Jurors who Serve Where Plaintiff is
Pauper.

In response to a query from the
probate judge of Kay county an opin-
ion Of importance throughout Oklaho-
ma was haEded down from the attor-
ney generals office relative to the fees
OF jurors in probate courts. In the
case involved the plaintiff having
made poverty affidavit, was defeated
as a result OF the trial before jury in
the probate court, thus leaving the
Jurors without fees. The attorney
general decides that in such cases the
Jurors must serve without fees or else
the probate judge must refuse the
plaintiff, sueing as pauper, the privi
lege of jury, unless said plaintiff is
able in some way TO deposit the costs
of jury trial.

REACHING THE LIMIT.
There is no limit to population; but
there is a limit to the land capable of
producing food, and we are rapidly
approaching that limit. Practical men
are already devising means for utilizing
waste or sterile lands by irrigation
and otherwise. The day is near at
hand when all farm products will ap-
preciate in value, proportionate to the
ever-increasing demand.
SUPPOSING.
If you found at your doors a SO
gold piece, you would hardly shut
your eyes and leave it there, because
somebody advised you to go further in
search of a $40 piece. That would be
mistaking the shadow for the sub
stance. So it is with the fruitful places
of the earth. Wise men, when they
find them, will go in and inhabit them,
leaving the Missionaries to travel on
wards in search of an imaginary land
of milk and honey.
RIGHT HERE.
Almost at his doors the poor man has
now the opportunity of securing good
land in the most productive state in
the Union, Minnesota, whose grand,
rolling prairies and timbered openings,
intersected by ripping streams of the
pureSt water, present the ideal of farm
homes. Here nature bountifully pro-
vides all that is desirable for the most
successful farming. The very name

instance, with 100000, and twice the
area. So far the nations land sup
ply mas exceeded the demand, but the
demand now begins to surpass the
supply and as this country must a.
ways depend mostly upon itself for it's
food supplies the competition between
regions having been eliminated all lands
will be increasingly valuable.
HOLDING HER OWN.
Unusual efforts are being made by
SyndlcateS to attract settlement to the
Canadian Northwest, to the Southern
states, to Oklahoma and to California
but Northern Minnesota is getting a
full share of homeseekers. At no time
since the country was opened up by
the railway has there been a tide Of
immigration equal to that of the last
two years.
Thousands of homeseekers, attracted
by the advantages to be secured in
Northern Minnesota have commenced
clearing the cut over lands, and it will
not be very long before a section now
regarded as valuable only for it's tim
Der supply will undoubtedly become
prosperous agricultural and dairying
section of our good state
The work of securing purchasers for
the really low priced lands has not
been given special organizati ton, for the
reason that there is still free govern
ment land to be had. but this is remote
for present transportation facilities.
The opportunities for a man of ordi-
nary means to secure home have not
been widely advertised, nor have spe-
cial inducements been offered to set
tiers. There has been no booming or
advertising other than notice of the
fact that the industrious man desiring
an opportunity to purchase land at u
reasonable price could find it in that
large section of Minnesota known a
few years ago as the pinery.
The agricultural development of this
really large region north of the line
east and west between the head of
Lake Superior and the Red River val
ley passed beyond the experimental
stage a good while ago. Branch state
experimental stations are located at
Grand Rapids and at Crookston. OF
the Grookston region, which is a part
of the famous Red River valley, there
is no doubt, and there is no doubt of
the Itasca region. for the home
seeker has but to look over the farms
already made to see what can still be

done. The privations incident to max
ing home in the wilderness are not
nor have they been for many years
part of the experiences of the people
of this section.
That region is new only in a COM
parative sense. 1t has it's railways and
highways, its telegraphs and tele-
phones, its schools and churches and
its thrifty manufacturing and farming
towns. That land is cheap is due to
the fact that vast areas were in the
hands of the lumbermen and were not
subject to sale until after the timber
value had been removed. Now the
land is on the market awaiting the
coming of the farmer and stockman.
While it is true that it requires more
labor to make farm in timber sec
ton than upon a prairie, the farm
when made is found to be more adap-
table to general agriculture than one
in the prairie sections. And so in COM
pairing the advantages of Northern
Minnesotas timbered regions with
those offered by the prairie sections it
can be truthfully claimed and satisfac-
torily shown that the timbered regions
have many excellent advantages
worthy of consideration.

dian meaning sky-tinted water, being
synonymous of it's beauties, which have
SO often been sung by the poets. The
country combines all the advantages
OF forest and prairie, without any of
the features which are prejudicial to
farming and possesses pure water in
abundance, plenty of timber for fuel,
cheap lumber, brick and stone for
building purposes; excellent transpor-
tatlon service by rail and river and
lake; superior educational and relig-
iouS advantages.
NORTHWESTERN LAND VALUES.
The demand for Minnesota farm
lands, as we'll as for lands in other
northwestern states, and even across
the northern boundary line, and the
consequent high prices is a healthy
growth and not in any manner the re-
suit of pressure or what is generally
known as a BOOM and this healthy
growth will remain. Prices have risen
TO such an extent during the past
three years that many were inclined to
THINK they were unnaturally forced
and that they would eventually fall
back to the original figures. But Of
this there is not the slightest indica
ton, and those who have made up their
minds to purchase land anywhere all
most in the Northwest should make
their selections as soon as possible, as
there is no probability that land will
be lower, and every PROBABILITY that it
will increase in price.
This is the position maintained by
j. j. Hill, president of the Great North
ern railroad, and his judgment in such
matters is generally given much
weight. His theory is that as the pop
ulation of the United States increases
over 1000 daily andzconsequently over
100000 yearly, this country will have
150,000,000 people inside of the next
fifty years. In round numbers that
would be about twice equal to the
would be about equal to twice the
population today.8 These people must
be fed and clothed, and agriculture is
the means by which it must be done.
If millions more go to the cities, mil
lions must go to the farms. Good
land everywhere will be valuable. In
time there will not be such land COM
petition between different regions as
now. 1t is no argument against the
probable increases-of land values that
