Something from nothing a garden
from a desert Such is the history of
irrigated sections Take land that sells
for 50 cents an acre put water on it and
it sells for what There are quarters
of land lu irrigated sections of Colorado
that cannot be purchased for 20000 and
which earn a remunerative interest on
that valuation
And yet you can purchase irrigated
lands where the soil is perfect beyond
belief where the water supply is plenti
ful and inexhaustible where climatic
conditions are healthful and exhilarat
ing whore fuel is abundant and cheap
for from 15 an acre up
THE REASONS
Tho North Platte Valley extending
from Bridgeport Neb to Guerusi
Wyo and the Big Horn Basin Wyom
ing have been but recently made avail
able for settlement by the extension of
the Burlington railroad into those sec
tions The irrigating companies must
have settlers along their ditches and
they olTer substantial inducements in
shape of low priced water rights and
lands
HOW LONG WILL THIS CONDITION
CONTINUE
None may say surely but it wont be
for long and the sooner jou invest the
cheaper will you be able to do so for the
advance is just as sure as has been the
advance in the price of similar lands in
other sections

The Oldest Iitnvsuit
A lawsuit which may probably be
claimed as the oldest in the world is re
ported from the Trentina says the Lon

In litigation for the possession of an ex
tensive tract of woodland which has
assumed the character of a virgin for
est with trees of colossal size which no
man dares to truck Spots are still
pointed out where 200 years ago the
two communes fought pitched battles
for the disputed wood Apparently the
Homeric struggle is as far from closing
as ever
