ANOTHER BATCH OF LAND.
Will be Thrown Open to Settlement on
October 10Th

Three finely surveyed townships in st.
Louis county, Mimi, comprising $4,000
acres of some of the choicest agricultural
land in the United States, will be thrown
open to settlement at the Duluth Uni
ted States land office next month accord
ing to instructions received at that of
flee.
The townships are 62-l9, 60 20 and e.
2l. The first will be opened to settle
ment on Oct. Is, the second on Oct. 10,
and the third on Oct 20.
The three townships adjoin extending
directly west from Ashiwa, the present.
terminus of the Duluth, Virginia &
Rainy Lake railroad about 25 miles
north of Virginia, forming plot meas
uring Is miles long by six miles wide,
each township being six miles square
The district affected is known to be
nearly all splendid farming country,
equal, it is claimed to any on the con-
tinent.
Drainage is about as nearly perfect
as it can be, with all other farming con-
ditions ideal
OF course some of the land is swamp,
reverting to the state, but this will be
only a fraction of the original amount.
The land will be valued almost entire
! ly for it's agricultural worth, for the
timber on it is said to amount to little,
there being very little pine, and the 9th
er varieties, spruce, poplar, birch, maple,
ETC., not being plentiful enough to at
tract men who file on government claims
merely IS a timber speculation.
The soil is of the richest, the kind that
is eagerly sought by the experienced
farmer. 1t is expected that the rush
at the opening of the land will be one
of the greatest, if not the greatest on
record at the local land office.
The claims are, as matter of fact,
as valuable as those in the Dakota In
dian reservation, and will attract land
seekers from all parts of the United
States.
A great many of the claims are al
ready occupied by squatters who will
have prior right to the land. The coun-
try through the district to be opened up
is dotted with the cabins of settlers, and
many are already farming on quite a
large scale for such new country.
They have comfortable houses and
barns, with stock and everything going
to make up modern farm.
The first applicant after the opening
of the land is granted the right to make
entry on any desired claim, but the act
ua settler has the right, with his prior
claim, to ninety days in which to make
his entry, and if he can prove to the sat
isfaction of the government officials that
he is the actual settler he claims to be,
he can get the intervening entry Cancelled
and his own placed on record.
Another good feature about the land
is that there is no stone on it. With no
stone, and little timber, there will be
few stone and timber entries. The big
majority of the claims will be entered
under the homestead laws.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 24.-The last

for next crop. 1t is safe to count or
a better yield of crops this year than is
generally estimated by newspaper re-
ports and those holding grain should, be
on the lookout for fall in prices. But
would not advise selling for speculative
purposes. Prices are high enough and it
may not be good policy to hold actual
grain for higher prices.
Some have misunderstood the phrases
"west of Rockies" and "great central
valleys" | use the former to designate
all the country between the Pacific
coast and top of Rockies and the latter
all the country from the Gulf of Next
co to the eXreme north, lying between
the general lines of the tops of the
Rockies and Alleghanies extended north
and south. Meridian 90 is general line
of the Mississippi extended far north
ward. Eastern states included all east
of the Alleghanies. Weather features
move eastward across each of these sub
divisions and not westward across any
of them.
General forecasts of October weather
in next bulletin, particularly dates of
great storms and high and low tenn
perature waves.
My critics found a long looked for OPP
portunity in my error for August ii
and made good use of it but they will
not mention my many successes.
