added to these advantages we have one

I'd! In enumerating the advantages Of
the cut-over country, it must not be
supposed that IMAM can BUY lndls-
criminately any piece of land in north
eastern Minnesota and be safe in the
investment. There are many lands in
he,@northern and southern part of this
district that are both too sandy and
too difficult to clear to make them prac-
tical for farming purposes. At the
same time, a bout midway in this strip,
and I take for example the county OF
Kanabec, there are very choice. pieces
of clay loan lands that were originally
covered with hardwood timber and
these lands make the desirable farms
Where a mixed growth Of hard wood,
such as maple, ash, oak, Eastwood and
the like have been or are found growing
it may be taken as a general rule that
the land will be found to be especially
good. These tracts are both the best
land and the easiest to clear up and
make into farms. To buy land where
there is an excess of pine, especially
Norway or jackpine, would be a pre-
carious venture. But using judgment
as to location and the character Of the
soil, there is without doubt hardly 9
better or a safer proposition in LAND
today than a good piece. of land in the
cut-over country: There is an excellent
in a country with such manifest advan
tages as to soil, fine markets and loca
ton and cheap living. And these are
the chief points to consider in making
a choice of farm lands today.

The growth and development Of the
northwestern states during the past gen
Grafton has been the marvel of the CIV
ilized world Great cities have been
built, and an empire of land has be-
come occupied by the most prosperous
people of the country. Within the past
few years, however, this settlement OF
the northwest has forced it's way over
the border into that vast and fertile
domain known as the Canadian north
west, and that region is now by far
the most rapidly developing district on
the American continent.
The specific feature of value in the
quick upbuilding of a commercial cen
ter for a newly developed country like
the Canadian l. thwest is cheap motive
power for indu rial pursuits. In this
regard it is now conceded that the en-
tire upper Mississippi river valley and
the entire northwest, both of the United
States and Canada, possess in Koochl-
ching Falls the most valuable founda-
ton for such power that exists upon
the continent, save alone Niagara.
This absolutely unequaled water
power is situated at the town of Fort
Frances, upon the Rainy river (at the
outlet of Rainy lake) which is the
boundary line between Minnesota and
Canada. The following facts, stated
briefly as possible, cannot fail to in
terest every reader:
Keochiching Falls will develop more
than 10000 electric horsepower.
Work upon the development Of that
power began March l, of the present
year.
That work must be completed on or
before Dec. 81, 1906.
Work and improvements are now I'M

expenditure of at. least $lO,0OO,0Ot

location, soil, etc Roberts county is the
northeastern county of South Dakota
and is one of the best as we'll as one
of the largest in that new and progress
sive state. The county is traversed by
numerous small streams of pure water
and is specially adapted to mixed farm
ing, stock raising and dairy industry.
In this county was located the greater
portion Of the well-known Sisseton In
dian reservation, which was opened to
white settlement in 1892, and which
has been so rapidly improved by the
erection of new farm buildings, schools
and churches that it presents the APP
pearance of an old-settled country. The
Indians of this reservation were given
100 acres Of land each before the open
ing, but under a recent law passed by
congress the holdings of the deceased
Indians may now be sold by the surviv-
ing heirs, so that there are many o.
portunities to secure good farms in this
way.
