GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM
ri z ties in Dunn County Happy,
Dosperous and Contented

EDITOR CENSOR: Just few lines to
let you know how we live and on what
we make our living. During the past
six years there has migrated from Yer
non county the following persons who
have settled in and around Wheeler, in
Dunn coupty: Knute Moseng, John
Fortaey, Hans Fortney, Theo. Fortney,
S. J. Sholoen, Martin Fortney, Thos.
Tollefson, Chris. Stegne, Henry Wig
dahl and their families. Being farm
er it nature lily follows that | am largely
interested n stock raising and the pro-
duets of the farm. We answered the
lure of the reasonable priced farm lands
that are heated in close proximity to
the grea. markets in place where
failure Of crops is practically unknown,
and where there are good schools and
churches. Most of US have had oppor-
tunity to sell out at good substantial
increase in price on our land; in fact
we could have doubled our money, but
why should we? General satisfaction
prevails and there is no reason why
our lands shall not, in a time not far
distant, sell for 500 per acre, when we
together with splendid dairying facih-
ties, can raise good corn, potatoes every
year and bumper clover crop. Alfalfa
is raised successfully, but is yet in its
infancy.
The old settlers here are fast being
succeeded by a more thrifty class Of
farmers from Iowa, Minnesota and
Illinois, whJ are looking for invest
ments mat soon will free them from
TIE burden of debt, or who have here
tOfore been renters. This section of
Wisconsin is well supplied with cream
cries and cheese factories and every
progressive farmer has a number of
good mich cows and bunch of hogs,
mortgage lifters) not unlike conditions
in Vernon county. Land here is fast
advancing in price, but still some good
places can be bought for from $35 to
$50 per acre. The cut-over and beauti-
full timber lands entwined with streams
fed by living water from numerous
springs are giving away to waving fields
of clover, small grain and corn.
In closing, | wish to bring greet
ings to each and every friend that pur-
chance may read this letter.

A Fine Collection

The Elson collection of high-class
pictures exhibited in the high school
auditorium on Thursday and Friday was
great treat TO picture lovers and Of
great educational value to the students,
even the little tots recognizing ''Sir
Galahad, about whom they had been
taught. Untold influence for good is
given by such an array of these works
Of art. We regret that more time
could not have been given to careful
instruction of the artists idea as given
on the canvases. 1t is impossible to
specialize among the works of Millet,
Van Dyke, Breton, Sargent, Alexan-
der, etc. A colored copy of the aurora
when lighted up by the lantern, held
the audience spell bound. A neat sum
was Melted for the school, and this will
be used for the purchase of pictures
for the various rooms. L. r. c.
