focusing swiftly on whatever is in

jars the finished author. There is all
the apparent effect of hitting the mark
and yet it is seldom that he reaches
the heart of the matter. That scatter

LAND VALUE OVER DOUBLE
Farm Sells for 500 an Acre that
Was offered for $45 in 1898.
NEW HOME FOR MRS. MARY REED
A.. L.. Reed Buys Corner mt Thirty
Sixth and Dewey for His
Mother, Who VIII Build
Brick House.

Ten years ago George L. Stifel of Wheel
ing, w. Va, offered to sell, and all but
did sell. a 160-acre farm near Elkhorn for
$5 an acre. Friday John Kunnemann
bought it of Stifel for $4,000, or at 500 an
acre. The $5 price was unusually high
for 1898, for land was not selling advan-
tageously tL,en, the period of crop failures
being not far in the past.
Thus what is nearly a GO per cent increase
in value is registered through the sale for
strictly farm property, the location of the
farm making it unlikely that it will ever
be available for other than agricultural
purposes.
The farm adjoins on the south the 15.OOO-
acre farm of Colonel Pratt and is one of
the six farms, each 100 acres, which the
father of George Stifel owned in Dodge
county and which he gave at his death, one
each to his six sons. The Byron Reed
company, which nearly sold the property
ten years ago. acted for Stifel in the trans
action of Friday.
A L. Reed made another deal Friday.
buying the southeast corner Of Thirty
sixth and Dewey avenue for his mother
Mrs. Mary NJ. Reed. The property was
sold by c. 5. Montgomery for the Milton
Trust company, which is his family invest
ment corporation. The purchase is GA feet
by 1872 and was at go the front foot, or

and work viii be begun in a short time.
She is at present occupying a residence al
