FTTTTfTF in Paragraphs.

T The country can never be any
larger unless an earthquake lifts up the
bottom of the sea.
There is no more land in the United
States than there was when Columbus
discovered il, except little made ground
at the mouths of the rivers.
Our population is increasing very
fast and the hunger for land will become
greater every year.
Land is increasing in value every
day. In time it will be as high priced
as it is in England.
T Land is the basis of all wealth.
1t cannot be stolen.
1t cannot run away.
1t cannot burn up.
Y 1t produces the food of man and
animals
1t is the safest investment on earth
1t can still be had in the Northwest
at very reasonable prices.
1t can still be homesteaded in some
parts of the Northwest.
The only cheap or free land of any
agricultural value remaining untaken in
the country is along the line of the
Great Northern Railroad.
III the Devils Lake and Turtle
Mountain districts of North Dakota free
farms produced in I8or and 1892 from 20
to 40 bushels of wheat to the acre.
In the Red River Valley renters
often pay for improved farms from a
share of single seasons crop.
T Land on the crop share plan can
still be had
T Why do men live on high priced
rented land back East, which they can
never own, often paying for fertilizers
per acre more than virgin soil can be
bought for in the We>s!
4 Fine ranges invite the attention of
stock raisers in Montana.
Minnesota, Montana. Idaho and
Washington contain the only forests of
valuable timber remaining in the re-
public.
The Northwest invites everybody.
There is good deal OF everything to be
found there.
The new transcontinental line of the
Great Northern gives transportation
facilities to large areas of new farming
grazing, numbering and mining country.
The Great Northern runs from St.
Paul. Minneapolis and the East to
Puget Sound

WOES OF FARMERS.
British Landlords Deprived of Rents
and Tenants Toiling Without Profit.

An Agricultural Congress opened in st.
James's Hall, London, England. The Earl
of Winchelsea presided. He said that reso-
lutions would be submitted embodying sug-
cestions received from agriculturists all over
the world since the last Congress was held.
He was unable to congratulate the congress
upon any improvement in the agricultural
situation. Landlords were losing their rents,
and tenants were being deprived OF their
profits, Thousands OF laborers were witnout
work. and the towns were suffering from an
influx of pauper laborers. The question was
rapidly assuming the proportion OF Ma
tional disaster. The Nation was becoming
more and more dependent upon food brought
from foreign countries. The consensus OF
expert opinion was that the navy was mad
equate to protect the food supply in the
event OF war.
