FREQUENT SALES OF
TWO-FAMILY HOUSES
Large Investments in This Class
of Real Estate.
TERMS TO BUYERS ARE EASY
Nearly Every Available Tract of Land
About City Has been Grabbed Up
by Spectators. and Many of Them
VIII BE Opened to Home Seekers
During the Ensuing Year.

The fall season in the real estate busi-
ness. which may be considered now under
full Roadway. is marked by the frequency
of sales of two-family houses. Apparently
speculative builders and real estate dealers
have invested large sums il houses Of this
description and sales are now taking place
with the purpose of acquiring financial re-
sources for further operations. Most of the
sales recorded of his class of property
show an excellent profit for the investor.
Usually the terms of sale give the oper-
ator n cash payment Of from $1,000 II
$1,000 and a gIlt-edged mortgage for the
balance of the purchase price.
Outside of this class OF real estate trad
ms the transfers recorded are mainly of
investment propositions. 1t appears that
CO pitalists not only of this city, but those
of the metropolitan district. are awake to
the opportunities offered by the rapid
growth of this city's suburban ter
ritorv. Tract after tract has been Sc
cured, until scarcely an available location
remains for the speculative investor. On
each of these tracts large sums Of none
are being expended. and where were a few
months ago barren fields and unlmproved
farms are urban conditions and environ
ments.
All of this new territory Is being, or will
shortly be offered to homeseekers on the
modern investment plan. permitting people
of moderate means to- acquire homes on
small monthly payments. The popularity
and success which has attended the OPEN
ing and sale Of the tracts which have now
become thoroughly incorporated with the
city make his particular line of the real
estate business the most promising of the
Immediate future.

1t is not to be wondered at that
several members OF the city council
have grown rather tired OF the long
drawn out consideration of the mat
ter of the construction of the noun
tain water system. However. as was
stated last night. the matter of the
expenditure of several hundred thou-
sand dollars of the peoples money
is no small matter. Or again is the
letting of such a contract, involving
such large sum of money an every
day occurrence with any member of
tho council or for that matter of anv
citizen or combination of citizens IN
Grand Junction, All the time spent
while 1t may seem to be lost time. is
time well spent in our Judgment II
Is true that this council may never
let the contract or commence opera-
lions on the system. but the knowi-
edge which they have gained will be
of immeasurable value and service
to their successors. whoever thew
may be.

Did Senator DeLong miss gold

the people in the light Of an untram-

We think he did, we feel that the po-
sltion that Senator Fred Parks as
sumed, should have been the one
taken by Senator DeLong, Senator
Parks said that he was not going to
stand for any railroad bill that did
not mean anything. or II 1t did mean
anything that 1t was more favorable
to the railroads than If no bill were
presented. Some say that Senator
DeLong is not going to run any risks
OF being disciplined by the party lead
ers again. That the position he took

There are two primal conditions
that have conspired to retard the
work on the mountain water system.
and we speak to some extent today
on the mountain water question, be-
cause of It's vital Importance to every
citizen and interest In this city and
these are that the cost of material
has raised so appreciably in the last
year and to the fact that the bond
market is at rather low ebb and
has been for six months past. There
are many other conditions but we set
these two as the primal ones. If
lumber was being sold at the same
price as it did a year ago and our
bonds were sold and the cash depos-
tied in the bank, all other trivial mat
ters which might affect the building
of this great system would be soon
brushed aside. We believe that mon
ey will be saved in the end to the
taxpayers because of the apparent
slowncss with which council has pro-
ceeded in the matter. We do not
find ourselves feeling at all chagrin-
ed over the fact that no contract has
been let thus far. We feel convinced
that every step that has been taken
by council was n necessary one. To
throw down in our haste, loopholes
for extravagances or to permit those
who might desire to profit at the ex-
uenae of the npOpIe ouuorttnftv 10
secure a contract without every pos
sible safeguard being thrown about
the contract, would be an irresponsi-
BILE and unwarranted act, which
would ever after call down the con-
demnation of the people.

