aD PRAIRIE LAND AZ
H END OF THE GOOD CHEAP FARM LANDS

. HE population of the United States is now increasing more than two
million people every twelve months. This means a new state the
size of Iowa each year, and a vast additional demand or consumption Of
food products.
1t will take more than a million head of live stock. twelve million
bushels Of wheat, twenty million bushels of corn, and the same proportion
Of all other grains, all vegetables, dairy products, poultry, cotton, tobacco,
etc, to supply the demand of this increase of population each twelve
months. Our exports are also continually increasing.
All of this vast ADDITIONAL production must be made from land
not fully utilized the previous year.
At the rate new land is being utilized, in less than five years there
will not be an acre Of cheap farming land in the United States.
lands, over 100 600, 900 acres having been taken from the Government by
homestead entry during the past ten years.
The very best cheap lands remaining on the market now, anywhere
in the woiLd, are these rich prairie lands of central South Dakota. The
soil is a deep, rich, black loan, undelaid with a good clay subsol. free
from brush " stone and covered with a fine growth of natural grass.
These lands are now advancing in value, but splendid pieces can still
be obtained in this locality for from $500 to 5000 per acre. There is
no better land in the world. it being as good and productive as the best
Illinois soil for producing alfalfa, corn and live stock.
Natural gas is found in limited quantity in the locality Of Pierre, and
make all the lands in central South Dakota of great additional value and
fortunes will be made by many fortunate owners.
These lands will be worth from $4,000 to $780, 90 per acre in the
near future. l will be pleased to correspond with anyone wishing to con-
slider a land investment, and will give particulars of some extra good bar
gains in land. if desired.

REALTY MEN
IN BARABOO
NEXT MEETING
T. E. Mead Secures Con-
vention for This
City.

At the annual convention of the Real
Estate Brokers of Wisconsin held at
Ashland this week, T. E. Mead of Bar
aboo was present and was able to ar
range for the next meeting to be held
in Baraboo next January. Among the
problems discussed at the meeting just
closed was the intended cooperation
with the railway of the state and the
Railway Rate Commission in determin-
ing who are entitled under the statutes
to receive transportation as immigra-
tion agents. The remarkable increase
in immigration to Wisconsin during the
past few months is due in large meas
ure to the united efforts of the Wiscon-
sin Association of Real Estate Brokers
and it is the desire of the members of
the Association to use their efforts in
securing the greatest possible degree
of cooper alton between all of the
agencies Of immigration.
Uniform contracts were also debated.
There were banguets, rides and q
general good time by those present.

DOC FA|LEQ To
LOCATE THIEVES

Thieves entered the ginseng garden
of Winsor Cliffs last week and took out
about $50 worth of roots and damaged
the beds to about half that amount. The
beds were not disturbed and Sharp's
bloodhound was sent for but Mr.. Sharp
was away and could not come until the
next day. During the night quite
heavy rain fell 80 that it made tracking
extremely difficult for the dog, however
it picked up a scent and trailed out of
the garden, around the edge of town
and south on the main road, but
seemed to lose the scent on the hill
near the Dowell farm and the dog was
taken home. No clues were obtained
that would be of benefit in locating the
guilty party. Viola News.

automobile
accident on
Main Road

The Dick Carswell and Chan Beck
with families were in an automobile
accident on the river road, Sunday,
from which they escaped with slight
injuries. There were eleven of them in
the car, and Mr.. Carswell drove off the
river road grade while passing horse
and buggy driven by Joseph Grauvogl.
The front and rear wheels on one side
of the car left the grade and although
the car almost tipped over, it was pre-
vented from doing so by the stump of
tree into which it ran. The occupants
were spilled out but none of them were
seriously injured, though Mr.. Cars
wells little son received bad cuts on
both hands as he fell through the brok-
en- windshield. The auto was badly
damaged.
Mr.. Carswell says that no one can be
blamed for the accident unless it is
himself. The air was SO filled with dust
that he drove closer to the side ,of the
road than he intended 20.

Great School Made Richer
By Bequest of
Banker.
TWO OTHER COLLEGES
ARE ALSO NAMED
Relatives in East Get
Small Yearly
Sums.

The university of Wisconsin is made
the BENEFICIARY of the residue of the es-
tate of the late ]. Stevens Trip, bank
er and lawyer of Prairie du Sac, Wis,
amounting to about $500, 900. This total
ly unexpected disposition of the estate
was revealed with the filing of the will
for probate at Baraboo since his death.
The cemetery at Sauk City was also
remembered with sum.
Friends have been under the i'm
preston his estate was much more
than $3.50, 900 but this is believed to
be about the correct amount.
Carroll college, Waukesha, Wis, and
Ripon college, Ripon, Wis, each get
$5, 900 by another clause of the brief
instrument now on file in the Sauk
county courthouse at Baraboo.
A brother and two aged sisters of the
deceased are given $500 per year for
the remainder of their lives A friend
is also remembered in similar degree.
The brother and sisters reside in New
York.
The estate of the aged banker con-
sists of highly valuable collateral.
There is much bank stock of gilt edged
character, mortgages, corporate
stock and real estate.
Mr.. Tripp gave to his home ci,. a
$40, 900 auditorium and hall known as
the Trip Memorial hall. In various
directions he made his commu-
nifty the object of benefactions
throughout long and prosperous life.
He was a member of the state assem-
bly, in 1862.
Speculation was keen in Prairie du
Sac since Mr.. Trips death over the
nature of his bequests. That the Uni
versity of Wisconsin should receive the
greater portion of the estate came as q
total surprise to those whom the news
reached after his demise. Another in
teresting feature of the bequest is the
fact that no string whatever attaches
to the grant.

To Eliminate Educational
Qualifications by Amend
ment to Assembly
Bill.
AUTHOR PUTS
IN PROTEST
North Freedom Solon Saws
Addition Flavors of
Extravaganza

Aid to rural school teachers without
the limitation of additional education
al qualifications was endorsed by the
assembly at Madison when that body
amended and engrossed the Dickie bill.
Assemblyman Hambrecht, who oppOs-
ed it because of the elimination of the
educational qualification feature, has
moved reconsideration, and the bill will
come up again. The original bill provid-
ed that rural school teachers having
two years training in normal or man.
ual training school beyond the regular
high school course, should be entitled
to special state aid of SIS per month
first year, $3.50 the second year, and 5000
the third year they remain in the same
rural school. The Herzog amendment,
which was Incorporated, gives special
state aid to teachers who have had
three years practical experience in a
rural school, the amount being grad
uated acc riding to the tine the teachers
remain in the same school district.
Assembly Dickie opposed this amend
ment, claiming it was extravagant. 1t
was favored by Assemblymen Nordman
and O'Brien, the former a county
superintendent decade ago, and the
latter school teacher.
Still Fighting on Sauk County
Court Bill.
There was a long debate at Madison
over the bill to create new judicial
circuit by detaching Sauk county from
the present circuit composed of Sauk
and Dane Ecounties. Assemblyman Carl
Hanson offered data to prove that Judge
E. Ray Stevens is overworked and that
the Dane county circuit is overcrowded.
Assemblyman Dickie of Sauk county
opposed the bill, saying the legislature
was forgetting the promises to the peo-
pie to abolish Offices and refuse to create
new ones. The bill was reconsiderd, but
no vote was taken on it's engrossment.
