tits interesting at the end OF the year 1850,
q fairly prosperous one in real estate, and at
the beginning of 1881, which promises to be
ore Of the most profitable years Chicago real
estate has yet had. to look back over the
vicissitudes Of the
EARLY YEARS OF REAL ESTATE
in this city. We have found some very inter
esting items on this subject in an old copy of
the Rcnl-Estate RevieaO OF two years ago in
an article by s. II. Kerfoot, Esq. He says
that he has had friends, some OF whom are
still living here, tell him Of their having shot
ducks where the fremont House and Sher~
man House now stand.
Now, let us follow by only two figures the
value of those properties, the one fronting
50 feet on Lake and $50 feet on Dearborn
streets, and the other fronting $50 feet on
Clark and SO feet OIL Randolph.
THE FREMONT HOUSE LOT
was originally patented i'll the year 1881, with
eight other lots in the neiglborhood, the
consideration for the whole nine lots being
three hundred and forty-six {Sss4G) dollars.
The original purchaser was John 3. Bea11-
bien, one Of the, family Of renowned memory
here in Chicago.
The one lot has since been considered
worth certainly $,50o00 and is now beyond
question worth from S150, 600 to 500, 600.
TIE SHERMAN HOUSE LOT,
directly opposit the elegant structure now in
process of erection for the purpose Of the
County Court House and the City-Iali, fronts
$50 feet on Clark street and eighty feet on
Randolph street.
This was pure hased ten years after the
fremont House lot by Silas ". Sherman for
$G,35s. No one will gainsay that this lot ex-
elusive Of the splendid hotel now OH it, is
worth S225000.
This property, like all other central prop
erty, has been improved all the while, at first
with what were then very fine buildings As
time demanded more elegant ones they came,
so that the property has been yielding con-
slant return, greater or less. while at the
same time it has been growing in value until
it has reached its present status. .
Now then, charging it. with its original
cost thirty-on years since, and interest and
taxes all the while, and creditine it with the
fair ground rental and its present vaiue-see
how far the rise will out-1distance the cost,
interest, taxes, etc.
NO MERE INVESTMENT At INTEREST
could possibly equal this transaction.
To show how estimates Of value varied in
1871, the lot on the southwest corner OF
Washington and La Sale streets was in that
year purchased By P. F. ". Peck for s2.l66.

BUILDING PERMITS
for 1SsO are more than 25 per cent greater in
number and so per cent more in value than
those Of 1879. III 1879 there were 2+909 per-
mits issued for buildings that cost over So
100000. So far this year 3,743 permits have
been issued, and the value will be 50 per cent
greater. The foregoing figures do not In

10! The Poor Indian!

President Hayes has sent message to
Congress in regard to the future treat
ment of the Indians. He says:
"Our general Indian policy for the
future should embrace the following
ideas: First, the Indians should be pre-
pared for citizenship by giving to their
young of both sexes that Industrial and
general education which is requisite to
enable them to be self:supporting and
capable of self-protectiou in civilized
communities, Second, lands should be
allotted to the Indians in severalty, in
alienable for certain period. Third,
the Indians should have fair compensa-
tion for their lands not required for indi.
yidual alotments, the amount to be in
vested with suitable safeguards for tlieir
benefit. Fourth, with these prerequisites
secured, the Indians should be made cit.
izens and be invested with the rights and
charged with the responsibilities Of citi.
zenship. 1t is therefore recommended
that legislation be adopted in regard to
the Ponca Indians authorizing the Sec
retary of the Interior to secure to indi
vidua! members of the Ponca tribe. in
seyeralty sufficient land for their support,
inalienable for term of years, OF until
the restriction on alienation may be re.
moved by the President. Ample time
and opportunity should be given to the
members of the tribe freely to choose
their allotments, either on their aew or
old reservation. Full compensation
should be made for the lands to be rein.
'auished, and for the losses to them by
Sioux depredations, and by reason oil
their removal to the Indian Territory, the
amount named in the declaration of the
chiefs made on December 27, 1880. In
short, nothing should be left undone to
show to the Indians that the Government
of the United States regards their rights
as equally sacred with those of its citi'
zens. The time has come when the
policy should be to place the Indians as
rapidly Us practicable on the same foot
ing with other permanent inhabitants Of
the country. | do not undertake to ap.
portion the blame for the injustice done
to the Poncas. Whether the Executive
or Congress or the public is chiefly in
fault is not now a question Of practica
Importance. AS the Chief Executive al
the time when the wrong was consum
mated, | am deeply sensible that enough
of the responsibility for that wrong justly
attaches to me to make it my persona
duty and earnest desire to do all | can t
give to these Indian people that measure
Of redress which is required alike by jus
tice and by humanity"
RUTHERFORD 3. HAYES.
