The query is hoard in varied ( onus , some wanting to know one particular , an other a dilTorcnt ono. Business men east and west arc ( -ending inquiries about this , oily , its growth , advantage' * , etc. To answer tlic'-o questions intelli gently , and present facts without color ing , Tin ; HKK has boon feeling the public pul o by touching its rcporlorial linger to the wrists of a number of those eiti/.ens who are thoroughly conversant with the situation and prospects of the eltTlioso gentlemen are bo well known that their opinions will be read with interest , home of them do not re- bide here , but all of them have made themselvesthoroughly conversant with the matters concerning which they wcro questioned. Mayor Kohror "Yes. I am well ac quainted with the history of our city. Nearly till the years of my life have been pasted hero. I luivo seen a struggling frontier town grow into this metropolis ; have .seen it take on its elements of strength and beauty. 1 have watched it closely all these years , and I am free to say tbt't I have found no city cabt or west which has had a more steady , solid growth than this has. Years ago tlio length and breadth of the city could bo traveled in a few minutes. it has ex tended its borders so that its residence area comprises about eighteen square miles. Yes , its business has developed proportionately. U.s school system is the nqual of any. Its churches are the pride of all. In these nearly every shade of religious belief is repre- sente'd. " 'What is the financial condition of the city ? " ' If you mean the stability of itb busi ness men , I may say its rating ib far above the average. There have been loss failures than in any city of equal sr/.e in the United States' . " "Hut 1 mean its condition as a cor porate city1" ; "Oh , yes. Well , you must consider that until about lieears ago there were few public improVements , and all has boon crowded into a few years. Considering- this fact , our ta.\cs are very low about 5 per cent on the valuation. This valuation is very low low indeed not more than ( iO per cent of the valuation in bimilar cities. Our bonds are at par in the eastern markets , and many ol them litid ready sale tit home. These securities are regarded as the vorybcbt. Our linancial condition could not bo bolter. " "What do you think of the future pos sibilities of the city. "Why. I think no. t don't think I know Council BlulVs destined to bo not only'tho banner city of Jowa. but of the northwest , Omaha oxeeptod. Op portunities for making money1 Whya man cannot help but make money , if he invests his money here. " C. E. Bell , of Bell & Bcrlinghof , architects "ion't bother me with ques tions , please. We're so busy we don't know which way to turn. We have to work night and day to keep our heads above water. " ' 'What plans have you now on hand ? " "Plans ? Look at this. ' ' and be pulled oiion ji drawer. "We have now in the ollice $ U.i,000 worth of work. " "How does the business now compare with that of a year ago ? " ' "Wo did a good business then , but we are discounting it now. Council Bluffs will sec moro building thib year than during any previous two years. ' ' Lucius Wells , of Deere , Wells & Co. "Seven years ago certain agricultural implement linns established headquar ters hero and erected buildings , ware houses , etc. This was , of course , to moro readily reach their north western trade. The coming of these brought others , iintil Council Bluffs has como to bo regarded as the distributing point for this territory. It is the terminal point of nearly 40,0U ( ) miles of rail roads.1 "What has been the annual increase in your line during the past seven years'1" "Fully U'll per cent. Our trade last yearoxcecdeii by far that of any pre vious year. This year wo expect to greatly exceed tlio business of last year , which is saving a great deal. " "flow do you regard Council Bluffs as a distributing point ? " "It is the very best , because all the railroads except one that traverse the northwe&t reach us. Council Blull's sustains the same relations hero that : j Chicago did to the west twenty years jc ago. 1 confidently expect within live 1 years to see a population of nt least 1c UoO.OOO people in Council Blutls and Omaha. " J. II. MII.I.AUD , of Omaha , president of the Omaha National bank , after cor , dially welcoming the questioner , said : "As you know , my dear sir , 1 am not the owner of a foot of real estate in Council BlnDs , yet I have watched the progress of the city with o great deal of interest , and I firmly believe it will grow beyond the expectations of its most sanguine friends , " ) "You are treasurer of the Omaha and Council Bluffs bridge company , nro you not ? " "Yes , and I suppose you want to know what have been the results of its opera ) tion thus fur. I believed and said at the outset that there was money in it , ; md I was not wrong. Although people lid not see it , the construction of the L motor line was of great