Reynolds Land Opening Outing At Nason Creek
A party of fifteen Leavenworth residents joined a Sunday morning train ride to Nason creek to view the Reynolds land platted beside the Nason creek siding on the Great Northern railway. Francis Peake led the excursion, praising the soil for fruit growing and potential home sites while noting no deals could close due to Sunday laws. Mrs. C. W. Hastings hosted a generous farm kitchen dinner that impressed the visitors, with several expressing intent to buy 25 acre tracts as soon as allowed. The group returned to Leavenworth in the afternoon, including G. A. Hamilton, J. E. Grant, Joe Gangler, and others.
