outlying tracts at atnuch lower

In selling this land at $40.00
per acre one thing should be
borne in mind and that is we
are charging our purchasers no
interest for three years and
threo months and we are cling
ing them no taxes for thnt time.
The interest nnd tnxes would
amount in the neighborhood of
$4.50 per acre.
Both members of our firm have
visited Trout Creek region lately
nnd are convinced that wo have
sold a part of the lnnd too cheap.
One of the purchasers, who
bought one hundred and twenty
acres of land, cut from ninety
acres of his tract this year over
$900.00 worth of hay. We do
not believe there are many tracts
of land on which a profit equal
to this can be made with the

hundred and fifteen cents in less
than car load lots.
Work is still progressing along
the line, tho intention being lo
push to completion the extension
to Flynn's station this winter.
The work is necessarily slow ow
ing to the condition of the
weather. It is also understood
that a right of way has been
secured down Dads Creek to tho
valley and that negotiations are
under way to come out at the
Collier ranch and from hero
come down tho vnllov to Prairie
City. The ranchers object to a
right of way through their places,
but Mr. Collier has signified a
disposition to allow them to cross
tho cast end of his place coming
out at the Rivallior flour mill.
These negotiations nre still all in
the air and have not been defi
nately settled. It is estimated
that in case certain things do not
transpire that tho road will not
corno to tho valley at the point
at all, but will cross high on
Dixie creek and dropping down
into the timber holdings of the
company will come out on Bear
creek and strike the valley lower
down. Blue Mt. Eagle.

The need of a commercial club
in Canyon City and factories and
payrolls and more people and all
that kind of business is all good
talk, but what the town needs,
worse than any thing else is a
nursery. Here is a town of
nearly 500 inhabitants, and to
realize that in it is no place to
put the kids when the old folks
want to go out in society for a
night or two, makes a fellow's
society blood run cold. What We'
need is some good maternal man j
to fit up a padded room and then I
charge a nominal fee to keep your
kids for an evening that the old
folks can have a little sport before '
old Father Time mows themi
down. -Blue Mountain Eagle.
