We know that many farmers in
Iowa are looking for cheap land
suitable for farming where they can
raise good crops of corn, wheat, oats.
and other grains; stock, fruit and
vegetables. We also know that these
farmers want to buy at cheap
price, as cheap a price as is possible
to be had, and that many of them
desire homestead land. The best,
homestead land has been filed on but
there are claims to be had in or near
good farming sections of country
and within a distance of from two to-
ten miles of railroad stations. We
have one ranch of 160 acres for sale,
2 II miles from railroad station, with
fair buildings, 80 acres under plow.
balance hilly pasture land with six
head OF horses, and farming machin-
cry for $4,000; $1,000 cash will
handle this proposition, We have.
1000 acres, 5000 acres of which:
can be cultivated, located about ten
miles from railroad station in Ore
gon, that can be had for SIS per,
acre. For those desiring smaller
farms, several could come together
to purchase this land and secure it
at this very low price of SIT per acre.:
and reasonable terms could be ar
ranged. Would be pleased to an

voiced his great pleasure at being able
to convey the thanks of his fellow work
ers in person.

during the middle of the dance and he
was warmly welcomed by the local mem

Unless European Powers
Efforts Prevent or
Turkey Accedes
LITTLE CHANCE FOR
A PEACE FARLEY
First Effort of Allies Will
Be To Overthrow
Adrianople

London, Feb. 3.-War between Tur-
key and the allied Balkan nations vii
begin again at 7 O'Clock tonight unless
the last faint efforts of the European
powers to prevent the resumption OF
fighting should succeed, or Turkey should
decide at the eleventh hour to surrender
to the allies
The immediate object of the allied
Balkan armies is believed to be the sur
render of the fortress of Adrianople,
which has hitherto presented firm front
to all the efforts of the besiegers de-
spite the overwhelming force brought
against it.
King Nicholas OF Montenegro has al
ready started for the Turkish fortress of
Scutari. The king will direct the attack
in the hope of capturing the city
and thus establishing an accomplished
fact, Montenegro will obtain better
chance of keeping it permanently when
peace comes.
The Seryian armies alone have COM
pleted field operations and have placed
many of their troops at the disposal on
their comrades in the field.
Bulgaria made small concession to-
day, when she consented to the pro-
posal of the European powers that Tur-
key be allowed to appoint a representa-
tive of the caliph to reside at Adrian
ople after the cession of that city to
the allies The finances of all the states
engaged in the war are demoralized, and
Turkey will emerge from the conflict
practically bankrupt.
