Salem's New Additions.

Desirable building lots in Salem have for a long time been not easy of access, but now that the acre holdings are being surveyed and divided up, choice resident lots are obtainable. Among those new additions to the capital city already on the market, or soon to be, are the following: Riverside addition, to the north, owned and managed by the Oregon Land company; Queen Anne Additions, owned by Vand yne and Stump and managed by Moores & Manning; Capital Park, owned by Dr. Jessup et al and managed by Hughes, Bellinger & Co. This tract will be placed on the market by the 15th inst. A tract that will be opened in the spring is the thirty-four acres recently purchased by Amos Glover, an Ohio capitalist. This land lies near the O. & C. depot.

Some More Purchases.

Thomas Halverson, late of Eureka, Kansas, after a tour of the coast, has decided to locate in Salem and verifies his decision by purchasing through Moores & Manning a part of lots one and two, block seventy-four on Chemekete street. This property lies just back of the Krausse residence and is very desirable. The consideration was $1200. Mr. Halverson will improve this property by the erection of a neat residence in the spring.

Another "late of Kansas" man, Mr. Elliott yesterday purchased of the Oregon Land Company three lots in Riverside, which he will at once improve. These Riverside lots are going off pretty rapidly, as some are sold every few days.
