REAL ESTATE DEALERS SUCCEEDED BY BUSINESS
men IN RIFLE-A ASSOCIATION FORMED TO SELL
DIRT ON HONORABLE BASIS, SAYS Ed McLEARN

Real estate dealers are being su-
perseded by an organization of busi-
ness men in Rifle these days and the
new departure in land-selling is prov
ing a whirlwind success.
Like many other localities Rifle
has suffered from the work of wild
cat land dealers who bring settlers
in on the most absurd promises of
productiveness, sell him tract of
land, pocket the commission and
hunt for the next one. The result
is too pathetic to be repeated in its
effect, not only on the individual,
but the community as we'll.
Rifle has come to the conclusion
that business men who value the flu
ture business of a farmer will be
more likely to give the homeseeker
a square deal than the realty man
who is only concerned in the com
mission. Ed McLearn, the pioneer
business man of the live little town
on the Grand, is here today. and
explains the new movement. THE
Chamber of Commerce has for a
long time been putting up the mon
ey for advertising and the realty men
have been pocketing the profits. We
decided" says Mr.. McLearn. Ito
form business mems association on
new lines. Eleven of us got together
and put in S25 piece to start busi-
ness going. We selected man to go
east and hustle up land buyers. We
| offered him no salary, but paid
his expenses and when he made a
deal we gave him 10 per cent of the
commission. The commission is 10
per cent of the sale and the 80 per
association.
The idea started off we'll. Our
man made two sales, brought in two
families and in the process spent
S10O. The associations profits were
$3.50 and the salesman got his ex-
| penses and not quite hundred more.
Now, we've sent out another fellow
and he's lined up on some good
prospects and we anticipate that he
will do considerable business. In
this manner the community gets new
families, the settler gets a square
deal, the salesman gets a fair prof
it, and the association gets more
money to do the same kind of work
with"
The grocery and dry goods houses,
he fruit growers association and the
bank are in the association and il
carries the weight of liability by rea-
son of the character of men who are
doing the work.
Rifle, however. is still welcoming
| honorable real estate men and is
| anxious that as many more people
as possible be brought in. The bust
ness men, on the other hand, are de-
termined that they shall reap the
profits of their invested money and
they seem to be doing it.

Throughout the province of Oriente
panic reigns. The white people of the
province are taking refuge in the cities
and all mills have suspended opera
tions, which will involve great loss to
the sugar industry. The local authori-
ties have been unable to afford pro-
lection to the people. The troops are
all massed in volumns and the rural
guards are too few and scattered To
make any Roadway against the insur-
gents. Unable to secure the protee-
ton of the Cuban authorities many
American planters have appealed to
the commandment of the naval station
at Guantanamo to send guards of ma
rines and buejaekets to their planta-
lions. Such a movement will involve
the consent of the Cuban government,
In addition until the arrival of the
auxiliary cruiser Prairie the number
of marines stationed at Guantanamo
will be insufficient to supply the guards
