TEMPTING RATES TO THE
FAR WEST
IL COMMENCE OCT. Is
Settlers Are offered Very Low Rates
to Points in Montana, Idaho
and Washington
States.

The Great Northern Railway company
has decided upon Offering to those rde
sirous of going West to settle, the adj
vantage of extremely low rates. The
prospectus issued by the company fully
explains the object of the move and in
part it is as follows:
1.-The possibilities of the Great North
ern country have never yet been exploit
ed A large harvest, rich mineral
strike, or any other circumstance adj
vantageous to other sections result in
cheap excursion rates to attract the at
tention of the homeseeker, the prospec>or
and investor, but the Great Northern
country raises its bountiful harvests, pre-
duees its tons of minerals, its unequaled
lumber year after year, and will do so
for uncounted years, while millions of
acres of productive farming, timber and
mineral lands lie idle, for the reason that
the people necessary to develop the re-
sources of this vast section do not re-
celve the same opportunities to inyesti-
gate its agricultural forest and mineral
advantages as are given to other less
favored sections by the cheap excursion
rates made from time to time to induce
inspection and tmmigra ton. Therefore
the Great Northern Railway company,
believing its paramount duty to be the
development of the territory tributary
to its line Of road and believing the in
terests Of such territory and the people
who have settled therein can best be
fostered and subserved by the further set
Element and development of the country
and its resources, hereby announce one
way and round trip settlers excursion
rates, which 1t is believed will aid in
accomplishing the objects for which they
