II adequate funds are secured 1t means that the

there will be ready response on the part of the
band for all legitimate public purposes.
Free summer concerts are planned also These
have been most enjoyable affairs in the past and

be possible to give popular afternoon concerts dur

Asked the greatest need of the northwest, DR.

agree with him. Every person doesn't fit into thu
agricultural scheme Of the northwest and it takes
an expert farmer to carry out the modern dversi

The most encouraging sign that this sort of pop

announcement Of railroad immigration officials that

Inquiries already pouring into the railroad
offices about northwest lands and farming POSSIBLE
tiles. These inquiries are coming, not from every
Tom, Dick and Harry. but from experienced farm

Vlis sort OF population is the most solid type tc
be found and 1t means much toward the AGRICULTURAL
success OF the northwest
Farm land prices now are attractive, affording
the prospective purchaser the opportunity to make
good investment reasonable outlay of capt.

to meet interest payments with good crops and
