KEPT COUNT IN APRIL
Department. Ordered the Number Of
Pieces and Weight Kept Track
Of During Month Just
Passed.

Something like a couple of tons of
mail were distributed and collected
on the two rural routes out of Keo-
kuk last month. The count was kept,
during April, according to the orders
from the postoff1ce department. The
exact figures we're forwarded to the
department at Washington, but the
approximate figures showed that con-
siderable mail was handled on these
two routes.
On route number one over 5000
pieces of mail were distributed. This
amounted in pounds to something
over 1,400 pounds. Over thousand
pieces of mail were collected on this
route.
On route number two, the number
of pieces distributed was 1921, totai-
ing about 1900 pounds, and the num-
her Of pieces collected das 9S9.
April was a light month so far as
the amount Of mail was concerned,
too, according to the rural carriers,
They expect that count this month
would reveal a much better record.
Keokuk's showing is an extremely
good one, however, when one takes
into consideration the fact that Bur
lington with five routes, carried only
three tons of mail matter.

will be impossible to keep all OF the

that some particularly good live stock

IOWA LAND BRINGS
VERY HIGH PRICE
Buena Vista County Transaction
Brings Two Hundred Per
Acre.

The sale OF quarter section in
Buena Vista county, some three miles
from Alta, has been reported. And
the price, which was 5000 per acre,
does not seem to have created ripple
of excitement. Yet very few years
ago that transaction would have been
the biggest sensation in the history
of the country. However. the increase
in the price Of Iowa land still con-
tinues, and it may go much higher be-
fore anybody again pays particular
attention to a transfer. Everybody
seems to be imbued with this belief.
that is, everybody but the assessors.
They are evidently of the opinion that
land prices are going to tumble soon.
and hence can see no good in mark
ing them up. 1t would be interesting
il the correspondent had ascertained.
at what that 5000 land In Buena
Vista county has been assessed.
