ROADS AND LAND VALUES.

People of Cairo and Alexander
county especially the former, who
are just now aroused more than ever
before about road building, will find
interest in discussion of the effect
Of good roads on land values by a
correspondent of the Kansas City
Star. AS an example he cites the
fact that two roads run In a western
and southwestern direction out of
Washington, Mo. One is an ordinary
dirt road and the other Is turnpike.
There is no material difference in the
land lying along the two highways.
So far as productiveness is concerned
ii is about a stand-off, but ''the land
on the earth road sells at from $50
to $50 per acre, while at an equal dis
lance from town on the gravel road
land is worth from $50 to $100 per
acre The correspondent adds;
THE construction Of good roads
near Springfield. Mo, is increasing

county, where the gravel roads have
existed almost since pioneer times,
the lands along these roads sell for
20 per cent more than lands on the
ordinary dirt roads and yield on in.

The same Is true in Pike, in Rails, in

In Jackson, everywhere throughout

The likeness between Taft and

Is not as patient man as Douglas
