OH, HO! All, Hal

To the incredulous and well meaning
gentlemen who have affected disparaging
judgments touching the possibility Of
Wichita ever getting away with Kansas
City or ever rivaling the wind wonder:
What do you think, gentlemen, of Wichi-
ta's showing last week in realty transac-
TONS which footed up S733, 755? Or of
the week previous of $6l9,515? Over
one hundred thousand dollars per day on
an average of Wichita real estate chang
ing hands, the greatest proportion of which
is going into the hands of men who bring
their purchase money from the vaults
of eastern banks. One hundred
thousand dollars added daily to
almost to any town, not excepting Kansas
CITY or Minneapolis, would have the effect
of Weakening things up. Don't you think
so? Kansas City may affect to despise
such q showing but it has only been with
in a year or so past that she ever equaled
il. If she did better last week her papers
forgot to mention the little circumstance.
1t is more money deposited in bank for
real estate transferred than any other five
cities in the state of Kansas can show for
the time mentioned And it is but the be
ginning of what will happen with the open
ing of spring when three more new lines Of
railroad will be pulling in towards the
great iobbing center Of the southwest.
