SAFE INVESTMENT
IN THE MISSION
Section of the City That Is
Growing With Remark
able Rapidity
Valencia Theater a Fair Sample
of the Class of Buildings
Being Erected

There can be no safer investment In
the city than Mission property, and real
estate men like D. Coffin & Co., who
are doing business in that section, re-
port a steady increase in the number
of inquiries for improved property ana
say that buyers are beginning TO real
ize that Mission property is safe and
sane investment, where the percentage
on money invested is never below 10
per cent, as proved by the large num-
Der of new flats that have been rented
recently.
The books of D. Coffin & Co. show
6S new flats taken since the beginning
of the month at an average rent OF 50
a room.
The continued progress of the Mis-
sion. which has been proceeding with
remarkable activity, Is to be improved
by the erection of a four story class A
building near Mission and Twenty
third streets for A. B. Clute. This
building will be among the best In the
city.
The Valencia theater, handsome
class A, fireproof structure. is another
new building of which the Mission can
be proud. This theater will open it's
doors within a short time and will
show just what the Mission can pro-
duce.

Co.'S transactions during the week:

Republican Ticket

Republican party. OF the parties
now asking recognition from the
voters in the United States the Re-
publican party IS the best and

he is the man who has the most
practical knowledge of statesman
ship, is man of broad mind, keen
perception, good judgment and has
shown himself to be fair and just
in all his actions.I am for M. N.
Johnson because in all the strifes Of
political turmoil with its charges
and countercharges of corruption and
dishonesty by the different parties
and factions in the same party, no
one has ever accused M. n. John
son of being either incompetent or
dishonest. I want to see A. J.

Since ] took charge of 'Minot Pos
ten it has never had any ironical
confession There are many who
think that it is Republican and that
, for good reasons. I have given the
Republican candidates and the Re-
publican party more attention than
have any Of the others. This have
done for the good reason that the
! Republican party is the ruling and
/ the Republican candidates have the
+, best prospects Of being elected, 1t
(! is therefore Of the greatest in1l.Ass-
! ance that good Republicans are mam-
/ mated. It is those who are elected
/, who do the work and 1t is on the
! quality of the work that the whole
! public management depends. all
/ of the opinion that good man
elected by the ruling party can do
more good than the same nlan can
do if belonging to the minority party.

Editor "Independent."

] find an editorial in your paper
of Sept. 17th which is misleading
to your readers as 1t conveys wrong
impressions at three different points.
1 do not blame you for making any
misstatemept as you do not read the
"Minot Posten'' and are not there
fore in positino to Judge its contents
or its policies. You have no doubt
received your information from what
you consider good authority and ac-
cordingly make your statements.
The three points at which your
statement brings out misleading idea
are found in the following express
sions. First, you can say that I
''took few slams at the Republican
party" Second, you say, "just what
has Gro ~sed, his path is what his
friends are trying. to learn" Third,
chat hereafter the "Posten" will
consider principles before party
l submit to you translation of the
editorial of the issue of "Posten"
referred to. You will please publish
in order that your readers can have
chance to Judge for themselves.
This, 1 think, explains my posi-
ton. It was never said editorially
or otherwise in the paper as long
as l was editor that "Posten" was
Republican. If there are any
Slams" at the Republican party in
that particular issue or ever was
anything against the Republican par
ty as a whole, would like to have
it pointed out can say that there

In answer to your question "Has
the 'Posten' been switched to the
Democrats can frankly and
truthfully asy than it has never
switched" as. long as I was editor
I supported Taft for president, NJ. N

Sitting by the fireside dreaming,

How long the rain will last.
For it seems to be amending
AS the clouds OF drifting vapor;
While listen to the patter

I'm holding down homestead,
And the shack in which live,
Is shingled with tar paper,
And leaks just like sieve;
Even now the floor is flooded
All the furniture's in soak,
And the wet coal in my burner,
It will only lag and smoke,
Rather damp sit here musing

He might plead with me for mercy
But you bet, he'd plead in vain.

Thus my fancies idly caper,
As listen TO- the patter s

For out on this arid desert,
In this land OF dust and heat,
The mud and waters deep enough
To float battle fleet,
But enough, my lamp is failing,
And the flames beginning to flicker
So quickly don my night robe

And blow out my faring taper,
So retire to sleep-No, listen
