In Tracts oil 40 acres and Upwards, on Long

UNHESE lands were granted by the Govern
ment TO aid in the construction Of this road
aud among the richest and most fertile in
the world. They extend from North East and
North West, through the middle of the State,
TO the extreme South and include every variety
of climate and productions found between those
parallels Of latitude. The Northern portion is
chiefly prairie, intersPersed with fine groves,
and in the middle and Southern sections timber
predominates. alternating with beautiful prai-
rlts and openings
The climate is more healthy, mild and equa~
bic, than any other part Of the countryside air
is pure and bracing, while living streams and
springs of excellent water abon d.
Btuminous Coal is extensively mined, and
supplies cheap and desirable fuel, being fur
nlshed at many points at 81 TO 81 per ton-and
wood can be had at the same rate per cord.
Building Stone of an excellent quality also
abounds, which can be procured for little more
than the expense OF transportation.
The great fertility Of these lands, which are
a black rich mould from two TO five feet deep,
and gently roing-ther contiguity to this road,
by which every facility is furnished for travel
aud transportation, 10 the principal markets
North ..South, East, West, and The economy
with which they can be cultivated, render them
the most valuable investment shat can be found,
and present the most favorable opportunity for
persons of Industrious habits and small means
to acquire comfortable independence in a few
years.
Chicago is now the greatest grain market in
the world, and the facility aud economy with
which the products of these lands can be trans
ported TO that market make them much more
profitable, at the prices asked, than those more
remote at government rates, the cost Of
transportation is perpetual tax on the latter,
which must be borne by the producer in the re-
duced price he receives for his grain, &c.
