Values fluctuated from time to time with the national economic conditions, but not to the wild ex tent we hear of nowadays. In the beginning of these projects, prices rose during the fruit boom to $250.00 to $400.00 an acre for raw land, and the result was that nearly every settler lost his investments, and pri ces flattened to $10.00 and $75.00 an acre. After the World War land boom Iowa corn lands were sold for $400.00 an acre, and thousands of people went broke. A report is current that a tract of land nearby that was sold a few years ago for about $3000.00 is now being offered at over ten thousand by outside parties to possible suckers. We have great respect for the values of land here for homes and a good living, and a reasonable profit on fair investment. But the boom here does not jus tify the prices asked and accepted in a number of cases, and the purchasers, if they go in debt for such ranches, will become a liability to the community, and many of them did 20 years ago. We, of course, recognize a reasonable advance in prices is justifi able, but to sell land far in advance of current infla tionary conditions or great speculation of the pros pects of the Umatilla Rapids dam, is little less than Al Capone and Pendergast practices after World War I. The men who do this have done nothing to advance the development of this section, nor do any thing to contribute to its stable values for legitimate investment, but are leeches on the condititions creat ed by war. All good citizens should put the stamp of disapproval on such practices. the Walla Walla hospital for an appendectomy last Thursday, and is doing all right. By Mre.
