1t seems that Superintendent OF
Schools Mcclure was between the
devil and the deep sea when he had
! to make that decision in regard TO
making new district at Clifton. If
/ he granted the new district a great
many votes would be alienated in
/ Garfield and Pear Park, and If he did
not grant it the same thing, though
/ perhaps on a smaller scale would hap
| pen with the Clifton votes This is
of course presuming that politics en-
tered into the decision. Anyway the
Z Clifton people are highly incensed
and promise to make things warm for
Mr.. Mcclure They will oppose him
| for nomination and If he is nominat-
ed they viii fight his reelection. AS
the old fourth readers used to say of
| the life of the sailor. Take it all in
all. the life of a politician is indeed
hard one. Palisade Tribune.
The two middle weeks of July the
real estate sales of J. Richards & Co.
reached the astonishing total of $3O.-
600. For the whole month of July
last year none of the real estate men
here made many sales. This time
of the year is not usually a very
busy season with the real estate men.
This wonderful increase in land deals
over the previous years is therefore
taken as an indication that this fall
and winter Will witness phenominal
u NHaaHH HwnHNHm
tenths of the real estate deals for
land under the new canal were made
by people living here? Such being
the case it would surely seem that
new comers need not be afraid to in
vest. G. w. Bowman, one of our
most conservative men. has probably
been the heaviest investor in this land
and for some of this raw land he gave
as high as $500 an acre,-Palisade
