RETURNS FROM FLORIDA WITH
PROMISING REPORTS

The Florida Fruit Land Co.
have opened Offices in the Boyer
block in this city. The members
of the company are S. Leroy
Smith of Willist on, and r. f
Frost of this city. They are
handling the famous Florida
land redeemed ia the Everglades
of that state, and it looks as
tho they have q very god
proposition TO offer.
Mr.. s. Leroy Smith spent six
weeks il the Everglades OF Flor
ida, leaving there about March
LIST, 1910.
Mr.. Smith says that in one i'll
stance he visited a certain Mr.
A. H. Butts, who was farming
on raw land Just behind the
state canal, and or Nov. lst,
1909, Mr.. Butts land was un-
drained EVERGLADES land, the
dredge at that time not being
past his place. ,.,
Mr.. BUTTS put in five acres Of
tomatoes on this same soil after
the dredge had passed his place,
and in February made the state
ment to Mr.. Smith that he had
sold from each acre $500 worth
Of tomatoes.
Mr.. Smith accepted this story
with several mental reserva-
tions, but later Oh called on the
man who purchased these toma-
toes, and his books showed that
Mr.. Butts had sold from each
acre 1882 worth of tomatoes
and was not through harvest
ing this first crop.
Mr.. Smi h will verify this story
to any one calling at the office
of the florida Fruit Land Co.

MAY BE ERROR. in CENSUS.

1t is quite probable that we will
learn that the, government made an
error in sending out the census re.
turns as far as Minot is concerned. It
was reported that F. W. Brewster
Of Harvey, gave pretty strong hint
shortly after the census was complet-
ed that our population was slightly
more than 5000.
1t is believed that the figures for
the entire state will show that North
Dakota has a population Of about
$4,000. The population in Mr.. Brew
ster's district is over 100000. The
townships average about $50 each.
