HOW LAND PRICES GO UP

If you and I had been on the job in
Kansas City in 1S36-that's not so
awfully long ago, either-we could
have made fortune for our heirs
if we had put our weekly pay envelope
in real estate investments. When Watt
Webb and w. S. Webb bought 25 feet
of ground next to the Commerce build
ing on the west side of Walnut street
between Ninth and Tenth streets from
the Ridge estate few days ago as
a site for new building for the Mis-
souri, Savings bank, they paid at the
rate of $4,000 front foot for it. The
deed will be filed for record one day
this week. Then an architect will be
chosen to prepare plans for new
two-story bank building.

said w. S. Webb, cashier of the bank.

City Times Henry Chiles received a
land in that year. He paid $1.25 an
acre for 40 acres, which lie between
what are now Ninth and Tenth streets.
The rs feet for the bank site is one
fifteenth of an acre in area So it cost
in 1886 about eight cents In 1S41,

Although Mrs. Taylor insisted that
she was not afraid to go home alone,
her mother-in-law insisted that she
take the two dogs along with her for

family was at home, and the elder
Mrs. Taylor was unable to accompany
her even part of the way.
So Mrs. Taylor started out, the dogs
following at her heels. The first part
Of the journey was without incident,
and Mrs. Taylor was more than half
way through the woods when she
heard a noise ahead of her. The
bushes were rafting, and in an in
slant a large buck sprang into the
clearing. Blood was streaming from
the side of the deer, and he snorted
with rage.
The dogs had fallen behind, in fact,

The scream attracted the dogs and

She sprang behind the only tree that
stood in the cleared space and the

Then began a battle between the
buck and the dogs.
The combat lasted several minutes,
and both dogs were badly SCARED be-
lore they brought the wounded buck
TO earth. Just as the battle was fin

deer appeared on the scene. They
said they had shot the animal nearly
an hour earlier and had been trailing
