... DAKOTA LANDS.
A professional newspaper correspon.
dent never came 80 near telling the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth, a. when he recently wrote to the
eastern paper that he represented, and
made the statement that there was more
land to the acre in Dakota territory than
anywhere else on earth. And it 10 this
very land; this pure unadultcrated
land that 10 in vory great demand at the
present time. The Bismarck land Office
hes struck boom, and Uncle Sans of.
dcial representatives have oil they can
do to pcddle out --..... m=
THB GRAND OPPORTUNITIES
for securing health, happiness, indepen.
dence and 100 acres OF land. The latest
land seekers that have arrived at Bis
marck are party of Lebanon County,
Pa, gentlemen. The first to arrive was
Rev. W. b. Reed, pastor of Mrs. Cole
mans Chapel of Ease, at North Lebanon,
and hs was Immediately followed by DR..
johnson, Capt. jerome Henry, an old
soldier, farmer, and present County
Treasurer; Thomas Richards, farmer ;Dr.
Kalbach the Reading Capitalist and Mr..
Mcclure; Secretary of the Lebanon Life
Insurance Company. Ali of the gentle
men own land in the rich Lebanon Val
ley which has the reputation of being
the finest farming district in the United
States. 1t was their first intention upon
their arrival last Saturday evening, to
proceed ut once to Glendive and the
Yellowstone valley, but the condition of
the extension was such as to preclude the
carrying out of their plans, and the re.
suit will be that they will undoubtedly
LOCATE NEAR BISMARCK,
with the surrounding farming country of
which they have since fallen violently in
love. On Monday, Messrs. Richards and
Kalbach visited ex-President Hayes farm
and brought back samples of oats such
as were never grown in Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday the 10Th and 18th Sidings
were visited, and on Wednesday DR..
Johpson started for the East to close up
his business affairs preparatory to max
ing his future h )me At or near Bismarck.
DR.. Kalbach has since decided to open
wheat farm on the west side of the river,
and the remainder of the party have
about concluded to go nd farther west
ward. These gentlemen are men of
means and expect to induce
COLONY OF AT LEAST 100 PEOPLE
to return with them. Good prairie land
that will yield on an average Of rs bush:
els of wheat per acre, that can be secured
by living upon and cultivating it, is to be
preferred to the land that will plow up
ut $500, stone included. Mr.. Richards,
of The party, has three sons old enough
to take homesteads and timber cultures,
and they will join their fortunes with
their father There Is plenty of room in
Dakota for all of the representative, wide
awake, energetic eastern men that desire
to locate here, and Bismarck extends to
them The hospitalities, good wishes and
hearty welcome of the territory of which
she now is, and ever will be, the leading
metropolis.
