There was a time when men with money for good speculations turned to such cities as Seattle, Ta coma, Spokane, Portland and other large cities of the NorthweBt, but now prices have reached that stage where there is no longer any chance to speculate. The man with a big fortune can continue to buy city realty, Improve it and make money but he with a small fortune which It is hoped to double or triple muBt look elsewhere than the cities It he wants to be successful. . Shrewd bus iness men with an eye to the future do not hesitate to say that the for tunes of the future will come from the timber, logged-off and the fruit lands of the Northwest. During the past few weeks a number of rich Seattle men have invested heavily in Oreeon and Idaho lands and they say they are more than pleased with their investments. It is the inten tion to cut up this land into small farms and Bell them to settlers. A big rush Is expected this spring for the railroads have been extensively exploiting the country and are offer ing special inducements to Bettlers. Thousands of new people are expect ed to locate in the three stateB with Id the next year.' Every state will ret Its share. The Hill roads de clare that the next few months will witness a wonderful rush froh the East and Middle West to. the Pacific NorthweBt. This is information bas ed on the heavy Inquiry for rates made to Eastern agents of the Nor thern Pacific and the Great Northern. COMETS BIG TOUR Local cement contractor hns big trip ever the country.
