COUNCIL BLUFFS DOING WELL
Building Activity over There Results
in Big Demand for Unim-
proved Property.

Council Bluffs is essentially a city of
homes and the real estate transactions for
last year and the first three months Of the
present year demonstrate this. The real
estate market has been particularly active
for the last year or more, with "a steadily
increasing demand for building lots
Real estate agents say but few pur-
chases have been made this year for
speculation and that most of the sales Of
city property have been to persons intend
ing to erect residences either for homes
for themselves or for rental purposes.
Values have increased slowly, but steadily
in the city and unimproved property which
little over a year ago was to a great
extent, drug on the market today is in
active demand. especially II desirable for
building purposes. Last year witnessed
the greatest activity in building in the
history of the city, so far as residences OF
all descriptions are concerned. In every
section of the city new residences in the
course of construction are to be seen this
year and the prospects for another big
building record in 1906 are OF the highest.
Mechanics, railroad employees, motor em-
ployes and other worlxingmen are starting
out to own their homes and this has re-
suited in the sale OF hundreds OF unim-
proved lots, particularly in the western
part of the city, where for years the owners
were unable to secure a market, and real
estate in the wetsern part OF the city,
while not demanding high prices, is meet
ing with ready sale.
The number of new warehouses, ele-
vators and factories has. resulted in an
active market for trackage, property and
a steady increase in. the value of such lots.
Pottawattamie farm land a few years
ago scared until good land could not be
bought for less than from SIS to 500 an
acre. These prices still prevail and trans
actions in farm land IN this county reached
a record mark during 1906. If the records
for the first three months OF 1906 indicate
anything, the mark reached last year will
be passed this year. For March of this
year the real estate transfers as recorded
passed the million-dollar mark and this re-
suited almost wholly from sales of farm
land. Despite the present high value OF
farm lands in this county, real estate deal
ers assert that a great deal of the buying
of such property was for speculation and
also as a good Investment for idle money.
The following tables show the cash con-
sideration for the real estate transfers
for last year and the first three months
OF this year.:

Interest in the wealth OF spring bloom is
apt to prove stumbling block to the
amateur flower grower Just now. Window
gardens and conservatories demand spe-
cial attention to keep up1the brilliant dis
play OF blossoms. Florists windows prove
alluring and the hardy bulbs springing up
outside make us forget the necessity Of
preparing for summer bloom. The hardy
perennials must not be overlooked, how
evers and, early April lssthe time to plant,
divide and reset them. Many of the clumps
in the home garden will be better for d.
viding at this season, not only because OF
the increased number of thrifty new plants
thus secured but because the old plant
will make stronger growth when allowed
the extra room and fresh soil which ac-
companies the dividing. The new plants
TO be purchased this year will also give
better satisfaction II they receive atten-
ton now; being hardy, the cold nights
which may still be expected. will not In
lure them and the early April planting
will give them good start that will enable
them to Withstand the summer heat.
= The old-fashoned aquilegia or colum.
bine is too well known to require de-
scription, as no well-regulated garden fl
without a cluster of these famous old
perennials of "grandmothers day" But
the novelty in aquilegias, "coerula," de-
serves special mention Though still
classed as new and novel" It only needs
to become known TO make II the most
popular OF all. It has been described as
the true blue form OF Rocky. mountain
columbine," which may give but little
impression OF its beauty, however, to those
who have never seen this mountain dwelleI
in its native home; but II does not resent
transplanting and grows readily from seed
planted at this season, II roots cannot be
secured, as the last years elumps begin
to push through the soil.

while you are taking account of what
a vegetable garden helps you to save"
says the Kansas City Star, don't forget
that It also has a moral worth that should
not be left out of the reckoning. You may
not have thought of it before. but gar
den is a great aid in getting hold of the
fundamental things of life. 1t is human
nature in its real essence that makes you
dig up garden seeds to see If they have
begun to sprout. And this clean and
wholesome interest follows the develop
ment OF the garden in all of its stages.
1T is a miracle and a wonder as old as
Nature when the little shoots of green be-
gin to push up through the brown soil. but
it is ever new and inspiring. There is
nothing much lovelier or more fascinating
to the eye than just lettuce and beans
and peas and potatoes and corn in the
first stages of their growth. Can't you re-

