The best criterion as to the value OF
North Dakota lands is the price that
wild prairie land will bring under the
hammer at auction sale. During last
week more than 10000 acres Of school
land was sold in Cass, Trail, Walsh,
Grand Forks and Pembina counties, all
wild prairie land at an average Of more
than $50 per acre, The price ranged
from SIG to S45 per acre.-Devils Lake

a picnicing party and spend the day

the river for several miles from the
point where it is damed and we believe
a pleasant time can be had.

several hundred thousand acres of va
can't land still remaining in this county.
Secure some of it at once. 1t will soon
be all taken up and will then rapidly
increase in value. The pioneers, Of a
right, are the ones who shonld benefit
by the rise and make the money.
The Olga cheese factory is now in

in that vicinity some $50 or 400. The
enterprising citizens of Olga have our
