FOR IS 10 YEARS AGO, SELLS

|! Staples World: A dozen or so years
ago land around Motley was, considered
Il Spcor.'' This meant generally that it
was sandy or that it was jack pine land
and only worth what the standing tim
Der was worth. About that time Bob
McGlashen came to Motley and pur-
chased 200 acres few miles southeast
of town for 5000. That was considered
fair price for land in those days,
especially if it was a cash sale. MT.
lMcGlashen moved on to the land and
began enlarging the cultivated portion
and making improvements. This was
about all he did except cultivate the
|land. During the ten years on the
| farm it furnished himself and family
living, he greatly increased the value OF
his personal property, being worth
several thousand dollars more than
when he settled on the land, and last
weel. he sold the land for $40, 900:
This means that on an investment OF
5000 he supported himself and family
for ten years and earned net profit
of over $1,000 per year. III. ..Es Fl,
To us Of the older settlers $50 per
acre looks like big money for land,
! sore of which we have seen bought as
low as 75c per acre, but 10 years from
now people will look back and wonder
why every foot of land was not snapped
up at that price. We would not ad-
wise Spectator to buy land at $50
rer acre in this part of Minnesota. But
for man who is a thorough farmer and
buys that he may gain livelihood for
himself and family, where he has good
schools, good water in abundance, pure
air and healthy surroundings, he can
make good living and save money on
$50 land in this vicinity. And c. E.
Green, who purchased the McGlashen
farm, seems to be that sort Of man.
We venture the prediction that if he
owns the land 10 years from now he
will not sell for less than 800 per
acre, and possibly not as low as that.
There are already a number of farm
ers around Staples, Motley and other
points in this part of the state, to
whom an offer Of $75 an acre would be
no temptation to sell.
Twenty-Five years ago the citizens Of
Motley looked into future that was
black because the saw mills at that
mace had about exhausted the supply
OF available logs and would soon b
thing of the past. The mills are gone.
and yet there is more cash circulating
in Motley at present than at any t."
in the history of the lumber industry,
and every new settler who is practl-
cal farmer is guarantee that the present
Dr0sperity is to be perpetual.

Albert Lea Standards: President
Wilson has appointed Prof. Arthur
wager, a college friend Of Kentucky,
governor of Porto Rico. President Will
son seems to be especially inclined to
favor his college acquaintance in his
appointments and this is no doubt an
admirable choice.
Frank A. Day who had been strongly

potential democrats Of this state, hosts
OF others heartily favoring it, was not
an active candidate, did not seek the
position and, in reality, did not want
it. preferring his home life and work

would be sacrifice, but that if it
was offered he could not fairly refuse
it, and thus the outcome is a relief to
him and he is satisfied that the mat
