The Real Estate Man and the Re.
 porter of the Tucson Citizen.

Reporter.-I have called upon you this
 morning in behalf of inquiries as to real
 estate values in Tucson. It has been said that men who wielded the pen sword in combine with those who measured
 city real estate and sold it by the square
 iuch and square foot had in a unity of
 action caused cities to spring into exist ence like magic and forced from nation eXelamations of wonderment and ap-
 plause.
 Real Estate Dealer Be seated, Sir; your expressions stir my heart to a de- gree. that will not admit of nasty utter ances from fear that they may be mis- construed as coming from personal and SC fish motives, but I have always known and am of the most emphatic opinion at
 present that the Press has been 8 most powerful lever by which the notice of capital has teen attracted to the most favorable opportunities that this western country offers both in real estate invest
 ment aud the liberal rate of interest paid
 to those who seek to invest their money.
 l can speak highly of Tucson real estate | values. They held at good strong prices six years ago and to-day the prices are strong with ar upward tendency. As a city with a bright commercial outlook l think Tucson stands most favorable in ! the eyes of shreGd business men who can
 diagnose city's business opportunities ! and trade in the future as accurately as a bloodhound upon the foot trail of fugi- | tive slave.
 R.-Do you claim that Tucson's dis 1 t8nce over 300 miles from Los Angeles
 and several hundred from Fl Paso would place it in the position of d large dis tFibutipg point in the wholesale and re- tail deparl menls aud forge for it the i'm
 portant claims of a radiating lat-ral railroad metropolis equally as important to Arizona as Salt Lake is to Utah? R. E.. b. take ID your quest OPS at once. l think they are clear and con- else and bear to lhe point upon the real future of Tucson. 1 have implicit faith in this city both at present and as to her destiny in the future. Tucson has been doing a quiet and extensive trade and now shows a disposition to branch out in that trade and also new firms Of solid financial standing have express ed an inclination to cast their future m our midst l look upon Tucson as city of recognized geographical trade import ance. and as such has bright future.
 R.-In furtherance of our united sen timent and in a spirit of complimentary retaliation for such laudatory and ab- solGtely truthful utterances, here make a gOOd-day bow of grace so perfect as would completely moderniZe the ancient Cherterfeld and cause the heart of Tucson young lady to go into an exstacy of admiration.
 R. E.. D Il, tcO, in dutiful recognition of your suave aud prac ical utterances and es' eeming the graceful attitude of your Chest erfildian pos ton do hereby resolve myself into Chesterfield and as neatly as lay in my power bow you to the door of departure.
 At this moment Professor Buehman, one of the most noted photographers in the west, snapped kodiak and the real estate Chesterfield and the pen-swiping Chesterfield pose in graceful attitude in the laboratory of Professor Buehman on Congress street where they are looked upon with more favor than Sullivan or Corbett.
