Special 10 Times Republican.
Carroll, May 30.--The remarkable
activity In the sale Of Iowa real estate
was never better illustrated than in the
GALE OF the former Griffith farm, near
Carroll. which has been sold six times
In two years and has risen in value In
that time from $3.50 an aero to s3ib an
acre. each Of the six sales being made
at m increased price.
The tract consists OF l25 acres ana
was owned for moro than a quarter OF
IA century by j. Il. Griffith, who, two
years ago. sold II to George l.. Miller
TOR $3.50 an acre. Miller in n short time
sold the farm to J, c. Barry for $2l0
an acre. Barry In n few months sold
tho farm TO l.. G, Klein at n profit Of
SIS an acre or $2s5 an acre. Here
again comes In another interesting
feature OF the remarkable transfers OF
this firm. MIR. Klein, who had had the
farm but short time. sold IL to George
l.. Miller for S235 an acre. Mr.. Miller,
having been one Of the previous own
ers of the farm in this rapid transit Of
deeds and big money. Mr.. Miller
thought over the matter little while
and decided he would sell the place
again. just to keep II moving, and he
found purchaser in the person OF TX
Neppel, for 1910 an acre. Miller thus
making n profit from the farm in two
GALES. both within one year.. Max Nep-
pei was not allowed to hold the farm
very long when George I,angenfield
came along and offered Neppel 1913 an
acre for the farm and got 1t. Lagen-
field is wondering who will be the next
owner. He has not put n price on the
farm but 1t is such hot proposition
that he might be induced to let go his
hold at something like the usual profit.

Road Election Postponed.

Boone May S0.-The election under
the road paving law In Boone county
has been postponed until fall The rea-
sons were not stated but undoubtedly
1t was felt that the farmer Is too busy
to attend to election matters In corn
planting time. The farmer Is vitality
interested In the road problem and he
should have a fair opportunity not only
to read the Law. but also to discuss the
matter. 1t was for this reason that the
preliminary elections have been placed
ct a later date. Boone county was to
have been the first county to vote but
now the honor will fall to Linn and
ElackhaWk counties.
