"INDIANLAND AND WONDERLAND." 

 Perhaps the most sumptuous book ever issued in 

 the interest of the West is that bearing the above 

 title, written by Olin D. Wheeler and published by 

 Charles S. Fee, General Passenger and Ticket Agent 

 of the Northern Pacific Railroad, St. Paul. It is 

 written in a most entertaining style, is beautifully 

 printed and most handsomely illustrated. It de- 

 scribes the country along the line of the Northern 

 Pacific and tells everything a traveler wants to know. 

 If any person can glance through this work, much 

 less read it, and not feel an irresistible impulse to 

 study the wonderland it describes there is something 

 lacking. We advise every reader to send for a copy, 

 for it is an ornament to the library as well as a very 

 useful addition to it.

I Will Get You Settlers, 



If your irrigation enterprise is not doing well for 

 the want of settlers, and can pay a salary of $1,000.00 

 and 3 per cent, commission on water sales and 1% 

 per cent, on land sales, try me. I make a business of 

 colonizing and am very successful. Settled 75,000 

 acres of Government land during 1893. Am thor- 

 oughly posted on the U. S. land laws and irrigation 

 of all kinds. I work on a different basis from any 

 one else one that brings in the settlers. References: 

 present employers. Also refer, by permission, f> 

 THE AGE. Can begin work on 30 days' notice.

Care of THE AGE, Chicago. 



Among all the hotels of Denver (where on Sept. 3 

 the Irrigation Congress meets in convention) the 

 Windsor is perhaps the best known. 



When opened to the public a few years ago it be- 

 came famous, not only as the leading hotel of the 

 city but of the entire West. Its sumptuous dining- 

 rooms, parlors, hallways and rotunda are by far the 

 handsomest and largest of any hotel in the West, and 

 its service and cuisine second to none. 



In the important matter of location this hotel has 

 no superior in Denver, being especially well situated 

 for the patronage of tourists and business men. 



The Windsor is conducted on the American plan 

 exclusively, at the very low rate of from $2 to $3.50 

 per day, to conform with the times. And to anyone 

 sending their name and address a beautiful souvenir 

 illustrated book will be sent by the manager, C. M. 

 Hill.

Desks 



The exceedingly dry weather has placed corn on 

 the top shelf and, judging from the active market, 

 wool is a close second. The dry weather has not been 

 the means of creating the firm market on wool, how- 

 ever, but the cause may be assigned to two reasons: 

 First, upon actual demand by the manufacturers, 

 notwithstanding tariff tinkering; and, second, on 

 account of the anticipated tariff revision many mill- 

 ions of sheep have been driven to the slaughtering 

 pen. We are creditably informed by Messrs. Silber- 

 man Bros., 212 Michigan street, Chicago, Ills., who, 

 by the way, are one of the largest wool commission 

 houses in the West, that the demand for best grades of 

 wool at this time is more active than for two years past. 

 Speculators, with an eye to business, think wool is 

 good property, and this, together with above reasons, 

 makes a decidedly firm market. 



Any shippers having wool to dispose of would find 

 it to their advantage to correspond with the above 

 firm, and market their wool in the next two or three 

 weeks, while the market is strong, and before there is 

 any possible show for foreign wools coming in free, -j
