Well Known Fargo Man Thinks the
Tor High Values in Canada. .

Geo. W. Hancock, a prominent
Ealso businessman, who returned
from trip through Canada and the
west, advises North Dakotans to te
content with their lot. He says:
Il want to say this right now tina,
saw no place that looked so good
to me as the green fields Of North
Dakota, and actually We breathed a
sigh of relief when we were again
across the border in our own state.
''Let me tell You of some of the
conclusions that I came to on nv trip.
In Spokane we found the city was
overlooked and over built, with
many stores and residences for rent
all over the city and many, very
many, unoccupied. About the viein-
ity of Spokane it is dry and there is
little growing except that produced ~
irrigation and the country isn't at all
inviting to one who has been used to
the green of our state.
As to Seattle.
Seattle is also overboomed and
over built, with many vacant store
rooms and houses for rent, and there
is very little building going on. The
city has population Of about 28O, 900
and has territory for accommodate
ing 100000 Of people. It is expen-
sive to live there. The street paving,
sewers and water mains all cost an
immense amount If money in making
connections for the great unoccupied
territory, which seems to me unnec-
essary. know that there are MANY
Fargo people who went there who
would be very glad to sell out at what
they have paid out and get back into
our state again. What we saw Of
Alaska was very beautiful, but the
climate is cold and damp, and then,
too, We saw the country at it's best.
There is little business there of ally
kind excepting fishing and mining ana
every kind Of business necessary for
these is amply provided for in all
towns we visited.

and it is impossible to invest with any

Thousands Per Foot.
Take property mile away from

foot for it and even vacant residence

such as I have at home would cost
there not far from $4,000 and one
can see that buying property there
for an investment would te a piece
Of foolishness.
The country from Calgary to Swift
Current is practically a wilderness
and it is hard for me to understand
why North Dakota people will throw
up their holdings here or sell them
at all and go up in Canada and strug-

will have to.
Two Good Cities.
Both Moose Jaw and Regina are
two good sized cities and they arc
growing, but like all other Canadian
cities the real estate values are inhat-
ed about to the bursting point. Win
nipeg has grown wonderfully in the
past ten years, but like Seattle it "a
laid out .or city Of 100000 and .he
expenses for sidewalks, sewers and
streets are enormous. Half the terri
tory of the city would to my mind he

"The Manitoba farms between Win
nipeg and Neche are not at all in
keeping with tho farms across the
border in North Dakota. The farm
ers in the Canadian district do not
appear to have done ANYTHING to I'M
prove them, and there have practi-
callybeen no trees planted. The
difference in this is most apparent,
for In crossing the line and getting
into Pembina county one almost feels
that he is getting into a park in CON-
parison.

No Work at Cornell.

Ithaca, N. Y, Nov. 2-The Cornell
coaches are to use every available mo-
ment to strengthen the Cornell defense.
They were unable to get the varsity
players out on the field this afternoon,
and the only active work Cornell could
undertake to-day was a signal drill in
the armory in the evening. when Capt.
Butler ran the eleven through the new
plays to be used against Pennsylvania.
The trouble to-day was the same old
faculty restriction on practice which has
made each Friday Of every week barren
as far as any work that amounts to any
thing is concerned. The imminence of
the Pennsylvania game made no differ
ence, and only a few of the varsity men
could get out until after o'clock, when
II was too dark to begin.
A blackboard talk and lantern slide ex-
position of new plays, together with COM
ment by Sharpe on the weaknesses of the
players as shown in the Michigan game
and a heart-to-heart lecture on what may
be expected from Pennsylvania, were the
features of the afternoon session between
coaches and players.
DR.. Mumford, the squad physician, re-
ported that the men were all in good
shape, and Sharpe therefore has no hesi-
tation in ordering severe workouts for
tomorrow and Monday.
