THE PRICE OF HIGH LAND.

While those who own good quarter
sections in Crawford county are rejoic-
ing over the steadily increasing value of
their lands, it is we'll to consider the
other side-the price we are paying for
high lands. What hope is there for the
poor but ambitious young man in lands
that sell fol $780, $40 to $500 per acre.
He sees no way in which he can buy a
home, and the very prosperity of the
county as evidenced by the increased
farm values, is driving from us some of
the best young blood we have. To a
certain extent the very conditions that
drove the Germans from their father
land, that sent them from Germany to
Pennsylvania, from there to Illinois,
from Illinois to Scott and Clinton coun
ties and from those counties to Craw
ford ARE being repeated here today. The
cheap lands attract, not only the ambit-
Gus young man making his start in life,
but the small farmer whose eighty acres
is not enough and who finds that he
can sell his farm in Crawford for enough
to purchase and settle upon much
larger farm in the Dakotas, in Mime
sofa, in Nebraska or Missouri The
more adventurous are being driven by
the high prices, to the more northern
states, where the prospect of gain eur
mounts the additional discomforts of
the severer climates. Others already
shuddering from northern winters are
being driven southwark, where the cost
of living is less, where the coal famine
does not bring such hardships and
where there are fewer of the discom-
forts of the pioneer. Thus such states
as Missouri, where advantages are
mary and where low-priced lands are
still to be found, is reaping the benefit
from the one class, while North Dakota
and similar states reap the benefit from
the other. We presume it is but the
natural tendency of the race, the ten
dency that is placing the mastery of the
world in the hands of the Anglo-Saxon.
We hate to see the sturdy sons leave
good old Crawford, but we cannot
blame the young man who seeks to
build home, and carve fortune for
himself

le bid was not considered.

the Ola was not cOlSlQerSQ.
Secondly, every BID was made on the
basis that the expense was to be borne
by the bidder.
Third, MIR. Bechtel's representative
was present. ready to guarantee the
800 and expenses, had he been allowed
the opportunity.
Looked at in any way the deal is a
bad one for the county and reflects SER
ously upon the business Judgment, ca
p4city and sense of fairness of the
county treasurer. His attempts to JUS
tify his action by a play upon words
saying that "by the 10th means the
18th; his further bubble as TO the
meaning of the bid which he refused TO
consider, and his contempt for the
rights of others. all make a very poor
showing for Mr.. Kuhl.
This one fact should be clearly borne
in mind, either through the stupidity.
incapacity or unfairness of the county
treasurer the people have lost not less
than $500.
Mr.. Kuhl wishes us to state that Mr..
Bechtel's Geographic instructions to
his representative did not explicitly
state that he would pay $3.50 and the
expense of issue. The telegram in
question was not bid to the treasurer
but message of instruction to his
agent. Had MIR. Kuhl inquired, had he
not declared the bonds already sold, he
would have found that the bid as it
would have been made would have in
cluded all expense. We have been fair
to Mr. Kuhl: we accuse him not of dis.
honesty. but OF stupidity and incapac-
ity. This much, even his Democratic
confreres concede.
