holding meetings organizing and discussing the subject with much vivacity and in some re respects with refreshing originality the process to is a sort of double action arrangement some of the local papers have devoted much of their space and journalistic acumen in figuratively seizing the dealers dealer selu in realty by the seat of the pants and holding them up while they floundered with all fours before the public gaze prominent real estate man has been dished ato 60 in eat ry shape until it appe appeared astae fhe was the only marketable product of the genus homo to be found in this quarter of the globe he has been at once patriot statesman orator and philanthropist but the public have been so strongly dosed with him that the oft re repealed bated reference to him as an oracle faris falls flat upon the ear of the people it may be well to consider in this connection that the boom furore which rolled over the his spent its force and matters in relation to the growth of localities have settled down to a normal state the mere abnormal abnor in regard to a given section of the country will cause the locality to be viewed with the greater degree of suspicion the

can only realize their dreams of ef wealth by attracting buyers from abroad so that changes in the of realty may be rapid and profitable it has been discovered that to induce this influx to enliven

here or elsewhere even when they do not stretch more than three quarters of a mile beyond the facts will not now be swallowed with the avidity that has bas characterized the gulping operation heretofore but even when advertising of the kind bind referred ret erred to or any other for the matter of that relating to the re sources of this section is deemed reliable there has existed largely a counter representation that has broken its force this has consisted of a fluctuating atin stream of misrepresentation of the character of the majority of the gave keople eo ale anti mormon are done more to scare capitalists than any other factor that has operated in that direction congress and aad the country have bees been pestered by persons with political axes to rand grind to produce
