THE Northern Pacific Country,
FROM THE
GREAT LAKES TO THE PACIFIC, TRAVERSES The Great Wheat Belt, Grazing Range, and the Vast Gold and Silver Regions OF
Minnesota, Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon.
The most attractive regions for new settlement are unquestionably the grain and grazing lauds along the line of the Northern Pacific railroad in Minnesota, Dakota. Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington Territory. No section is settling so rapidly. None offers such advantages to the farmer and stock raiser. The Northern Pacific Railroad com- pany now offers for sale
4,000,000 Acres of the Most Productive Wheat Lands
In the world, adjacent to its completed road in Dakota and Minnesota, which lands are now ready for the plow. No failure of crops to apprehend. Average yield of twenty-two bushels of wheit to the acre in Dakota last year. Twenty-five to thirty bushels of wheat not an exceptional erop. No agricultural industry is more profitable than wheat farming upon these rich and rolling plains. The country is well watered. Plenty of timber for domestic purposes. Low freight rates on farm products and settlers' household goods.
PRICE OF LANDS. East of the Missouri River, in Dakota and Minnesota, $4 per acre, with a rebate of 25 per cent. for acreage eultivated within two years from purchase. West of the Missouri River, along its completed road in Western Dakota and Montana. and in the beautiful valley of the Yellow- stone, the company offers a large area of fine farming lands at the government price of $2.50 per acre (with a charge of 10 cents per acre to cover cost of surveying. &c.) admirably adapted for stock raising and general farming purposes. The Northern Pacific is now completed aud in operation to a point ninety miles west of Miles City, on the Yellowstone River in Montana, and will soon be opened 200 miles further west. Settlers who go into this new region will have the advantage of a choice of locations and lands, and of the rapid rise in the value of property. The climate of the Pacific country is bracing and healthful.
IN THE MOUNTAIN REGION OF MONTANA
Soon to be traversed by the road there are many lovely and fertile valleys awaiting settlement, and vast wealth in Gold, Silver, Copper and Iron offers fine openings in every kind of mining enterprise, Upon the Pacific slope the Northern Pacific railroad is now in operation from Puget Sound to Pen d'Oreille Lake in Northern Idaho. 10,000,00- acres of magnificent timber and wheat lands of unparalleled fertility in Oregon and Washington Territory are offered for sale by the company in the immediate vicinity of rail and water transportation at the rate of $2 60) per acre.
