine cameras
are being used to take movies
OF the work.
The legend OF Jerba is that Il
was the land OF the lotus. eaters.
These people are famed in epic
poemp and the myths OF Greece
and Rome. They were supposed
20 eat the fruit Of the lotus. The
tree itself is largely a mystery.
There is no definite information

sons who ate the fruit were
supposed TO live happily ever

themselves, and with no wish 20

FLORIDA OR SEATTLE?

D0SYY-PAINTED stories from For
IN ida are being spread turnout the
country, telling OF the opportunities TO
ride into riches overnight on the tail of
Florda's land boom. This propaganda
already has caused several SeattleiteS 10
pack their worldly belongings and set out
for the land of promise" confident that
they viii return with gold bullying from
every pocket
We hope they will-but we fear they
won't
While il is true that every cloud has a
silver lining, in the matter of real estate
booms the silver lining almost invariably
has been picked off by the shrewd gen
tlemen who put across" the boom. and
who are keen enough TO know when the
time is ripe to take their gains and with
draw And then, when Mr.. Average Man,
enthused over the wonderful squirt in
real estate, comes along, buys in at the
high prices, expecting them to go still
higher, he is left holding the sack when
the bubble bursts.
Eastern newspapers have made careful
Investigations of the Florida boom. And
they are not recommending TO their read
ers that they rush South and invest
heavily.
Only last week prominent real estate
dealer from Miami called upon one of
Seattle's real estate firms to discuss Sc
attic and its future. This man said very
frankly that he was considering moving
to Seattle because he felt that property
values in Miami were getting so high that
it was fast becoming impossible to make
money on anything like the basis that the
same amount of money would bring in
vested in Seattle property.
More and more outside capitalists are
realizing the financial merit of Seattle
real estate.
Since January more than $1,750,000
has been invested in real estate here by
Eastern Washington men. Nearly that
much has been invested by Portland COM
panies and individuals. California men
of means have invested heavily in income
properties.
Money has been flowing into Seattle
real estate from the East as well. One
man-W. S. Hammons, of Portland, Me-
has invested more than $3.50, 1000 in Sc
attic property in three months, and Mr..
Harmon is known thruout the East as
an ultra conservative.
This newspaper believes that if Seattle
folks have money to invest in real estate
that they will have to go far TO find
better investment for their funds than
right here in Seattle, where values are
below the property values in almost every
city in the country that approaches Sc
attic in size
