This change was made because
there are already two Southern Ida

Realty company" and the Gilmore
Real Estate & Development company
has no desire to encroach upon the
rights of others or in any way what
soever attempt to usurp the energies
and efforts of these other companies
through any diffusing of the names.

for any number of good, live real es-
tate concerns and all should profit in
some degree by the efforts set forth
by these companies in Advertising
and inducing settlers and homeseek-
ers to come to Sunny Southern Idaho.
The real estate man, next to the
irrigation company which furnishes
the life-giving waters, has been the
greatest factor in building up the
west. He has spent vast fortunes in
advertising the productiveness and
advantages to be found in this great
country and in other ways has in
duced the homeseeker to come west
and Get piece of land" The real
estate man is ever on the hunt for a
new citizen to invist in town and
country property. and every time he
brings a new man to this country OF
sells a piece of property. he enhances
the price of your property, and in a
dirct way everyone benefits by the
activities of the live real estate con.
Germ.
The Gilmore Real Estate & Invest.
ment company will not spare litera
ture or advertising matter in spread
ing the facts regarding this section o.
southern Idaho They will tell the

MAGAZINE REVIEW.
How Cheap Is Human Life?

One Of the curious things about the
fearful story Of death by violence is that
human life is cheapest, not in the large
cities, though Of course the total number
Of deaths is greatest there, as the casual
observer might suppose, but in the small
er cities. And nowhere are lives held
so lightly as in the smaller cities Of
Pennsylvania. Measured by the deaths
by violence human life is cheapest in
Butler, Pennsylvania, where the annual
rate Is 3794 per 100000 population.
Pittston in the same state stands second
with q rate Of 1896 Iron Mountain,
Mich, is third in rank with rate Of
2007, then come McKeesport, Pa, 290l !;
Shenandoah, Penn, 1888; Pottsville,
Penn, ZIG Pueblo, CAL, is seventh in
the list with rate Of 1908. Altogether
there are more than score OF small
cities, half of them in Pennsylvania, the
rest in New Jersey, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Maryland
in which the death rate by violence ex
ceeds the highest rate in any large city.
This highest rate for large city,
1909 per 100000, is found in Pittsburg.
II to this be added the death rate from
typhoid fever and other preventable dis
eases, Pittsburg may be fairly deemed
entitled TO such glory as may attach to
the fact that human life Il held cheaper
within its boundaries than in any other
civilized community.
The total number Of deaths by vio-
ience in 1906 and the rate per 100000
inbhaitants from that cause in seventeen
af the Iarger cities are set forth in the
following table;

THE MINISTRY TO RESIGN
Committee Feared Powers If Abdicatior
Were Forced--Martial Law in City.
COnstantinople Troops Take
Oath as Demanded.

London, April 22.--The latest des-
patches from Turkey had been preceded
BY rumors that Abdul Hamid had saved
bis face and that an agreement had been
reached under which the ahmy Of the
Young Turks was not to take the city.
1t was said that this agreement was
reached principally because the troops
from Adrianople had remained faithful
10 the Sultan, under the influence Of the
Softas, or Mohammedan students. There
were also reports that Germany had in
terYened in favor OF Abdul Hamid with
the committee OF union and progress.
In the face Of these reports, however,
it was evident that the constitutional
army was drawing its investing lines
from San Stefano closer around the
western and northern sides of Constan-
tinople 70 the shores Of the Bosphorus.
The actual investment Of the city was
delayed until the invading forces became
so Overwhelmingly large that military
resistance would be hopeless and a mob
would be powerless to create disorder.
In their proclamations the Young Turks
had declared that there would be no
bIoodshed.
The dispatches say that al through
yesterday Abdul Hamid remained at the
Yildiz Kiosk, apparently determined TO
await events INTERESTINGLY. He had been
in almost constant consultation with
Grand Vizer Tewfik Pasha. These con
ferences lasted through over thirty
hours Of forty.eight. II was IN follow.
