Northern Minnesota is sometime go
Ing to be the most beautiful, the most
prosperous and is the most healthful
farming country in the United States.
Not only that, but the most happy one
because the surroundings are so pleas
ant, the gifts of nature so much more
bountiful, so much more beautifully
blended than in any other section OF
the Union. The Rocky mountain range
has its beautiful scenery, it's brooks
and rivers filled with fish, but it has
no farming lands. Arizona has land
that lies beautifully for farming pur-
poses, that is rich and would be pro-
ductive, but 1t has no rains to bring
forth the products; and so we might
enumerate many sections of the coun-
try that have some splendid advan-
tages, but which are absolutely lack
ing in many others. Hubbard county
has them all combined, blended as in
no other section of the Union. Farm
lands, timber lands, game, fish, good
markets. good soil, healthful climate.
With all these, wealth, health and hap
piness await the man who takes adj
vantage of what nature offers him.

prominent business firms of Park

ton of the county on the line of the
Park Rapids branch of the Great
Northern railroad, which gives it direct
daily communication with the Twin
Cities on the south, Duluth to the east
and Bemidji and Crookston to the
north and west. 1t is beautifully To-
Gated on the banks of Fishhook river
with forests of pine to the north and
beautiful second prairie to the south
and west. At present it has a popu-

growing. The town is lighted by cleo

any man who is able to handle an AK

plenty of wood TO burn for the cutting
OF 1t, and every settler has wood enough
on his place-or else has a wood lot
so that his fuel bill is all summed up
In labor. If he has much wood he can
sell 1t in the towns at prices that will
pay him for his work.
There is no section of Minnesota that
affords better advantages for diversf-
fed farming and stock raising than
Hubbard county. Particularly is it
adapted to sheep raising. There are
many natural meadows to provide hay
for them in winter. The land being
more or less wooded and rolling, will
afford greater protection than can be
had in many grazing districts in the
West and there is sufficient timber on
these lands to provide all the corrals
that will be necessary for the proper
care of sheep. The pasturage here for
sheep is abundant and of the finest
quality. There is no question about
raising sheep or caring for them in
Hubbard county.
Hubbard county is traversed by the
Great Northern railroad coming from
Sank Center north through Todd and
Wadena counties, entering Hubbard
county on its south boundary line and
passing through Park Rapids-the
county seat and principal trade center
then veering northeast and passing
through the thriving stations Of Dorset
and Nevis then reaching Akeley-an
important numbering town-and pass

way to Walker and Cass Lake. In

The present styles are practically
adapted to the needs Of older women,
for by slight notifications they may
be made suitable and becoming to
women of all ages and all manners Of
figure.
Such smart details as full lace I'M
dersleeves and neck and waist ruff1es,
and pelerine capes and stoles lend
themselves most charmingly to the
woman of advanced years.
Small hats and stringless toques are
being more and more used for ordinary
wear, but for dress occasions smart
little bofinets with strings are the cor
rect thing. These should match the
costume with which they are worn, and
are usually made of panne velvet or
spangled nets or chiffon and are
trimmed with feathers, lace or flowers.
Black, gray and lavender are the
colors most used by real old ladies,
Who have their gowns made extremely
plain with full skirts and simple bod
ices trimmed with fichus or capes.
Invariably the throat and wrists are
finished with ruffies Of finest lace. Very
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1904-02-09

soft velvets, satins and silks are the
most appropriate materials for such
gowns, and for trimming the capes on
the bodice or flounces at the foot of
the skirt silk and chenille fringes are
extensively used.
For younger women all the darker
colors as well as pale gray and white
are appropriate, and their gowns, both
for street and evening wear, are marked
by the richest materials and trimmings.
The gown illustrated is an excellent
model for a cloth or velvet costume.
1t is of gray satin faced cloth and is
made with gored skirt trimmed
around the bottom by rows Of velvet
polka dots of graduated sizes and of
darkest tones of gray. The coat is
tight fitting and has a wide girdle belt
of velvet and a deep shoulder cape, cut
with long ends in front, which is or
namented with two sizes of the gray
velvet polka dots. The front and
sleeves ruff1es are of cream colored
point de Venice lace and the bonnet is
of gray panne velvet with shaded os-
trich tips on the side.

