Lisbon, N. D., Oct. 26.-Your CORE
spondent has been reading. the daily
papers Of late and noting with interest
the indications all over the country Of
renewed or returned prosperity, espe-
cially along the line of conservative
business, and this renewed interest in
matters Of business has been much ex-
perienced by him the past week in his
travels thru Ransom county, North Da-
kota, in seeing the great number Of in
telliigent farmers from Iowa, Illinois,
are there buying lands, and, conversing
with them, I find that they all have
about the same idea concerning the fu-
ture They seem to say that the acre
age of arabic lands is just so much
and cannot be increased, while the popu-
lation of our country is growing at a
very conservative estimate at least a
million a year. These people have got
to be fed. Certain portions of them
are farmers and they have got to have
lands.
: There is no possible reason for gain
saying the prediction that when lands in
the middle west are selling at 800 and
more an acre, lands in Ransom county,
North Dakota, which produce the same
crops and as good yields and grades,
have just as good value, the supply
and demand, the railroad facilities and
all other conditions take care of dis
lance, and while Ransom county lands
are only selling for ,$25 and $50 an acre,
there. certainly, is an excellent and good
margin for further increased prices, and
that this increase in price is sure to
come is not matter of sentiment or
local conditions, but of general condi-
tions all over the country.

cause it occupies one=twelfth the area
OF the state Excellent water can be
found any place in the county at a
depth of from twelve to fifteen feet,
and fuel abounds in every section in
the county. Ignite coal, of which
there is an abundance, is tributary to
Minot and is shipped extensively thru
the state, and there are few farmers
or ranchers who are not located close

supply very cheap at the mines, and
many of the farmers dig it out Of the
ground and haul it to their homes
The eastern half of the county is
generally level, while the western half
IS much more rugged and more suitable
for diversified or mixed farming and
ranching, altho there are many fine
farms and an abundance of farming
lands in the western part.
Ward county is the largest county in
North Dakota, and is larger in area
than Rhode Island, Delaware and the
District Of Columbia combined, and con.
