the appraisement and in less than three years from date they will be worth considerable more. The value of real estate depends upon the future of any city. Prices on real estate is governed by the demand. We must make that demand, by bringing more people, more real estate buyers and more renters. This regulates the price. Whether real estate shall advance. depends upon our people to ! make the demand. Let’s make the demand. But there is much yet to do. While we are rejoicing over the accomplishments of the past five days, let’s gird ourselves for a renewed effort during the week to come. Let’s finish in a blaze of glory. ■-■- ■ - 1 The Indiana legislature was great •on boosting things. It not only in- , ‘ creased the salary of every county --east’rer in the state, but also boosted the salaries of judges up to $3,500 per year. On top of that they paid an old claim of $120,000 to Vincennes University, going so far as to pass it over the governor’s veto. It was an old chestnut that has been turned , down for forty years. Then they vot- 1 ed $25,000 to the Jamestown Exposition, an affair that will likely compare with a good Norther* Indiana fair. Later on the people will find out what else the generous legislators have done. —Columbia City Post. , Homseeker’s Excursions to Michigan I March 15 and 29. April 12 and 26. j E ay 10 and 24. G.
