Harry Whittier and his brother,
Robert, have acquired another 160
' acres adjoining their 1800 acre farm
! three miles from Colton, in Whitman
| county, Washington. They bought
I the Simmons quarter section, which
gives them 1960 acres of as fine land
as can be found anywhere. The
brothers started several years ago by
acquiring the Ferguson farm, one of
the best in that splendid farming sec
tion. Later they acquired the school
section and now have added the Sim
mons quarter.
Harry Whittier is cashier of the
Moscow State Bank, haie lived in this
country many years, is a close student
of conditions and believes that Pa
louse land values will go much higher
and at the same time will yield a good
interest on the investment. He has
bought the John Martinson farm of ;
160 acres, seven miles rorth of Gen- |
esee and near the Ben Hush farm of !
280 acres which he bought last week.
The price paid in both oi these trans- !
fers is not made public. This gives
Mr. Whittier a large body of fine land
in the Genesee neighbornood in addi
tion to his other holdings in Latah
county.

That the north Idaho tuberculosis j

two tuberculosis hospitals in the state,

other in the south. Juliaetta has

today tells of a deal now being con

( supposed to have committed suicide
in California several yearse ago.
