tell you where to find the other side @
the question. Call on Messrs. Denni
and Bradley and ask them to show yo1
their addition. They are the real estat.
men Of Spokane. Here you'll find tree.
planted, streets graded, side walks laid
houses build, electric road through
their addition and the fullfllmept Of al
their promises, as near as I could learn
What's the consequence, its the best anG
safest addition to invest in to-day in
Spokane. I'm not even acquainted with
Mr.. Dennis and have only had few
moments talk with Mr. Bradley, but
these gentlemen understand their bus
mess. A real estate man has no more
! right to misrepresent his property in
order to sell it, and ought not to be pro-
tected by the law any quicker than the
merchant who sells No. for No. l stock.
Prima facia evidence should adiudge
whether it was done with intent to de-
ceive or not; and it should be SO looked
upon, then we would have real, real
estate men"
"Well the duties of real estate man
are SO numerous I'd rather sing you a
song than commence but I'll sum them
up in nut shell and then tell you story.
First OF all, know your property thor
oughly, (very few know what their ad-
dition looks like) grade your property
as to its eligibleness, know every lot in
it 80 you can handle it to an advantage
without lying, desp1se a liar, and if 1
make a sale in this town and uninten-
tionally misrepresent any property I
have sold, I'll make it right before the
sun goes down If it takes the whole of
College Hill Addition to do it."
"That's pretty strong isn't it?"
"Well sir its so, I had to make an
assignment once and I gave my creditors
every thing I had except the clothes on
my back and my trunk. have never
been into crooked transaction or an
swerable to law, and all the money in the
state of Washington couldn't induce me
to now. Now for the story: A certain
Spokane real estate man ii. 9. he thinks
he isl had listed 100 acres of land, quite
a ways out, at $15 per acre. I knew l
could get it less 30 met the owner and
told him to put it at $12 and give me
800 commission and I'd sell it, 80 he
did and T sold it, sold the very man he
listet it with one half, and lady the
other, (thS sale went through his office
understand) }. after it was closed I asked
him where I came in; OH he says, Nc.
you sell it for $15 per acre and I'll give
you half I make Well sir I had a
dream that night, and thought I was
plotting the Garden OF Eden, and this
great man came along and wanted a lot,
and sold him the tree Of knowledge.
Pullman is quite town, but what room
you have for improvements, and what ad-
vantageS you have for such Improvements
if you'd use more zest and more aggress-
iveness. PllEtell ssyou what I'll do; put
III tho btafik Ere tIhI0saess93 drllars.- snh-
ject to bills for expenses of advertising
your town, and guarantee me the sum of
twenty-five thousand dollars, and pn in
crease in value every piece of vacant real
estate in the incorporate limits of your
town fifty to one hundred per cent. in II
months, and if I don't I'll not demand
one-haf farthing. I'm going to do con
siderable advertising for College Hill
Addition, and its to be done in quite a
novel way. I've ordered upwards OF
thirty thousand feet of lumber to.lay
5000 feet of 5-foot plank walks, and I'm
going to set aside 10 per cent. of all the
moneys paid to me for College Hill prop
erty as an improvement fund, and put
every dollar of this right back into the
addition. No man who is close-fsted is
a fit person to trust with any addition
around your town; he can't look far
enough ahead. Take the visionary man
of Spokane who blew the trumpet with
tidings of great Joy at the advent of a
gun factory for Spokane; he was looking
far enough ahead, he thought, but he
ought to have been ridiculed from the
gulf to the lakes. Well when [ heard it
said: yes, of course, the next enter
prise I'll hear Of will be walking shoe
factory, 500 men at work and Just from
Lynn, Massachusetts"
"By the way, did you notice card IN
the Spokesman saying: 'Thc VIM. X.
Mclean spoken of in our Christman issue
is no relation, nor is he connected with
J. D. Mclean, r. n, or l.. Mclean? y ,
"No didn't"
"Wen in the first place I'm going to
call upon the Spokesman and see who
published the article, for their represen-
tative was here for two days and asked
me not only for an ad., but said he would
like to take hold of the townswith me, 1
refused persmptorily. Ny reply to these
gentlemen, one of whom obtained the
tree of knowledge in my dream, is that
we are not connected, neither by blood,
ties, or interest, telephonically or tele-
graphically, ingeniously or disingenious-
ly, mentally or physically, terrestrlaily
or spiritually, IN heaven or out OF heaven,
or by any other way, discovered or un-
discovered"
"You look quite amazed, and l know
I have surprised you, I'm a different
man entirely from what you took me to
be and havn't said a great deal either,
but I'll tell you one thing before I bid
you sdieu, some of the most perfect gen.
tlemen, best educated, most intellectual
men I've ever met were real estate men.
Pardon me now, I'll see you again"
