THROUGH THREE STATES.
States and Delivered Eight Speeches In One Day.

Augusta, Me. Aug. 26.-President Roosevelt Tuesday passed through three states, delivered eight speeches and received the plaudits of a quarter of million people. The greeting which has marked his progress through New England has been flat tering in the extreme, and Tuesdays | experience demonstrated his popular. ity perhaps more than ever before Everywhere at the regular stops and the smaller stations along the road the people were strenuous in their ef- forts to catch glimpse of him or to hear him speak, and at Haverhill, Mass, this desire assumed such a form that the crowds completely over rode the police and surrounded the presidents carriage, making it diff cult for it to advance.
 Meets an old Acquaintance. The days journey was not without its incidents. As the president was about to board his ear at South Law renee, Mass, after delivering his ad
 
 up and made himself known to him. He said his name was Banan. for mer cow-puncher and barber at Me dora, N. D., where the presidents ranch is located. The president im mediately recognized him and greet ed him as an old friend. The man, evidently desiring the president to know that he had profited by his ad- vice given some years ago, said to him;
 You told me to get married and settle down, and I did. I have got six children myself" which afforded the president no little amusement Many Floral Gifts. While on his way through the streets of Portland his carriage was stopped and he was presented with an album containing views of the city He stood up in his carriage and briefly thanked the donor, Capt Charles F. Dam. He has been the re- cipient of many floral gifts, and where unable to get near enough per sonally to hand them to him they threw them over the heads of the crowd into his carriage
 | Conspicuous among those who | boarded the train at Old Orchard to | extend welcome to the president was Congressman Littlefield. of Rock land. His visit was brief and the con versation turned on other subjects ] than trusts. MT. Littlefield declined to comment on the presidents last nights speech, pleading that he had not finished reading it.
 Immense Crowds Gathered. When Danville Junction was reached the president was greeted by Post master-General and Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Garret A. Hobart and Mrs. Charles Emory Smith. MT. Payne accompanied the president to Lewiston. Some stops were made which were not on the itinerary. At Lisbon, Lis bon Falls and Brunswick, Me-, inn mense crowds gathered, and the pres ident, in response to their clamorous calls, was obliged to appear on the rear platform and say few words. Although the day has been particu- larly hard one on him, the president gave but slight signs of fatigue. He is the guest of Gov. Hill, who met him at the depot and escorted him to his residence, where the president made short address.
 The governors Aouse has become historic because of the fact that it was the home of James J. Blaine, and the president occupies tonight the identical bedroom used by that statesman.

DAYS OF OPPORTUNITIES

What Barron and Washburn COun-
ties Have to Offer.
The Central Minnesota Land company
says that during the past two years a
large part Of their business has consisted
of the sale of northern Wisconsin lands,
in Barron and Washburn counties. The
sales made have been almost exclusively
to actual settlers, who are now moving
upon and improving the lands. Inquiries
received regarding the class of lands are
at least 100 per cent in excess of those Of
former years, and all indications point to
very large influx of settlers this season,
and consequent rise in values. The
character of the new settlers, financially
speaking, is exceptionally good. The
deferred payments on their contracts for
purchase, are met promptly, and in many
cases before coming due. This is one Of
the strongest arguments that could be
advanced regarding that section. A men,
Der of this firm says:
Lands forty miles south, no better than
those we are offering, are selling at $50 to $50
per acre. It is simply question of settle
ment. Barron and Washburn counties offer
all the advantages enjoyed by other portions
Of the state, and there is no reason why land
there Is not worth just as much. They are
In direct railway communication with five
great markets--an item Of great Importance.
This feature alone should convince any one
as to the coming value of these lands In our
judgment there is no better field to-day,
either for the investor or homeseeker, than
in northern Wisconsin

