lands than has yet taken place
during any one year.
Mr.. Iverson says there are
several reasons for this belief:
"In the first place, Minnesota
state lands are today better ad-
vertlsed than ever before. Sec-
ondly, the wild rush for Canadian
northwest lands is over, and
settlers are beginning to put on
their thinking hats before going
in search of new homes. And
it does not require very much
consideration to drive into their
heads the knowledge that Min
nesota lands are much farther
south than the wild acres of
Canada; are as whole nearer to
railroads; are of rich soil and
abundantly supplied with both
timber and running water"
The prospective settler is in
vited to take a careful investiga-
tion of northern Minnesota con-
ditions; to examine the soil; to
study the settlers already on the
ground and hear their stories: to
investigate the natural resources
offered, and then compare these
things with offerings for new
homes to be found anywhere
else.
Through June and July, State
Auditor S. G.. Iverson will hold a
series of sales of state lands to
be had by the highest bidders.
This means an opportunity for
settlers to purchase wood lands
cheap; to establish good homes
within easy reach OF market
centers. The sales are to be held
as follows:
