The visitor 10 Helena may spend a
very pleasant and profitable hour in
looking over the branch land depart
nent of the Northern Pacific located
in that city. MI. Ed. Stone, the
obliging and gentlemanly officer in
charge, is always ready to impart
any information desired concerning
the lands in his department and
the would-be purchaser can inform
himself as to the nature or desirable
ity of any given section without
going upon it. This is made
possible by the thorough examina-
ton, survey, and plating of each
section and subdivision of sections
the company owns. For instance, if
a person desires to purchase lands of
the company he can ascertain at that
office whether the lands are agricul-
tural, grazing or meadow, or what
part of them are adapted for these
purposes. All streams and roads
running through or bordering upon
them are marked upon the plats, and
next to viewing the lands the seeker
after homes can there satisfy himself
as to their character and natural adj |
vantages.
Three parties will start out tine first
of next month for the purpose of ex-
tending the examination and survey
of the company's lands. The notes
taken upon the ground will be sent
to the department at Helena and the
lands accurately plated from them.
Lands are sold at $3.50 per acre for
or So, per acre on five years.
