The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1906-08-17

The opponents of Mayor Tom John
son, of Cleveland, headed by County
Clerk Salem have given up the fight
and it is conceded that Mayor Tom
will control the Democratic conven-
tion next Saturday by almost a unap-
1mous vote. 1t viii! be remembered
that Salen headed the delegation of
county officials who opposed the pas
sage of the county salary bill during
the last session of the legislature,
For this he secured the opposition of
Mayor Tom and all citizens who de-
sired reform along these lines. Salem
for long time was leader in Dem
ocratic politics in Cleveland and was
trusted lieutenant of the johnson
administration, but when he broke the
pledge of the last Democratic state
platform he was told by Mayor Tom
that he would have to get down and
out, and 1t is gratifying to know that
the Democrats of Cleveland have stood
by the mayor in deposing a pledge
breaker. A little of this same Kind
OF medicine might do the party good
IN Stark county where several individ-
uals have succeeded by making them
selves part of the local Republican
machine to secure SOM, of the minor
ity appointments that the party is en-
titled to. Until there is a general
house cleaning along these lines the
party will never enjoy the confidence
Of the people as it would IL these
"spongers" were kicked down and out.

The New State
of Oklahoma

Bigger than Missouri: as big as
Ohio and Indiana combined, with q
soil teeming with all the crops that
any State raises. OKLAHOMA-the
new State-is destined to occupy first
rank in a few short years. Here at
the present time over a million people
are duplicating the life which is going
on in Illinois and Indiana Their
houses; their towns and their schools
are newer but in nothing else do
their surroundings differ from those
in other States. Their cities and
towns are growing and expanding
with the impetus of fertile soil, and
a pushing, wide-awake citizenship.
'"rs, mainly from the older
=, e the virtue of encouraging
enterprises of every kind and the
needfulness Of getting more and better
facilities; of getting more hands to
develope the country.
In brief, conditions to-day are SIM
ply these: OKLAHOMA is in need OF
nothing save people. More men are
needed in the cities and towns more

proved land not now yielding crops Of

ings of all sorts. for farmers and arti-
sans, for mills and manufacturing
plants, for small stores of all kinds.

Another instance of how Missouri
people insist on being shown when
they have their minds made up to do
something, is proven by the following
incident: A young couple of Kansas
City had decided to get married, but
the parents of the contracting parties
objected. While they were discuss
ing their objections to the match in

g'ed a minister int the house via the
back sta re and were married in the
second foor parlor. Nothing slow

WINNIPEG BOOMER
GIVES OLD HISTORY
Veteran Real Estate Dealer Creates Stir BY Contrasting
Value, Of Quarter Century Ago with Conditions
Which Obtain Now-Minneapolis Men Satisfied WITH
Natural Conditions and Healthy Growth

would scarcely give accommodation to
mercantile firms. Housewives who had
worn, silks and satins had to do their
own homework.
Old Timers Gone.
Today five of the horde Of real es-
tate men in the business at that time
remain, one Of which is Mr.. Scott: In
the boom, however, according to Mr..
Scott, the highest price paid for any
city property would be considered a
snap now. The reason for that is that,
at that time, the country was sparsely
settled and consequently there was no
backbone to the city,. Now the city
cannot keen up with the equirements
of the country.
Mr.. SCOTS recital showed the re-
suits OF the first boomin Winnipeg.
1t was short lived affair. s. Many were
made rich and many were sent to the
graveyard because Of their losses.
Both cities have something to back
their growth and the advances are
legitimate. It has been frequently said
that the bottom would drop out of Win
nipeg's present high prices. It may.
This cannot be said of Minneapolis.
The advances which have been made in
the last few months have been legiti-
mate, and as result of the gradual
permanent elimination Of depressing in
f1uences.
Inflated Values Bad.
! With these favorable conditions and
the gradual and uniform advance of
prices a majority of the real estate
| board men fail to see where a boom
would be advantageous here. It has
been said repeatedly that the boom is
here. Hundreds have been making
fortunate investments; in real estate
Others would do the same, but they arc
waiting for the boom, which the frater
nifty prays may never come, the time
when property is traded over and ovel
again in forty eight hours reaching ar
inflated value which cannot be main
tanned. -. -
Minneapolis values at present are
based on demand and supply and the
promising future for the city.~-The

& In mis- recent address to the Winni-

Scott of that city said in the closing
paragraph: II would not consider that
I had done my duty did not warn the
young men of this association against
engaging in the promotion of outside
subdivisions, which are sure, ultimately,
to end in disaster to your good name
and certain loss, or perhaps ruin to all
the workingmen and women who may
invest their savings therein
The address, which several Mime
apolis business men have read in part,
seems to have unusual interest for the
members Of the Minneapolis Real Es-
tate board. Conditions of the Winni-
peg market are similar to those Of Min
.neapolis, both being young and pro-
<gressive cities, Winnipeg being in the
;throes Of "boom,'' however.
Much Common Sense.
z The Scott address is largely histori-
cal, but it contains a great deal of
other interesting advice and comment,
applicable as we'll in Minneapolis as in
Winnipeg.
: Mr.. Scott gave many interesting
facts about the boom of lS79-1SS2,
cleaned from old settlers. Starting
away back Mr.. Scott said that one of
the valuable tracts of land on Main
street was traded for an OK and drink
for the crowd. The OK was stolen at
the time and Mr.. Scott therefore ad.
vises employment Of real estate agent
to conduct deals.
The owner Of another piece of land
on which part of the Canadian Pacific
freight house stands, was refused a
spaniel dog for it. Other. property
went at ridiculous considerations. In
1874 the Hudson Bay company at
tempted to, boom Winnipeg property
but failed. Citizens overloaded them
selves at the time. %,~-i ..
i Boom Begins.
The boom proper began in 1881. In
September the business began to get
brisk, real estate agents numerous, and
property auctions frequent. In Octo
Der it was hard to get property at
private sale, the auction being pre-
ferred. Money was flush. Settlement
was made the following day for sales
the previous day, in which time the
property frequently changed hands two
or three times. The dealers waited
karound for their profits. Disputes were
rare Until Christmas profitable pur
| chases were made. ''. -

rush Of outside capitalists. Hotels ano
apartment houses were crowded. Whe1
