Last fall U. G. Willis.

Last fall L. G. Willis. who
homsteaded 160 acres in the
southeastern part part of the
county and returned to Iowa and
rented farm, is coming back. 3"
He is a good farmer, u good
worker and a live man on gener-
a! principles. He has good
story to tel! and it is the story
OF thousands of others who rent
farms in Iowa and Illinois.
The early settlement of east
ern Colorado as an agricultural
country is the same story as the
early settlement of Iowa and
Illinois, and our conditions are
very like those of Nebraska and
South Dakota. Here land is yet
cheap. If it was more thickly
settled than it is S25 to S3J per
acre would prevail instead of s.
to Sl1. Experimental stations
have saved the new cOmers the
time and expense of finding out
the country himself, and all he
has to do is to be wise enough to
take the advise Of the professors
of the Fort Collins Agricultural
College to be successful.
The following is MIR. Willis
own experience as Il renter in
Iowa,
"Biairsburg, Iowa. Last Sep
tember the writer returned from
q trip to your neck OF the
woods and was surprised at
the progress and prosperity of
tnose who have been engaged in
farming and stock raising.
Nov, a word to those who are
renting. What does it cost to
rent2 How much does it pay!
Let US make an estimate. To
farm in Iowa, one needs an
equipment Of four horses, har-
ness, wagon, and machinery,
If all are good-let US say worth
81 900.

The last run of DeetS are be-

them. This winds up a very
successful campaign of beet
raising. and the raiSers general
iy are we'll pleased with their
seasons work. Those who put
in potatoes did equally as well,
but the market was unusually
good by reason of failures farth-
er east, and since beetS are in
demand at a contract price it is
the opinion OF those who have
had Il series Of years experience
that beets raising is surest. A
much larger acreage will be put
in next season. Oversaer Brown

RAILROADS ARE
DEFENDED BY
GROVER
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
PRINCETON, N. j., March "a
There Is much of the nature Of de-
lirium," said former President Grover
Cleveland, in an interview yesterday,
"in the popular outcry against rail-
road corporations. We shall all be
ashamed of IL bye and bye.
There is much that is not only
groundless, but wrong in the off-hand
attack made on the railroads by
thoughtless people. We should reflect
that the railroads are vitality related to
our prosperity and that to attack them
needlessly is but to attack ourselves.
1t is not the stock Of soulless million
aires, but the property of citizens, OF
widows and orphans whose savings are
invested in railroads, that is being
damaged.
1--WE shall recall what the railroads
have been and still are to be in the
development of our country and this
craze will pass. OF course there must
be some form of governmental super
vision, but it should be planned in a
quiet hour, not in one of angry excite
ment. Popular emotions follow peculiar
laws"
Discussing the political situation, Mr..
Cleveland said:
'It behooves Democrats to lose no
time in bringing to the front the issue
of tariff reform and in focusing the
attention of the country upon it. Tar
iff reform is the issue that will clarity
the atmosphere, solidify the friends of
Democracy and bring victory to the
party"
