HISTORIC STAGE COACH.

One OF the most interesting relics Of
obsolete postal service to be seen at
the museum in Washington, says the
Washington Post, is an old time Rocky
Mountain combination passenger and
mail coach, built In 1868. This was
among the first of its kind to carry the
mails in Montana, the route OF this par
ticuIar coach being from Helena to
Bozeman, the trip consuming a week.
The residents along the same section
now receive four mails daily. The
coach WINS donated to the museum by

There is a good deal of talk about a
boom in real estate. There is no boom
nor any semblance Of a boom. The mar
ket has a good healthy tone with but
little increase in values, and largely
increased demand, especially for better
class of property. l find that people here
and abroad are getting an erroneous idea
OF the conditions existing here. We are
getting letters every day which read some
thing like this: ~ ..-:,:
Il am glad to hear that real estate is
in it's old time form in Minneapolis and
understand that you are having full
fledged boom. If such Is the case I want
to sell my property while things are at
the top"
In many instances ridiculous prices are
marked on these properties Our bust
ness. for January and February has been
probably 100 per cent better than during
the same months year ago, but the buy
ing is all for legitimate purposes anc
largely for Improvement, there being very
little of the speculative element in the
market. I don't look for large increase
in values this year on account of the
enormous amount of vacant property with

You ask me to give you my opinion OF
the real estate outlook for the coming
year. 1 can say emphatically it was never
brighter. Everything points to great &C
tivity and not In the dim future either,
but within the next three months, The
inquiry already Is very encouraging, both
for business locations and homes. One OF
the encouraging signs to me is that hard
ly day passes but that some tenant who
has been renting from me makes an offer
to purchase the house he has been renting
and while such persons do not always
want to pay all cash, they usually offer a
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1902-02-19
substantial cash payment, all of which

substantial cash payment, all Of which
indicates that working people realize the
desirability of owning their homes, and
that they will probably never in the his
tory of Minneapolis be able to purchase
them as cheaply or on such good terms as
now. Another reason is that the extern
sive purchases of land by the different
railroad companies and the recent sale OF
practically all the manufacturing plants
that have remained idle SO many years,
and the charging of a number of the other
manufacturing plants, have stimulated the
inquiry for that class Of property as never
before. So that, taking all these facts into
consideration, l cannot see why we should
not look forward to a very active year. Do
not understand me that I look for any
thing like a boom. I do not.
AS further Indication of growth in
Minneapolis, and consequently of an in
crease in values, l can rent fifty houses
in Northeast Minneapolis before April
to new families coming to the city, all of
them engaged to work in new manufac-
turing plants.
A good healthy, active market is what
we all want|to see, and it is what we will
