by the main line of the Northern Pa
cific railroad, let US turn back and look
little more closely at region near at
home which is now attracting unusual
attention by reason of its enormous
wheat crop. / mean the new state of
North Dakota. This state, with a popu-
lation of less than 200. 600, has harvested
during the present year over 60,000,00
bushels of wheat. 1t is probable that
no community of the same population
engaged in farming ever before took
so much money of the land in a single
year. Now this great yield of the
King of cereals was raised where land is
cheaper than in any other state of the
Union, when its fertility and nearness
To the original grain markets of Du-
luth and Minneapolis is considered.
Another fact is interesting-name that
there is great deal of land unoccupied
and untitled in North Dakota which is
Just as good and productive as that on
which this enormous wheat crop was
grown. Excellent land for both grain
growing and stock raising can be had
In North Dakota within sight of rail-
roads for from So to $40 an acre. Now
the reason of this phenomenal cheap
ness of first-clasS prairie soil ready for
blowing must be found in the fact that
there is too much land in the state for
the number of inhabitants now there.
In other words, land is the cheapest
thing there because of quantity in pro-
portion to the population. There is a
limit on the amount of land which can
be titled by given population, and the
acreage in excess of this limit will con-
tinue to bear hardly more than NOM
lnal price until it is wanted by addi-
tional settlers. The people who go into
North Dakota, during the next year, Will
have the advantage OF these low prices.
II they want TO go little west of the toll
erably well-settled part of the state and
few miles distant from railroads, they
can still get good land for nothing. for
there are IL, 135, 40 acres still open to
homestead entry. The settler who does
not care to be a pioneer can purchase 16O
acres of tirSt-class land, luXuriantly COW
cred with wild grasses and all fitted for
plowing, for from $500 to $1,000, with five
or six years time to pay for it. He will
live within few miles of a postOffice
and railway station, and will have a
school for his children within sight of his
farm. lie will not be further from a
smart county seat town with good stores,
churches. grain elevators and graded
schools than will be a pleasant days

OF the many great business enter
prises which combine to make St. Paul
one of the leading commercial cities of
the continent no one is of greater i'm
pOrtance than the Northern Pacific rail
road, which has its headquarters In this
city, from which it directs all its vast
operations, stretching across the entire
country from the head OF Lake Superior
to the shores of the Pacific ocean. The
number of miles now operated by the
Northern Pacific company is 1883. This
is more than twice the mileage the COM
pany had when it celebrated the OPEN
ing of its tranS-cOntlnental line in 1888
by the brilliant excursion that will long
be remembered in st. Paul. Since that
date the company has built in branches,
extensions, and in its Cascade division
more miles of road than would parallel
the entire original main line. Many in
telligent railway critics now rate the
Northern Pacific as the greatest ailway
system in the world, having in view not
alone its mileage, but also the vast eX-
tent and divers fed resources of the re-
giOn to which it supplies transportation
