James McCanna. one Of Towner
counties prosperous and bonanza far
mers, spent Tuesday and Wednesday
in Willow attending to business. We
ARE glad to learn from him that the
crops in Iowner county are Of the
bets. Mr.. McCanna has $4,000 acres
of land in western Rolette county that
he says today are wroth $25. 90 per
acre but that at the time he bought
this land it was only worth on an
average about So. 90. This shows how
lands have appreciated in these west

also that western Dakota dirt is the
very best ever.