lands OF the north they are found to be
very profitable investment. Timbered lands
are, In our Judgment, superior to western
prairie lands to the man of small MEANS We
admit that on the prairies the lands are easy
to cultivate, but to the man who has limited
means, who has small resources with which
to get started, the timbered land is preferable.
NO failures visit timber country, If industry
and energy are exercised. The standing tim
Der furnishes material for buildings and
fences, fuel is abundant and while cAAuESng
his land the farmer can sell his wood HiW-
logs, and ties for moneys sufficient Fl II vi his
reasonable requirements. When part n the
land is cleared and devoted to crops an 4 sri
culture, the remainder can be h Nd ~ a
wood lot, from which steady source W in
come can be realized during the winter
months for a considerable period of years.
We have been identified with the development
of northern Wisconsin for many years, and We
have yet to see failure among any of our
people who have labored diligently and hon
estly for a home. The prevailing timber con-
sists of hemlock, birch, elm, Eastwood, maple,
ETC., which all command a ready market at
the sawmill and railway station. The climate
of Taylor county is healthy and invigorating,
and the water supply is good and abundant
First-class water can be had at "a depth OF
thirty feet, and driven wells are unnecessary
The rainfall Is sufficient in all seasons, and
droughts and hot winds are practically un-
known.

Benson & Anderton, of Milwaukee, have
been dealing in central and northern Wis
consin lands for twenty years. They have
seen the prejudice against northern Wis
consin lands gradually wear away and
that section become favorite with the
homeseeker from the east and south.
They have always had faith in what some
people termed 1.-THE Wilderness"
Slowly, at first very slowly. did the tide
turn, but the stream of land-seekers was
at last changed to the desired direction,
and about three or four years ago, this
firm, had the satisfaction of seeing their
belief in that country justified and proved
to be correct. Although prices on lands
had doubled, it was very easy work to dis
pose of any desirable land, and from then
on till the present date, the good qualities
Of the land, its excellent location and the
vast amount of improvements accom-
plished in the shape of highways, school
houses, new railroads, etc, made the land
not only easy to dispose of, but created
demand which quite frequently exceeded
the supply in some sections. ~. + .
In former days when man had the
courage to settle in Central Wisconsin,
his friends and neighbors always plying

again. He did not come back, however,
and the same friends and neighbors, in
many instances. followed him.

Northwestern Wisconsin is being rapidly
settled by pioneer farmers from northern In

These people, after careful investigation and
examination of the crops that have been pro-

will grow fine crops of wheat, oats, barley,
rye and even corn.
First prizes have been taken at the state

good grass and an unlimited supply of pure

Charles Macarthur, of Eau Claire, Wis,
western representative of the treasury de-
pertment OF Cornell university, says that
the demand for Wisconsin lands is fast
increasing. He discusses Wisconsin con-
ditions as follows:
Heretofore Wisconsin has been almost
wholly given oyer to the manufacturing of
pine lumber. 1t is now fast changing The
pine is gone Instead of leaving behind it a
barren, as is generally supposed by those UNI
acquainted with the facts, there have been
left large areas of fertile soil ready for the
hushandman, as the choicest pine was found
scattering among the hardwoods upon the
richest lands. One also finds villages, towns
and cities, as we'll as municipal improvements
that compare not unfavorably with those Of
wei! settled communities of the older states
The annual precipitation, the bulk OF which
falls during the growing seasons, is from
thirty-siN to forty inches, shown by the
government reports for the past ten years
The past season, as usual, has given northern
Wisconsin good crop, although it has been
one of severe drought over a large portion of
the central and western states. =
Being familiar with almost every crossroad
OF Iowa, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Ne
braska. Minnesota and the Dakotas, through
having examined many thousands of acres
OF lands in these states for the purpose Of
placing mortgage loans upon them during the
past twelve years, am confident that could
the people OF those states know from COM
parative standpoint the character and quality
OF the desirable lands Of northern Wisconsin,
the climate. the nature of the seasons, the
vegetation they produce and the natural re-
sources, to say nothing of the advantages and
opportunities to be had, there would be a rush
to acquire homes at the present low prices at
which they can be secured, as there was to
register for the recent government parceling
OF the Indian territory lands. This rush i.
