Morris has brilliant future. Situ-
ated in the midst of Stevens, one OF the
most highly favored counties In the
famous park region, with mHny nat
ural and acquired advantages il VIII

prominent railroad and commercial
centres in the Northwest. Less than

known, people tlocked III and Ill very

taken, The climate is hcalthtul.
Water is easily obtained in the nu-
merous lakes or by digging but few

ducing cereals and root crops IN pro-
fusion. Many fruits do well ana with
luXuriant grasses, pure water ana

timber skirtings, the IL vantages tor

we will give a few figures complied

been the principal industry. There
are those in the country who measure
their wheat fields in square miles, and
others of lesser magnitude whose
farms range from half section to but
a few acres. Wheat raising has been
and is now very profitable in this soil
which is so well adapted to its culture,
but to secure themselves against con-
tingencies and increase their profits,
farmers have begun system OF diver
sified farming. The cultivation of
flax, corn, amber cane and tame
grasses are now receiving considerable
attention. With the two creameries
of large capacity, now ready for work,
darying and the raising of stocl, has
been given an additional impetus.
Some farmers have almost entirely
abandoned wheat growing for stock
raising. Tree culture too is receiving
more attention than ever before.
No county in the west has more
prosperous farming population than
this. Farm buildings, fences, and
other improvements all bear evidences
of energy, economy and thrift.
For the benefit of eastern readers
who are looking for a desirable and
available place in which to hnd a
western home, we will say that while
all government land has been taken
up good farms can still be obtained
at a reasonable figure. First there are
the state lands. They are placed un-
der the control of the state auditor as
land commissioner, and provision is
made for their appraisal at price not
below $500 per acre, and each year a
quantity of these lands are offered at
public sale in the several counties:
The purchaser IS re4ulted 70 pay Ill
cash, Is per cent. of the amount OF his
bid for prairie land, and 20 to - per
cent. for timber land, according to the
value of such timber. On the remain
der of the purchase money, the pur-
chaser is granted credit of thirty
wears, at per cent, interest payable
yearly in advance; or he may, at any
time within that period, pay the
whole amount and receive deed at
orce, and thus stop the accruing OF III
| terest.
Some of the most valuable tracts OF
land in the county are owned by the
state and available for entry as above
In addition to this there is large area
of indemnity lands not yet in the
market, the title being as yet in dis
pute between the railroad company
and the government, the general inn

ment. These lands lay outside the
ten mile limits of the first railroad
grant. Next there are imeroved farms
for sale at very reasonable prices, and
some of these lands can be obtained
in tracts to suit purchasers and OF
very favorable terms.

feaU Farmers apho Stand at the
Front IN this Industry.


Stevens county no doubt stands far
ahead of any other coanty of its age in
the character and quantity of stock
raised. Ten years ago there was hard
ly an animal in the county that could
be called a Thoroughbred, while to-
day the county is well supplied, and
no farmer who 10 not totally destitute
of taste or enterprise, need longer
breed scrubs of any kind of stock.
There are full blooded short-horns (or
Durhams), Holisteens, Heifords, Jer-
seys, among the cattlei Berkshire and
Poland China, among the hogs; Cotts-
wold and South Downs, among the
sheep, and Clydesdale, Norman and
we'll bred trotting stock among the
horses. All countries are more or less
engaged in stock raising, but the adj
vancement Stevens county has made
in this respect is quite remarkable.
Probably the farm that stands at the
head of this industry is the Pleasant
View Stock Farm, situated three and
a half miles from this place toward
Hancock. H. p. Watson has charge
of the management Of this farm.
Things are now in q somewhat crude
condition, as Mr.. Watson has been
upon the place but one year. Enough
has been done, however, to show that
he understands his business, and that
the enterprise is bound to succeed.
The farm contains l,e!4 acres of fine
rolling land; 500 acres were seeded to
timothy and clover last year, the
greater part of which will be used this
year for pasture. The building are

The county agricultural society or
manilel under the laws of the state, is
dn!i~ much to advance the interests
of the place. 1t conducts annual fairs
upon grounds which are owned by the
society. These annua! gatherings are
both pleasant and profitable to farm

industries of the city, and BY offering
an inducement for stock rasing, will
help to bring about system of diver

producing section, and thus become
an important item to both city and
country.
A canning establishment, furnI-
ture, and II manufactory Of products
from straw is needed. Any one MAX
ing a business of any of these will find
here an excellent opening.
Morris is inhabited principally by
people from the eastern and Older por-
tions of the Union, and the society is
of the best. Instead of coming here
for speculative reasons only, these
people come here to establish homes
for themselves and their families.
They have built residences, many Of
them costly ones, surrounded them
with trees and shruhbery and made
them attractive, built churches aid
established schools, and have made
every preparation for a permanent
home. The Catholics were the first to
erect church. Their society is now
in flourishing condition. Besides
having IA large membership, they
maintain parociiiai school which
now contains over sixty pupils. In
addition to the church society has
built an elegant residence for the par
ish priest, and another smaller one
for the teachers of their school.
The congregational church was
built four years ago, the Episcopal
church three, and Methodist church
two years ago. These churches are
all free from debt, and the societies are
all well sustained and are growing.
The
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
are the pride of all. The school build
ing was erected four years ago, at a
cost of $4,000. There are at present
four departments, each under the
charge Of an experienced teacher The
High School is established under the
law of the state, and is in most pros
porous condition. The school is grow
ing so rapidly tl:at an additional
building and additional teachers will
be needed for the summer term. In
Morris none of that r0ughness and
disregard for law and order is found
which is peculiar to many western
and rapidly growing towns, but, i'll
stead, her streets, homes, churches,
schools and people have the appear
ance of older and more fully developed
cities.
In addition then to Il country un-
surpassed in fertility, q soil adapted to
diversified farming, the most health
.ul climate iii the world, lands easily
obtainable, opportunities for manufac-
turing, speculation or trade better than
are offered by amy other place in the
west, Morris INVITES new coners to
settle where churches, schools and all
the advantages of older cities are es-
tablished, and cordially welcoms them
to d place among her refined and cul-
tured people. All the advantages of
new countries are here combined with
those of the old. For people wishing
new homes, no place more desira-
BILE than Morris and Stevens county
can be found in all the great North

Of no small proportions. Situated up
on the main line of the st. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba Railroad, and
being the eastern terminus of the
Browns Valley Branch of the same
road, it has all the advantages to be
derived from that immense system.
The Little Falls & Dakota road, a

direct communication with Duluth
and all portions of the country trav-
ersed by that trans-continental thor

Thus Norris has connection with all

her position, Norris must be distrib-

COMMERCIAL EFSIER.
Morris is one of the first order. Know
ing the advantages OF her location,
numerous cnterprlsing men, with
abundant capital, settled here i'll an
early day. Now no place in this part
of the state can boast of as much cap
ital being concentrated within her
borders as Morris. The immense cap
ital, varied interests and consequent
lively competition, has attracted trade
to this point from large portion OF
The surrounding country. With in
creased railroad facilities much more
of trade will center here than ever be-
fore, and Norris, in meeting this in
creased demand, must grow more rap
! idly than ever. For this reason Nor
ris now offers unriyalled INDUCEMENTS
to men wishing to begin business in

and those engaged in other industries
