It is true that some of these sales were taken up during Decem- ber, but every one of them has been closed since January 1. We have interested some of the lead- ing bankers and business men of Spokane, and we believe that we will sell a number of other tracts to Washington people who are now in corre- spondence with our company. We have actually closed twenty ten-acre contracts in Spokane at an average price of $550 per acre, or a total of $112,000. The company will plant the area between the Boulevard, the Agate road and the Pacific & Eastern Railroad, directly northwest of the Niles cottage, to a standard variety of pears. We have been advised by high authority that this part of our land is especially adapted to pears, and we have every reason to believe that we will be able to equal or excfel any commercial pear orchard in the valley. These tracts will be cared for and be under the personal supervision of our experts for a period of five years, at which time they will be turned over to the purchaser. "Here is a list of some of the Spokane pur- chasers who have invested in our irrigated orchard tracts: Charles E. McBroom, cashier Exchange National Bank of Spokane, ten acres, $5,500; W. J. C. Wakefield (Wakefield & Witherspoon, attorneys), ten acres, $5,500; F. J. Finucane (Holly-Mason Hardware Co.), ten acres, $5,500; A. Kellett, ten acres, $5,; A. E. Griffin, ten acres, $5,733; D. W.
