drus is a Grand Army man. a member

thousands of Civil war veterans, at
tended the national encampment this
year. Mr.. Andrus was reared in Cook
county, ILL.,, and remembers when Uncle
Sam had free government land within
IS miles of the present site of Chicago.
He went to Colorado in 1867 and could
at that time have homesteaded 100 acres
of land within mile OF Denver, but the
land was dry and barren, covered with
cactus, and he did no think it worth
taking. Mr.. Andrus was not surprised
at the great development which had
taken place in western North Dakota in
the past few years. He said it was but
the history of all new states and his OBJ
servations in the western country has
taught him that cultivation of the land
greatly increases the moisture.
