"That's the biggest
piece of fOOlishness |
ever saw''--sO says il.
Williams, the owner of
the TexhOma, Okla
Texas TOwnsite in To-
.peka yesterday.

Douglas is giving away the lots
in her proposed addition to
Boise City, and as an evidence of
what Mr.. Williams thinks of the
property he applied for four lots
for himself and four for his wife
Thereby procuring two proposed
corner lots. Be it remembered
now that Mr.. Williams property
is close to Boise City, being 10
fcated on the Oklahoma-Texas
state line about fifty miles
southeast.
Mr.. Williams is not alone in
this belief. The writer is in the
same boat. And so are others.
Take for instance the lady who
came in the day before, others
who have been in from time to
time, and the same story is told
by all. But be that as it may the
fact remains that Mrs. Douglas
has advertised that she will alb
solutely give lots away in the
proposed addition to Boise CITY.
County Seat of Cimarron county,
Oklahoma, and as long as there
are any lots left she viii abide
by that decision. The only
charge there is amounts to very
little per lot, and that is for the
transfer of the property.
Perhaps the best thing about
the whole transaction is the way
in which the responses are com
ing from Boise City. People
there are subscribing for the
lots, and as a general thing when
a proposition takes well at home,
it will sell abroad. Applicants.
or prospective applicants are
privileged to write to anyone
they know or care to at Boise
City and ascertain the value of
the lots in this proposed addi-
ton.
There is no doubt but the
southwest will enjoy steady de-
velopment and increases in real
estate values with the coming of
railroads. The Santa Fe, as ev-
cry reader of this paper knows,
has built its -Colnar Cutoff line
to the KansaS-Oklahoma line.
The surveys for the road across
Clmarron county have been
made. You know Boise City is
the county seat of Cimarron
county and right in the center at
that. Strong inducements have
been offered by live, wide awake
business men of Boise City to
place the county seat on their
line.
Boise City has the best of the
business from the surrounding,
agricultural and cattle districts
and with the coming of the road,
great enhancement of values are
bound to result.
Boise City now has between
four and five hundred people.
They are all boosters for Boise
City and are expecting to get in
on this exceptional GIFT LOT
deal. Applications are coming in
daily, from the folks at home.
This is one of the greatest
propositions ever offered to To-
peka people and will not last
long.
Those caring to share in the
GIFT LOT offer should mail in
their applications NOW.
Remember, there is no hook
or crook or 'fketch" in the Doug
las Gift Lots. You simply pay
a small sum for the transfer of
the property. Here is what you
have to pay, no more, no less, no
extras, no shell game. You are
surely willing to pay for the
transfer when you get the prop
erty as a gift.
