The Advantages Of Buying Cheap
Land.

A000s
The cheap lands Of South Dakota
may offer no attraction to the eastern
farmer who 10 able to look out upon bis
broad acres, with fine buildings, and
plenty of live stock, ell free from debt.
However this may be, there are three
classes who would improve their con.
dition by leaving the east and coming to
this state. The first class is the sons Of
these well TODD farmers who are on the
v Of getting farms of their own. II
thees young men buy land e . home
it will take them years to get their land
paid for, while here, 80 has been shown,
a single crop will more than buy the
land upon which 1t IL grown. The sec.
ond class includes those who are
heavily in debt because Of the
attempt to and cultivate higt
priced land. II they were to sell theil
eastern holdings, they could buy chear
lands, put up buildings, procure live
stock and possibly still have none,
left. At any rate they would have some
hope of ultimately getting out Of deb
which would require nearly an entire
lifetime under eastern conditions. Tn.
third class who should lose no time II
seeking South Dakota is the renters. 1t il
hard to be poor anywhere, but the mel
who are renting high priced land in thu
east have themselves to blame il they
continue poor. Why pay another mar
. large portion OF the crop when yn,
can get cheap land and cultivate you
own possessions. With a very small
sum Of money q man can make q star
here. II he cannot pay for his land b,
q secure q loan upon il and he ca,
enjoy the satisfaction of working fo'
himself. The rich soil OF South Dakot,
with the same amount of labor will yielt
q crop unthought Of by the man VIII,
has been used to the stony hill sides o
east.

that there was no violation of the law, it

COLUMBUS WATER POWER.
Fears That Atlanta Will Seriously
Diminish II.

COLUMBUS, GA, Feb 1q.-Columbus man.
ufscturers representing $4,000 capital
have taken preliminary steps to restrain the
city Of Atlanta from tapping the Chatta-
hoochee river for her water supply. The
case promises to become noted in the an
mails of litigation. The immense cotton
mills OF Columbus are run by water from
the Chattahoochee river. Atlanta is 1870
miles north, near the head Of the stream,
and is constructing new water works, which
are to cost more than $500, 900, Intending to
draw her water supply from the Chatta-
hoochee None of the water thus diverted
can find its way back to that stream. Co
lumbus manufacturers claim that this is a
violation OF the United States statutes and
serious infringement OF their riparian
rights.
COL swIFT'S FEARs.
Col. George P. Swift, president of the
Muscogee Manufacturing Company, the
leader Of the movement, says IL Atlanta is
allowed TO proceed undisturbed she will
eventually absorb the entire water supply
north Of here. He claims that this would
seriously affect the water power OF Column
bus and West Point, especially when the
river is at low stages. he thinks our mills
will be compelled to shut down entirely at
such times. Another point made by Col.
Swift is that the Atlanta plan will seriously
impede navigation at low water stages and
give our commerce slap in the face.
The manufacturers at West Point will be
asked to cooperate. The citizens of Colum-
bus are thoroughly aroused over the i'm
pcrtance Of the matter. Advices from At
lenta indicate that her people are very
much stirred up. 1be mill men here say
they will maintain their rights if it costs
millions to do 1t.
ATLANTA NOT ALARMED.
ATLANTA, GA, Feb. 49, Considerable
talk was created among city officials to-day
by the receipt Of information to the effect
that the manufacturers and merchants of
Columbus and West Point were preparing
to apply to the court to prevent the tapping
of the Chattahoochee river for the city
water supply, according to the plan of the
new $1,000 900 water works, which are
now in process Of construction.
The proposed fight Of Columbus and West
Point is not regarded seriously by the
officials Of the city government. The water
board claims that the amount Of water
which Atlanta will take from the Chatta~
hoochee river will he comparatively small,
and that even when the river is at it's lowest
it will not interfere with the flow of the
stream. 1t is believed here that the pro-
posed injunction will amount to nothing.
