NON-REsmENTs IMPROVING.
\ Large Acreage Being Put In by
Local Parties for Non-Resident
Land Holders.

The best evidence that can be SUBJ
mi'ied as to the present and future
we.fdre of the North Side tract is The
fact that during the past year hun
Gv"ds of acres of new land has been
paced under cultivation by non rel
de.' holders, with the object in yie,.

Il axe a permanent home just as soon
as the condition of their holdings will
warrant it. There are several local
parties who have devoted much at
tention TO this class OF work during
the past season, but We want to call
attention to some Of the work that
has been done by Trail & Hartshorn,
the local real estate men, during the
season, having had an opportunity
during the past week through the
courtesy of Mr.. Trail, to be shown
what they were actually doing.
Driving northeast or town and
within a distanct of about four miles
We come to 40 acre tract which is
the property of Edwin l.. briggs, now
tlocated at Manila, P. /. This land has
all been put under the plow this sea-
son, and now shows a good stand OF
alfalfa, which promises good cutt-
ing yet this year. little farther on
We come TO a 40 owned by John NJ.
Duggan, of Chicago, Ill, which is To-
Gated under the pumping system.
This has been sown to clover with a
nurse crop of oats, and promises a
good stand from which the owner
may expect to realize some returns
another season. Driving still farther
and a little south and east of town
We come to a fine piece of land con-
tanning 160 acres, the property of
VIM. Severns, of Chicago, Ill. There
is now 120 acres of this land under
cultivation, 80 acres of which is this
springs seeding of clover with wheat
as nurse crop. A large acreage OF
clover was put In last season from
which it is expected to gather large
yield of seed this season. and as the
growth is very prolific and the field
is free from weeds, most excellent re-
p suits may be expected.
