The land owners of the Kittitas re

a 11»tal cost of $!j COG.OtOhtnd w* 7 >
000 acres of the richest land in the I’a

T. P. AitkeD, former Candle dredgiug
operator, is one of the largest individ

be cut up into 100-aore farm-, and sold.
This land now looms up like a-rea! pay
streak. It is believed that Mr. Aitken
will mine this rural district for,a mouth
or so; a« least long enough to place the
land on a selling basis and iu the bauds
of reliable agents. This land was pur
chased at S8J an acre and has steadily
increased in value. The ditch will j
greatly enhance the value. The selling i
price is not slated. It is understood