IGININl return of warm weather.
- Isn't 1t too bad so many people
neglect their back yards?" said one. Most
back yards are used as convenient place
for storing refuse. The owners simply
ignore them. It's a funny thing to me that
so many can't or won't realize that the
back yards can be made a very pleasant
spot. Summer will soon be here. The ma
jority of families haven't any front yard
to speak OF, yet in nearly every back yard
there are quite a number Of square feet
of space. Now, with just a little adorn-
ment the back yards could be made
mighty comfortable place for the family to
spend its evenings after twilight

That's right" said another. "rve al

The same is true when new
enterprises come to old towns
giving them a kind Of business
resurrection.
People do not stop to consider
that what the average town
wants is buyers not sellers. The
great Industrial cities of the old
.er states have been made such
!, by the bringing in Of a consum-
ling class. 5ss
A city usually has every trade
| line fully occupied and when an
enterprise comes which adds a
few hundred to the buying class
| the established businesses are
always able to fully supply them.
Tt is. well to understand that a
boom for a city means more peo-
IpIe to buy not more to sell. sS
These people must have the
opportunity of employ Of
converting labor into money, and
by so doing they increase their
Individual wealth. But if 50
many are engaged that competi-
.tion becomes a scramble for the
chance to earn dollar, these
people become an injury to their
individual prosperity.
The same is true in business.
just as many as can do business
at a reasonable profit in a COM
munity are a benefit. But when
more than that number are
found, they fail to add to their
individual wealth and conse-
|quently the community becomes
poorer, for the wealth Of a com
munity can only be determined
by the wealth Of the individuals
forming that community.
It is the violations Of these
fundamental laws Of political
economy that cause boons to col
lapse leaving financial ruin in
their wake.

AS a summer resort, this city
will always be a favored loca.
ton.
Not only during the meeting
eff the assembly is the park a
place of pleasure and recreation,
but both before and after it is
crowded with campers and cot
tagers. NJ
There would be more of them
|if there was a driveway between
the city and the park.
Such a boulevard should be CON
structed at least sixty feet wide
and should be bordered with
trees. During the busy season
at the park it could be lighted
by electricity and a drive over
it would be a genuine pleasure.

The Chautauqua ISOLATION
would certainly be willing to
bear a liberal share Of TIE ex-
pense Of construction and main
tanning it. The city could well
afford to do its share also, while
the business men, and the livery
men especially could afford to
make some liberal donations TO
the enterprise. I
As a matter of fact the oppor-
.tunity for some of5the most de-
lightful water excursions in the
country is almost at our door,
yet because Of the imp disability
of reaching the lake shore, but
few people in the city enjoy them
With a boulevard to the park,
the. boats on the lake could con-
duct a series Of excursions which
would be largely patronized if
for no other reason because Of
the opportunities for recreation.

GOOD ROADS NEEDED.

The Inter- Ocean has repeated
" stated that one Of the things
most needed in this county in
the way Of public improvements
are a number of specially built
roads from the different parts Of
the county to this city.
There are several well founded
reasons for this plan. Devils
Lake contains more people than
all the other towns in the county
and it is therefore the largest
and best local market for farm

oroducts in the county.

products in the county.
During the sunmer, the Chau-
tauqua meeting and the races
bring several thousand people to-
the city and these add very
materially to the local trade.
The coming of the railroad i'm
provements will increase the de-
mands for farm products.
To make the city available to
the greatest number of people,
there should be four or FIVE pro-
minent roads from the city into
I the different sections Of the
country and these should be kept.
in such a condition that the
farmers could use them with
comfort at any and all times.
Macadamizing wouId of course
be out Of the question in this
country, yet they could be SO con-
structed that the maximum loads
could be drawn over them with.
the miniulm expenditure Of en-.
ergy. They should be such that.
the farmers could make the.
shortest time in travelling to and
from the market. s555
