As a matter of fact the European in business here before he reaches the "top-of-the-tree" and has accumulated enough to retire upon, has spent the best years of his life in these parts, so that his plea of not acquicing property for his own "comfort, convenience ni d ultimate finan. cial gain" on the grounds of his "short, stay may be said to be a falincy, especially so when we have in view results connected with the recent vigorous state of the local lind market, when higher rents, no leases, no repairs and very uncertain tenancies have been the ruling order of the day.

The personal chuacter of the Czar is felt by all Russians 10 be the dominating feature in the situation; it is the radical weakness of the most important put of the machine of autocracy which has failed. The Czar has succeeded in destroying that traditional halo, which has made his per- soa sacred hitherto and beyond critic.am by his subjects. Among all classes, from the highest to the lowest, from the most intellectual to the most illiterate, the Czar has lost all pres-

For instance with $5,500 a person could buy a residential property to the value of $15,000 leaving of course $10,013 on mortgage payable by arrangement. The interest he would pay on the mortgage would be less than the sum he would have been asked to pay had he rented the same property, in say onthing of his legal right to sell at a profit should such occasion offer. Another mode of securing property is for the investor to purchase a site of land w,th the money at his disposal and arrange what is termed a "building mortgage.
