SERIOUS ACCIDENT AVOIDED
Auto Truck Struck the Presley Car;
No One Injured.

Speeding down Front street at rate
very dangerous to- anyone travelling
the same road two men in low
truck colIided with the Presley auto
mobile last evening about $50 o'clock.
and had it not. been for the presence
of mind of the ladies in the car a
serious accident might have resulted.
Miss Charlotte Presley and her niece,
Miss Hazel Presley, with Mrs. G. ID.
OFT. were driving toward Sibley park,
and were about opposite the residence
of Thomas Sherk. There was consid-
cradle traffic at that time and there
were a number of automobiles trav-
cling in the I me direction. The car
containing the two men came from
behind the Presley car at terrific
speed, SO it is reported, veered out to
pass them and then voered into tho
front of their car, striking the front
wheels of the car and showing it over
the curb and onto the boulevard.
Luckily none of the ladies were in
jured, but the axels on both front
wheels of the car were bent, and a
tire blew up, so the machine was put
out of commission and had to be sent
to the garage for repairs. The men
who had caused all the damage con-
tinued on their wild way, and no one
was able to get the number of the car.
Speeders such as these are a menace
to the lives of any on the streets. 1t
was rumored that the men had gone
to the cement yards, but although Miss
Hazel Presley visited the yards later
she was unable to identify any of those
there as the men who had collided
with the Presley car.

DEARY FARM BRINGS
s1Sl25 PER ACRE
NEW HIGH PRICE RECORD SET
FOR LATAH COUNTY FARM
LAND BY THIS SALE

The price of farm lands in Latah
, county is advancing so rapidly and
so frequently that new "high rec
ord lasts but few days. AS told
in these columns a few days ago, the
H. H. Simpson farm set new high
record twice in six months, when it
sold for $3.50 and SITS per acre, but
even this record has been smashed by
the sale of a tract near Deary, IN
this county, for $181.25 per acre. The
story of the sale, as taken from the
Latah County Press, published at
Deary, follows:
can entirely new record in land
values in the grain and bean belt
south of Deary was set this week
when O. S. Nelson sold his 40-acre
tract on Big Bear Ridge to K L. Karl
son, a neighbor, for 81 ESQ, or $18125
per acre. The place is splendidly i'm
proved and is in high state of Guilt
walton
~"Here again is shown the trend Of
land values in the Upper Potlatch
country. So far nearly all the land
purchases have been made by men
years, and who are therefore in a
position TO KNOW the real worm OF
Potlatch soil.
cit is now certain that when a
tract in the open farming section
can be picked up at 500 or less per
acre it may well be considered
bargain. This is without doubt the
coming section of Latah county, and
the prospect of good roads is hav
ing very great deal to do with push
ing it to the front. The land has al
ways been the best in Latah county"
