pen today for the benefit of the readers
in your locality. who are anxious to secure
home or purchase a farm for speculation
This is, by all means, one of the incest,
ane most profitable countries that have
seen. Chiefly settled by people from
Minnesota and Wisconsin, at this locality
Many located hereNtwo and three years
ago who had not been able to store awav
any of this worlds goods before, and now
they are comfortably fixed. Land has adj
vanced in price very rapidly and will in
crease in value as fast in the future, if
crops continue to be what they have been
in the past few years. Homesteads are all
filed on here now, but there are some real
snaps in railroad land and accomplishments
yet. Every one seems to be contented

ed rapidly, good substantial houses and
barns are being built and it is pleasure
to drive out in the country and see marked
signs OF prosperity in every direction.
This is my first winter outside of Minneso-
ia, and by far the most pleasant of my life.
We have no snow at all and have had but
one short period of zero weather. Today
we drove out about twelve miles south of
town and talked with several farmers who
were busy plowing and narrowing, some
thing never saw before in the month of
January. This is Sunday. but we were in
settlement of Seven Day Adventists.
My object in writing you these few lines
is for the benefit of so many of the readers
OF your paper. who know have ceen in
terested in getting farm somewhere.
where the crop will pay for the interest
ON the money invested in the land that it
is raised on. which it will not do on. one
hundred dollars per acre land with an
average crop of fourteen bushels of wheat
per acre.
The crops we're immense here this sea-
son. in many cases the crop paid for the
land it was raised on. will gladly answer
any questions that anyone interested may
write. will also send samples of grain to
all inquiring friends. who will send for
them. also earnestly advise anyone who
is anxious for a good farm. either for
home or an investment to visit the Golden
Valley at Beach. N. d.. at once. We are
located one and one-half miles from the
Montana line, in Billings county and sixty
five miles north Of the Milwaukee road
which is being built out of Watertown
west. drove across the country to the
new road and found it pretty well settled.
We have a large territory here and the
land is a rich black loam MIR. Geo. Oech
