JOE KEMP TO BE Sell
ECTED AS JAILER BY
NEW OFFICIAL TAX
ING OFFICE

Chief of Police Cleveland Niles
has been appointed sheriff of
Monroe county to fill out the un-
expired term of the late Sheriff
Roland Curry, who died here
Tuesday night, May 1S.
The news of the appointment
was conveyed to Chief Niles in the
following telegram. received by
him at 8 o'clock this morning:
Tallahassee, Fla,
May Is. 1926.
"Hon. Cleveland Niles,
"Key West, Fla.
II have this day appointed you
to fill the unsxpired term of
Sheriff of Monroe county. Qualify
at once with Secretary of State at
Tallahassee.
JOHN w. MARTIN,
Governor"
Chief Niles is being heartily
congratulated upon his appoint
ment by hundreds of his friends
today, and he is assuring one and
all that he will do all in his power
to make them a model sheriff. He
says he has had six years expert
ence as deputy sheriff, and that
with his connection with the po-
lice department for so many years,
equip him well for the high office
of sheriff.
Chief Niles stated to a Citizen
representative this morning that
he is going into the sheriff's Of
flee with himself and one deputy,
who will also be jailer. For his
deputy he has chosen Joe Kemp,
who has been up to this time
keeper of the city jail. Sheriff
Niles says if he finds he needs ad-
ditional deputies, he win appoint
them.
The appointment of Chief Niles
as sheriff relieves a situation that
had become tense during the past
few days. With the death of
Sheriff Curry, the sheriff's office
of this county ceased to function,
and it devolved upon the consta-
bles of the county to discharge the
multitudinous duties usually look
ed after by the sheriff's forces.
Interest in the situation was inten-
sified by the strenuous efforts of
number of applicants for the APP
pointment as sheriff. Those most
ly interested in the outcome be-
came very impatient, while a num-
Der of conservative citizens won
dcred that the governor would let
Monroe county go nine days with
out a sheriff.
Joe Kemp, the young man sell
ected by Sheriff Niles for his chief
deputy, has had years of expert
ence as jail keeper and has served
as police officer also. He comes
from police family. His father
was the first captain of police this
city had. and was also jail keeper
for many years.

Farm Sales and Values,
Are Looking Up Locally
Morse & Morse Sell 320-Acre Farm
Seven Miles From City-In-
- quiries Brisk

Last Friday, Morst & Morse sold
the 320 acre farm 7 miles west of
here on Trunk Highway Number 28
known as the Cordell farm to E. F
Minette Of this city and George Her.
berger of Osakis. This farm was
purchased by Morse & Morse in De-
cember, and the present transfer is,
therefore,; the SECOND to be, made on
this farm within three, months.
A number of other farms have
changed hands affirming the forecast
made by many that the present year
would see a substantial land move
ment. ..--
The Herald is formed upon reli-
able authority that there have been
land seekers here quite regularly all
winter. These prospects have come
to look early, and it is more than
likely that many of them will return
this spring to take a second look
This condition is similar to a situa-
tion prevalent in many sections of
the state, where prospects have been
looking around and in many cases
have already bought. Apparently
January saw quite number of sales,
probably more were made in Febru-
ary, and March seems to have started
with a bang. The St. Paul Pioneer
Press of March 18th carried an ar
ticle which asserts that $75O,000, in
land was sold in the state in the first
two weeks in March; prices ranged
from $85 ito $500 per acre, and list
of the sales followed, a majority of
them being for cash. The tract
which brought $85 was that of Jos g.
Wiesner just northeast of this city.
Other deals embraced farms near
Willmar, in Martin county, Lyon
county, Rice county. This is clear
indication that sales are not confined
to any single locality, but are gen.
eral throughout a large section of
the state.
Sales made earlier in the year and
reported at the Minnesota State
Realty Convention February 25th
included sales at Wadena, Lichield
Granite Falls, Little Falls, Albert
Lea and numberless other points
prices have been good in most cases
AS usual thing, there are few
sales made in January and February
or even in March for. that matter
and it is quite gratifying to see
such an early movement this year
Every indication is that it will con-
tlnue, especially in view of the wide.
spread and consistent advertising
which is planned for Minnesota.
