ACQUIRING IT'S RIGHT OF WAY.
Omaha .S Fort Dodge Company Al
mosi Done with the prOceeding.


The sheriff's jury that was to have met
yesterday morning to appraise property
north of the city condemned for right of
way by the Fort Dodge & Omaha railway
adjourned to March / on account of the
illness of W. H. NJ. Pusey and T. ]. Evans,
two members of the jury
The details of the settlement between the
Fort Dodge & Omaha railway and A. G.
and L. j. Gilbert were completed yesterday
and conveyances of the property required
by the railway company for right of way
were filed for record in the office OF the
county recorder. The conveyance not only
includes the five acres OF land owned by
Gilbert Bros. near BuTket place but also
their grant of a right of way over their
leasehold in Lakeview park The consider
alton named is $1,000.
This settlement gives the Fort Dodge e.
Omaha road now clear track for its right
OF way, excepting few lots abutting on
the avenues vacated by the city. which the
railroad is compelled to acquire through
condemnation proceedings, owing to slight
defects in the title.
The acquiring by the new railroad OF its
right of way created real estate boom in
the district through which its line will run
and property owners were able to dispose
Of their holdings at figures they never
could have expected under other circum-
stances. This does not mean, however that
the Fort Dodge & Omaha was "held up"
for eXtravagant prices, but the value of the
property naturally took an upward turn
when 1t became known that the railroad
wanted ii. The representatives of the rail-
way are we'll satisfied with the price they
had to pay, and real estate men say the
road on the whole acquired its property at
reasonable figures This is due, however,
to a great extent to the fact that an agent
OF the new road bought large percentage
Of the ground before 1t became known that
the purchases were being made in the in
terests of the Fort Dodge & Omaha rail-
road. When the fact became public prop
erty real estate in the vicinity of the pro-
posed right of way acquired an increased
| value The entrance of the railway into
this city has been a great boon to many a
property owner who had almost despared
Of ever being able to dispose of his hold
ings and the annual taxes on which were
proving a heavy burden.
