fasro Six THE KLAMATH NEWS Sunday, October 3, Half -Acre Tracts at Altamont Show . Wide Popularity Continued rail estate activity In suburban property adjacent to Klamath Falls, Is Indicated by the ale laat week of six of the Wlshard half-acre tracta at Altamont, pop ular subdivision which has shown remarkable development In the past tew months. ' The so-called half-acre subdivision at Altamont, opened last August by the Wiahard Realty company of this city, comprises 110 tracts ot this size, and since the date of opening 78 of these have been sold, an ac complishment ot which A. U Wih rd, president of the concern, is justly proud. . Relatively, the building growth ot this subdivision virtually rivals thst ot the city, and at the present time no lees than SO modern homes are under construction. F. M. Law rence, who purchased two ot the all tracta sold last week, has an nounced that he will start construc tion at once on two houses there. ' Hines Nelson, Eugene contract ors, who have been active in resi dential building circles here, have Just completed a block of four new bouses on Altamont half-acre tracts, and it la expected that considerable more building will take place this tall and winter, as msny ot the purchasers plan to move on their tracts next spring in time to start (ardens. ' Gardening is one of the features of this property, located in the heart of a fertile farming district. Many on Altamont acres, which have been On the market tor over a year, and which are practically all sold, have experienced fine success with truck gardens. ' Several purchasers of half-acre (racta have commenced construction of poultry houses and pens, in prep aration for stocking with the birds when spring opens. Financial in dependence for the wage earner through the production ot poultry and garden truck in connection with his work In the city, is one ot the advantages stressed by the Wis hard Realty company In offering this land to the public. The half-acres are a bait mile from the city, and are adjacent to three macadam roads. Pedigreed Bulls To Pass Through On Way to North Of interest to Klamath county stockmen came the announcement from the local office of the Stra horn railroad yesterday that four carloads ot pedigreed bulls will pass through this city today. Two cars comprising 55 head ot the thoroughbred breeding stock are being shipped from Eugene ly Cal Eaton, to the Sprague ltiver valley, from where they will be driven to various stock ranches In Lake county. The majority of this shipment will be placed on the ranches ot 1!. A. llrattin. V. B. Snider, C. W. Withers and Eld er McDonald, all in the Paisley vicinity, although several other stockmen will get one or two head. The other two cars to pass through here, are enrouta for Eug ene and constitute a sort of ex change, inasmuch as the Lake coun ty stockmen are sending 55 head ot the bulla north. Eaton will dis tribute this stock out ot Eugene, according to I!. A. Brattln who was In Klamath Falls yesterday. AIRPLANES FIND KLAMATH ADAPTABLE (Continued from Pace Oo) tains was made at noon, when tog again forced the mail plane to turn back, SO miles west ot Klamath Falls. A third attempt in the afternoon also tailed, as the fog in the valley had neither lifted nor thinned. ljcft Portland Early ' Bookwaltcr and his relief pilot left Portland early yesterday morn ing. Intending to fly south via the regular eosst route, but perilous flying conditions there forced them to swing eastward. Neither pilot was familiar with the local field, but spotting Klam ath Falls when they swung in this direction, thew flew low over the city In search of a place to land In order that depleted fuel tanks might be replenished. A roadside sign "To the Klamath Air Service Landing Field" gave them the clue needed. Xortli-bound Plane Returns The north-bound plane scheduled to meet Bookwalter's craft at Med ford. also spent several hours at tempting to find a landing place at or near the air mail port, but was finally forced to return to Yraeka to land. Bookwalter and Anderllne are here this morning awaiting further Instructions. It was believed last night that a Portland plane will bring mail south today, and If the fog still bangs in the coast valleys It will probably land In Klamath Falls and send the mail to Med ford by stage. Klamath Lofcirnl Point R. A. Shelton, business manager of the Klamath Air Service, de clared last niKht, following con versation with the air mall pilots here, that this city will undoubted ly be chosen tor an air mail port in the near future as the pilots are all In favor of the safer landings possible here.
