ments. Respectfully,
G. A. A. JOHNSON.
The above is a sample of several letters
that VIC have received during the last few
weeks. 1t has always been our custom
to reply promptly TO such requests for
information but, owing to press of
work recently, the inquiries have not
been answered. But we will now give
he'information asked for and send a con-
of the paper to Mr.. johnson and thr
ers who have written.

The stringent financial conditions of [,
past few years have been the only fac,c
in preventing the company from laying
ties and rails on this grade. The grade is
the property of the great Sault Ste. Marie
system, and just as soon as the money
market becomes easier the road will be
completed. When this shall have been
done real property will rise in value, as il
always does in a new country when rail

At present. however, land is cheap
here, and good tracts can be bought from
nen-rcsdents or from the railroad COM
pany (Which originally owned allthe odd
numbered sections for forty miles on
each side of the Northern Pacific right
of-way), at from $3.50 to IS per acre.
There is considerable good government

Fuel is cheap and plentiful, owing to
the nearness of the timber along the Mis-

Hay and pasturagc are free. Nothing
but labor need be expended in stabling
and feeding stock,
In conclusion, we would advise Mr.
johnson, or any one else who intends to
come to the Northwest, to first visit the
different parts of the region in which he
wants to locate, before he determines
upon place of permanent residence.
We. believe that he will find, all things
considered that Emmons county has
more advantages and fewer drawbacks
than any other of the never counties of
the state the counties where government
land can be obtained for nothing or other
lands bought cheaply.

Shall not Land.

"You shall not land" shouted Mrs
Kretchmar the sturdy proprietress of Chapel
Point to the Captain of the steamer Mattano,
on Monday as the boat attempted to tie TO the
wharf to receive on board some cattle that the
owner wished shipped to Washington city
No one receiving the tie rope, mate Posey
jumped off on the wharf and as he did SO,
'tnine" hostess grabbed him and hand to
hand tussle ensued, Mr.. Posey's watch drop
ping out Of his pocket and other injuries not
of very serious nature resulting from the
scufle. The plucky officer succeeded, how
ever, in making his vessel fast, and the next step
was to get out his gang plank. Again the
inventive genius of the fiery land-ady was
equal to the occasion, and fat down upon the
wharf in the gang way she sat, and the boat
people had either to put the plank upon her
Or give up the job, and deciding ''prudsnce 10
be the better part of valor'' the iresul boat
crew had to acknowledge themselves out lone
and gave up the joe.
1t seems that Mr. W. B S. Chapman, wish
ing to ship some cattle to Washington, wrote
to the Captain of the Mattsno, stating the
fact. and offering to ship by that boat If she
would come into Chapel Point. This the
boat authorities agreed to do, and when the
boat arrived at the wharf, the latter having
been leased to the Steamer Randall, she
was refused permission to land After find
ing it impossible to land, Mr.. Chapman
anpered at the unfair treatmsn; drove his
cattle 10 Glymout from which point the

will be our accusation ON that terrible dag.