benefit to Coun cil BlulTs , It opened up and made ac cessible a bolt of territory which was indeuirablo for any purpose. It lias In- jroascd property values , not only along . -ho line , but over tlio entire territory. believe you will see 60,000 people in Council Uluffs before you know it. And ihon Omaha will have 150,000. As the vcst develops , the advantage ? of this as i distributing point will bo more and nero seen and utlli/od. This country lias a great future before it , and a man an hardly go amiss in investing his money hero. " Simon Kisoman , of Henry Eieoman ft Do. "Wo have been , in business hero iwoaty-two years , and have built up the .argent trade , wo believe , in the west. Wo did the best business last year wo 3vor did. Our trade lias increased at .oast 8H per cent each year during the past five years. " "How about the trade going to Omaha low that the motor line is in operation V "I don't ' take any stock in it. Wo got .rnde every day from Omaha. Why ? Uocauso , in many lines , wo can soil joods cheaper than those merchants Jan. ' "Ilow'g your faith in the future of , Council niutlsV" "It looks as if itas pretty 1- -l . F" li. ' doesn't it , when wo tire putting up the finest block In the west ? Wo expect to get into it in the spring , and wo will then show you what business can bo done. Wo shall increase our trade oO nor cent the first year. Council Blulfs is all right , and there is no bettor place nnj where to make money. " K. II Odoll , senior member of Odoll Bros. \ Co. , real rslato and loans , and who was for years the secretary of the board of trade , was also questioned. "I have been in active business hero Mnoo 1S"0. At that time real estate values were about on a par in the two cities. Business property could then bo bought at from * iiH ! ) to' $850 u front foot , and best dwelling property from * MM ) to WUOO per lot , llfty feet front. The prevailing rates of interest on loans was I ) to 10 per cent. With commissions , etc. . it amounted often to liJ per cent , From 187il to IShO there was little progress in either city , and few transfers of real estate were recorded. The completion of the Union Pacific transfer buildings gave Council BlulVs a slight Impetus , but the establishment of ITnion Pacific headquarters and the machine shops in Omaha gave that city an advantage which Council BlulVs has never been nblo to gain. From IbiU to 1.SS5 Omaha's population increased niarvolously , and real estate values rose accordingly. Omaha sprang Into rank as a great city. Meanwhile Council BluIVs steadily nulled along , increasing to 25,000 inhab itants , but property remained about the same , the advance being slight as compared with Omaha. Various lines of rnilwavs came in here , to connect with the Union Pacific. Public im provements followed , but still there was littlp advance in prices of really until the charter was granted for the new wagon and street car bridge. The boom of IhhO struck us. it nearly knocked us real estate follows silly. Everybody losj their heads , but the excitement - citemont subsided , and real ost.ite got into a mure normal condition. It has steadily increased each month since then. Sales have been very satisfactory the past year. Prices tire low , very low. compared with other cities. ' ' "Why. there wore more dwellings built hero last . \earthan in any other two years. Tlio city's improvement bonds sell at a premium ; investors on bonds and mortgages are less skeptical , and money is now loaned at ( > and 7 per cent. Although wo have handled nearly $500,000 annually , we have never had to sue a note or foreclose a mortgage. Doesn't this speak well for this neck of the woods1' Charlo P. Bruslan , of Minneapolis , who is associated with others in largo real estate deals , and who has been lately investing hero , was asked like queries. Ho remarked : "As you are aware , [ am considerably interested in Council Blull'h real estate. Within the past three months I have purchased over live hundred acres of land adjoin ing flu-city and Manawa. tit a coil of from WO. ) to O)0 ) pur acre , and am still in the market for moro at the same or even a higher price. I have just re turned from a trip to Now York and Boston , and have also visited St. Louis , Kansas City , and numerous other cities , and find land corresponding to what I have here , worth from $ : ; / > OU to 81,000 per aero. The low price * cautrht mo and I invested. If eastern capitalists only know of t hcso chances they would soon bo all gone. " "You evidently have confidence in the future of Council BlulVs ? " "Yis , sir , I believe the prospects brighter than those of any other city 1 have visited. Business in real estate circlet ) is lively hero , while dead in other citic . Minneapolis claims the largest building record of any city of its size , but I find jour last year's record was laigcr , comparatively , than Minne apolis' , and for this year there are al- rcadv about MX ) residences