SECRETS 0FJ0 RTUNES Buy Eeal Estate While Everybody Wants to Boll and Sell When They Want to Buy. HOW CATHERINE MADE HER MONEY A New Ibtor for the Weit Side Eapid Transit is Being Loadad Today in Ogden; Several years ago, when Catherine Woolf of New York was in the prime of her mental vigor, and at a time when she counted her millions with eight figures, she was approached by nn inquisitive questioner with the interrogation in-terrogation "of tho secret of her wealth, of the faultless recipe which she had followed so successfully and which had culminated in makiug her the richest spinster in New Y'ork and probably the wealthiest single woman on the globe." Her answer is worthy of repetition, and if followed in Salt Lake, would terminate just as it terminated for her. She said that "the making of my fortune for-tune was the simplest thing in tho world, for I do not claim to have the organ of acquisitiveness acquisi-tiveness unusually developed or any special capacity, for money making or saving. But early in life I laid down one rule, from which I havo never swerved, but have ever adhered to, whatever the discouragement. My motto has been: Buy real estate when everybody wants to sell and sell when everybody wanted to buy. I never found this principle to fail me, and the following it is tho whole secret to my fortune. There are times of inflation anil of depression; there have been periods when property in what is now the choicest portions of tho city was in great disfavor; and when it was depressed de-pressed in price I purchased it; whenever when-ever either the market or public opinion opin-ion reacted, and a great demand was created, 1 sold, and that is all there is to it." This quotation was the topic of conversation at the meeting meet-ing of the real estate exchange this morning and was argued as particularly par-ticularly applicable to property here, not because there was an overwhelming desire by everybody to sell, but thero was not the remotest prospect that properly pro-perly could ever be bought so cheaply again as it can be at this moment. The vast enterprises that will soon be undertaken un-dertaken here will apvance values very materially. The time to buy is the present and the time to sell will come in the future.

Everything in tho chamber looks as if it had come out second best iu an encounter en-counter with a heavy weight cyclone, aud it is almost pitiable to see the secretary sec-retary walking about amid the supreme disorder and confusion vainly endeavoring endeavor-ing to preserve his equipoise of temper. "If I don't got moved pretty soon," he confided to a reporter, "I will waste awsy until I look like a seraphim who lias just come out of a forty days' go-as-you please fast with Succi.
