Northern Pacific Railroad will average over $4,000
acres to each mile of road This land is capable Of
producing in abundance all the Fruits, Vegetables

THE VALUE OF LAND GRANTS.
The average price at which twenty-sixland grant
railroads have thus far sold their lands is s704 per
acre-the highest average of any grant being $685.
and the lowest 1907. With few exceptions the ay-
erage selling price has increased from year to year.
The lands OF the Northern PacfcRoad are admitted
by all who have them, to be better and more
saeable than those of most other grants; but sold
the general average of $7O4 per acre, they will yield
more than 900 per mile of road-more than three
times the possible cost of construction and equip
they will produce than $4,000 per mile, which
is $4,000 per mile more than the company are allow
ed to issue bonds. F-.
TRAFFIC ON PACIFIC RAILRO ADS,
AS officially reported the gross earnings Of the pres
ent Pacific Railroad Union and Central for 1871 the
second year Of through business December earnings
estimated) reach Seventeen Millions and Quarter.
OF this 65 per cent. is from Local Business and it is
stated, fully IS per cent. nearly Nine and Half
Millions, are net over operating expenses.
An equal traffic on the Northern Pacific Road will
pay dividend Of than 81 per cent. on its total
cost With its great and unquesioned advantages in
distance grades climate and tributary fertile
try, the Northern Pacific is assured of vast and
profitable business from the outset, with large in
crease for the future.
These facts regarding Pacific Railroad earnings,

HINTS TO YOUNG MEN WHO GO A
RpARKEGE

After all, in looking out for a wife, a
man must consider how she will look at the
ffreside, rather than at parties. You can
learn so much Of literary and aesthetic
tastes, the favorite books that are always
in hand, the music that is regularly
studied and sung, the kind of assOcia-
t;ous and the general order of tastes. 1t
is by far the best way of getting up flirt-
alton, which is not unpleasantly done
under parental eyes when such eyes are
kindly and benignant. LOve-makiDg is
an uncommonly pleasant enjoyment for
tie winter nights. You may talk Of the
perils of young men when they come up TO
town; but there is no bstter safeguard than
giving such young fellows the associations
of home and sweet woman. Parents make
an immense mistake in taking too severely
monetary a view of a young fellows pros
pects. | never knew young fellow under
ever so dun a cloud, who, with purpose and
ability, could not work out his way into the
sunlight. Better even the long engagement,
or the early marriage, than many other
suggestions that might be put.-London
