already purchased the state sani-
tarium for tuberculosis patients, a
new school house and new hotel.
The town is located on a level
plateau just at the edge of the foot
hills of the Turtle Mountains on
level land adjoining Willow Greek
The creek is skirted with natural
timber and upon its banks are beau
tiful parks where the people often
meet for outdoor religious services
or recreation.
The Great Northern Railway has
purchased about 100 acres in the
foothills just northeast of the little
city for gravel pit They are now
working steam shovels and five
trains taking gravel to surface up
the road on the main line and other
branches. Southeast, south and
west of the city the prairie farms
begin. and from there west all thru
Bottineau county and south of the
main line is. for sureness of crop,
average yield and general farming
value, one of the best sections of
land in the state. In fact, that
district is acknowledged by machine
men and others who have travelled
over the state quite extensively to
be surpassed by no other portion of
the state.
Here there has been no boom
and but few sales have as yet been
made to outsiders. Many of the
farmers are adding to their holdings
and paying from $4,000 to $4,000
per quarter section of land, while on
the main line, or near Westhope
Overly, Bottineau, and of like quail
ity and location sells readily from
$1,000 to $4,000 for each quarter
section.
If Winneshiek parties desiring to

gains will call upon me while I am
at home or later address me at Dun
seth, n. D., | will give them such

gather
Just back Of the foothills from
| fnnr n turn1yn
there are many quarters of brush
, and meadow land that can be had
| from SIS to S25 per acre. according
/ to improvements. Water of the
best quality can be had from springs
! or by digging from Is to 40 feet.
! There is hardly any alkali. Little
| lakes in this section are numerous.
The brush or cut over land is of
the very best as far as quality is
concerned. If there is renter in
the county who has 81 900. l can
tell him where he can buy quarter
! sections of land upon such terms
that he can easily pay for 1t in a
very few years, besides making a
good living. Near such places are
good country schools. good neigh
bors, and excellent opportunities to
get hay for stock. Ask the men
who have purchased land of me If
any have ever been deceived or beat
en- by me on land taken on my re-
commentator. Then play fair to
yourselves and to me, instead of
giving the wealthy land companies
from $4 to so an acre for the privi-
! lege of buying from corporation.
In the Turtle Mountain district
you can get land where the rainfall
is ample, crops sure, schools and
other social conditions good, and
buy from the agent or owner with
ont a big profit to any land COM
pany.
Come and see. Come and see. All
