REALTY DEALS LARGE.

About 5000 Acres North Iowa Land
erinss Average Of $1oe Per Acre.
Special to Ttnas-Republican.
Primghar. March 20.-A great deal
Of farm land has been changing hands
here this spring. According to the
records in the recorders Office 1899
acres changed hands during the first
ten days Of March. The total consider
alton for this property was 3s43.74s.
This means that the average price this
land sold for was something like
$108.2S. The land in this section Of the
state Is generally considered about the
richest there Is and 1t accounts largely
for the splendid sale. One Of tho pecul-
lar things that arises in this matter
is that this land that has absolutely
sold for this figure is only taxed at
$40 per acre and nthe basis OF paying
taxes on one-fourth valuation this land
is only taxed on SO per acre valua-
ton. Last year land here was selling
at about $50 per acre. The rapid adj
vance in this section as we'll as in other
sections Of the northwest may possibly
be accounted for from the fact that
business and professional men find It
more profitable to place their invest
ments in farm land where taxes are so
comparatively light instead Of in the
cities where taxes eat up the profit.

Our Postal Service.

Perhaps no form of public service
is more generally discussed than the
postal service. Of course it is nat
ura1 because no other form of SER
vice touches so many people. The
aim of the present postmaster gem
era1 is to put the department on a
paying basis. When Mr.. Hitchcock
expenses exceeded the receipts by
SIT, 100000. On January last the
deficit was only $4,000 and it is ex-
pected that a balance will be shown
when the figures for the whole fiscal
year are made public.
This is commendable accomplish
ment so far as it has been brought
about without impairment of the SER
vice. But it is not certain the service
is unimpaired. Users of postage
stamps and postal cards notice a diff
ference in the quality of them. While
we have more rural delivery and
more carrier service than formerly
new regulations as to the time of de-
liveries of mail at the post offices
make it impossible to have as
prompt deliveries. This is especially
felt by the legitimate newspapers.
Where rural delivery or carrier ser
vice have been installed the news
papers are paying for the service.
This they are willing to do in order to
give their subscribers better service
but they hardly appreciate the cur
failing of these services and a still
greater delay in the distribution of
their papers.
The real object of the postal sys-
| tenn is prompt and efficient service
not to produce revenue or a surplus
for the government. 1t is of course
desirable to have the conduct of the
department brought up to higher
efficiency and expenditures reduced
SO far as practicable but if the post
master general thinks he has accom-
plished it all by making the depart
ment pay he may have to think
again.

cleaning up the brush, are the cause
of a great many fires by not being
more careful in burning the brush.
Campers are also very important
factor. The fishing and hunting sea-
sons are always accompanied by fires.
In protecting the national forests the
first step the bureau takes is the re-
moval of the dangerous slash from
the forests, which comes from
the tops of broken trees and
which can be taken out. The
second step is the patrol of the forests
by guards who will be at hand when
ever they are needed. There are sew
raj thousand men employed in the
summer for such service. In the ma
tional forests where we are selling
timber we require the piling of the
slash, brush, etc., when the trees are
cut. These infammable portions are
thrown in heaps and afterward we
send In our officers and burn them,
so as to destroy them. This burning
is usually done during rainy weather
or soon thereafter. In other words
we clean up as we go. This method is
being used now by considerable
number of iumbermen and ultimately
there will be laws in the different
states which will require the disposal
of the infiammable tops in a practi-
cal way.-Springfeld Republican.
