Of that church. In sO-dOing it is his
intention on Sunday to give away to

The speaker traced the nstion'p rapid

referring to the gains made In the

The price of land varies much, accord

ticularly wild land, for agricultural
purposes. The officers of the land
office here say that the demand for
homesteads this spring was unusual,

Real estate dealers report that there
is much inquiry for cheap wild land.
There is still considerable such land to
be found within a radius of twenty or
thirty miles of st. Cloud. Prices range
from s. to $50. Transfers in improved
farm lands are not so many. Improved
farms have sold as cheap as $40 an
acre, but a much better price is the
rule. They range from this to $50, $40
and even $50, according to location
Merchants report an improvement in
all retail branches. There is a general
feeling that the country has entered
upon an era of prosperity. While mor-
chants are still buying cautiously,
there is not that fear of overstocking.
Local prospects are exceedingly en-

LITTLE FALLS, Mimi, July THE
demand for real estate in this county
is about the same as it was two years
ago. The demand for farm lands
shows small increase. The average
price for farm lands is $40 an acre.
The merchants of this city find bust
ness steadily picking up, and by fall
expect to be doing the business that
they did in the spring and early fall of
1893. The dry goods merchants are
doing a rushing business, and some
claim that they are doing more bust
ness now than they did two or three
years back. All the mills are running
full force. Since the recent rains the
Mississippi and smaller streams in this
section of the county have raised con-
siderable. The Pine Tree Lumber com
pany is running both its mills day and
night. Buchanan & Buchanan and sew
eral smaller firms have got their logs
moving nicely down the streams. Lit
tie Falls looks for a boom this fall, as
the Pine Tree company is liable to
start to build three railroads, and the
Northern Pacific is figuring on build
ing new depot. Several fine brick
blocks are now under construction,
and several more business men intend
to build before fall. New houses are
going up continually. All the carpen-
ters and masons in this city are re-
ceiving steady work.

Real estate in the city is also bring
ing good prices. South side real estate
along the lake shore is now bringing
four or five times as much as it could
be purchased for a year ago, and peu-
pie are not hesitating to pay the prices
asked, as the large number of trans
fers prove. Numbers of new and hand

over the city. The price per
pew residence seems 10 reg

John Latsch & Son have pur-
chased some corner property at Second

grocery business, at a price of 1880.
H. Choate has just opened bids for

his fine building, at the corner of
Third and Center streets, TO be erected
at an expense of between $4,000 and
$4,000 Other business blocks in con-
struction and prospect could be cited,
ranging close to $4,000 or S12, 900 each.
Merchants report business picking
up, much in comparison with the
spring trade, and still better prospects
for the fall. Demand is fair in all
lines Of trade, but though such is the
case, the city is not on BOOM and
Is having generally satisfactory
growth.
The crops this year are elegant In
some places they are a. little heavy,
but on the whole everything is grow
ing well, and giving more promise of
a line harvest than it has in many

ated by the general feeling of conf
dence as to the immediate future pros
prlty of the whole Northwest, as we'll
as by the expectation of an immense
grain corp. 1t is pleasure to look at
the wheat fields this year; the grain is
so thick the stalks fairly brace each
other up, instead of the usual sparsely
covered tracts, half grown to weeds.
Where for years past good farms
could be bought for from So to $40 per
acre, and in. some cases less, the aver
age price is now about S12, and the pre-
diction is safe that before fall SIS will
be cheap for ordinary farm lands, and
as most of the bargains of farms
sold at sacrifice have already been
picked up, the current price will be
maintained for some tine to come.

The merchants are doing good bust
ness in every line. There are several
handsome houses now under process
of construction, and work on the new
Metropolitan theater has been COM
menced. AS the prosperity of the town
depends so largely on the success Of
the wheat crop, it is only natural that
the feeling in the community is one Of
universal confidence and hope.

Five Years.

PRINCETON, Min, July 6.-There
is a greater demand for real estate in
Mile Laos county-particularly farm
lands-now than for the past five yearh
or at any time heretofore; this is at
tributed in q. great measure to the fact
that Princeton and the country
adjacent are situated in the finest po-
tato-producing belt on the continent,
yielding, without doubt, the best
favored tuber of any locality known;
100000 bushels were shipped from here
last season. at an average price of
60 cents per bushel. Hence potato
land'' is iii good demand, as the profit
from this crop is large, and no expen-
sive machinery is required to harvest
the same. The price of land varies
from s. to $25 per acre, depending on
quality of soil and nearness to mar
ket-bearing in mind at all times that
Princeton is only forty-seven miles
from Minneapolis. The merchants here
are doing a very satisfactory cash
busine ss and expect largely increased
trade this fall. In the potato season"
between $4,000 and $500 is paid to the
farmers every day, and of course the
merchants and tradesmen of this vii
lage get their share of it. Crops never
looked better than at present, and the
outlook for the immediate future is
very encouraging.
