Of the opposition were the objects of
some good natured bantering which
was generally taken in the spirit in
which it was given.

county to report 1t showed a gain of
three votes for Hooper over the vote

some time while the small precincts

question only of majority.
Before o'clock The Herald an

and with every assurance that Rye

The Herald Office was packed and
damned with eager listeners. The
governors contest was the absorbing
topic. Two and four years ago chief
interest in the county centered in the
legislative races. This was not the
case this time. Probably half OF the
inquirers for news were content sim

OLD BAILEY PLACE
NEAR SPRING HILL
tR|NGS OVER $4,000
SOLD SOME MONTHS AGO FOR
$4,000 TO G. 3. WooDARD FOR
FARMING LAND.
SALE WAS IN CHANCERY COURT
w. 3. Greenlaw Bought One Tract Of
236 Acres for Even $4,000, While
the Other Of 1s4J4 Acres Was Sold
to Sam Williams for S17,6O5.

Another big real estate deal was
closed Monday afternoon when the
Woodland Farm of 42O acres, near
Spring Hill, was sold at the highest
bidder in the chancery court by the
clerk and master, A. N. Akin, for
s37.6O5.
The farm was sold in two tracts.
One, of 296 acres, was knocked down
to w. B. Greenlaw, for an even $780,
900, while the other tract, of 1S4A
acres, was sold to Sam Williams for
s17,6O5. There were several bidders
present.
The Woodland farm, which is better
known as the old Bailey place, is sit
uated about one mile south of Spring
Hill. 1t is one of the most magnif-
cent farming tracts in the county, be-
ing level, of fertile soil, we'll water
ed, and with good improvements The
farm was bought some years ago by
G. B. Woodland for $4,000, and has
been used for agricultural purposes
since then.
The general opinion Is that the
land sold very cheaply. Both tracts
averaged less than 800 per acre,
while land just across the road is said
to have passed hands at a consider
ably larger figure. 1t is about $4,000
less than the same property sold for
some months ago.

GOVERNMENT MAKES
 LARGE TIMBER OFFERING

On Monday January 5th, Sec
 retary of Agriculture Houston
 approved the disposal of one bil-
 lion feet of western yellow pine
 timber in the Kaibad national
 forest in Northern Arizona. In
 order to get this timber out it
 will be necessary to build a rail
 road approximately 200 miles
 long. Such a railroad will con-
 meet Colorado and Utah with the
 world famous Grand Canon of
 the Colorado, which hitherto has
 been accessible only from the ! south.
 For several years the construc-
 tion of such 2 railroad has been
 considered by various capitalists,
 but it has been stated that the
 lack of assured immediate traffic
 was an effectual barrier. It is pointed out, however, that con tract for billion feet of timber will overcome this difficulty by providing a commodity for trans portation which, together with tourist and local traffic, will place the project on paying basis practically from the outset.
 Chef Forester Henry s. l Graves made a personal examina- ton on the reports of his forest engineers, induced him to rec commend the sale of such a large body of timber Tn order that the country might be developed through the supplying of this re- source. MT. Graves says, how ever, that the Kaibad forest is one of the most beautiful in America. and gives assurance that the marketing of the mature crop of timber will not be allow ed to mar the scenic beauty of the region.
 In accordance with the timber sale policy of the government the will be disposed of to the highest bidder. In order to attract a sufficient investment to assure the building of the rail- road and of the necessary lumber mills at least billion feet of tim Der had to be offered. The in- vestment necessary to make this timber accessible will amount to more than $3,OO0,0OO. By plac- ing this quantity of timber be- fore the lumberman of the coun- try the officials of the forest ser vice believe that the development of extensive areas in southern Utah may be looked for, because . he necessary railway will render accessible resources which have heretofore been undeveloped. The whole region is rich in agr- lands in cattle and sheep 'aege, and in coal and copper de ,osits. as well as in timber.
 The Kaibad forest is one the most heavily timbered in the outhwest, the stand of timber ,eing broken only occasionally by 'eautiful openings locally known s parks. Lumbermen who have -isited it consider the country deally adapted to logging. There re. altogether, two billion feet f timber. of which more than ne billion feet are mature and eady for cutting.
