A Standard Security
INVESTMENT.

To those who have funds to In
vest; and TO those who wish to in
crease their income from funds al
ready invested I'm other securities,
we recommend Northern Pacific
Seven-thirties. Bearing Seven and
Three-tenths "a 3-IO) gold interest,
and secured by a First Mortgage on
both the Road and n Land Grant
Of great extent and value, they
combine unusual PrOhtableness
with unquestionabIe Security.
The proceeds of all sales Of
Land are required to be devoted by
the Trustees of the bondhoIders as
a Sinking Fund to the purchase
and cancellation or the first mort
gage bonds, or temporarily to the
payment of interest thereon, ifnec-
essary. This provision will make
the Railroad Company itseIfa con-
slant and heavy purchaser Of It's
own securities in the open markcr
from the time the road Is compIet-
ed until the bonds mature or are all
bought in. The effect Of this will
naturally be a steady rise i'm the
value OF the bonds.
The Northern Pacific RaiIrOad
Company will, during the present
month of April, offer for sale and
settlement about Two Million
Acres of its Lands i'm Minnesota,
and many thousand acres are al
ready taken and applied fer. Thus
the immense landed estate of the
Company begins at once to be
available.
