BUYING LAND FROM SHARKS

While the boosters and boomers
have been enjoying banquet of
prosperity for a number of years. ii
is quite apparent just now that the
most of them are in the dry dock
taking a rest. Still il is noticeable
that the land sharks are busy and
have been for a number of years.
now selling land, good for anything.
from Puget Sound to the Everglade
of Florida. These fellows are not
real estate dealers of the booster
class, but just sharks. Instead of
being man-eating, they are money
eating. They buy up large tracts of
land costing from 81 to Sc per acre.
Then they divide this into bait, or
rather small tracts. so that 1t can
be easily swallowed without the hook
doing much damage to the individ-
ual.
1t looks attractive to many rent
ers in the large cities, as well as
to the people where land is worth
from SIS to 5000 per acre. When
they see in glazing headlines the
glaring figures of land from $40 to
s25 an acre on almost any terms.
they are almost ready to jump out
OF their boots. Thousands of them
invest some of their spare money
and the cost of a small acreage is so
trifling that they do not care to
spend railroad fare to go and see
II. They buy, and when they be
come wise. ascertain that they have
paid about five times the price for
the land, and many times It is unfit
for anything. There are perhaps
more of these operators OF late years
in Florida lands than any other
state. and Colorado Springs seems
to be n regular nest for these fell
lows. Other companies buy up swan
