LluN it was only such lnnd as wo folt sure couldbo properly irritated. Wo arc offering some of the outlying tracts at atnuch lower price. 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 same amount of labor.

WILL KEEP ROAD OPEN. Although no time schedule has been filed by tho Sumpter Valley railroad with posloflko depart ment or with the railway com mission for regular train service on tho extension of their new road to Dixie, it is understood that tho company will use all their efforts to keep the road open and will run trains over the line daily. This will bo neces saiy in order to maintain the grades which are now and nec essarily not in condition to stand the weather unless they are given constant attention. Passengers, freight, express and mail will bo hauled to Dixie, on construction trains when con venient, or in other words regu lar train servico will not he es tablished, but the road will if mmmmm &&&&m&&&-: :a The Harriman Mercantile Co.

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.
