and G. c. Singer to look over them at first
hand. He has been in the real estate
business many years in sections where
lands sell at good prices and he is of the

but later an active campaign for visitors
to this section will be inaugurated by the
company. The concern believes it has one
Of the best propositions in the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, and that the acreage it

farms
1t has been some time since an active
campaign has been conducted for the dis
posal Of lands in the Little Indiana
section. The Indiana Canal Company has
for some time been extending and improv-
ing its canals in order to have these lands
in good shape for selling at the proper
time. The tract to be sold by the Ma
tiOnal Emigration Company has already
been surveyed and plated into fOrty-acre
plots, and there are sufficient canals al
ready constructed to allow the company
to build smaller lateralS on short notice.
The drainage system being constructed
through the Little Indiana section will
enhance the value Of the land as it will
rcnfe' il IN easy problem for farmers to
drain their individual tracts.
The National Emigration Co. or the
men who are back of it. have been enabled
TO secure the selling privilege for this
tract Of 1000 acres only after a great deal
Of effort. 1t took some time for the two
parties to come to terms and the contract
was closed about ten days ago The
company has another immense PROPOSE
tion on foot which it hopes to close but
which cannot be made public at this time.
