SOME FACTS FOR THE HOMESEEKER
Strong Article by the Hon. w. C. Gbreat North Dakotas
Commissioner Of Agriculture.

Every homestead taken increases the
value of adjacent lands, and the con
slant filing upon government land will
eventually raise the price of private
lands to a good round, stiff figure. De
lays are dangerous, as the men who
contemplate buying low-priced land
will realize unless they make their
purchases very soon.
The population of North Dakota in
1890 was 1919; in 1900 it was 319,.
Jag, while in 1905 it went up to 440,.
900. This is an increase of nearly
121, 900, or approximately $4,000 an.
nually. The same proportionate ratio
of increase for the next ten years
will give this state nearly million
of people, especially will this be true
if the present rate of immigration
can be maintained for the next few
years. From present indications, a
conservative estimate of the new ar.
rivals in this state, from now until
Dec. 81, 1906, will reach $4,000 peo-
pie. An increased population usually
gives greater proportionate increase
to the valuation of lands, and it is a
safe prediction to make that real es-
tatfe will far more than double itself
in the next ten years. Assuming, of
course, that the farmers will keep
pace with the age and improve its
producing qualities, by drainage and
other important adjuncts.
The important point to be noted by
the probable purchaser is the fact that
North Dakota is no longer to be con-
sidered an unknown quantity. 1t has
been successfully proven tht the net
profits per acre will equal and in
some localities exceed the best re-
suits obtained in other states where
the price of land is held at many
times the value. The incoming farm
er has only to follow the ways, means
and methods adopted by those who
have cultivated the soil, and success
is certain; but the best feature is that
the great majority do not know OF
these facts, and hence North Dakota
is still the homeseekers' state to-
day.
North Dakota offers more and bet

NORTH DAKOTA PRISON OV[RCROWD[DI /.
There Have Been Many Prisoners This Year as in the -Four
Preceding All Available Boom Is in Use

What to do with our criminals Is a
question which promises to become
serious soon. The rapid growth of
crime with the corresponding rapid
growth of the state has resulted in
the taxing of the capacity of the state
penitentiary at Bismarck, and should
there be many convictions and subse-
quent sentencing of defendants to
long terms at the forthcoming session
of the district courts throughout the
state, the condition of affairs would
be most serious.
Already overflow meetings" are
the rule at the state pen. A room
originally intended as chapel is now
being used as quarters for about forty
prisoners and where any more men in
stripes could be accommodated until
after the hospital building is COM
pleted is problem which even War
den Boucher with all of his resource.
lnlness has not been able to solve.
The North Dakota penitentiary at
Bismarck Is paying concern for the
/ state in actual dollars. The receipts
from the Irvine plant more than pay
the cost of operating the punishment
factory, to say nothing of the worth
OF the institution of the state as
home for undesirable characters.
AS an indication of the growth of
the population within the walls of the
pen, it is stated that the number of
prisoners received there during the
past year was nearly as great as the
number received during the entire
four years preceding.
The work on the new hospital build
ing is progressing rapidly, and in the
basement of this building will he pro.
vided cells which will provide tempo
rary relief from the great rush to
Warden Boucher's popular resort.
The new building is being construct
ed entirely of convict labor and it
is interesting to note the interest the
convicts appear to take in the work
on the new structure. Even John
Young, the troublesome John who
once threatened to escape from the
same institution and come to Fargo
for the purpose of not only burning
the town, but also depriving the place
of several legal lights, is contentedly
engaged each day in escorting bricks
from the ground to the, upper works.
The appropriation for the new
building by the last legislature was
$4,000, and it is safe to say that
there never was similar sum of
money as profitably expended.

Recently experiments have beer
made at the penitentiary in the man.
ufacture of cement brick, and with
great success. The new brick is said
to be far superior to the old burnt
brick and, because the convicts may
engage in the manufacture Of the
product in the penitentiary yard in.
stead of going out to the brick kilns
present, the new venture may be en-.
gagged in extensively hereafter, espe.
cially If the new bricks are found as
excellent as the first manufactured In.
dictate.
The farming operations Of the con
victs this year have been most sue
cessful. Great crops have been Sc
cured from the penitentiary leased
lands and the health of the convicts
has been benefited no little by the out
of door exercise necessary in the car
rying on of the farming operations.
Warden Boucher heartily agrees
with the eminent authority on prisons
and convicts, Judge Simon E. Baldwin
of Yale, who recently said:
Outdoor, not indoor, labor Is what
our convicts need, said Judge Bald
win. "They should farm such lands
as lie now unused and worthless.
Thus their mental and physical health
would improve, while no harm would
be done to any branch of labor.
again" he continued, "convicts
should be treated kindly, not harshly.
They should command certain re-
spect. Nothing arouses the evil spirit
in us, whether we be convicts or cler'
gymen, like contempt and insolence.
"a plumber the other day lost a
81 900 steam heating contract because
a piece of insolence enraged him SO.

Your readers have been told of the
many excellent advantages, both CON-
mercial ane Industrial, which North
Dakota possesses. They have been
furnished statistics showing it's mar
velous growth and wonderful devel-
opment during the past decade. They
have been presented with experiences
of the tillers of the soil, the stock
raisers, the business men and the in
vestors.. They have been given the
statement of farmers of the amount
of grain they have raised to the acre,
the average yield and such other
items that would be of interest to the
prospective purchaser. If these facts,
figures and experiences fail to con-
hvince they should, at least, persuade
the skeptical or unbelievers to make
thorough and exhaustive investiga-
ton of the soil, climate, resources and
opportunities which this state has,
and if not entirely satisfied, abandon
all intention of ever settling in North
Dakota.
Many of your readers will remem-
Der the time when they could have
bought the cheapest lands in Indiana,
Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Mime
sofa at from $40 to $25 an acre. They
also recall the fact that they were
told that the climate was too rigid,
the seasons too short and the land too
poor to produce reasonable crops.
Many believed it and did not, to their
great sorrow, invest. Climatic con-
ditions changed as the country set
tied, and the assertion that profitable
crops were an impossibility was prov
en- to be falsehood, pure and sim
ple. These choice lands to-day are
selling from SIS to 5000 an acre and
the end is not yet.
In the light of these indisputable
facts, and in the face of the history
of the gradual rise of real estate in
the East, it is astonishing that men
who want to buy land will hesitate,
when they are convinced that the day
of cheap lands on the North Ameri-
can continent will be shortly a thing
Of the past.
During the past year there has been
an unlimited amount of government
land from which to select home. 1t
had only a nominal purchasing price
and many used it without going thru
the necessary legal channels to obtain
r. But. these lands are almost all
gone, only few million acres remain,
and when they are taken will come
scramble for private lands. 1t is as
tonishing the number of acres that
have disappeared from government to
nrivate ownership in the past year.