With wide stretch of sea between
the two steamers which ran afoul of
each other in Long Island sound. 1t
cannot seem to be possible that two
steamers well manned and oficcred
could run into each other with such a
great loss of life. If the night had
been dark or there We're no signals
aloft, there might be some possible
excuse. But the captains of both
steamers say that they were seen by
each other miles apart and yet the
terrible catastrophe was not averted.
There is something horrible in con
temptation of the disaster, which
seemed unnecessary. Some one
blundered awfully. There was nc
narrow passage which both steamers
were In duty bound to keep and avoid
danger. but a wide open sea. in which
there seems to have been enough
room for squadron to maneuver. II
is almost beyond comprehension OF
the average man to discover cause

One of the Hvliest sessions of the
city council held in months took place
last night. It was a long session
marked with various strenuous sit
uations especially when the noun
tain water system contract was up
for consideration. It was a busy ses-
sion and great amount of business
was given attention.
No contract for the construction
OF the mountain water ,ipe line was
awarded at this meeting in spite OF
the predictions of many.
The session opened shortly after

POSSIBLE EFFECT
 OF NEW MOTTO
Question Arises Whether the 4,OOO or 5000 NOtaries in State May Not
 Have to Change Seals.

One of the last acts of the legisla- ture just adjourned was the passage of the much-talked-of bill changing the motto on the state seal from "Regnant Populi" to "Regnat Popu- lus." Just what effect this act will have on the users of the state seal is a question that at present no one seems to be prepared to answer. It seems probable that the great seal of
 the state which is in the office of the secreatry of state will be changed and that soon, as will also he the seal in
 the office of the Supreme Court Be- sides these two seals, there are some
 1000 or 5000 notaries public and each of these has to use seal, and in the
 majority of cases the seal used bears
 the coat of arms. Should it be de-
 cided, through strict Interpretation of the law, that each of these seals had to be changed, it would appear that the bill should have carried an appropriation with it, for the expense of having the seals changed would in the aggregate amount to something like $S,OOO Or $10,000 The cost of the
 seal in the secretary of states office was $25, the Supreme Court seal cost
 $16, and the notary public seals cost
 $3.5O each. Some of the. notary public seals do not contain the coat of arms, but a prominent jewelry firm which supplies large part of the seals used in the state said yesterday that most
 of the orders they received for nota- ries seals were for the ones with the coat of arms.

In the aforesaid article the Graphic re- ferred to Mrs. Meeks as Mrs. Sal lie E. Meeks. said to be the wife of J. w. Weeks, an East Sixth avenue grocer" In the complaint the defendant was named only as Mrs. Sallie E. Meeks." The city editor of the Graphic made dili- gent inquiry to ascertain what Mrs. Meeks was the defendant, as there are several families by that name in the city, and was told that the defendant in the case was the

AN INsUPPORTABLE SCANDAL.

The New York Evening Post does
 not mince words when it criticises
 the two. United States senators from
 the Empire State of the Union. It
 says: "A more pitiful object than that presented by the senior senator
 from New York it would be impos- sible to think off one could
 wholly forget the junior senator. Separated from his wife, sued under scandalous circumstances by an- other woman, and now living in a little apartment with paid care takers-over all this we would, of course, draw the veil were he merely broken-down private citizen, the victim of his own frailties. But he is senator of the Empire State. and the example he sets to the young men of this commonwealth makes comment nec- essary he Republican party of this state may be willing that it's good name should be so disgraced, but the retention of Thomas C. Platt as senator is daily disgrace to every decent man and woman in New York. His party has chosen a splendid governor and has at last given proof that 1t really wishes to consult the interests of the peo pie. It's next step toward re- Mobilization ought to be the purging of the party of both it's senators. And if the Republican leaders have no shame left, the family of the senator ought to end a spectacle which is deplorable from every point of view. A letter of resigna- tion is all that is required to termi nate this insupportable scandal

wife of J. w. Meeks, but notwith-
 standing he made several efforts
 to reach Mr. J. W. Meeks over the telephone, but he failed to do so,
 and was therefore unable to con-
 firm 1t before press hour. There
 fore he used the language said to
 be the wife of J. w. Meeks,"
 which was used in a descriptive
 sense and for the purpose of identi-
 flying the defendant.
 But, unfortunately, there are d lot of evil-minded, misunderstanding
 people in Pine Bluff as elsewhere, and the language used in the Graphic was perverted and used to the discomfort of mind of Mir. and Mrs. J. w. Meeks and construed by some evil-minded persons as a reflection upon their marriage re- lation. Mrs. Meeks therefore called the Graphic up by phone and said that she could produce her mar riage certificate, if necessary. It is needless to say the Graphic re- grets that the language used was susceptible of any double construc- tion, which is one of the peculiari- ties of the English language. The editor of the Graphic has per sonally known MT. and Mrs. J. w. Meeks for a number of years and they are people above reproach. They are old citizens of this city and county and enjoy the respect and esteem of all who know them. The Graphic regrets that any lan- guage it has used should be so mis- construed by would-be mischief makers as to cause either of them any mental discomfort, and we make this statement in order that there may be no doubt or misunder- standing about the matter.
