SETTLING THE STATE.
What Is Being None Along tin o ssOut heTn
Minnesota Railway.

What Is Being Rome Along the Southern
Minnesota Railway.
The present year promises to be lively
season in Southern Minnesota, and especially
along the line of the Southern Minnesota rail-
way. The last season the road was extended
from Winnebago City to Jackson, forty six
miles, though the company was only required
by the land grant act to build but seventeen
miles. 1t has until 1881 to build to the west
ern line OF the State, but it is proposed to
build the entire distance, eighty-fve miles,
during the present year-the ties are already
purchased, and surveys made. When the
road reaches the western boundary of the
State in Pipestone county, there
will have been opened in two brief
seasons 100 miles more of our beautiful prairie
to settlement and advanced civilization, and a
portion of our State unsurpassed for fertility
and resources Not only the distance in our
own State is destined for grand wheat field
and stock range, but as the road penetrates
Dakota it strikes one OF the finest sections in
all our boundless West. i" The road will be
in Moody county, Dakota, which county al
| ready contains population of nearly 1000
people. One reason for the increased settle
| ment of eastern Dakota, is The fact that near
| ly every quarter section has settler upon it
and MO odd sections are taken by. railroad co m
panies. ST.
| -, THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA POLICY. .u.
i The. Southern Minnesota Extension com
pany acquires large tracts of land as it pro
greses, and the manner it has opened them tc
settlement is worthy example for other lane
grant companies. 1t puts settlers upon the land
and contracts to allow $3.50 for breaking anc
80 cents an acre for the first crop, and conse
quently no money is required down. We ART
informed that the sixty miles Of the st. Pau
g. Sioux City land grant, which this road passes
through, is, being held by the Sioux City Co.
at from seven to ten dollars for wild prairie
This certainly is the wrong policy to pursue
and one that tends to make the country almos
dcsolate waste. This company owns nearl
! all the odd sections in the north half of Martii
county, and much more in Jackson, Noble
and other counties. It can but be regarded q
unwise policy to keep these splendid land
from settlement by high prices: Homestead
ers have settled around the lands and are pay
ing the taxes and improving the roads, an
building the bridges and school houses an
supporting local and State governments
while the railroad is holding these broa
: acres for high prices. We trust this polio
e will not be adhered to. .f4s# ~.s.E Isl .n

BOOKKEEPING.
We have students in Bookkeeping
who had attended Commercial Colleges
in Philadelphia take our course and
pronounce 1t more thorough. Probably
they were older and studied harder
However that may be we have entire
the system which has built up and
grown with the most noted Business
College in New York city, where 1t
cost the students $500 to learn hook
keeping, and there are 200 or 800 of
them. We,havs used this system for
many years and greatly improved along
with it especially by private, normal
instruction from the President of that
Business College last vacation. At the
outset our students waste no time but
learn to Journalize. Then they open,
keep, trial balance, balance and close
ten sets of Double Entry Bookkeeping,
embracing different kinds Of busi-
ness, all kinds of entries and as many
entries and as many movements as ten
periods Of business be they years, half
years, quarters or months. They work
it out as much as they solve arithmeti-
cal problems. Then we can make up
original sets and give original class
drill, a system that produces thorough
ness and quickness. Next we take
them through Professor s. s. Packard 8
large work published last year. We
believe there are no extricacies and
difficulties in the science of Double En-
try Book keeping not embraced in
equivalents in this work. Then text
books, questions on Commercial Laws
and Business paper accompanied by
Henry C. Conrad's able and entertain
ing lecture bring eur students we'll
up in Business, Law and Conduct.
Lastly, since we must speak for our
selves: We can but modestly acknow-
ledge that our original, cumulative, COM
pstitivs, arithmetical training, both
mental and written, in all the multi.
farious business calculation by quick
methods is both unique and practi-
cal. We are just as delighted with 1t
ae we can be and SO are our stu
dents.

excuse us for thus introducing our
