some steps to mitigate the evil by grad

One remedy has been suggested, but
as always is the case one or two figur-

proposed to lay small drain from the

SIGNS OF PROSPERITY

Sheldon, n. D.-That the farmers Of
this section of North Dakota, at any
rate, are in a prosperous condition and
hopeful for the future, is proved by the
real estate transfers which are being
made. The annual leasing of school
and state lands in Ransom county,
which was recently held in Lisbon. re
suited in largely increased rentals be-
ing paid, especially in the east end of
the county. The immigration Of Iowa
farmers to this neighborhood contin-
ues, and there is every prospect for Il
large influx from that state in the
spring. One OF these Iowans, Il. ].
Corcoran, has bought the Pierce farm,
a half section seven miles north Of
Sheldon, which was the homestead of
Patrick Pierce, an old settler now re-
siding at Enderlin. He is the father
of Ed Pierce, the big real estate dealer
and banker Of Sheldon. The consider
alton in this deal was $4,000. John

bought a section OF land nine miles
southwest of here and says that sew
eral of his neighbors intend moving IN
