Sutage and to the benefit Of eastern in

ments. Nov these associations are ben
cit to working people. but have their
dnwbsoks. One difficulty beng that
city improvements make taxes SO high
that it is difficult for some to pay mp. and
the Investment does not pay, because the
property does not increase In value in q
corresponding ratio.
Now IL South Dakota real estate men
would write and have a responsible agent
In every large eastern city to attend to
the business, placing q suitable advertise.
ment in proper newspapers. setting forth
the advantages Of IN investment In the
lautis OF the state, their sure and rapid
increase in value. without risks. benefits
OF irrigation, light taxes, and ready sale
in the future, think it would pay. This
IL not tho case with city property, the
market being overstocked, and new addi-
tious Offering inducements which retsrd
the increase value of old plats.
II Dakota land could be paid for in
small semi annual payments running i've
or ten years, an abstract of title furnish.
cd and other inducement made. think
real estate in South Dakota would be seen
to be good paying investment for the
savings Of eastern farmers and mechanics.
Besides II would interest the. east In
the country. and get the land into the
hands Of those whom 1t was intended to
benefit when the government bought it.
This plan would bring settlers and help
build up our magnificent commonwealth.
