cent for an amount up to forty dollars ner acre. The Aetna Life Insurance company is placing all 1t can on Iowa lands at five per cent, and is loanlhe up to as high as forty dollars per acre. The Northwestern Life Insurance com pany is doing likewise, also the Con necticut Mutual and other large, con servative investors. Under such condl- tions I do not see how people can at- ford to allow money to lie in savings banks or time deposits in other banks for four per cent.
 Let me give you a tip that the rail- roads are going to have one of the pest years hauling crops to market that they have had in years. The MilWau- kee the Soo, the Minneapolis and St Louis, the Burlington, the Northwest ern, the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific, in fact about all the roads ex- tending west of the Mississippi are en- gagged in rapidly extending their lines west, are continually opening up new country, and I understand that the Milwaukee and Northwestern are plan- ming to extend to the coast. A good new section being opened now is west ern North Dakota and northwestern South Dakota, and I believe that if g man buys land in there now he can double his money on it in five years The same is true of a fine strip o1 country in northern Idaho, between the Snake river and the Mountains l have reliable advices that the land there now in that part of Idaho is selling for about twenty-five dollars per acre and it will bring fifty dollars within five years A great many here are in- terested in Canadian land in Alberta and Saskatchewan, but I am afraid of it; the seasons are too short and be- lieve that the only way to make any thing there is to get in and get out on a profit while the boom lasts. I do not believe it is a solid, substantial move. ment warranted by the possibilities of the country.
 We'll, I have probably tired you ere this with my windy letter, but every word l have written is based upon ac- tual facts and we are so convinced oi the future of all this western country that we like to tell ourw friends of it. Sometimes when you feel that you can take a few weeks off, I would like tc have you come out here and will gc around with you. I would enjoy wis. it from you very much. The best time of the year to visit this country is from June to October.
 My wife and are going next week to Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Den yer for little trip of ten days or two weeks. You ought to see my little girl, nearly three years old and bright as dollar.
