NORTH SIDE news
Mrs. Cunningham Describes
Northwest Country.
Two Artists Now in Pioneer
HardShipS.
SEES WHEAT FIVE FEET HIGH
Where Large Fortunes Are
Made and Quickly Spent.
Advises All HOmesteaders to
Take Capital.

Mrs c. B. Cunningham of S33 North
Kansas avenue, who has just return
ed from trip through Colorado,
Wyoming and Utah, gives an inter
esting account of her experiences. She
speaks of seeing two Chicago women,
a music teacher and a china painter,
who had not been used to doing even
their own house work, now going
through hardships of pioneer life.
She also describes how fortunes in
that country are often gambled and
drank up within three days. She adj
vises no one to think of trying to get
the socalled free" governme land
without at least $500 capital. In
addition she describes wheat five feat
high.
1.-THE majority of people think that
they can get government land in the
northwest with absolutely no money
in their poke ts,'' said Mrs. Cunning
ham this afternoon. However, the
idea is a mistake. A person should
not try to locate in that country with
out at least $500. While the filing
fee does not amount to much, it costs
q great deal to put up the house and
fence and to till the land as required
by the government.
Artists Now Pioneers.
IT met two Chicago women near
Billings, Mont, who have invested
about $500 in their claims which
adjoin each other. And these women,
who until they came west had never
done even their own homework, are
now going through some of the hard
ships of pioneer life.
''They have helped dig their own
cisterns, bank up the earth against
their houses, fence their land and see
to the filling and harvesting of the
crops. And think of it, these same
two women knew only how to paint
china and play the piano; as I said,
never thought of attending to just
light household work when at home.
Now, L understand, in addition to
locking after their farm work, they
also have studios in Billings and give
lessons in the daytime and walk back
and forth from their homeSte2ds
where they stay at night.
Money Is Made-and Spent.
Money is made-and spent in that
country. You find plenty of oppor-
tunity to make money-and to spend
it. 1 know of a sheep herder, who
after saving the greater part of his
wages-$5O a month board and wash
ing included-for several years,
bought a ranch and then sold it for
$4,000 cash. In three days he had
gambled and drank up the entire fo--
tune. Every other door is a saloon
with all kinds of chances to gamble.
