EARLY BIRD WON.
Two Land Men Race To Buy 526 Acre
Farm at $50,


= Boone. May 29.-About p. m. Mon
day at Bancroft. Iowa, two rival real
estate firms commenced real race
for Boone, 100 miles away, to see which
would be able to close deal for the
purchase of Pine Crest farm. located
three miles north Of that city on the
Daniel Boone Trail and owned by j. b.
McHose, Of Boone. One party set out
by rail, the other by auto, about the
same hour. the former arriving at
Boone at o'clock a. nj. and at 6 o'clock
presented himself at the AIcHose resi-
dence handing him goodly sized
check to seal the bargain. The auto
party hesitated to call al such an early
hour and waited till an hour later
which proved his undoing.
The deal is notable also for it's size
and as showing the remarkable rise in
Iowa land values. This tract OF -52S
acres was bought by Mr.. McHose in
1885, while yet citizen Of Illinois, for
$3.50 per acre. improved by him and
now ne sells it at just twenty four
times that price. or $3.50 an acre or an
aggregate Of nearly $4,000. Mr.. Nc
Hose says that the land is cheap at that
and no young man should sell even at
present prices.
The two men interested in passtng
this deal thru not only broke records
for night travelling but they beat the
telegraph messages which both sent
Monday when they started and which
did not reach Mr.. McHose until after
the men reached Boone.
