Ranchers on the North shoshone
tract are not satisfied with the
acreage of irrigated lands they
own, so they are proceeding with
out wasle Of time to make entries
on enlarged homestead or dry
farms as they are called. Many
choice locations have already been
made aud by the time these
farmers are through, there will be
little good land left for outsiders.
This indicates in what esteem
the dry farming lands are held by
those who live next to them, and

tions point very strong1~ to the
crowding of the retail and business
part Of the city to that section lying
along the river towards RAINIER, where
the American Suburbs Company has
it's magnificent holdings. Already a
street railway has been built and is
ready to enter the city almost any
day, while the principal highway
connecting the two towns is being
macadamized and is nartly complet-
ed at this writing. Of this district
volumes might be written, so fraught
is it with possibilities Of greatness.
The natural beauty Of the scenery,
its strategic position between the two
big factory districts, and the con-
scientious efforts being made by the
American Suburbs Company to real
rze for their clients the fullest returns
upon their investments makes the
proposition particularly attractive,
and it is not saying too much when
the prediction is made that within 4
very few years this property will be
very valuable. It must be particu-
larly gratifying to the Company to
be able to point to the realization Of
many things they have promised, and
there IS little reason to doubt that
their highest expectations will be
fully realized within the space Of q
very few years.

Why Buy Red Cross Seals?

Why you should buy Red Cross
Christmas Seals, NAV be answered
most effectively in the words Of a
twelve-year-old boy in the Duluth,
(Minn.) schools, who gave the fol-
lowing as his reason in a composition
on this subject:
''The reason I put Red Cross Seals
on nv Christmas gifts is because ev-
erv seal I use counts one cent to-
ward stamping out tuberculosis in the
city and for the maintenance Of hos
pitfalls for that purpose. The seals
are also used to raise funds to teac;l
people the value of fresh air. All.
other reason I buy them is because
my father died Of tuberculosis and
buy them so that other little boys
an girls won't lose their father as
did. Another reason is that if
am ever threatened with tuberculosis
the doctors will have fund to try t.
prevent it."
Willmar tribune., 1912-12-04

The. semi-annual meeting of the
Northern Minnesota Development
Association drew large crowd of
interested business men, farmers az
legislators to International Falls last
week where not a few surprises were
sprung. To a GOOD many the "Citv
of Destiny" meant nothing more than
a prosperous village, sprung up, as
it were, during the night, and the en-
thusiastic exuberance Of it's citizens
was looked upon as the effervescence
of rapidly working townsite boom.
However, this mistaken notion was
soon dispelled and to those making
their third or fourth trip to the Falls
the soldity Of the foundations of x
big city now being laid were even
more apparent than to those who had
been denied the opportunity Of
watching the wonderful transforma-
ton which has been taking place
since the earlier frontier buildings
were erected. First came the wond :
erful works Of nature, the Indian and
the homesteader's shack. Then the
men with capital and courage har-
messed the seething torrents and babe
the giant forces do their bidding.
Millions upon millions were spent
upon the great dam and paper mill
before the wheels Of industry made
