Canyon City news. (Canyon City, Tex.) 1903-1908, 1905-12-22

toric man stirred the soil along
the banks of the Nile in Egypt,
land value has been based on
two important principles. They
are, first, what the land is
worth from a purely productive
standpoint; that is, how many
bushels of wheat, corn and oats
or how many bales of cotton or
other products it will raise per
acre. In connection with this,
of course, the accessibility to
market of the crops produced
must be taken into ConSidera-
ton. Second to this, as de-
termining factor in land values,
and in no wise less important, is
the question of population in the
country where the land is stu
ated. For instance, 1000 acres
of as productive land as there
is on the face of the globe, if
set in the heart of an African
Jungle, inhabited only by beasts
of prey and their no less wild
and untamed companions, say
age men, is not worth and would
not sell for a single dollar.
If that same land could be
transplanted to great western
range country where the popu-
lation was sparse but the bene-
fits of civilization enjoyed, it
would probably be worth from
81 to 81 an acre. Transferred
again to smaller pastures and
the population increased, and 1t
would sell for SO an acre. Cut
it up into farms, and as virgin
soil, it would sell at from $40 to

WHAT MAKES LAND PRICES.
Why Good Land is Higher

World than in
OtherS-The
Panhandle

An Illinois paper, the Henry
Republican, publishes the fol
lowing excellent article con-
cerning land prices-w h a t
makes them, and referring to
the Panhandle. 1t may be in
spired by Illinois people having
"Texas connections" for aught
we know, perhaps it is, but it is
a good article nevertheless and
deals with the facts as The
News sees them and is not only
worthy of careful study by the
people of Illinois, but by us of
Texas who are letting the birds
60" This Illinois paper says:
1t may not be known to the
average man why land sells tor
81 an acre in one part of the
world, $40 in another, 500 in
another and $1,000 in another,
nor is it known to many that
land actually does sell in some
parts of the civilized world at
