I.ham's Advice to tho Letter.

without taking a census Of the
nopula.ior OF Caldwell, and in no
wise defending to be exactly cor
roct VIC would estimate that there
ara no twenty-three rea! estate
dealers in this city. OF course this
estimate takes no account Of bank
ers and ministers who are working
on the sly, curb stone promoters and
others who expect a d,vy in the COM
mission. We mean men en-.
gagged strictly in the Legitimate. I"
There may be more than twenty
three but we believe twenty-three to
be far, conservatiove estimate
How these twenty-three make living
is beyond us and how they all SUP
mort carriages and automobiles would
battle old Thomas McBabbitt Euclid
himself. But it's facts, not a theory,
we are up against. These twenty
three do live and they live fat. They
dress and they dress we'll. They
ride and they ride in automobiles
No real estate dealer living in this
city has died a winter yet. 1t all
comes out of the increase in the
land values. The price is the only
thing real estate dealers raise but
they keep raising that without con
science or limit It's a cold day
when Jack Harrington won't raise
the pr CO on a corner lot to meet
change conditions.
To S.art at the beginning because
that is the proper place to start, there
is Henry Dorman. It's funny, but
it's getting so that a person cant
say anythink without bringing in
Henry Dorman. In writing this arti-
Gle We wanted to follow the advice
recently given us by DR.. Isham. Now
the Doctor is a man OF many ideas,
some of them good, some are bad
and some don't make much differ
ence any how. Tho Doctor says
there are four or five men in Cald
well who are being featured to a dis
nal, lugubrious finish His idea is
that the limelight should be turned
on some Of the others now and again.
Tic tn nks with half a show others
would act as well as Jesse B. Gowen
I. K. Place, II. l. Andrews, Henry
Dorman and f. A. Clark. The Trib
une was inclined to think SO too ant
decided TO relegate Henry Dorman
and the others to the tail end of this
procession. Did you ever try any
RELOCATING on the last above men
toned bunch? They don't relegatt
worth a continental The fact is they
are no. tail-enders whatever you may
DO. We can't help it because Henry
Dorman got here years ago and start
ed in to lay out townsites and sell
real estate. If we had been consulted
we would have had Phil Smith here
hrst Tom Johnson did it. He came
OUT nero and started tho country ant
then sent for Henry Dorman to boon
