Limited Means.
A Splendid Opportunity for Profitable
Investment by the Wealthy.
To satisfy those interested in North
: Dakota land, by the consent of the
authors, Hartzell & Bascom, we publish
the following which is substantially the
same as circular issued by them. AIRY
one desiring further particulars will do
well to write the boys who were former
ly of this county and are now located at
Langdon, N. d., doing large business
and are strictly reliable.
FARMERS!
Why do you remain in a country
where land has advanced in price until
it is so valuable that your yearly income
is not enough to pay the usual rate of
interest on your investment?
RENTERS!
Why do you contine to try to gain a
home where, on account of high priced
land, rent is so exerbitant as to eat up
nearly, if not all of the results of your
toll, when there is yet an opportunity to
obtain cheap, fertile land in the most
productive spot on the face of the earth,
and by so doing secure home of your
own for the amount you have to pay for
rent in one or two years, if you remain
where you are? Cavalier county has
never had crop failure. The western
half of the Valley Of Red River of the
North, in North Dakota, is without
question the most productive wheat
and flax growing country in the world,
and second to none in the production of
oats, barley and all small grain CON-
monty raised in the northern temperate
zone.
The yield of wheat varies from IS to
40 bushels per acre, oats and barley
commonly yield from 40 to 80 bushels
per acre, flax from 10 to 25, while pota-
toes are as prolific in this locality as any
place in the Union, their yield per acre
often being counted by the hundreds of
bushels.
SMALL FRUIT.
Strawberries and other small fruit
grow luxuriantly here, and the settlers
fare far better than in the more
densley populated portions of the
country. Plums, une.berries, blueber-
ries and crabapples are among the wild
fruits commonly found Lore. In the
proper season it is no uncommon occur.
renee to see men bring whole wagon loads
of plums into town for sale, and those
who have tried the cultivation of tame
fruit now have an abundance.
LOCATION.
Cavalier county is situated in the
western half Of the Valley of the Red
River of the North, in the northeastern
part of North Dakota, and is bounded Cd
the north by that part of the Dominion
OF Canada that has of late also become so
famous as wheat growing country.
CLIMATE.
The climate is the most healthful,
lung and throat troubles are almost an
unknowu.quantity, while cases of catarrh
are rarely found and malaria is unknown.
North Dakota has the lowest death rate of
any state 10 the Union.
The summers are warm and pleasant.
with an abundance of rain to not only
grow good crops but furnish plenty of
water, while owing to the evenness of the
temperature the winters seem mild, and
are no more disagreeablo than those in
Iowa.
SOIL.
The soil is deep, black, rich loan
OF the most fertile type, supported by
clay sub-soil similar to that found in
most parts of Iowa.
SURFACE.
The lay of the country is almost level.
there being few hills OF any size, butt
is Just undulating enough to drain well,
and not rough enough to wash by fresh
cts. There are no stagnant ponds to
polute the atmosphere.
WATER.
The very best OF water can be had
anywhere in unfailing quantities, at a
depth Of from 10 to % feet, thus making
stock raising very profitable, as it affords
plenty of water for stock without driy.

is necessary in many parts of the west
where grazing is so extensively carried
on.
FUEL.
The railroads with their numerous
branches bring us in direct connection
with the great timber regions of Min
nesota and the coal mines of the Misss-
sippi Valley, as we'll as the Ignite mines
OF this state in the valleys of the Mis-.
souri, and Mouse rivers. Besides all this,
there is large tract of timber extend.

soft wood can be bought in any quantity.
already cut, at from 81 to 50 per cord.
Large amounts Of coal are transported
from the Pennsylvania regions via Great
Lakes to Duluth and stored during the
summer mon this so that it is at all times
ready for distribution, thus we have bet

eastern states.
