fur WITH the growing of corn natural
ly came stock-raising OF all kinds, and
the creameries, and, just as naturally.
Following this. came the present rise in
land values. Considering their intrins-
ic values, claim that the prices on our
lands are still very low. and from my
observations in Minnesota and the two
Dakotss / know of no locality I'm either
state Offering more Inducements to the
homeseeker or the investor than the
Coteau valley, in Grant and Roberts
counties, and Big Stone and Traverse
counties, Minnesota.
Reference to table of government
statistics shows this territory to be well
within the established corn belt and the
region of unfailing rains, and I know
personally that there has. not been a
failure of crops in the territory east Of
the Coteau Hills in the past twenty
years. The natural flow of water east
from the Coteau Hills obviates the dan
ger OF drought and insures an unfailing
supply of excellent water at moderate
depth.
Iowa Is the greatest state in the
Union because II is in the region OF suf-
ficient rainfall and because IL is first m
the production of corn; corn being the
key to successful stock-raising, and
that, in turn, being the key to success
full farming. The soil and climatic con-
ditions are such that our farming is
making a second Iowa of this section OF
Minnesota and the Coteau valley IN
South Dakota: but did you ever stop TO
think that no amount of labor can In
crease the rainfall of the arid belt the
smallest fraction OF an inch, or length

The question of regency is being

sepators Appeal to the President to
Delay Action.
Washington. April 20. - Gen. Miles
has been given a reprieve. President
Roosevelt has determined not to re.
tire the lieutenant general command
ing the army. for the present at least.
This was the immediate result Of visit
made to the White House by Senators
Allison of Iowa, Hoar of Massachusetts,
and Hale OF Maine who urged that the
forcible retirement of Gen. Miles at the
present time. within n year and half
of his limit OF legal service. would pre-
cipitate upon the country another mill
itary controversy, similar to the Samp-
Schley disturbance. The president
said frankly IL had been his intention
TO retire Gen. Miles and IL was adj
mitted that the statement made by the
press last Sunday night was by au-
thority. In view of the personal and
political pleas made by the three dis
tinguished senators the president stated
that he would delay matters, at least
for the present.

London, April 2O--The government
leader, A. j. Balfour, in the house OF
commons, made the following impor-
tant statement:
After two conferences between Lord
Miner, the British high commissioners
of South Africa, and Lord Kitchener
and the BOer Delegates at Pretoria
Lor>' Kitchener, while refusing to gront
an armistice, on military grounds, has
agreed TO give ia eilities for the election
and meeting OF repre- sentatives of the
various Boer commanders to consider
the position. The Boer leaders have,
therefore. left Pretoria to carry out this
plan"
Favor british Peace Tern,s.
Mr.. Balfour added that II was not
expected that communication between
the British authorities and the Boer
leaders could be resumed in less than
three weeks time.
Mr.. Balfour's statement made a gen.
orally favorable impression. 1t was
argued among the members that the
action of the Boer leaders demonstrates
that. at any rate majority of the del
egates favor the acceptance of sug-
gested British peace terms. The sub
mission Of the question to a plebiscite
Of the burghers is, according to Boer
law which requires the leaders OF
armed forces In the field to take the
opin!on of their followers before con-
Guiding peace.
