Lamberton Star: There is no
better investment than to put mon
ey in Redwood county farming
lands. Men who have been renting
in Iowa and Illinois for years and
have saved up considerable money,
but are not able to pay the high
price for lands in those States, are
coming here and getting just as
good land for less than half what
they have to pay there. Land is
bound to 60 up. Since we came
here, little over year ago, land
has advanced in price all the way
from three to ten dollars per acre.

where he isstill in very precarious
condition. Mr.. Hojem writes an in
teresting letter, which is published
in the last issue of the Springfield
Advance, and speaking of cattle in
Oklahoma and Texas, and the draw
ing of the color line in the south, he
says: Saw some fine cattle in herds
of several hundred. There, how
ever, cattle are provided with hay,
and corn is fed in troughs placed on
the ground. On coming farther
south through this territory there
were still larger herds and any
number of dead cattle to be seen
and the rest were so poor that they
looked as though they might die
