A Plain Statement Of Warmers Ad.

yantages.
While many western towns can be Justly
charged with an overweenipg terdancy to boom.
Warner is open to no such accusation. Il has
never had a boom, does cot want boom. and
Se hope it never will boom in the general mean
ing of the word Our town ia Justly described
Is thriving village, The center Of rnagnif fcent
farming and q magnihcontly farmed country,
and as such it win always remain while Provi-
aence ful6ls its pledge of seed time end a
harvest. We depend upon no rush Of emigra-
hon, no la d Office business. for trade that
aust be dtful at best, but our pstrouage CON es
from the most desirable and permanent source,
alarming communitv, tho equal of which cannot
te found even in Dakota.
Elsewhere in this issue we have endeavored to
give some estimate Of the progress Of our farm
ing population aud :he fertility Of the soil, the
progression and condition of agriculture, our
standing and our chances for further develop
nent; here we desire more particularly to call
the attention OF huGiness men to the brilliant
openings we offer and If farmers to the phenom
snal opportunities f9r obtaining fruitful farms
contiguous to excellent ma kets, railroads,
churches, schools and all ths advantages of the
Eaost advanced refinement.
Our business houses now comprise one hard
gara, two lumbeS and agricu tural imp ement
yards, two general ores, one grocery, two
hotels, one dental and two legal offices, one
smusement hall, two coal yaids, and black
smith, shoemaker and carpenter shors. Our
tributary territory eirg over two hundred and
6fty square NILE, thickly populated by thrifty,
practical farmers, it can be seen at glance that
these house0 ore inadequate to supply the re,es-
sities of the country. At the lowest estimate If
growing crops we should market in Warner
this fall between 20 ,00l ard 800, ,0OO bushels OF
wheat, ana under favorable circumstances this
amount should be increased onehalf. Here we
give reliable figures to show whereon we hase
bur expectations, not empty bombast to nisead
the uninfo med and in tme to rec0il to our own
disadvantage We have not he slightes deeire
TO see the town outgrow these resources, in fact
In case of either extreme we should prefer that
1t remain as 1t is, but sooner or later these bust
hess openings are bound TO be taken advantage
D
will be seen from the foregoing that our town
needs bank, drug store harness shop. etc.,
Besides general aud hardware stores. Looking
ft matters in a strict business light, with a
view to the profit Of needed enterprises, the
openings are without parallel, and if any D ac-
,tisal business man comes to Warner, with a bona
fde in ention OF investing, and finds matters
pther th rs we say, The Sun will bear his
travelling expenses 1t can hardly be charged
that we W uld make this proposition were we
not certain that all branches of business can fnd
lucrative openings.
( TO farmers our inducements are equally brill
liant The capabilities of our soil, our location,
the topography Of the country and every other
pircumsta stance is as favorable as could be desired
and more favorable thaa those ofary other local.
ity we know OF in Dakota. In proof of this
nine-tenths of the lard il occupied by practical
farmers whoEave as comfortabls surroundings as
any old settled portions Of the east. Our pro-
ducts and the amount cropped are set forth e.se-
where. Thousands Of 1cres or wheat are now up
In green and everything is as favorahls for an
enormous yield as heart could wish. The wealth
q 80 far has been simply perfect ard farmers
declare exactly similar that OF two years ego
when the yield Of wneat in this vicinity averaged
thirty-seven and half bushels to the acre. As
we said BEFORE nine-tenths OF the land 10 occupied
by practical farmers who refuse to cell out for
almost fabulous figures, but the remaining tenth
can bs secured amazingly below its real value.
This purchaseable land was taken up BY class
Of settlers who move west with the frontier, by
young mep wbc know nothing OF agricultural
pursuits, and by spectators who are compelled
TO sell by closeness Of the money market Deed
ia lands with improvements, average $40 per
acrs; claims vary from s2Cl up. These lands
Sre situated from two to ten miles from town,
Ind as q consequence assure the settler all the
advantages that opposition in grain buyirg, TO-
hgioss and educational facilities can offer.
Parties thinking of coming west should remem-
Der that they can save dollars and cent 10 say
nothing OF comfort, by purchasing farms in such
! vicinity as compared with buying claims furih-
% west where they may wait lifetime ia vain
tor rail- Dad communication.
