We had the pleasure of receiv- ing and perusing this week a neat little folder issued by the company constructing the big dam near St. Johns, which when completed, will make many thou sands acres of now desert land blossom like the rose, decribing the work ana land that the com pany has for sale. The most noticeable feature of this piece of literature is that 1t Is news to the llne of truth. All statements seems to have been varified and made plausible and the photo graphs are genuine. Like other advertising of this class it does not make you believe that un- deemed of profits are to be made and which any sensible business man of experience would pass up, but simply states that a per son may earn a good living from this land and pay for it out oi the profits derived from the land when under the ditch.