being con tracted for. besides twenty-three manu facturing institutions. Several largo deals , in which Boston capitalists are interested , will be consummated by the 1st of February. " "You are interested in Manawa ; can" you give some idea of what is to bo done there this season ? " "It will bo preeminently the greatest season ever bnown at the "lake. Motley will not be lacking to build the drives and malcc other improvements. The hotel facilities will be enlarged , and the management made lirst class. Mr. Berry , the siipurinloMtlent of parks in .Minneapolis , will bo here this week to look over tlio grounds , with a view of : seeing their needs. The railway facil ities will also bo improved and in- created. No , sir , I don't want home property while this chance is open for quicker returns and larger profits , I expect soon to get moro per lot than I am paying per acre , and that is good enough for mo. " "What do you think of lots in Omaha abutting on the river bringing $ ; { ,000 a lot , and almost within a stone's throw oi the other side , in Council Blull's , you can get better lots for WOO to $ -r ( )0. ) Umatia lots ain't too high , but Council Bluffs lots arc too low in price. Why n workman in the smelting works can got ii home within five or ten minutes walk from his wo'rk for a few hundred dollars lars by just crossing the bridge. Other wise ho wil have to go out three or four ii i IPS to got the same kind of a homo in Omaha. The fellows who own prop- jrty on Lower Broadway and vicinity > iiayogota bonanza , if they will hold mto it a few months. " . W A. Maurer "Wo bought out the etail stock of W. L. Wnitney eight 'enrs ago. Wo began business with n . iiimll trade and have { frown to bo the argost wholesale crocitory house in the vest. Our trade is confined to wcstorn owa and Nebraska. " "What increase hist " was your year ? "Fully 8 per cent. " "What is your opinion as to the prose - o cts for the coming year ? " "It will be the best wo have over ex- icrionccd. I am buying with reference o the largest trade 1 have over had. Jouncil Blullri has reached a point in opulation , wealth and energy where here is no such thing as stopping her rowth , " "Then you must think Council BlulTs - good place in which lo invest money , ir locate in business ? " "Certainly 1 do. I don't know of a illy any where which is so sure of giv- ng handsome returns on investments .3 this is. Yes , sir , Council BlufVs will mike money for any ono who will como icro. " S. B. Wadsworth , of S. B. Wadsworth s Co. "About two years ago. through rionds , we learned of the advantages if Council 13lutfs , and wo decided to aunoh out hero. We have no reason o feel sorry for the stop. Our business ias increased over since wo started , Hiring 18S8 we loaned a quarter of a nillion dollars , and 1KSI ) promises still letter returns , Wo have no trouble in onvincing our eastern customers that iroporty in Council Bluffs is worth what ho owners ask for it. Examin- ra of loans are generally willing o accept our valuations and make them ho basis of the loans. I think there ro very few cities in the United Stales . rhora the increase of values is so cor- ; nln as it IB in our own city , Almost : vorything wo have hoped for has been cali/.ed. Our now bridge has been luilt ; our electric motor runs to per- action ; our city will soon bo ono of the icst paved in the country ; our various lusinoss blocks now being erected ; our xcelleut school buildings und churches , > and our hundred of line now cottages and dwellings alt combined will cer tainly add strength and vigor to ub- slantlal growth In'tlio future " N. P. Dodge , who'has IHMMI resident of this citj Mneo 'Wll ' Yes , 1'vn ' ecu some increase in population. When 1 cnmo hero the population was between one and two thousand. In 1S70 wo had about 10,000 , in t.SSO about 20,000 , and now I flitppo o wo have ; ! 0K)0. ( ) Wo have had a healthy , steady growth from jear toetir. . "In what year did the city have its greatest growth , and what about the radius of population compared vsith five years ago ? " "Tho hist two years have given us the most substantial improvements , ami 1 think our population will show a larger increase during that time than any other two year- * . The ra dius of the city has been extended in every direction , but the growth toward Omaha along the line of the electric motor and south toward lake Manawa is most noliccnblo. and the present year will likely show still greater changes. " "How do real estate values compaio with other cities ? ' "Very much lower , good business and residence property , and lands ad joining the city nro exceedingly low , and rents are also low. " "In what do you see evidences of fu ture growth and prosperity ? " "Our locution is in the center of the best agricultural country in the west , and our railroad facilities far reaching. Our business men are doing a safe , legitimate - gitimato business , and ready to encour age every worthv enterprise. " "Our citizens have never been so con fident of the continued growth and prosperity of our e'ty ' as now. The re ligious mid moral clement i.s gaining in power and inlluoncc. This an import ant factor in our prosperity in drawing to us moil of worth. ' " J. O. Tipton "During the seven years I have lived bore the city 1ms had a steady healthy growth. The past two years have been the best , of COUI-MJ. During 18S8 her growth was phenom enal. All lines of business are pros perous , the merchants are happy , and everybody feolh good. 1 am pinning my faith to Council Blull's. This year wiH be the best one the city has over seen.