Hubbard County Court House.

they reach this courtyard they are
coming on every train-to find wild
lands that can be obtained at prices
ranging from IS to SO an acre, while
improved farms adjacent to thriving
villages can be bought at from SIS to
$25 per acre. These wild lands can be
bought on easy payments, and only
need industry and persistence to con-
vert them into beautiful country
homes, where, under shelter of his own
grove and as a result of the crops
planted on his own acres and the herds
and f1ocks raised thereon, any man can
possess with the passing years an in
dependence and solid comfort which
will stamp him as one of the kings Of
the earth.
While all Northern Minnesota Is
teemfng with life and prosperity and
promise, it is in the park region that
the greatest possibilities, both for the
homeseeker and the investor exist-for
1t is here that vast stretches Of agri-
cultural lands still remain undisturbed,
only awaiting the Drawn and the brain,
the will and the muscle of the actual
settler, to make them give forth wealth
and comfort. These lands can be
bought at low figures, on easy terms.
Soil.
The soil of Hubbard county varies
from light productive loan to heavy
clay. In many places it is deep and
rich. 1t differs in different localities,
but its productiveness, whether mixed
with much or little of the clay is sim
ply a marvel to all who are acquainted
with 1T. Farms on which wheat has
been raised steadily for the past TWEEN
ty years on the Shell prairies, in the
southern part Of the county, have yield
ed twenty bushels to the acre and up
wards. Those who have known the
country longest are the ones who have
an abiding faith in Hubbard county
soil. It's peculiar location makes it par
ticularly adapted to this Northern eli
mate. The land in this region, as a
whole, Is fertile, quick soil. The sub
soil is of porous nature and loamy,
and the hard-pan found further south
is missing. Situated at this park re-
gion, of which Hubbard county is a
part, is upon a high table land upon
which are innumerable lakes and
streams, the soil is affected by the
moisture and Is thus enabled to stand
a surprisingly long period of summer
drought without any serious loss to
growing crops. Parties coming here
from the heavy clay soils in other sec
tons speak of this fact with gladness
and relief.
Abundance of Timber.
There IS over a large portion Of the
country a good deal of timber, and al
though the market price rules high in
these days of good prices and good
wages, yet on many quarter sections Of

A CLASH AND ITS RESULT.
"E FEEL like spending the rest Of
SO my days in that monastery up
E there" said Lorry after dinner
that evening. They were stroll
ing about the town. One was deter
mined to leave the city, the other firm
in his resolve to stay. The latter won
the day when he shrewdly if explosive
ly reminded the former that it was
their duty as men to stay and protect
the princess from the Vaccinations Of
Gabriel, that hnave of purgatory. Lor-
~, at last recognizing the hopelessness
of his suit, was ready to throw down
his arms and abandon the field to supe-
rior odds. His presumption in aspiring
for the hand of a princess began to
touch his sense of humOr, and he
laughed, not very merriiy. it is true, but
long and loudly, at his folly. At first
he cursed the world and every one in
it, giving up in despair, but later he
cursed only himself. Yet as he de-
SPARED and scoffed he felt within him
self an ever present hope that luck
might turn the tide of battle.
This puny ray grew perceptibly when
Anguish brought him to feel that she
needed his protection from the man
who had once sought to despen ard
who might reasonably be expected to
persevere. He agreed to linger in Edel-
weiss. knowing that each day would
| add pain to the torture he was already
| suffering, his sole object being, he con-
| WINGED himself, to Illustrate GabrlePs

Returning laJe in the evening from

+, brated in Edelweiss. In all his life

that makes death welcome.
The cafe was crowded with men and
women. In a far corner sat party OF
