VALUE OF INrERURBANS.

Oskaloosa Times: An object les.
son on the Why" of the rise in value
of farm property is afforded in the
case of the E. l.. Briney farm in the
northeast corner of Adams township.
About year ago some Oskaloosa
parties made a contract to purchase
it at 500 per acre and the final set
Element was made last March. In the
meantime the Iowa Traction Com
pany had made a survey for the Oska-
loosa Waterloo interurban through
the farm. In six weeks after they
took possession the purchasers sold
to a neighboring farmer for $3.50 per
acre, cleaning up a cool $4,000 on the
deal, the farm containing two hun.
dred acres. And yet some people
fear an interurban might injure them.
If the prospect of an interurban be-
fore rod had been graded, did this
for the Briney farm. surely the &C.
complished fact would have a boost.
ing effect on values.

Gently in the early part Of the game,
cutting off the Athletics by brilliant
plays at the plate, errors marked the
play of McGraw's men in the last
three innings and contributed largely
to their defeat. Fletcher and HerZog
were the main offenders.
Although Jack Coombs showed great
resOurcefulness and outptched Mat

were breaking well for McGraw and
his men and New York would have
won the game on two hits had it not
been for Bakers terrific smash in the

man who hasn't great lot Of money

"The Yates primary campaign for

100000. And not a cent was i'm

AT the same time, Governor Den
GEMS primary campaign required, in
addition to the patronage which his
high Office conferred, the expenditure
of at least $4,000. And we believe
Governor Deneen will admit that he
spent no more than he had to.
"The Merriam primary campaign in
Chicago-not in the whole state OF
Illinois, but in single city of Illinois
cost over 100000.
For a candidate to canvass a
whole state and send mis- friends into
every county OF the state, to pay
