Like almost all new cOmmunitie!
manufacturing industries are needed
We have flour mills, of the most i'm
proved order, the water of the Pomme
de Terre and Chippewa rivers produc
ing power. A brick yard with large
capacity, furnishing brick of Il superb
or quality, is in active operation
Other manufacturing enterprises
adapted to the production of such
goods and wares us can be made from
wood, wool, straw and clay, could be
proftably engaged in, as the water
and transportation facilities, and the
abundance of raw material available,
would seemingly assure success, and
are at least deserving of inspection by
those embarking in undertakings of
this class.
Our taxation is not unreasonable,
considering that large area OF the
county is yet unoccupied or at least un-
cultivated; especially when it is also
considered that many permanent and
valuable improvements of a public ma
ture hereinafter enumerated and des-
cribed, have been made. Such county
expenditure for public buildings as
have already been made, would appear
somewhat large were it not the fact
that the future needs in this direction
have been provided for, thus avoiding
further outlay for long time to
come.
To give detailed statistics or an i'm
posing array of figures is not our in
tention. We have simply given
PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS
that can be readily substantiated. We
will not purposely mislead and have
no "boom' ideas to tempt our readers.
In fact it is not necessary for us to re-
sort to any doubtful methods, and our
readers can rest assured that in claim
ing for the soil of this county a rich
productiveness that may be equaled
but not excelled, we state a plain
truth. Minnesota's climaee is we'll
known as one of the purest and health
lest, and no where in this broad land
can a more delightful and invigorat-
ing climate be found. Our summers
are hot, but always tempered by cool
ing breezes. Spring and autumn are
always pleasant. The winters are
cold, with light snow falls, but the
is uniform, sharp, bracing
and invigorating, with a clear, bright
and peculiarly buoyant condition of
the air, that makes it enjoyable, rath-
er than otherwise. Our climate is
free from sudden changes of tempera-
ture, the air isdry and bracing and
free from dampness. We repeat, that
with rich soil, pure air, good water,
cheap fuel, fine grazing, abundance of
wild hay, unexcelled marketing facil-
tiles, low priced land, intelligent peo-
pie, wise laws and low taxes, we offer
strong inducements to those seeking
new and permanent homes in the west.
If we advise you to make an early
selection of home here, we do so be-
cause lands are becoming scarcer and
higher, and with the banner yield of
the wheat growing counties of Mime
sofa, such as the prospects now give
good promise of, we look with conf
dence for enhanched values on real
estate.
