To Whom it May Concern:

1t is with great pleasure l re-
commend Aaker's Business College
Fargo, which in my opinion is one
of the best schools in the north
west. The seven months I was
there, I consider the most prof.
table ones I ever spent. I had no
sooner completed my course, than
I was through, Prof. Aaker offered
a position with the N. P. r. Co. at
Fargo. This position I held for
three months, at the end of which
time I was offered a more re-
sponsible position at jamestown,
n. OAK, which I am still holding.
My advice to young men and
women 'attend the A. B. @. and
obtain good results"
Sincerely yours,

Among the RAILROAD extentions
most certain to be built this year
and one that will open up a rich
country and give the means of
transportation to a large number
Of settlers already otherwise pros
porous and contented, is that of
the Northern Pacific from Nc
Kenzie north into Mclean county.
The surveyors are now in the field,
revising the survey of last year and
it is likely that the line will run
almost in a direct line to Turtle
Lake, OF a point very near that
town on the Sykeston extention Of

Mckenzie northwestward almost
the. entire distance making it an

this extention will add more wealth
