SEcoND-There is coming . great
land boom In the west. The last foot
Of wheat and corn land on this CONT.
nent, subject to homestead and pre-.
emption, will be taken up, on the
opening of the Indian Territory. That
settles the land question on this con-
tinent for all time to come; and with
a good crop year and the opening up
of the Territory. the greatest Of all land
booms will be insugurated. Five dol.
lars an acre farms will go up to TWEEN.
ty dollars per acre. twenty dollar per
acre farms will 60 to sixty dollars;dfty
dollar farms will go to an hundred.
Did you ever think of the land stu
alton in this country?
THIRD-Within two or three years
farm loans will 90 begging at four or
five per cent. without commission.
Within two years it will not be POSI-
BILE to buy a good piece o. farm land
anywhere in the State d. less than
twenty five to fifty per cent. advance
on present prices.
This will settle the mortgage ques-
ton 90 efYectually that it will never be
heard Of again.
FoURTH-Artesian wells are being
found in western Kansas and eastern
Colorado. Others will be found. The
mountain streams will be damned,
the water will be stored In great
reservoirs, and in . short time that
magnificent empire will bloom and
blossom as the rose. If any man Is
skeptical. If any man doubts, let him
consider Kansas i've years ago and
then consider it now.
FIFTH-This means another million
people for the State; it means growth
and wealth; it means other Thousands
of miles of dividend paying railway
it means manufactures; it means .
prosperous and selfsustainiDg people.
The man who can't believe these
things can't believe his senses. We
have proven everything stated above
at least six times In the past thirty
years, and we will prove them the
seventh time in the next five years.
The man who knows Kansas as We
know it. who has witnessed the
various stages Of progression from
prairie grass and sunshine to an organ.
lied Territory; from q Territory to
Statehood, from Statehood to station
among the foremost commonwealth,
and has no faith in the future, is un-
worthy the name of Kansan.
Kansas is the center. All great
Railways frnm Ocean to Ocean pass
through 1t, while q half dozen lines
from the Lakes to the Gulf will cross
it.
Coal within its borders, coal on two
sides of it. rich soil everywhere, SUI.
shine over all.
Brains win
Half the States have been distanced
in thirty years and in half that time
this great State will be in the front
ranks.
We commenced with nothing and
have made the State what: it is. Now
that we have everything there Is no
limit to the Possibilities of the future.
With next years. crops the wheel Of
fortune puts land owners on top.
Ifyou doubt these general state.
ments take the figures. Compare the
population of any city, any county any
district Of to-day with the population
of 1882. Take the Railway mllage,
taxable valuation, acres under cultiva-
ton, number Of stock, and they all
tell the same story.-a story Of doub'
ling and quadrupling. Take the entire
State and it tells the same story. It ID
distinguishing more nor less-and
the man who goes away to find some
thing better will return broken hearted
next year or the year after; and the
man whe stops to consider will never
catch up.
"Kansas is State of surprises."