How the Now York World Floored the School l Cornell. Ono of the most amusing incidents of ecent date is the utter overwhelming of tlie College of Journalism at Cornell iniversity by a bonsi fide order from the New York World for a special dispatch ipon four hours' notice. This vaunted College of Journalism , of which the country has heard so much , is a largo ) ue. The World , hearing that the . ,200 students of the university had jeen ordered to submit to vaccination , sent a private dispatch nt 2p.m.cn- ragiiig the whole school of journalism a write an account of thi * vaccinating sprco , specifying that the report must bo liled at 7 p. in. To Prof. Smith , the dean of the College - lego of Journalism , the World telegraphed "Please wire World full graphed : re port made by yourschool of thovacciiiii tion of Cornell's thousand students- scenes , incidents , etc. Must file the report by 7 o clock , as a test of the cllici- ency of school. ' ' To the president of the university the World tclcgraped : "Tho World is anxious to employ the services of your college of journalism. It engages the entire school , at space rates , to make the report of the vaccination of Cor nell's thousand students. " This floored the school completely , boinjr faced with work which went one step beyond Prof. Smith's delightful theories. The professor admitted later that ho had no report to send. Presi dent Adams , L. L. D. , of the university , thus exposed his want of faith in their machine journalism bv ' replying : "Ithaca , N. Y. , Jan. IS. [ To the edij tor of the World. ] Your dispatch was received at ( i0. : ! 1 fear it will be im possible , Perhaps Smith can manage it. C. K. AP.UI.S. " But Smith had already flunked. Four hours' notice was lee short a time in which to prepare a news account of a matter going on under their noses. The purpoios of this Cornell College of Journalism may not be understood. The presumption has been that it was / to train writers for newspaper work" . I This must be a mistake. Tlio preparation - | tion must have been for writing for tlio * almanacs in view , or at any rate for nothing which appears oftencr than once a month. The annual encyclope dias and biennial registers would prob ably crowd flic school of journalism to its capacity , but it may never recover from the effects of the shell which the World exploded in its halls1. If the destruction is complete , peace to its ashes. The Kciuonliin l < : i | > . It is doubtful if there bo any mascu line lap. The male of the human spe- uios has knees , and that is all. " So says it philosopher in the Now York Press , who goes on in this strain of light and nir.y porsillago : Marco Palo , Herodotus , or some other listinguished liars , tells about certain far countries where it is the astonish ing custom of the young men of the Lribo to carry on their courtship of the jqunwsby holding them "on their laps" ivhilo they point out the olTulgentmoon Lo llieso r'omnrkablo young women , and ay plans for future housekeeping. But both of those worthy historians nro apt Lo use their words carelessly ; and it is to irobablo that even if such strange poo- lie and customs' do exist , the young ivoman would laugh at the idea that the 'oung men had anything but a pair of nero or less bony knees on which to told them. But the femonine lap is indispensable o the female , Man has no such com- irohciisivo convenience. She keeps ancy worlc in it ( except for the acui- lontal ball which rolls out ) , she lays lown books in it , it holds her handkor- ihiof , bonbonnieru , flowers , programme if at the theatre ) , fan , muff , parasol ; lor pinto and tea cup ( if at supper ) and .11 her ondlcss impedimenta. It is a locket all mouth an adjustiblo table , bureau drawer , a work basket , a va- El iso , and , above all , a desk. Just why a woman should bo unable o write upon a table or desk like an irdinary male CliriHtiaii it is idle to onjccturo. A recently published nc- ountof Olive Thorn MillorV literary -orkshop gives an apt illustration of ho curious idiosyncrasy of womankind , iho has a pleasant , well-lltted room , rith flowers and books and pots and a csk. This piece of furniluru Is tin- cribcd as being covered with books 11 nil manuscript , while a lap table on rhlch she writes lies among the papers waiting her convenience.
