nit has long been tired Of single blessed
ness. and that he goes to the Hawkeye
State armed with lariat and wolf
trap. resolved to round up side-partner
or perish in the attempt.
But that is neither here nor there, and
has no bearing on what we started in to
say. What we want to tell our readers

faith in the final value Of acre property

Mr.. Brummel came to Emmons county
about 1886, as near as we can remember.
He resided here until about 1898, when,
hearing 50 much in regard to the Pacific
Coast states. he went to Washington.
But he soon saw that he had made a
mistake, and at the end of about six
months he came back. He buclkled into
work. and. as Consequence, thrived.
When he got back from the land Of the
setting sun he had about 500 and con-
siderable experience.
Well, to cut a long story short, Mr..
Brummel sized up his financial condi-
ton. the other day. and this is the way
il looked:
He owns about 800 acres of good land.
There is house on it that cost about
5000.
A barn costing about $500,
A frame granary into the building of
which went about $500 Of Cerrit'. coin.
A windmill and tank costing about
500.
And other Improvements to match.
As well as about two hundred acres of
breaking.
And all his land fenced, there being
four separately fenced sheep pastures.
Last year he had 70 acres Of wheat.
yielding about I 800 bushels; 40 acres
speltz and barley. about 200 bushels;
~ acres Of com. which was cut and fed
in the stalk; and other stuff. as well as
garden truck, poultry. ETC.. usually
raised on farm.
He has about 500 acres of land, be-
sides his building. personal property.
ETC.. and finds that. after paying all his
debts. he has about $1,000 in cash.
He has rented 100 acres Of his farm to
John Heyerman at a rental Of 5000 pc,
year. and a quarter-section to Jos. crose
at 500 year. He can live very nicely
off Of this income while he is in Iowa
after boss for his farm and household,
and while making the hunt can buy
candy and ice cream by wholesale.
