COUNTY SHOWS WELL.
Sales Of Farm Lands Show Those Hero
Brino HIGHEST Prices


Interesting statistics, showing the
value Of Marshall county farm lands
as compared with the land Of other
counties Of the state. We're presented in
the argument on behalf of the Chicago,
ST. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha rail-
road, made before the executive COM
rnittee by Tax Commissioner T. A. Pol
leys, Of St. Paul. The purpose of the
argument was 10 show that Iowa farm
lands were being assessed at a much
lower percentage Of their actual or real
value than was railroad property.
Locally it will be Of interest because
of the high average price paid for Mar
shall county farms and the small COM
parative number of sales indicating
that owners Of local land are holdin 6
on TO it and not selling.
In the table presented thirteen Iowa
counties are enumerated. The table
covers a period from Jan. l, 1910 to
June. 1911. According to it the num-
her Of farm sales in the county was 176.
The acres sold amounted TO 1887 and
the average price per acre was $119.21
In the number Of sales and the acreage
this county ranks least; but in the aver
age price paid per acre it stands at the
head Of the list. The counties include ed
in the statistical table were Lyon, Os-
ceola. Sioux. O'Brien, Plymouth. Wood
bury, Harrison, Carroll, Marshall. Linn
Fayette, Palo Alto,and Cerro Gordo. 1r
Linn, the nearest county from this in
point Of distance, the sales during tho
period Of the reckoning were PA. the
acreage was 1926 and the average
price per acre was s1G514, s14 an acre
| less than for Marshall county.

Electric Baggage Trucks.

Electric trucks are common enough
on the streets, taking the place of
horses, but in many OF the large rail-
road stations, notably the Grand Cen
trail station in New York, electric bag
gage trucks have superseded man pow
er. IT was formerly the custom to pile
load Of baggage on the hand trucks
and then haul them along the train
platforms to the baggage cars. AS the
baggage cars are always on the for
ward part Of the train these hauls were
always quite long and consumed a
great deal of time, often delaying the
trains during the rush Of vacation days
when the baggage was excessive.
But the little electric trucks, guided
by the baggageman, now run rapidly
back and forth along the platforms and
piers hustling the baggage to and from
Inc cars OF from the trains 10 awaiting
steamships. The trucks will carry as
much as the ordinary hand baggage
trucks and will make three trips where
the hand truck would make one.

ORDER ROAD CLOSED
Supervisors, at Special Meeting, Order
Quarry Road Thru Northwestern
Property cIosed-Damases Allowed
Sma

At special called meeting OF the
board of supervisors, held this fore
room. the highway thru the Northwe
ern's quarry land was ordered vacated
and closed as petitioned for by the rail-
road company. AT the same time the
supervisors allowed damages to prop
erty owners by reason Of closing the
road in the total sum Of $3.50, as COM
pared with s4,1OO, the amount asked
for.
r. G. Snyder one OF the abutting
The appraisers fixed the sum at $3.50,
but during the time intervening be-
tween the appraisement and the meet
ing today Snyder sold his land to the
contractor operating the quarry. Ham
mond & Son asked $4,000 damages. the
appraisers fixed $500, and the board
allowed the firm nothing. The boards
contention is that the new road being
built will give the mill owners better
road than they had before and their
property does not touch the highway
ordered closed. John Rasmus. whose
property ADULTS, asked for $1,000, the
appraisers fixed the sum. at $500 and
the board cut it to 5000. John Nichols
asked for $500. The appraisers fixed
the amount at 800, and the board cut
1t to $50.
The county has graded the old hilly
road to make 1t good highway, at the
expense Of the railroad company, which
will be $3.50. The railroad company is
to put a six-inch layer of crushed rock
on the road and cover this with four
inches of surfacing Of rock screenings,
at a cost of about $500.

HORACE PACKER AND e. 3. HOW.
ARD LOSERS AS RESULT OF
BAD BLAZE,
BUILDINGS AND CONTENTS
WIPED OUT BY FLAMES
Origin of Fire Observation-Disclosures
Shortly After Midnight, After
Flames Were Beyond Control
Thousand Bushels Of Corn and Other
Grain Destroyed.

Fire early today, near Bangor, de-
farm, two and one-half miles southeast
Of Bangor, destroying the buildings and
their contents. The origin is unknown
and when the blaze was discovered,
shortly after midnight, the flames were
beyond control. Horace Packer is ten
ant on the place, which is known as the
old Coffin farm.
One of the barns was large, and was
stored with grain. The other was
smaller, and was used as a combina-
ton machinery shed and grauary. A
total of 1000 bushels OF corn, forty tons
CT hay, Old oats and wheat in small
amounts, harness, one buggy, farm ma
thinery and tools, We're all destroyed.
as was also a windmill adjoining the
buildings.
Mr. Packer carried heavy insurance
on his farm machinery, but on his new
hay he had not yet taken out any in
surance Mr.. Howard had but very
little insurance on the buildings, and
his loss will be heavy.
1t has been suggested that possibly
the fire was due TO combustion in the
new crop Of hay, but Mr.. Packer does
not believe this to be the case, as the
nay was put in dry, and in good con-
dition 10 avoid the danger Of any spon-
taneous blaze Workmen have been
engaged in repairing the big barn, and
included in the improvements We're new
cement floors. Thirty sacks Of cement
stored in the barn We're also destroyed.
Mr.. Packer could not be reached to-
day to get an estimate of his loss, and
Mr. Towards loss could not be learned
in dollars and cents, further than it will
De heavy, owing TO lack of insurance.
Mr.. Howard lives at -Ames.
