TENTH DISTRICT FARMS IN
CREASE SIS TO $50 PER ACRE
IN VALUE.
ONE MANS BIG PROFITS FROM
CONSERVATIVE SPECULATION
Eagle Grove investor Clears $1,000
From an Original Investment Of
$1,ooo-Few Farms Now Listed at
Les. Than 500 Per Aere-some Re-
cent Transactions.

Fort Dodge, Oct. 26.-Farm lands in
the Tenth district have experienced an
increase of s15 to $50 an acre in the
last six months. C. NJ Fullerton, as
sistant general agent for the Interna-
tional Harvester Company, reports real
tions OF the territory covered by the
local general agency. Real estate deal
ers too, report many sales. That the
day of cheap farms in Iowa has passed
seems assured.

making q first payment of $1,000
He was to have paid the remainder by
March 1, 1911. He recently sold
the farm for Sis an acre. F. b.
Matthias, also Of Eagle Grove, pur-
chased a 2OO-acre farm last spring
for 1925 an acre and sold it recently
for s155 per acre, These two ex-
ampies show that speculation In
Iowa land Is even better in Iowa than
1t is in the lower sections Of the
country.
Few Farms Under $500 an Acre.
It is a poor farm in northern Iowa
that can not bring over 800 an acre.
Some Of the land, but partly i'm
proved by drainage, is bringing we'll
over this figure. The Lage farm,
near Dayton, recently brought Sl4o
an acre. Robert Healy of this city
recently sold 154 acres for $105.
One OF the most encouraging fea-
lures Of real estate transfers In the
last six months Is the breaking up
of many large farms into small ones.
One example is the selling by piece
meal of the 1000 acre Blanden farm
near Manson, in Calhoun county.
The last quarter section recently was
sold for $15O an acre.

RESERVOIR OF STORM LAKE
May Supply the pss Moinss River
With Water in Dry Periods.

Des Moines, Oct. 26.--Storm Lake
will be made into reservoir to supply
the Des Nj Dimes river with water dur
ing the low stage periods. II the plans
IF government engineers are carried
out.
A. o. Rowse. chief Of the Des Moines
river survey, has been making close
inspection of all the lake beds In DIFF
ferent parts Of the state. In order TO
secure a proper amount of water an
area OF 100000 square feet is needed
The inspection made by Mr.. Rowse
up until the present time developed
that Storm Lake has the sufficient area
and this is the body Of water that will
probably be selected. II the big project
materializes. If the lake Is chosen by
the government 1t will be purchased.
According to the engineers who have
gone over the problem. Storm Lake will
supply fine flow Of water for ninety
days at a time, increasing the flow OF
the Des Mofnes river from 60 to 70 per
cent.
The water from the lake would be
run thru canal to the river. In the
canal would be a system OF locks and
gates that would control the flow dur
ing the high water periods when the
river did not need the extra supply OF
water
The increase supply of water In the
river bed would greatly increase the
value of the stream in Iowa for COM
mercial interests and in making 1t u
navigable stream. Not only would the
stream be used for shipping purposes.
but the water would be cold. pure lake
water.
The clean lake water in the bed of
the river would also mean better and
more fish for the stream. The diff
ferent varities Of lake fish could be
easily propagated in the cold and clear
water

The Herald is not scientist enough
to make a ruling on the claims of the
men who discovered the North Pole.
Just between the two men, Cook and
Peary, taking them on their past con-

benefit of the doubt because he
seems to be the better grade man.
His explanation of his polar trip is
not SO empty as some of his critics
have tried to make it appear, and he
may have reached the pole or hon
estly thought he did. We do not be-
lieve Peary ever did, with all of his
boasting. But it would be gratifying
to thousands of people who believe in
fair play to see an organization back

subject out Here is a chance for

real good work-that of saving a man

NOT FOR THE COMMON PEOPLE.

That organization which calls itself
the Texas Commercial Secretaries
Association, and which has for some
time now been endeavoring to shape
the politics of this state, and which
is using the newspapers of the state
(some of them), to accomplish its
purposes, is not an organization
friendly to the masses, generally al
luded to as the common people"
This conclusion was reached some
time ago by the Herald, and has been
strengthened since by perusing the
literature it is disseminating. One of
its latest efforts is a long spiel
against the legislation by the last SEES
sion which is generally alluded to as
the l. & G. N bill 1t declares be-
cause of this piece of vicious CD leg
islation railroad building in Texas is
at standstill The secretaries grow
red in the face in this, its hundredth
denunciation of this most wholesome
piece of Legislation, and declare the
question will never be settled until
it is settled right. This Commercial
Secretaries Association is doing, and
has done, more to injure Texas than
all the legislative acts of the past
quarter of century. 1t continually
