think that the property looks better
In the autumn even than it does in
spring. The autumn leaves are falling.
Also the prices on this piece Of property.
1t would be good time to buy it now.
Also good time to sell. I shall add
nothing because it has been associated
with me. That will cut no figure, for it
has not been associated with me for SO
very long or so very intimately.
The place. with advertising and the
free use Of capital. could be made a beau
tiful rural resort. or it could be fenced
of Hastily into cheap, commodious
place in which to store bears for market
But it has grown. It is wider, it seems
to me, and there is less to obstruct the
view. AS soon as communication or din
ing trains are put on between Minneap-
Oils and Sitka good many pupils win
live on my property and go to school at
Sitka. n,
Trade is quiet in that quarter at pres
emit, however, and traffic is practically at
standstill. A good many people have
written to me asking about my subdi-
vision and how various branches of in
dustry would thrive there. Having in
an unguarded moment used tho stamps,
hasten to say that they would be pre-
mature in going there now, unless in
pursuit Of rabbits, which are extremely
prevalent just now.
Trade is very dull, and first or even
second national bank here in my SUBJ
division of the United States would find
itself practically out of a job. A good
newspaper. if properly conducted, could
have some fun and get good many ad-
vertisements by swapping kind words
and regular catalogue prices for goods.
But = theatre would not pay. I write
this for the use Of man who has Just
written to know if a good opera house
with folding seats would pay a fair in
vestment on capital. No, it would not
| win be fair and honest. Smarting a.
do yet under tho cruel injustice done
mo by the meek and gentle grocery
man, who. while he wept upon my cor
rugated bosom with one hand, softly 70
moved my pelt with the other and sprin-
kled Chill sauce al over me, viii not
bet.ay my own friends. Even with my
stah bleeding carcass quivering under
the Haford sauce of Mr.. Pansley, the
akin" and hypocsite, the friend Of the
tar distant savage and the foe Of those
who are his unfortunate neighbors, !
win not betray even stranger. Though
have used his postage stamp, I win
not be false to him. An opera house
this fall would be- premature. Most
dates arc booked. anyhow.
We could not get Francis Wilson or
Nat G. Goodwin or Rosina Vokes or Ed.
win Booth or Mr.. Jefferson, for they
ne all too busy turning people away.
md would hate to open with James
owen OConnor or any other mechan-
cal appliance.
NO. Wait another year at least. At
present an opera house in my subdivision
% tho solar system would be as useless
g Dull Thud in tho state Of New York.
One drawback to the immediate pros
'erity OF the place is that Communication
ates so far are yet in their infancy.
