Clarke's Quiet Faith in Powers Lake Farming Boom
W H Clarke of Gold Star Land & Credits quietly trades for eight quarters totaling 1280 acres in the Powers Lake hills country. He believes the hills yield more moisture and higher crops than flats, aided by the Stanley branch of the Great Northern Railway. The Tribune notes his prudent, decisive investments and expects land values to rise to 25 to 35 dollars per acre as development continues.
