Is any unoccupied 'government land In'
this country or vicinity. In general
he wants to know what opportunity
there is for a man who Is willing to
work and wants to make a home. .
There are good opportunities here
for. industrious people who want to
make homes. Any one' with averge
ability good health and economy can in .
a few years have a good home all their
own. Instances are not infrequent
where the settler has effected a com
bination that has placed ' him at the
head of a large and constantly increas

In his declining years.
There are many Independent and
Well-to-do residents of this county who
dbmmenced barn-handed and almost
baie-backed to make themselves homes
In this country of wonderful climate,
.soil and resources. ,
Their success is not due to the pos- .
Hesslon of unusual talent or extraor
dinary exertion. It Is. the reward of
patient toll and industry.
It will be of great advantage to the
settler If he has a few hundred dollars
Cash at his disposal to make a start.
It will give him a chance to Bpend more
time making his-farm productive, In
stead of having to work for others to
get coin to run his ranch.
Any one who has an enduring taste
and appetite for piscatorial viands can
live here at an expense which will be
