Here is the land of cheap lands.
Ranches comprising tens of thous-
ands or acres are in the transition
state; they are being cut up and of
fered for sale and the Central Pa
enc company is offering from it's vast
heritage tens of thousands of acres on
the tempting instalment plan of ten
year payments. The conditions are
ideal and the only surprise is that the
homeseeker did not awake to the OPP
portunity before. Nevertheless the
homeseeker is creeping in and wells
are going down to the underflow
which has never disappointed settlers.
Lands anywhere from $40 to SIS

at your own price, but all is culti-
vable and profitable to handle. Irri-
CATION by pumping has usurped the
throne occupied for generations by

yielded returns beyond compare.
Such is the back yard or San Fran

backyards, it is an eyosore simply for
lack OF attention, but when investors
get together with the owners of these
lands the most surprising results will
startle a sleeping world. A coalition

Some of the Inducements.
Nevada, as land of investment.
offers the following inducements:
Cheap land open to all.
Unlimited markets for farm pro-
duce.
Ten thousand miners to be sup
piled by home producers.
Butter and eggs by the carload are
brought in from other states. Why
not raise these at homef
Berries and fruits from California,
Utah, Oregon, Colorado and Washing
ton are delivered daily by express in
carload lots at half dozen distribut-
ing eenters of the state.
Nevada is pioneer state with q
payroll therefore it is different from
others. There is a home market for
everything that can be raised and at
prices that save the producers the
weighty handicap of long distance
transportation.
Fruit growers of Utah and Colora-
do cultivating orchard lands worth
$500 to $500 an acre find it pays to
ship to Nevada. Therefore it stands
to reason that Nevada fruit growers
on lands costing from $25 to 800 an
acre should have no misgivings about
returns. Why should notNevada farm
ers find profit by supplying the
trade right at their doorsi
Nevada farm lands are the best in
vestment in the world today.
Mines and mills of Nevada have a
payroll of $7,000,000 year, disburs-
ed in hard money, and the men who
cash the checks want the best that
money can buy.
The railroads of Nevada pay out
this year to employees and in con-
struction work the enormous sum of
