IN alfalfa, fully 5000 acres In sugar heets
and very largely increased acreage in

Crop conditions have seldom been more
promising than at the present" writes W

Denver, Laramie & Northwestern '.The
ground Ia in excellent tilth, the weather is
all that could be desired for rapid, sturdy

pumpkins per acre. DR.. w. r. Thomas OF
the Colorado State Agricultural college,
who has been a careful observer of west
ern development for more than forty years,
has this to say OF this region:
This northern Colorado region affords
unexcelled opportunities for investment in
lands and urban real estate in manufac-
turing and agriculture; for the establish
ment Of industries of every kind and de-
scription on a large or small scale, as cir
oumstances may dictate; for farming In
all of its various branches on a scale Of
production and profit unknown to other
localities; for all the lighter and pleasanter
forms OF agriculture. Horticulture, fruit
growing and similar occupations; for the
feeding Of sheep and cattle; for the maxi
ing Of homes amid the most wholesome and
attractive surroundings To such varied
opportunities add the advantages Of nearby
and widely extended markets of railway,
telegraph and telephone communication, OF
a cheap and abundant coal supply for fuel;
Of educational ficihties varied as they
are excellent: of an intelligent industrious,
enterpr1sing and well-ordered resident pop
ulation; of a climate of unsurpassed health
fulness, of landscape Views, which the
Rocky mountain region alone can furnish,
and this is northern Colorado"

being about twenty eight inches annually;
so that artificial irrigation is unnecessary
and unknown.
The business pursuits OF the inhabitants
Of this state are not entirely devoted 10
the production Of farm crops, as lumber
ing, manufacturing and mining are carried
on quite extensively. A little upward Of
twenty years ago, IRON was discovered in
tho northwestern part OF this state. and
80 great was the quantity and quality, that
g per cent Of the iron now used in the
United States is mined in one county in
Minnesota Biologists informed us that
vermilion and Messabe ranges, mostly In
81. Louis county, but recently the great
Guyana range in Crow Wing and ad-
Joining counties has been discovered, and
It is now estimated that this new dis
covery contains a greater quantity Of
iron than the combiied product Of the
Vermilion and Messabe. HUNDREDS Of
thousands of men are being employed In
the mining OF iron on the different ranges
and there is under course of construction
at Duluth, a steel plant which will employ
thousands OF man.
Ample Rail Facilities.
Railroads and trolley lines have been
constructed to the extent Of nearly 1900
miles. which cross and recross the state
in every direction, bringing every part Of
It within easy access of good markets
found in the rapidly growing cities Of
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth.
Minnesota was one of the first states 20
engage in intelligent conservation. which
was commenced by her first territorial
governor. The constitution of the state
provides that the moneys received from the
sale Of lands coded to the state by the
national government should be forever kept
intact for the benefit Of the public schools

wards of SIS coo and It is estimated by
the state auditor that It will reach $780,

The people OF this state are now en-
gagged in an active campaign for the con-
servation of the hydraulic powers latent
in their many streams 1t Is estimated
that one million horsepower annually can
be developed from this source alone, which,
when done will augment the rapidly grow
ing manufacturing industry in the state,
as well as furnishing power for cheaper
transportation. Is it any wonder there

seeking for new homes should turn their
attention to this great state. to the north
