will find ready purchasers at $25
per acre. That has been the expe-
rience of other countries whose pro-
ductiveness and natural advantages
cannot be compared with ours, and
that will be the conditions here be-
fore the passing of many years.
The free homestead privilege will
not be fully appreciated until the
privilege becomes thing Of the
past. The coming generation will
experience these conditions, and
our children, when they come to
cast their lots for homes, will look
back :longingly for the good old
days of their fathers and forefath-
ers, when 100 acres Of land was at
the disposal of every citizen and
of the head Of every family-that
could be had for. the mere taking.
These are privileges that we cam
not fully appreciate, but to men
who have no homes for themselves
and families, and whose means will
not permit Of their buying land
even at the reasonable prices at
which it can be obtained here at
this time, here is offered the oppor-
tunity of their life time. They can
come here and secure a good l6O
acre tract which will produce a
living for themselves and ther fam
lilies and make them a good, COM
Portable home. If an opportunity
of this kind is good enough for
you, and you are willing to work,
and you are moderate in your de-
mands, you should not hesitate
about making move or a selec-
ton. It is here for you, but it will
not permit Of delay, for it is here
at the disposal Of all, and the first
applicant gets his government en-
dowment of 100 acres of free land
and what would be your selection
tomorrow, might have been the Sc
lecticE Of some other citizen to-
day. If you want what might be
termed your share of this free
homestead land that is still open
for settlement in Mclean county
you will have to act and act quickly
for it is going at the rate of thous-
an9s of acres every day. There is
yet chance for you. Embraced
in the Minot, Devils Lake and Bis
marck land districts there are still
765,3S0 acres Of vacant government
land in Mclean county. This will
make 4,l5S 16O-acre-tracts, but at
the rate that this has been appro-
priated during the past year, in
three more years there will be none
of this left. The following table
shows the government land area in
each county in the Bismarck Land
District, the amount of appropri-
ated land and the number of acres
still subject to homestead entry

GOVERNMENT LAND.

The acres of government domain
is passing to the individual citizen
at a rate that is appalling. Not a
day passes but what the public do
main is drawn upon for several
thousand acres. At the rate that
homesteads were filed IN Mclean
county from July 1st, 1902, up to
June Both, 1903, in three more
years there will not be a 160 acre
tract subject to homestead entry.

Office at Bismarck, ND. Itspeaks
for itself, and it shows that some
thing is doing and is going to be
done in this country. During the
past year Mclean county has been

and there were LAOS homestead
filings in the Bismarck Land Dis

Ile purpose Ol tHlS al 1UAo1o any
this issue of the LEADER is not to
"boom" the country or to make
statements that cannot be substan-
tiated. We have few ungarnered
facts to lay before our readers con-
cerning, the progress made in the
settlement of Mclean county. Our
efforts are not prompted by hopes OF
personal gains, nor are they guided
or supported by real estate men
or specularors who would profit by
the exaggeration Of truths concern
ing the miraculous productiveness
of our soil, the wonderful curative
powers our climate, the. unprece-
dented rise in values of land and
the eagerness with which every
thing in the nature Of real estate
was being gobbled up by the ever
ready and waiting investor. You
can put it down as an undisputed
fact that our statements in every
respect regarding Mclean county,
it's settlement, its progress, it's de-
velopment and it's general worth
as an agricultural, stock raising and
mining locality is all that we claim
for it, if not more. The truth serves
our purpose better than would a
lie; moderate, truthful statement
is in our mind more effective and
productive Of good results than
would be an exaggerated, implaus-
/ ible claim. We are not interested
in deceiving people and we shall
so guard our statements that no
man can truthfully say that we
have misled him.
A NEW ERA
A new era is dawning-an era of
progress and development such as
no other new undeveloped country
has experienced for many years.
Here is centering the youth, brain
and muscle from Minnesota, Iowa,
and other eastern states, and the
opportunities here afforded COM
pared with those held out by their
home states have acted as an in
ceptive and are squirting this young
generation on to greater endeavors.
On the farm as we'll as in bust
ness pursuits they go at it with a
push and energy that eventually
must bring success and bring them
to the desired goal. With these
peoples, the future of this country
rests and who can but doubt judg-
ing from the pace they are setting
but what a complete transformation
will take place where in 1900 there
were but bleek, endless prairies,

DEATH OFF. HAMPTON HOGE

This distinguished and we'll
known Republican, died at noon
Saturday after weeks illness
from pneumonia, ut his home in
Roanoke, Va.
Colonel Hoge was one Of the
best known men in the State. In
his younger days he was Demo-
crat, and his voice was heard on
the hustings in every campaign.
He held a number of important
offices at the hands of the party.
He was named a minister to Annoy,
China, by President Cleveland dur
ing his second term, but for reas-
ons much discussed in his last
campaign, was recalled before he
reached San Francisco.
He then became identified with
the Republican party and opposed
Governor Montague two years ago.
He was a brilliant man, an excep-
tiOnally fine orator, quick at rep
artee, and a lawyer of recognized
ability. Colonel Hoge was poss-
essed of unusual magnetism, and
had hundreds of friends who adj
mired him despite his err attic
political career.

WELL SPENT LIFE ENDED.

DIR. j. l.. NJ. Curry, former
minister to Spain, and one of the
most prominent educators in the
South, died in Asheville, N. c., at
midnight Thursday of Bright's
disease, at the residence of his
brOther-in-law, Colonel COnnely.
DR. Curry had been critically i'll
for the past two weeks. Mrs. Curry
arrived from Philadelphia last
week, ard was at the bedside of
her husband when his death oc-
Cured. His remains were inferred
in Hollywood cemetery, Richmond,
on Sunday.
In the death of DR.. Curry there
is lost 10 the South and to the
nation one of it's most representa-
tive and distinguished men.
Throughout the land he was known
and esteemed; in Virginia and the
South, whom he had served so
faithfully, his name was, and is
still, Il household word, which will
endure though its bearer is now no
more.
The life of DR.. Curry is an
epitome of public history during
many past years, to whom it
fell, through long and brilliant
career, to serve not only his native
section, but the nation AT large.
For the past forty years he had
been constantly in the public eye
and the record of his acts shows
to what extent he devoted his
great talents to the public veal.
One of the last things he did-a
ching which, in the opinion of
many, operated to hasten that
gradual breakdown in health
which had during the past months
been more and more noticeable
was to represent his country at the
coronation Of European king.
Beginning in the early years of
the last century, the life of DR..
Curry is intertwined with Ameri-
can history to the present day.
AT the early age of twenty-one
years he was figuring in tie
Mexican War, and little later he
entered politics as State legislator
and then politician. From then
until few weeks before his death |
he was ceaselessly, untiringly at
work. AS Confederate, as edu-
Gator, as clergyman, as author, as
minister for the government
abroad, he appeared in the same
light-alwsys capable and earnest.
Much he did to place in her true
position in history his native land,
and for this more than for any
thin g else, perhaps, this native
land of his looked up to him in
reverence.
