REAL ESTATE
VALUES INCREASE

Day by day transfers OF real estate
are made IN this city and vicinity ag-
sfegating thousands of dollars. The
demand for homes far exceeds the sup
ply, with the result that values are in
creasing by leaps and bounds.
For the benefit of home seekers, The
Evening Journal has opened it's col
umns TO persons who. wish to buy rem
or sell, and has no hesitancy IN stating
that the chances for profitable real es-
tate transactions were never better
than at present.
Since extending this service to the
people Of this city and surrounding
states, this Office has received numer-
GUS requests for information from many
sections, from persons desirous OF en-
gaging in business or locating their
home in Wilmington.
In view Of the fact that a great scar
city Of small houses az moderate rental
exists II would seem as II capital
should be soon forthcoming to erect
such homes. where the wageearner and
his family might live in comfort at
reasonable expense.
or course. this scarcity OF homes de-
notes that the town Is wonderfully pro-
crossing; that its Industries provide
employment for many more employees
than can find homes here. Therefore
II this condition could be remedied, the
city would Increase largely in popula-
tion and tax value, results to be ear
nestly hoped for.
Among some of the properties offered
for sale In the building Of the Whining
ton Military Academy, which is IN the
hands OF Tatnall & Co, OF III West
Ninth street This place would make
splendid sanitarium or boarding
school and would doubtless prove a
veritable gold mine to any one taking II
IN hand.
The Delaware Trust Company have
also an attractive list OF properties for
sale, including some of the choicest
moderate sized residences in the city.
The Geo. r. Townsend Co. and r.. c.
! Lupton & CO. are seldom without bar
gains In the same line and a splendid
assortment OF homes can always be
found on the lists OF Carroll w. Grnhth,
the enterprising dealer Of West Ninth

BANKING
is STRICTLY CASH

John S. Rossell. trust officer OF the
Security Trust and Safe Deposit Com
pany, on Thursday addressed the COM
mercial students OF Goldey College on
the subject OF business and banking.
Mr.. Rosseil discussed the workings
Of banks and trust companies, showed
the difference between them. and spoke
of the issuing OF money by national
banks
The general idea" he said. is that
banking is a cash transaction. but. as
a matter Of fact. very little banking is
strictly cash. There is practically little
money used in the banking operations
Of the world. Nlnety-four per cent.
~ all the business OF the United States
is transacted by the medium OF checks
and only 6 per cent. by the actual use
0f cash." Though in 1900 banks and
trust companies In tho United States,
there are 81. 600 900 900 OF deposits, the
total ciroi1lation OF this country is a
little ever 5000. .oo0. 900. due to the fact
that banking is conducted largely upon

Why IS A PLEDGE NECESSARY


Henry r. Asp. general solicitor for the santa Re rail-.

That Aldrich Of Connecticut whose daughter married

Now why Oklahoma be pat into such a position?
without reflection upon the integrity of Henry e Asp
why should the state put itself him in the

Are there not enough in Oklahoma not allied to
