Is BEING OFFERED IN THE
WAY OF INDUCEMENTS AT
THE CATHOLIC COLONY
OF ONAMIA, MINI.

Each colonist is advanced $4,000
worth of lumber, which he is to use
in part for building house and barn.
100000 in cash is loaned each colonist,
with which he is required to buy COWS,
hogs and poultry These amounts are
charged in the settlers contract, with
ten years time in which to pay.
After the settler has removed the
brush and cleared ten acres, the
Company with whom the contract is
made goes in with a powerful stump
puller and assists in removing the
stumps. in which work the settler is
employed if he desires. This work is
done at cost and charged in on the
settlers contract, with ten years time
in which to pay
If a settler, within two years, puts
on the land six cows or more, and
keeps that many or more during the
next eight years, "a rebate of $100
per acre is allowed on the purchase
price of the land
Two priests are stationed at Ona-
mia, where they have church and par
sonage. This is g help to the co7onists
because the settlers know they will
not be called upon to contribute to
church building for some time to
come.
Over twenty miles of wagon roads
are in course of construction through
the lands Of this colony, under the
supervision of the Minnesota State
Highway Commission.
Three dollars per acre is paid down,

of colonists is booked for this spring.
