An important real estate doal for the
week was the sale of the Arnett farm,
two miles northwest of town, on the 1
Tolo road, to A. Bails, a recent ar- [
rival from Fairfield, Nebraska. T h e:
place contains 60 acres and the price
was 110,000 00 The place is one of the
most desirable in the valley and Mr.
Bails secured a bargain at that price.
The place has ten acres of young or
chard and J-acre of strawberries, which
Mr. Bails expects to bring ttHMI or
more this season. Mr. Bails will take
immediate possession, but will be
obliged to return to Nebraska to dis
pose of his personal property and to
bring out his family. Twelve or 15
families of Mr. Bails' neighbors are
waiting for his report on this country,
they having signified their intention of
selling their Nebraska holdings and
coming here if he found the country
to his liking.

Arthur Brown, who owned a fine
place on the foothill road, two and one-
half miles west of town, has sold his
farm to A. L. Aikln, o f this town, the
consideration being $6,000. The place
contains 70 acres, with about one-half
in cultivation and 14 acres of young
orchard. All of the place is excellent
fruit land. Mr. Aikin will remodel the
house and otherwise improve the place
and will take possession at once. Mr.
Brown expects to visit friends for
awhile in the Willamette valley and
will probably extend his trip to a visit
with his father at his old home in

General Booth, the leader of the

which he delivered an address which

Through the efforts o f friends of

bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. These men, when students in

with loss of life, on Lake Michigan.
Each exhibited unusual bravery and
rescued perishing ones. The recipients
of these tardy honors are Bishop Hart-
zell and Bishop Fowler.
The following are a few of the known
victories for prohibition at the April
election; Eighteen entire counties and
enough scattered townships in Illinois
to abolish about 1500 saloons. Nineteen
out of thirty-five towns voting on this
issue in Colorado went “ dry.” Many
towns in Massachusetts changed from
license to no license and vice versa,
with a net gain of about ten for
prohibition. There is now a 17,989 no
license majority o f votes in Massa
chusetts.
About two-thirds o f the
towns o f Nebraska which voted on
this measure went “ dry.” Lincoln re
tained license by a majority o f 174 in a
total vote of 7,800.
Immediately after the disastrous fire
in Chelsea, Mass., the saloons of East
Boston and Charlestown were ordered
closed.
