Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-02-09
This is a Straight Tip!

On January 3lst, the Northern
Pacific Railroad surveyors were about
twenty miles southeast of Mott, Het-
finger county, North Dakota, en-
deavoring to locate a permanent sur
vey up the north fork of the Cannon
Ball river, and had sent word ahead
that they desired accommodations for
twenty one men at the Mott Hotel
for the next two or three nights.
Do you still want to get a choice
near this new town, and profit by the
big advance in land that is bound to
come soon? If you do, you will have
to hurry, and not put it Oft any longer
or YOU will be too late, and the big
profits will not be yours.
Come and see me at my office lr
Canton, and let me tell you NOR
about it. Very Truly Yours,
j.. B. SlossOn.
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1906-02-09
Don't DELAY.

There are several reasons why those
who are planning to make that trip
to North Dakota to get some OF that
cheap land, should not wait much
longer, but should take advantage Of
this mid and open winter and go
soon.
J. B. Slosson, the VIM. II. Brown
Cos Representative, has been taking
men to North Dakota all winter and
has had well pleased customers as
the result of each trip.
Every week there are from six to
fifteen parties of Land-Seekers reach
ing the Company's offices in Mandan
and Richardton, North Dakota, and
the choices are going very fast, and
those who expect to get a free Home
stead adjoining their lands, must not
delay or they will be disappointed, for
at the rate they are going, it is only
a question of a short time until the
desirable quarters are taken. =
Land prices are advancing in that
section. and Morton and Hettinger
counties are filling up with a good
class of farmers who are producing
from so. to 1926. an acre from their
land. The prices still range from 80.
to $3.50 an acre for farming lands
but they cannot remain at those
figures long.
Mr.. Slosson has located over 40 peo-
pie during the past two months and
they are still going, and compared
with the vast territory which is
covered by the VIM. H.. Brown Co.,
the emigration from this section is
simply as a drop in Il bucket"
Gilbert Satrang and s. o. Skart-
vedt have just returned from Hettin-
ger county and they report crowds
still coming fast and that there is a
great degree OF satisfaction among
the settlers there, and that a large
force of N. p. Ry. surveyors are now
only IA few miles from Mott, and
headed right for that town and a new
road is to be started sometime this
year. ...
They are glad that they struck out
when they did for they have excellent
locations nea Mott, and las good
land as lays out of DOORS In talk
ing with the scores of other Canton
ties who have located there within
the past year and a half, they all
bear the same story that they are
well satisfied and that a great future
is before them and that the same
feeling prevails among the 250O people
who have bought land in Morton and
Hettinger counties, North Dakota,
during the past two years and a half.
Mr.. Slosson says that he receives
kilograms from Mandan, N. d., every
few days and that the weather has
been the same, practically, as here.
Better go in and see him at his
office, and let him show you his set Of
over 100 photographs of that country,
and some samples Of the grain the
farmers raised up there last year, for
it looks mighty nice.

Warren Noble himself is a genuine
favorite. When the Mobiles bill a
town the people know that they are
going to get something first class,
something new, something original
and modern in stage effect. They
know that whatever Warren Noble
puts on the boards will be clean and
morally uplifting. His company is
always composed of artists. This year
he has the old favOrites, O. Fl. and
Gussie tombstone, and the john
stones are as popular as Warren
Noble himself. O. H. tombstone is
the business manager and he's a good
one--knowS everybody and everybody
likes him. AS Gee Whitaker Hay"

top of the ladder. He keeps the
whole house listening for 81 when he

Canton favorite and was greeted with
a round of applause when she made
her appearance Monday night. AS

DECLINES TO TALK POLITICS

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-Mr. Bryan
went aboard the Illini at anchor off
Stapleton. He is outstanding his
strength for the two hour speech to-
night.
He feels fine today and says he Is
glad of a chance to rest aboard the
yacht. He is silent in politics. He ex-
pressed his thanks to President Roose-
welt for the efforts to facilitate the
landing.
Aboard Nixons steam houseboat,
LOuden, the newspaper men cornered
Bryan who talked for over an hour.
Bryan refused to discuss persons
or politics." and said he is keeping
out of the state fights. He will attend
to the Sullivan question later.
Bryan refused to- discuss the tariff
because the subject was "too big for
a few words" When asked about
Cannons boom he said: Cannon is
both person and politics, excuse me-"
He had not heard Of the Cuban in
srrrection until today ,stsc Expressed
confidence in President Palma.
Can't Read It.
Tom Johnson, fearing Bryan would
read his speech tonight, told him to-
day: 1--WE don't want any reading to-
night. We want the same old Bryan Of
old" Mrs. Bryan said: "He will not
read if 1 can help it and 1 think can."
Mr.. Bryan refuses to state the sub
ject Of his speech tonight. Presum-
ably he will follow the lines of his in
terview in Europe in which he said
free silver is no longer an issue on
account of overproduction. He will
discuss government ownership, and
legislation will probably be the par
issue with a demand for tariff
as the only means of solv-
ing the trust problem.
William is Nervous.
The crowds at the Battery to see
Bryan land far exceeded expectations.
Gov. Folk heading the reception COM
mittee met the voyager at the pier.
The members of the national commit
tee met in carriages and fell into the
at the wharf.
Bryan was slightly indisposed from
of which he complained to
hastily to the Victoria hotel where
IN effort was made to restore good
feelings.
