Isolated Lands in the Willow River Valley Now Brought into Ciose Touch With the Duluth and Twin City Markets. New Towns and Cheap Lands will be occupied Rapidly. The Land is Good. Settlers and Investors:- I have for sale something worth invest- ing. Itis 3000 acres of good land. Timber land, and all good farm ing land, inthe Willow River val- ley, in northern Aitkin County, Minnesota. This tract is crossed by the new Soo railroad, now building from Thief River Falls to Duluth and Superior, thus placing this land, which has heretofore been isolated from railroads, within easy reach of big cities with their great mar- kets, over a direct line of railway. Our land lies level and gently rolling. The soilis a rich loam, where the maple, oak and bass wood grow, and yields enormous crops of everything you stick in the ground. Some of this landis cut over, but is mostly easy to clear and you can raise crops the first year; fine feed growing on this land now; on meadow and upland, some with tame grass. |) Fuel and fencing for a lifetime. And a new town is laid out close up to our lands. Fne lakes; also running streams cross the town- ship which drain the country. There will be a movement to these good lands along this new railway, by home-seekers and in- vestors very soon, and when these good cheap lands of Northern Minnesota are taken up, the last good cheap lands of the famed American west will be gone for- ever. We are facing the very last chance. Don’t you think you ought to hurry aud get some land? Will sell you 40 acres of this land, or will sell you more, what- ever you want. And the terms of any good man will suit me. Give you what time you need to pay for it, witha small payment down to show you 1rrean business. The price will b> low, $10, $12, $15 to $20 per ecre, owing to loca- tion etc., but it is all good land. The American farmer is coming into his own. If you are looking for land, ‘for lands sake’’ get some close in and close up to the door of big markets, that is, don’t go away off out into the realm of space, hundreds of miles from nowhere, thinking to succeed in the dim and misty future experi- menting with nature. Life is too short for that. Select land where you are sure things always grow and crop failure is never known. Everybody knows the cleared timber lands of the older states are still proving the best on earth. You will succeed it you get that kind. We have them. Write to EDWIN L.
