For many years farmers of this county
who owned lands purchased Of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
found 1t impossible to secure loans upor
their realty because the big mortgag,
companies held that the railroad compa
ny had no title. This has recently beer
altered by the railroad company having
secured patents to many Of their filings
heretofore made, and local representa-
tives of eastern loan syndicates state that
all the money justified can now be secured
by farmers or others who bought and
hold lands purchased from the Northern
Pacific. =
