Fine Body of land to Be Developed ° WHEAT AND ORCHARD LANDS witt | BE OFFERED AT LOW PRICES.| ALONGe “MILWAUKEE” Arrangements for opening up ay immense body of land, known the “Milwaukee Hold in Waal ington, have been pe the last few interest has been of previous rumors as to what wa coming, and also because of the well-known character of this acre e. “Anat known as the “Mil waukee dings” consist of some 40,000 acres in the central part of the state, most of it being ip Grant and Adams counties, along the main Mne of the Milwaukee railway and within reach of the Northern Pa cific and other lines. well-known wheat belt of Washing ton, the tract reaching from Rever ly on the west to Warden on the east, The district is crossed by the main line of the Milwaukee and what is termed the new Ritaville Ellensburg cutoff branch of the Northern Pacific is surveyed through the property, with several miles already graded Develop ment has now reached the point where the railroad wants to settle the lands along its line for the sake of the freight that will come as 4 result. The parties in charge state that on account of this desire the Jands will be sold off rapidly as wheat farms, at popular prices, with an allowance of ten years’ time for completing payment. It seems that the price that will be published within a few days is a re sult of a special discount for the purpose of the opening sale, and while special arrangement has been made to sell in as small as 40acre pieces, the average will run from 80 acres to half a section The agent states that this proper ty will be offered to the public sole ly as Wheat land, the soll and grow ing conditions, however, being con sidered equal to the best orchard sections in the West. As James J Hill says: “Unless more people go to raising crops the United Sta must soon begin to ship wheat tn instead of shipping it out.” Incidentally, as announced, spe- lal advantages will be offered at the start of the sale which will pot be held open later. A wonderful period of develop ment over the whole Northwest country is expected, of which the Panama canal Is to be but one of a nun%eer of large items. That the tide of immigration will come not only from the United States but from Furope is shown by the world campaign with colonization com mittees in charge that ts now being started by a number of large land concerns. The negotiations for opening these lands to the public were con ducted by Calhoun, Denny & Ewing Alaska building, who have been ap- pointed exclusive agents in trans acting the business.

Ellis thought Lowrey would stop, and Lowrey evidently thought the car would stop on the near side of Harrison. At any rate, neither vehicle stopped. The auto darted in front of the street car, and just as it was seen that a col lision was inevitable, Lowrey turn. ed north, in the same direction the street car was going. The auto was struck on its side and carried 30 feet before the car stopped. Mra. Rice was sitting on the rear seat, on the south side of the car. When struck, she knocked unconscious. H. E.
