Special to The Journal. l.
eEveleth Mimi, Aug. 25.-Citizens on
the ranges are planning to take up claims
in agricultural land which will be thrown
open for settlement on Oct. Is and 49,.
The land is in towns 6219, 62-20 and
62-21 and extends from AshaWa to the
Itasca county line. Ashawa is at present
the terminus of the Duluth, Virginia &
Rainy Lake road. The drainage in this
tract is fine. The rivers in the locality are
the Little Fork, Sturgeon Bear and Rice.
Numerous squatters have already
erected shacks on the same land. Tile
first come, first served" system will be
followed~ A large DELEGATE of Finland
ers VIII file from here. The claims are as
valuable as those recently opened on the
Rosebud and nearly as great an influx, is
expected. A good feature Is the absence
of stone.
Homesteads along the Miller trunk road
from Duluth are all in flourishing con-
dition. The hay crop in this region is
heavy as. well as the potato and other
root crops. In the region of Moose lake,
near Eveleth, the land has about all been
filed upon and substantial houses built.
Thus the whole of st. Louis county, which
is currently supposed to be worth nothing
for agriculture, is being rapidly populated.

East to the West that made it known

man, the monest intended home seek

and the middle West, who found
themselves unable to purchase lands
at one hundred to one hundred and
fifty dollars an acre and pay for them
out of the products of the soil. Also
the renter in these old states who had
for years been renting land and pay
ing four to eight dollars rent with
never an expectation or a possibility
of owning an acre Of their own.
To these honest workers and in
telligent farmers, these three or four
citizens of Ransom County made
known their country and have ma de
its acreage. worth from twenty to for
ty dollars an acre. They have made
it worth this, not by forcing the price,,
but by bringing in the good farmers,
who are cultivating and improving the
land and by experience have demon
strated the possibility of Ransom
County's soil to raise all that is raised
in Central Illinois and Indiana, clover,
timothy, corn and all the small fruits.

Lisbon, N. D., Aug. 26th, 1904
Especial Correspondence.)- There is
a great deal of talk now days about
rust in the North Dakota wheat, but
7 am finding that this scare is hard
ly applicable to Ransom County's
Crop. .e---e,..-ss
Ransom County was one of the
early counties in the country to recog
nize the adaptability and profitable
ness of growing macaroni wheat. In
driving over and through Ransom
County the past week L was astonished
to note the extent to which this wheat
is being grown, and consequently un-
der the present rust scare how little
affected is the crop of Ransom County
going to be.
I am not sufficiently in knowledge
with this wheat to know why it seems
to be immune from SO many Of the
blights and troubles that affect the
fife wheat, but such is the case.
In talking with one of the repre-
sentative land men at Lisbon, he told
me that he thought possibly twenty
five per cent of Ransom County's
acreage was in fife wheat and that this
wheat was affected at a large average
about fifty per cent. If this is the case
Ransom County will again have one
of the Banner Crops of wheat Of
North Dakota, and prices promises
now to be exceedingly good, so the
prosperity still is in the wake of this
county. This is especially desirable
under any circumstances, but more
particularly on account of the largeiln-
migration into the county in the past
four or five years of the Illinois, Iowa,
Indiana, Wisconsin and Minnesota
farmers, who are establishing for
themselves permanent homes and
erecting good buildings.
In talking with one of the farmers
of Ransom County, and one of the
merchants at Lisbon, 1 asked them
why they thought this county had re-
ceived such an impetus and such a de-
srable class of people. Both of them
unhesitatingly said, it was through
the efforts of two or three live, active
reliable, old established real estate
men in the county. Men, who had SO
much interest behind them that they
could not afford to make any state
ments which could not be fully substan-
tiated, and men who had that conf
dence in their country and it's future
to make known to the country the
wonderful resources, the great fertil.
ity and the excellent advantages
These men worked at great odds fol
several years, and in the early par
of their career they were laughed a.
by some who thought themselves
wiser. But through persistency, I'M
failing confidence and a heart born o.
true steel and a loyalty to theil
adopted homes, these few men con
tnued in the use of judicious adyer
