Savidge in No Hurry
to Sell Olympic Lands

There are some people in this world
whom Land c commissioner C. v.
Sayidge insists are altogether too
previous and he isn't o bit slangy
when he uses that old-time phrase to
describe them.
Already the state land office is be.
ing besieged by people who are eager
to buy small tracts OF lands on the
west side of the Olympic peninsula
for future development as resort sites,
gas stations and even summer resi-.
dences. The word has gone out that
the state is opening up the western
link of the Olympic Highway as
rapidly as possible and the idea seems
to have occurred to scores of people
simultaneously that big rush OF
tourists is certain to follow the open.
ing OF the new highway. That is why
number of people are trying to buy
tracts now. They wish to improve
them before the road is opened.
Land Commissioner Savidge will
not sell, The only way some of the
desirable tracts could be reached
would be by trail or airplane. More
over Mr.. Savidge wishes to make d
thorough examination of the countr!
before he allows anybody to acquire
state land for development as summel
resorts or rest stations. During thi.
biennium the highway will be graded
to the Queets on the south and to the
Hin on the north, being completed
during 1927.29.
