The land boom here is the chief excitement
we have among us at the present time. It amounts
to almost a craze in some quarters. The city is full
of people buying land or talking about it. Real
estate agents are multiplying on every hand. Prices
have gone up wonderfully. Some idea of the infatu-

which it was stated that 32 acres near Geo. Q. Cannon's
were sold for $600.00 an acre. You know what
kind of land it is in that vicinity and how little
value it possesses intrinsically for farming or for
residences.
The Legislative Assembly had a very pro-

Assembly were not able to gain every point they wished,
still, on the whole, there is reason to be satisfied
