Mr.. c. L. Voss the we'll known young
Denison capitalist and read estate specu-
lator has just made another of those big
deals for which he is becoming famous
throughout Western Iowa. Mr.. Voss is
accredited to be the shrewdest real estate
buyers in Iowa. and his nerve never fails
him nor his cash either no matter how
big the deal.
He is young man, abont thjrty.five
years of age but he has already gained an
envitable reputation amoug the tinanciers
OF this part of the state. The best part of
It is that Mr.. Voss not only knows how to
make money but how to spend it in the
right way. He is among our most liber-
al and public spirited citizens and we be-
lieve there is not man in Denison who
is not glad when he makes one of his
"lucky" business successes. He is mod
ell citizen, and though shrewd business
man we have never known him to be hard
or heartless and his good deeds are cher
ished in the hearts of many. We wish
him luck in his new venture the story of
which is told in the following from the
Sioux City Journal:
The self-launched boom of Hon. 7. L.
Kamrar, of Webster City, for Congress
man, is pretty effectually punctured by a
strong editornial in the Webster City
Freeman Tribune, his home paper, which
says that it will not support him, and that
there is very serious doubt of his ability
to carry his own county. Jefferson Bee.
The beautiful 1,ooo-acre Perry creek
valley farm of Cornelius j. Mcnamara,
of Helena. Mont, three miles above the
north limits of Sioux City, was sold last
evening to C. L. Voss, cashier of the
Bank of Denison, of Denison, Iowa, for
500, 900 cash.
The sale was unique in that il was made
over the long distance telephone. Mr..
Mcnamara arrived in Sioux City Wed.
nesday morning from his Montana home
to meet Mr.. Voss. who had said he might
buy the farm. Mr.. Voss was in Denison,
and Mr.. Mcnamara and he took ur the
negotiations over the long distance tele-
phone.
"What is your price," was asked from
Denison.
Sixty thousand dollars" was the reply
of Mr.. Mcnamara.
Mr.. voss said that if E. E Selmser, his
agent in Sioux City, would say that the
deeds were all right it would be sale.
Mr.. Mcnamara and Mr.. Selmser went to
the farm yesterday afternoon and agreed
upon matters of insurance and other de-
tails. and upon their return signed the
papers which shall result in the transfer
OF the big farm March i, 1906.
Bought in Parcels.
| The Mcnamara farm was bought in
1894 by "Neal'' Mcnamara, an .'old
Sioux City boy. in eight or ten parcels. The
large tract was fenced and equipped with
a main residence, an immense barn and
numerous auxiliary buildings. Modern
improvements were installed. and Mr..
Mcnamara sought to establish an ideal
stock farm. with the especial idea Of
breeding and raising fine horses. He
made his brother, w. C. Mcnamara, his
partner, and the enterprise fourished un.
til the brother decided to remove to his
ranch In western Nebraska.
~ actually have invested 500, 900 on
this place from start to finish," Mr.. Nc
Namara said last evening at the Monda.
min. II have been told that it is worth
at least IS, 700. but have decided thai
it would be cheaper fer me to sell it at the
price. have made than to hold it and
pay man to look after it for me. Any.
how have lost interest in it since Will
my brother left it. figure that consid.
ering the market price of land in the vi.
cinity of Sioux City, have sold the
tract at sacrifice of from $40. 900 to 81 s
ooo."
Mr.. Voss will take possession of the
farm next March, and he will partition il
into 16o-acre lots.
