The second factor la the desire of

factor is the marvelous growth of 'hut
settlement during the pnst year.
Tho territory Unit la commonly rec
ognized as Gladstone covers the
southern half of what was the Itlncnr
son liouatlon Land Claim and the
whole of what was the Cason Claim.
The O. W. P. runs along the division
lino between these two tracts. The
south half of the Itlneurson claim lies
west of the track and contains 'J.'fl

the track and contains 040 acres. The
recitation of the vast amount of real
estate transfers that has taken place
on this tract of !U".( acres during the
past year would be Interesting, but
the growth during the past twelve
months as shown by the building pc-
tlvltlea nnd substantial Improvement
that have actually been completed or
ure under way la more than surpris
ing.
On the enst of the tract, the tax
payers are Just finishing the four low
er rooms of the school house. Tibs
building has been constructed so that
Iglit large school .rooms can be easily
made ready for tho students. The
tiwer floor will be completed for this
year. The stairs and upper floors are
not to be finished until needed. The
llrectors have studied every detail
so as lo protect the students In case
of fire. When finally finished there
will be two stairways wrom the upper
floor, both of which will be without
urns and will lea 1 directly to outside
doors that open int. It Is estimated
that there will be 150 students this
year and 170 seats have been provld
d. The cost, up to date. Including
lie furniture and heating apparatus Is
$7500, When fully completed the
building will cost $10,000. The extra
$2500 will he spent in finishing the
basement, tho tipper floor, and the
stairs nnd providing additional fur
