Disc Graphopnsnss and Flat Records.

Perfection in Disc Graphophones and
Flat Records was quickly achieved by
the Columbian Photograph company,
the pioneers and leaders in the talking
machine art, when it demonstrated the
wonderful possibilities Of the fat, indie
structible records. UP to that time no
thing important had been accomplished
The machines were faulty and the rec
ords were not in the same class with the
cylindrical records used on the phrpo-
graph. A knowledge Of how to make
disc records and the proper material Of
which TO make them, seemed TO be en-
tirely lacking, The wide experience of
the record department of the Columbia
Phonograph Company enabled IL to
|, grasp the true principles undey lying tho
making Of disc records, and the first pro
duct was a great deal better than any
thing that had been accomplished by
others. With the lapse Of time the i'm
provement that has come with practice
has placed the Columbia Disc Records
far in advance Of all others. They are
characterized by smoothness, sweetness,
clearness and naturalness. And while
preserving all these desirable qualities
they are the loudest records on the mar
ket.
the Disc Graphophone is made in
three types, selling at els. $50 and $50.
Seven inch records Soc each, Is per dog.
10 inch records 81 each, $40 per dozen.
The Graphophone and Columbia Rec
ords were awarded the Grand Prize at
the Paris Exposition Of 1900.
The Columbia Phonograph company,

quarters for graphophones and talking
machine supplies, Of every kind, will
send you catalogues on application.

THE FERTILE VALLEY

WHEAT AND STOCK.

The Red River Valley, one OF the most
fertile sections on the globe, comprises
the counties of Pembina, Walsh. Grand
Forks, Trail, sCass and Riehland 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 portion Of the
boundary line between Minnesota and
in wheat production Is the Red River
valley that for years 1t 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
rariGly than the Minnesota counties. This
is partly due to the fact that the land on
the Minnesota side is not so well 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 states This is progress
ing steadily and as a result large dis
tricts Of the best producing land in the
world are being brought into the market.
This year will record 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.

The right Of homestead may be initiated

months within which to make his entry.
Final Proof.
Final proof can not be made until the
expiration of five years from date OF en-

After the expiration of fourteen months
from date of entry the law allows the en-

legal rate Of $1.25 per acre, or $3.50 II

are particularly advantageous, for the
reason that there are thousands OF acres
that can be taken up as honesteads

Gated at Bismarck. The 100000 acres that

The 500 line touches the lower end Of the

north is Fargo. Grand Forks. Fargo and
Crookston are the three principal towns.
All three are growing rapidly because OF
the prosperity OF the country tributary.
Red River valley farmers have grown
rich raising wheat and stock. During re-
cent years fax acreage has greatly In
creased. These two grains have made the
Red River valley known as one portion
OF the globe where actual want Is not
known.
Increasing Land Sales. s.
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 ngures go higher. This
section Of the northwest, 50 miles wide
by zoo miles long, IS attracting money for
investment from every financial center IN
the east. It's farmers are investing in
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 in
farm Improvements this year. Red River

of Iowa and other states who delight In
rich soil, and hundreds Of such farmers
are making purchases in both Minnesota

FAMOUS MISSOURI SLOPE
A STRONG FAVORITE WITH LANDSEEKERS- CORN WILL BE-
COME A STAPLE-PREMER STOCK REGION.

The grasses mature before frost and
when winter comes they are in the con-
dtion of hay, and cattle prefer winter
grazing to the best of hay. The grasses
are exceedingly nutritious. The snowfall
Is light and there is bright sunshine most
Of the winter and cattle and horses often
keep during the entire winter without
a mouthfuI Of hay or grain. Sheep In
like manner feed on the pra1rles, except
an occasional winter Of deep snow max
ing it necessary to make provision for
feed, though often not used. Corn is
grown uccessfully in all parts Of the
state, but more especially in the Missouri
valley, where the chinook winds Of the
Pacific slope materially modify the CHI
mate, giving a climate equal to central
Iowa. The days are longer than in Iowa
by nearly an hour, in summer, and this
has the effect to strengthen the grasses
and push corn and vegetables to maturity
The Fourth of July rarely comes without
green peas, new potatoes and other vege-
tables of the same season much farther
south, In the local gardens. The winters
are free from rains, the snowfall Is light
and the roads are smooth and hard dur
ing the entire winter. There is seldom
sleighing more than few days in win
ter. Blizzards are as rare as tornadoes in
other countries. :.... <
Corn Can BE Grown.
Sheep do exceedingly we'll and are not
subject to diseases found in moister CHI
mates. The latest range cattle that go
Into the Chicago market are from this
very region, which extends, however, to
the Fort Buford region on the north.
From the very first settlement Of this
region corn has been grown and for sew
eral years Morton county not only led all
the rest but grew more corn than all
other portions of the state, including Bur
leigh county, its hottest rival. Corn
y promises to become again the leading
crop in this region, because 1t grows well
and Is profitable in stock growing
With diversified farming and stock
growing the slope counties, both east and
west Of the Missouri, promise to become
the most popular portion of the state.

Greatest of All Flax states.

This state produces so Der cent OF the
entire fax production Of the United
States. Ramsey, Benson, Roiette, Pierce,
Bottineau, Cavalier, Towner, Nelson, and
Morton are the banner fax counties,
In Ramsey county alone the fax pro-
iuction for 1901 amounted to $4,000 900.
The crops of wheat, oats, corn, barley,
potatoes, millet, and hay were likewise
phenpmenally large. The stock industry
is rapidly increasing, and there Is no bet

One Pursuit Of Many.
''Sheep raising in North Dakota is des-
tined to become one of the leading In
dustries Of that great and promising
state" says John Merton, perhaps the
largest raiser of fine Shropshire sheep IN
the northwest.
North Dakota offers excellent oppor-
tunities for sheep men," he continued.
There are thousands of acres of the fin
est grazing land, which are, to large
extent, still undeveloped. As wheat and
sheep have made the fame of Australia, ]
believe they will in time bring North d.
kota before the Aitentlta ~ the world.
The state is certainly we'll enough known
for her wheat already. and THE sheep and
wool are finding favor with the country
more and more each year.
"One Of the greatest means to the de-
sired end is the evident atm OF the cat
tie men to Introduce only stock of the
finest quality. Some Of the finest blood
| In the country Is now to be found on the
Dakota ranges, and as a result the wool
commands high price, and the reputa-
ton of the state prospers accordingly
