To the Citizens of Mower County.

There are 1900 acres of land in this
county that are uncultivated. This vast
amount of land adds nothing to our wealth
and resources. 1t is unproductivec capital.
Nearly all these acres are fertile land,
and only need cultivating to double our
resources and our wealth.
The problem of the hour is: How to
get this land under cultivation.
1t must first change hands, in order to do
this. Most of it is on the market, but
there are no buyers. Then the question
is, how to bring the buyer and seller to-
gether.
=. There is constant stream of immigra-
ton going past our doors to the prairies
of Dakota.
This immigration is unprecedented,
nothing like it was ever seen before.
Why do not these immigrants stop here?
Simply because they do not know these
2OO, 900 acres Of cheap land are here.
If the facts were known to them, they
would gladly avail themselves of the ad-
vantages that are offered here.
Here are School-houses built and paid
for, schools are held in them, the roads
and bridges are built. markets are at their
hand, and all the advantages of a we'll set
tied country. In Dakota all these are to
be built and paid for, while the settler
must do without them until he can build
them.
How can we bring these facts to the
knowledge of the people who are going
west? The answer is, by judicious sys-
tenn of advertising.
A million dollars have been spent to ad
vertise Dakota in the last ten years. The
investment of that vast amount has
been paying one, and is still going on.
If the citizens of Mower County would
spend three or four thousand dollars in
advertising their County it would be a
paying investment.
Shall we do this?
Look at few facts: Large numbers Of
the immigrants coming west. are from the
middle and eastern states, and have money
to buy land with.
Suppose we should bring a hundred
families of farmers into the County, of the
class named?
This one hundred men are worth $1O0-
600, without any capital.
They would bring, say $1,000 apiece
That would make $500, 600 added to our
working capital at once, which would
constantly increase year by year.
This would be but the beginning
Others would follow these, and the stream
once started would wear its own channel.
There are 1900 farms waiting for 1900
men to come and cultivate them. There
are 1900 men somewhere who want them,
and have the cash to pay for them. We
must find them, and bring them here.
1t can he DONE if we only will to do it,
Now is the time to do this work. This
tide of immigration will stop before long
Now it is at the flood, and our time TO
take advantage of the great movement is
not when it has stopped, but while it is
going.
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
which, taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune"
Now the tide is at the flood, and now is
our time to take hold of the matter.
There is more money for the farmers of
Mower County in this than in anything
else that is within reach.

CONTRARY to the city charter, the com
mon council of Winona recently voted
800 to each of their aldermen for servi
ces rendered as members of committees.
Judge Wilson's opinion was asked by the
may or as to the legality of the claim, and
that gentleman responded through the
Republican, that it was an abrogation OF
the charter in every sense, and wholly lille
gal. On this opinion the mayor refused
to sign the orders, and the aldermen are
left to reflect that it is honor and not pro
tit that they are working for.-Er.
We believe our Council has been in the
habit of paying aldermen for extra work
