THE RIO GRANDE
Superior to The Panhandle
Their Two Systems Of
Irrigation.

Lake county people have become in
tereste1 in Texas lands and several
parties have visited that section this
winter and some purchases have been
made. Two sections of Texas have
been represented in Madison and ex-
~cursion parties from Lake county have
visited both sections. 1t Is my pur.
pose to ~truthfully describe both sec,
tions. The land for which | am the
local agent situated in the Rio tirande
Valley Of southern Texas and is irrigat.
ed by a system of canals flowing
water out of the Rio Grande river.
The other section which is being repre-
sented in Lake county is situated In
the semi-arid portion of northwest
Texas, known as the Panhandle. and
the land is irrigated by wells. OF the
two systems of irrigation it will bs
readily seer that the Rio Grande Val
ley system is far superior, and perman'
emit. In the matter of climate the Ri'
Graude Valley receives the ocear
b~reezes, making the atmosphere coo
and enjoyable, while the Panhandle
section is psrched by the summer sur
and at times becomes almost uninhab
table from the scorching sun and bills
tering winds which sweep for hun
dreds of miles oyer the semi-ari,
region. People contemplating buying
land in Texas with a view of max
ing q home there cannot be too careful
in making their selection, and as irri
CATION is necessary in different poi
tions Of the state, the better the sys
tenn the more valuable the land
Anybody can see at once that irriga
tion from a big river like the Ri,
Grande is far superior to irrigation

Only a Few Words Used In q
$4,000 Real Estate Deal
$40 Per Acre.

A. q. Schmidt Yesterday closed q
deal for the ssle of the south 400 acres
of his 720 acre farm four miles north
west of Madison for the tidy sum of
$44, 900 $40 per acre. The purchaser
is John w. Schmidt of George, Iowa.
The deal came up rather unexpected
ly and WAS perhaps the quickest real
estate deal aver made in Lake county,
and is certainly the largest deal in
aggregate consideration.
John W. Schmidt has visited Madi-
son several times the past few years
in search of land investment and has
bought Lake county farms through the
| Schmidt & Robeck real estate agency.
| de has travelled about the county con
siderably and is acquainted with Lake
county land values.
A. G. Schmidt has been 10 Sioux
Falls the past several days in attend
ance upon his wife who is i'll in hos
pital there. Saturday his business
partner, Chas. Robeck, went to Sioux
Falls to call upon Mr.. Schmidt and
the afflicted lady. Mr.. Schmidt &C.
cornpanied Mr.. Robeck to the train
when he was ready to depart for home,
and as they walked along the street
Mr.. Robeck casually remarked that
John w. Schmidt was in Madison
looking for more land, and inquired,
What have we got to offer him 7"
Mr.. Schmidt, who remarked this morn
ing that at the time he was feeling
somewhat blue on account OF the i'll
mess of his wife. replied ofhand, Sell
him my south 400 acres" al
fright" said Mr.. Robeck. what price
shall | place on itT" "Oh, s1l0 pei

the business partners separated.

the afternoon train and within q hal
hour after be entered bis Office Jobr
W. Schmidt called and soon they wer,
engaged discussing land. Mr.. Schmid
inquiring what the firm had on their
list for sale. MIR. Robeck replied
"Why, | can let you have the south
400 acres of A. as farm Th,
price was named and without a mo
ment hesitation John w. Schmid
said. Il will take it.
1t was now Mr.. Robeck's turn t
be astonished. He immediately callet
up A. g. Schmidt in Sioux Falls
three hours after he had left him OF
the street there, and told him tha
John W. Schmidt had agreed to tax
the 400 acres at the price named ant
asked him if it was a sale. Mir
