About Colonies.

Some of the colonial experiments
of Germany have presented a most
thorough explosion of the theory that
trade follows the flag. In the reich
stag Herr Richter recently analysed
the most recent government report
on the colonies. He demonstrated
that in all he trans-marine posses
sions of the empire there are bus
1862 Germans; and civil and military
officers. missionaries. women and
children are included in this number.
by dividing the expense of admins
tration of the colonies by the total
number of their white inhabitants.
Richter showed that each individual
colonist costs the empire 5000 marks
year. tie showed further that the
total trade of the colonies amounts
TO 25,000.OOO marks per year. while
the appropriations for the mainten-
ance of the colonial government have
reached the sum of. 10000. 900 marks
a year. Finally he shows that the
slight increase of exports To the col
onies is due chiefly to the increase OF
material required for government
works, additional military supplies
and things of that nature.
We're we td make a similar analy-
sis of our account with the Philip
pines. what would ii reveal? 1t
would, the Springfield Register an
swers. reveal conditions far worse
than those presented to the reich
stag by Herr Richter. The theory
that trade is following the flag into
the Philippines is all bosh. Aside
from our exports of supplies for sol
diers and shipments of living and

Ii is generally admitted by Wash

that Frye has Numbered stupid

that it has rushed things about as

The Red River Valley, one of the most
fertile sections on the globe, comprises
the counties Of Pembina, Walsh, Grand
Forks, Trail, Cass and Richland in North
Dakota; Kittson, Marshall Polk, Norman.
Clay and Wilkin in Minnesota. The Red
River of the North, often referred to as
the American Nile, forms a portion Of the
boundary line between Minnesota and
North Dakota. So prolific and reliable in
wheat production is the Red River valley
that for years it has been known in many
sections of the continent as the Bread
Basket Of the World
In settlement and the cultivation OF
available soil the Dakota side of the Red
River has, on the whole, progressed more
rapidly than the Minnesota counties. This
is partly due to the fact that the land on
the Minnesota side Is not so we'll drained,
in portions, as that west of the river. The
state Of Minnesota took steps to over
come this handicap several years ago by
inaugurating a general drainage plan in
that part Of the state. This is progress
ing steadily and as a result large districts
of the best-producing land in the world
are being brought into the market
This year3will record a large number OF
sales of Red River Valley lands. Invest
ment in these lands Is regarded absolute
ly safe and sure to yield good returns.

Land values in the valley have steadily
increased. Ten years ago some very
choice quarter sections could have been
purchased at a figure which to-day would
be regarded as surprisingly low. Values
now range from SIS to $35 per acre, and
each year sees the figures go higher. This
section of the northwest, 80 miles wide
by 200 miles long, is attracting money for
investment from every financial center in
the east. It's farmers are investing ir
thoroughbred stock. In ten years the ma
jority of them have graduated from the
debtor class into the creditor lists. Many
thousands of dollars will be invested il

vest in Red River Valley lands. 1t is no
longer matter of speculation; results are
absolutely assured. Fortunes are annually
being made In real estate investments in the
Great Bread Basket of the World. Prices
are rapidly increasing and it is only a ques
ton of time till land doubles in value. Within
two years $50 will be the ruling price and as
Interest rates are cut in two from to 3 per

per acre will sell for $500.
! The population of the northwest Is increas-
ing SO rapidly and from SO many sources
that, unless the arid lands Of the vest are
irrigated, there will be nothing left for home
seekers. Naturally the most favored sections
of the newer states-like the Red River Val
.ley-will be in greater demand and the value
Of the holdings enhanced
The demands for homes was never SO great
and it will be- maintained as Ions as the
prosperous political conditions exist.

of land Is not affected by panics and hard
