northern Minnesota and Mani
toba where he had been with his

they had intended to make some
investments in land if the oppor

| it. Mr.. Merry says, however
that the land boom had preceded
him, and he found prices so high
that he declined to invest. HI
visited the Red Lake country

factorily situated will not be like
ly to improve his opportunities
in any of the localities he visited
