Go to the New Northwest.
1.-THE Northwest

The Northwest.
Because no Industrious, sober man
can fail to prosper there.
Because labor applied to the virgin
soil creates wealth rapidly.
Because there are new and good open
ings for business talent.
Because mechanics are in demand to
erect new structures and establish new
shops.
Because farmer can get 16O acres Of
good land for nothing by homestead res
idence, and Can buy railroad land ad-
joining on long credit and at a low price.
Because values of property are all the
time increasing with the incoming of
population, SO that small investment
made now will soon become worth ten
times it's cost.
Because the climate is healthful and
invigorating.
Because the people are energetic, hos
pitable and intelligent.
Because schools, newspapers, churches
and railroads keep pace with the settle
ment of the country.
And finally, because man counts
far more than in the crowded commune

Growth of Dakota.
TJamestown Capital.l Il

1t is interesting to note the universal
attention Dakota isreceiving all over the
world. The newspapers of the east and
south, both far and near, are taking
every means to enlighten their readers
about this country, and there is no. doubt
that for several years the accessions to
Dakota will continue in great numbers.
The New York Timeso of recent date
has the following: 1.-The marvellous
growth of Dakota must excite the Won
der of the world or all who have studied
the movement of the population and the
settling of new soil. Twenty years ago
there were only few hundred whites
in the south part Of the territory; in 1870
the population was only $4,000, but in
1850 the population had grown to 135, 600,
and now it is believed there are over
250, 900 persons in southern Dakota alone.
The railroad companies are rapidly
pushing their lines through from north
to south and from east to west. Settle
ments are springing up as If by magic,
and they are not mushroom mining
camps that die soon after birth. In one
settlement which recently came into
being there were, only two weeks after
the receipt of the first load of lumber.
bank, IL newspaper office, two hotels,
church. seven stores, a market. Two
saloons, Il telegraph office, a postotfice
with $50 call boxes and 50 lock boxes
and three lumber yards. The soil is
yielding enormous crops. emigrants are
coming in by the thousands and CON
gressmen who have been repudiated by
their constituents elsewhere arrive here
by every train"
