Be- sida deliveiiz}g_mny Jectures 1 hed |- personal talks with over-three hun- dred men who are more or less in- terested in this country. “I find that the hardest drawback this country has is the way in which the real estate men are advertising land for sale for almost nothing, thus causing the buyers to.believe that where the land can be sold so cheaply that it is not worth any- thing. “The weather down there is cold one day and hot the next. I much prefer Beltrami weather to theirs. Two weeks ago during a blizzard, 2 inches of snow fell. “From the interviews I have had, with men who are interested in nor- thern Minnesota, I predict that with- in 10 or 15 years this country will have the greatest rush for land, than has ever been known.” INMENSE GONSIGNMENT OF ORANGES ARRIVES The largest consignment of or- anges that has ever been received in this city has arrived.
