Record Price for Valley Lands

At the state sale of lands held at Col
Vile Saturday, P j. Sullivan. OF Locke,
paid $4,000 for 40 acres of meadw land
near Locke, less the railroad right-of-
way, making the price better than SIS
per acre The land adjoins that of Mr..
Sullivan and there was active competi-
tion for its purchase.
1t is believed that this price set the
high mark for farming lands in the val
ley, but in few years, with the diking
systems perfected and the advantages OF
the country better known, values will
have increased so that sale at this
figure will fail to excite comment
