PRICE is THE SAME.
No Slump in Price of Land Across
the River.

Pierre.-That the conditions west OF
the Missouri river the past summer
have not materially affected the selling
price of real estate is evidenced by a
recent sale of a quarter section near
Ottumwa, in central Stanley county
for $4,000. The expected slump in
prices which was looked for in the
western half of the state has not
come, and the chances are hat those
who have been expecting to make in
vestments in cheap lands in that part
of the state will have to pay about the
prevailing prices of the past two years
or not get what they want in the way
of lands.

been the best for the raising of broom
corn, the product has been sufficient

The hotel press Of the country are
