T. M. COOPER has sold his real estate and insurance business to C. W. MCCOY who will continue the business at the same old stand. Mr. Cooper, with his family, will leave about November 1st for Los Angeles, California, where they will spend 18 months in sightseeing and having a good time. However, Mr. Cooper does not intend to desert Sprague for good and still keeps his property holdings in the city and country and expects to still call Sprague his home. Mr. Cooper is one of the pioneer men of Lincoln county. He came to this county in 1879 and settled on a farm near Creston. In 1887 he came to Sprague to take the office of county treasurer to which he was elected the fall previous. After serving one term as treasurer, he was elected auditor , in which office he served one term. Then he went into the real estate, insurance and abstract business and did fairly well until the fire of 1895, which left him, not exactly broke but badly bent. With the persistency which has marked his business career he commenced again and is today one of Sprague's wealthiest citizens, and feels that for the balance of his life he can take the rest he has so well earned. Mr. McCoy, who succeeds to the business is a hustling young man with considerable experience in real estate and insurance. He is perfectly trustworthy and will make a good substitute for Mr. Cooper in the business.

JOHN C. MARTIN purchased the real estate and insurance business formerly conducted by Mr. McCoy,. Mr. Martin is an old-timer here, and will make a rustle for a share of the business in this city. He has been in the employ of Mr. McCoy several months and had formerly had considerable experience in this line, so is not a new hand by any means. He served Lincoln county for two years as county clerk and is a thorough office man.

Under the firm name of C. Olson & Co., C. Olson, J. F. HEARD and GEORGE KENNEDY have succeeded to the saloon business formerly conducted by R. O. PORAK and have leased his building opposite the depot, where they will continue the business. They will have their opening tomorrow night , a fine lunch being one of the numbers on the program.

A. L. GARNER , a young man from Cheney, has purchased an interest in the grocery business of L. A. CULVER. The firm name is now Culver & Garner.

JOHN P. HENITZ has closed up his saloon. His license ran out on the 2nd and he closed up his place on that day. He will now devote himself to farming and stock raising on his rancher near Lake Colville.

C. B. CHARLES, cashier of the Bank of Sprague, has sold his stock in that institution to JOHN T. GREEN, A. G. MITCHUM and M. F. ADAMS, three of Harrington's prominent business men, whose combined rating if $165,000. Mr. Charles and family will leave about the first of the year for his old home in Michigan, but as he has once had a taste of western business life, he expects that next spring will again find him in Washington and if possible, in Sprague.

C. W. MCCOY has just closed up one of the largest real estate deals ever made in this section. The transfer was from MACKIE BROS. to T. C. LARKIN; consideration $34,000. Mr. Lakin's purchase consists of the Mackie Bros.' ranch of 2000 acres, 50 head of horses, thresher and all farming implements and about 12,000 bushels of wheat. The farm is located about 16 miles south of Sprague and is rated as one of the best wheat producing farms in this locality. Mr. Lakin, the purchaser, is one of the big farmers of Lincoln county. He farms several thousand acres of land north of Sprague and is classed among the wealthiest men of the county. This deal is considered a big bargain and Mr. Lakin will never have any trouble making a big profit on his purchase. GEORGE W. MOORE has rented the ranch and will move onto it soon. The Mackie Bros., ROBERT and WILLIAM are among the pioneer settlers on Rock creek. They have stayed with their ranch through good and hard times and now retire with funds sufficient to live in luxury the balance of their lives. They will make their home in Sprague for a time at least.

ISOM IRBY, who disposed of his heavy land holdings and large cattle interests in Lincoln county last fall to VICTOR A. JOHNSON of Spokane, has just purchased the old BUSSEY place, about 12 miles northwest of Sprague on Crab Creek. Altogether there are about 520 acres in the tract. It is the intention of Mr. Irby to make his future home on this land. He will devote it to cattle raising.

C. W. McCOY made another big real estate deal this week, selling 1920 acres of land for $22,500. The land was the farm of JOHN BROWN located 14 miles south of Sprague and was purchased by C. L. GLENN and E. E. DENT of Spokane. The purchasers intend to divide it up into small tracts and sell on easy terms to homeseekers. The land lies in the famous GRESHAM wheat belt and although only a small part of it is under cultivation it is all good land. Mr. BROWN has resided on this farm for a long time and is one of the well-to-do farmers of that section of country. He is advertising his farming implements and stock at auction sale on Nov 25th and is evidently going to quit farming. It does one good to see these old timers retiring from business and labor, having acquired sufficient e\wealth to insure them a peaceful old age.

The real estate firms of C. W. MCCOY and MARTIN & DAMRELL this week consolidated under the firm name of C. W. McCOY & Co. The members of the firm are C. W. McCOY, J. C. MARTIN, T. E. DAMRELL, and C. A. HOLLOWAY. Mr. Holloway will remain in charge of the Spokane branch, Messrs. Martin and Damrell will look after the Sprague end of the business and Mr. McCoy will divide his time between the two offices and looking up outside deals. This is a strong combination of business men and we are greatly mistaken if this firm does not get its share of business even in Spokane, the city of sharks.

MCALLISTER SELLS
The Sprague Advocate - 1916
J. MDONALD has purchased the harness stock and fixtures of THOS. McALLISTER and will remove the property to his store at the east end of Main Street. We are informed that Mr. McAllister has rented the building including the up stairs to C. H. LOGSDON, formerly of Lamont, who will take possession on November 1, and open up some kind of business there, the nature of which we are unable to learn.
The removal of Mr. McAllister marks the departure from our business circle of one of the real pioneer business men of Sprague. He came here November 2, 1882 and lacks but a few days of being in business here for 34 years. His recollection is that Mr. HERTRICH is the only business man here now who was here at that time. When he came most of the business was on the north side of the track.
We feel that Mr. McAllister is entitled to a rest and trust that his remaining days will be spent in happiness and peace.

Several changes have already been started under the new management whereby the rooms will be renovated, generally, and repainted..........Mr. Curzon will be assisted by his wife in the management of the Lincoln.

The sale of 640 acres of farm land, three miles southeast of Davenport, was completed recently by EDGAR JOHNSON to LAWRENCE and SEYMOUR FLOOD , for a reported consideration of $51,200. The land purchased by the Flood Brothers is under cultivation and includes a good set of buildings. The new owners, who have had large holdings in the vicinity of Reardan for several years, will stock and farm the land here. EDGAR JOHNSON came to the state from Paullina, Iowa, several years ago after having disposed of 320 acres which he farmed for twenty years. Mr. Johnson states that he made more money in three years from the Davenport property than he made from the Iowa land in twenty years. The enlistment and acceptance of his two sons into the service of their country, has left Mr. Johnson without sufficient help to continue the operation of his farm and he gives that as his reason for selling. He will retire and move to Spokane to live.
