In the United States the homeseeker has

the North Platte valley in Nebraska and in
the Big Horn basin in Wyoming, however,
the railroad has been ahead Of the settler

increases Farm Values.

From comparison with what has hap
pened in Iowa and Nebraska we can form
a safe conjecture for the future OF the
North Platte valley and the Big Horn ba-
sin. Ten years ago frst-class land could
be bought in Iowa for $40 an acre. Today
that land is selling for $50. $40 and $40 an
acre, practically out Of reach OF the man
Of moderate means. Some doubling Thomas
may say, But that land is east Of the
Missouri river. No such advance could be
shown in the west" Nebraska is nlled
with just such examples.
Going further west let us take the irri-
gated farms near Fort Morgan. Colo, for
example. Ten years ago land was worth
from tl2 to SIS an acre. Today 1t IL held
at $50. $40 and $50 an acre. with very little
for sale. These remarkable increases in
value Of farm lands show plainly enough
why there is a steady demand for cheap
lands that will grow staple products. and
accounts for the steady movement Of home
seekers to lands In western Nebraska and
beyond.
Reference has been made 70 irrigation in
both OF the new territories recently opened
to homeseekers. Americans are slowly
growing accustomed to irrigation. because
they are beginning to appreciate It a. an

New York. April 1.-THE London CORE
spondent Of the Evening Post cables:
In the interchanges between the Beers
and the Ministers the King is proving the
most insistent agency for peace. His anx-
iety to close the wer before his coronation
accounts for his frequent consultation with
his Minister'S
1t Is due largely to his influence that the
Ministers. though still nominally insisting
upon unconditional surrender. now take the
Boer acceptance Of complete annexation as
. basis for the informal discussions now
proceeding at Pretoria
Regarding the terms Of settlement as mat
ters stand. the Boer leaders generally.
though MesSrs Schalk-Burger and Steyn
exhibit reluctance. seem prepared to accept
Lord Miners assurances that a representa-
tive government will be granted to Boer
tories so soon as military necessities shall
permit. The Beers also are led to expect
that the banishment proclamation will he
allowed to lapse on the conclusion of peace.
AS regards amnesty. the British Ministry
set up difference between open and covert
rebellion among the Cape loyalists and re-
fuse amnesty to British subjects who, after
accepting British protection. secretly abet-
ted the enemy by deraiiing trains and piiias-
ing loyalists.
The question Of Acknowledgement of rebels
Is not likely to arise. seeing that the prob
