a Good Investment.

ANYONE who mas ever dealt in lands,
knows that no investment of money will
so surely and quickly yield return, as
such venture If carefully made. To
the absolute safety o. a government
bond is added profit far in excess of
rate of interest which can be obtained
on any safe loan. In Kansas and Neb-
raska especially lands are raising in value
very rapidly and with steady growth
which gives assurance OF stability. The
good season and the great tide of immis
grafton into these states has made invest
ment there doubly safe and desirable.
The climate of Southern Nebraska and
of Kansas. free as it is from the long
RIGOROUS cold winter added to soil
unsurpassed for richness and productive
capacity, has made possible the wonderful
development of these states. To the far
mer they hold out special inducements.
Cheap land. easy term Of purchase, good
markets and varied products enable him to
own his farm at a smaller cost and with less

A GOOD PROSPECT YET.
What an Expert says of Pinery Long.
eyity---New Mills, Etc

1t will be remembered that when the
business men of Davenport, Rock Island
and Moline met in this city, the commits
sion of government engineers appointed
to make investigation as to the feasibility
and commercial Importance of the Hen
nepin canal, several addresses were made
in the interest of the important project.
Among the speakers was Mr.. Eugene
Lewis, of Moline, who stated that it was
the belief of Mr.. Gould, Of the Moline
Water Power company, that the present
business of rafting logs on the Missis>
sippi would come TO an end in about ten
years, so fast are the pine forests of Wis
cousin and Minnesota being laid low
This statement has attracted the atten>
ton of Mr.. Plat B. Walker, editor of the
northeastern Luabermda. who knows the
pine regions thoroughly.
He asserts in reply. with great posi-
tiveness, that the supply is good for
thirty years; and it will trsnspire in these
pineries, as it has in Michigan, when, In
1860. it was asserted that the supply of
pine would be exhausted in twenty years
and now the experts of the pine land
in that state allow that it will last thirty
years longer. Mr.. Walker SAYS that the
present careful method of cutting pine
will of course tend to make good this
prediction. A few years ago after the
first cut was made, the land was abap,
doned as valueless 1t has been found
that with a little care in ten or lively e
years the second growth of pine is almost
as valuable as the first. There is, how
ever, much more danger from fire after
the first cutting, as the limbs. bark, ct b..
which are left about become very dry
and ignite easily Much of the pine
of pine is removed, and is allowed to
revert TO the government, but something
more than half of it is fairly good farm
ing land. However. until the vast ac>
reage of unoccupied prairie lands lying
ready for cultivation are settled, these
lands, which must be cleared, will not be
sought after.
However, lumber manufacturers along
the Mississippi appear to have little fear
that their business will play out yet
awhile Large aud very expensive saw
mills have been built at points along
the river the past two yearS-two extern
sivc ones in Moline and Davenport-and
new raft steamers are built yearly.
