No BETTER immigration document
no better argument in favor of North
Dakota-could be compiled and sent
broadcast throughout the world, than
the facts in relation to the recent sale
Of school lands at auction. The bidders
were actual farmers, not s%peculators-
bona fide tillers of the soil in the vicinity
Of the land being sold by the state to
enrich the school fund. In Traill
county 1890 acres were sold and the
opera house was packed with farmers.
There we're over 600 of them-sometimes
ton to twenty bidders for each quarter
section. The lands are sold on five pay
~ments-irst in cash, second in five years,
third in ten years, fourth in fifteen years.
The farmers at this one sale had over a
quarter of a million dollars in cash-not
checks-right in their pockets in that
opera house to pay for any land
they might succeed in obtaining.
The bidding was spirited and the
average price received was S2O.42 an
acre-some quarters bringing as high as
$$38 an acre. Just think of it-wild land
pure virgin soil of North Dakota be-
ing purchased by the actual, bona fde
farmers of the state for $50 to $$39 an
acre. This fact alone is sufficient ans
wer to all the slanderous articles that
may have been written and published by
jealous eastern newspapers, and 1t is a
co mplete refutation of the charges OF the
calamity shriekers throughout the
land who see nothing but ruin
and despair in store for the farmer.
Only a prosperous farmer can go to an
auction sale of land and plank down the
cash for his purchase, and only rich soil,
capable of producing abundantly, could
be sold for 500 to $3S an acre without a
sign of improvement upon it. North Da-
kota is all right. The last Of the public

A RECENT publication issued by the
land and immigration department. of the
Northern Pacific says:
The most inter est:ng oiact to intending
settlers IS the large areas OF good unOccu-
pied prairie lands adapted to general farm
ing and stock raising which can still be
found in North Dakota. The state had a
population in 1890, according to the United
States census, of 1919, and, it is esti.
mated, now has a population of about 2OO,-
O0O, n can easily maintain in comfort a
population of 100000, without developing
any considerable cities; that is to say, a
purely agricultural population of a million
and a half can find homes and comfortable
support upon its lands. In the eastern
portion OF the state, especially in the Red
River valley. the country is COMPARATIVELY
Well settled and there are no free lands left
for settlement. West of the Red River
valley, in central North Dakota, there is a
large amount of free government land

west, beyond the Missouri river, probably
nine-tenths of the area OF the state is still
unoccupled. The second point of special
interest to intending settlers is the health
conditions OF the new state. No sensible
man desires5to place his family in an un-
healthy location, however rapid he can
accumulate property there. No harmful

part OF North Dakota; the whole state en-
Joys a remarkably healthy, i~nvigorating
and agreeable climate. 1t has q lighter
snowfall than Pennsylvania or Ohio, or
than Iowa or Nebraska, and much less
than in Michigan or New York. Winter
storms are rare, and there is a great deal
OF bright sunshiny agreeable weather dur
ing the Winter months; pleasant open
weather usually continues until after
Christmas: The winter lasts up to the
middle OF March or the first of April, when
it breaks up suddenly, so that the plows
can get TO work in April. There is no
season of muddy roads; as soon as the snow
goes off the sun and wind dry the surface
OF the soil so that the wheeling is good.
The summer heats are not as severe as in
the middle states; the warmth of the day is
always tempered by breezes, while the
nights are invariably comfortable.
