shoot water, which is of the best quality, pure, clear and free from alkali.
The soil is a r'ch black loam, as productive as the Nilo Valley. We have
no haidpan, no locks nor stumps to harrass the farmer in tilling the soil.
Our climate is healthful. Tho air is pure, the nights arc cool .in'sum
mer, most of tho winters are open and mild, we have moro days of sunshine
in this section than ir. any other spot in the United States.
The wheat sown on iiKMiy of these farms will, if the yield is good, ami
the prospects never looked better, pay for the land.

propositions we have to offer. We have resided in this territory for over
twenty years and when you deal with us you deal with an old reliable firm.
