Selling Real Estate

In 1901, Fred and Ella put up ads for a period in the Deseret News, attempting to sell some of their property. The ad reads:

Of interest are:

(a) Selling land for $10 - $30 an acre. Perhaps the price depended on which acre, otherwise it's same strange haggling. "I'll take the $10 an acre price, please." I am curious of what land was typically priced at during this time.

(b) The virtues of the land extolled are the water, and the yield the land produced with fruits (peaches), grains, and vegetables. Quite the successful irrigation these 2 claim to have accomplished on the land.

(c) Riverside is listed as the town here. We've seen Frederick's and Ella's location rotate around towns in this area. Riverside is a little town west of Blackfoot and north of Fort Hall. It's another one to keep track of as a Kohlhepp land/home spot.

This example comes from the February 19, 1901 Deseret News (Volume 51, Number 77, page 8).
