Acre Tract.

The first Of the March transac tons
in farm land~are beginning to be made
public in the films Of deeds in the Of
flee of the county recorder. Some OF
the most interesting Of these transac-
tions are made SO not by the acreage
or the size of the transactions as by
the price per acre al which the land is
changing owners.
This is especially true of the sale OF
a small farm very near this city. This
tract of about sixty six acres in Tim
Der Creek township, only half a mile
from the city limits and half mile
east Of the Lincoln highway. has been
sold by William A. Thompson to II. w.
Ogan for $4,000. This price is at the
rate Of about 5000 an acre. The lanc
is we'll improved and especially deslr-
able because Of It's location both to the
city and to the Lincoln highway, which
is paved to within three quarters Of a
mile of the farm.
Mr.. Thompson has. in turn, bought
Of James II. Bates, 106 acres in Lis
comb township. Ave miles southeast Of
L!scomb for $4,000, a per acre price Of
s206.

An even higher price than Ogan paid,
but for a much smaller tract has been
given by Ole II. Bryngelson to 0. c.
Stangeland, Of Dunbar. for ten acres
one and one-half miles north of Dun
bar. Bryngelson paid $4,000 for the
tract.
C. r. Lynch. formerly member Of
the board of supervisors, has bought
forty acres in southeastern Vienna
township Of CLANCY w. Rusie for
s1o,335, which is at the rate OF s25s37

with the question: Should a woman

certain weakness in character from
her father? This question is not an
swered in the play, but leaves the de.
cision to the spectator.
The story begins and ends in China,
with intervening scenes laid in Paris
and the Rivera, and deals with a
young girl born of European parents
and brought up from early childhood
within the confines Of a high walled
Chinese garden, and with Chinese
children as playmates. Her father is
