universal expression of content upon
the faces of the people; assures one
that here, indeed, many have found
true happiness.
Fargo has every facility in the n
joyment Of life to be found in a city
of it's size in this country. New York
has more electric lights, but MOI in
proportion to her inhabitants. Chi
cago has more paved streets, but not
in proportion to the population. San
Francisco has more cafes and places
Of resorts for their people, but none
of them excel in beauty or any pleas
ure giving powers, as those of which
Fargo boasts.
AS a place for the rearing of child
rem, no better city in this country can
be found. The educational facilities
are ~unexcelled. The temptations usual
ly found in every city are here con-
spicuous by their absence. No saloon
doors cape wide to tempt the boy to
the downward path; and to the man
who has a family of boys to rear this
is indeed a great advancement for him
to make his home in our midst. The
lighting system Of Fargo is equal to
that of any city, and far superior to
that Of most cities of the same size in
this country. The price Of property
and the amount charged for rent are
very reasonable, when all OF the adj
vantages enjoyed by our people are
taken into consideration. We have our
modern apartment houses, our modern
plants, our electric lights, our street
railway, our city water, our heating
plant, our paved streets. and, In fact
every civic advantage to be found any
where on earth.
The musical life of Fargo and
throughout the northwest, is indeed
above the average, and no city of 49,

Fargo Is a City Of Beautiful Homes

Many cities of this country boast of
a larger number of people, of more
paved streets of greater manufacture
ing districts and larger railroad faciI-
tiles than Fargo; but very few cities
of an equal population can at all COM
pare with Fargo as a city of homes.
Lying as It does on a level plateau
in one of the graceful curves of the
Red river of the north--it is ideally
situated as a prominent residence for
mankind. The climate, while rigid in
winter, is very healthful, and epidem-
les of diseases to which other cities
are heir, are of very rare occurrences.
Fargo is especially fortunate in the
number of homes that are owned by
her citizens. The prairies have been
converted to the planting Of trees. and
the beautiful streets and avenues are
lined by commodious modern homes,
many of them owned by people in
moderate circumstances.
Cne point hat STANDS out promi-
nently to the stranger who visits Far
go-is the uniformly well-kept APP
pearance of the grounds about the
various homes. There is a certain
amount of civic pride within The breast
Of every home owner in Fargo, which
causes them to keep their premises in
Al condition at all times-and during
the summer months is like a visit to
the promised land. To take a stroll
along the residence streets of Fargo, to
see the happy families enjoying the
pure air on their porches, to see the

situation is less dangerous than al
any time since February 1.
American Consul Hollani at Sal
