Put Your Money 

 In a New Country 



Put your money in a new country invest it where it will prove worth 

 while along the Pacific Coast extension of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. 

 Paul Railway in the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho and Washington. 



The building of this new line opens up a country full of money making 

 possibilities for the investor, the merchant, the workingman and the profes- 

 sional man, as well as for the farmer, the fruit grower and the stockman. 



The investor will find excellent opportunities to secure rich farm lands 

 now selling at $10 per acre, and upwards, which are certain to increase in value 

 within the next few years. 



The merchant, the workingman and the professional man should avail them- 

 selves of the splendid openings offered in the new towns along this latest trans- 

 continental railway. 



In the Dakotas three new towns Lemmon, Butte County, South Dakota; 

 Hettinger, Adams County, North Dakota; and Bowman, Bowman County, North 

 Dakota have recently been established on the Pacific Coast extension of the 



Chicago 



Milwaukee & St. Paul 



Railway 



A little over three months ago the sites of these towns were open prairie 

 lands. Today, at each place, a well built town, with a population of close to 

 500, is established; stores of all kinds are represented; also banks, hotels, restau- 

 rants, trades and professions. But there is plenty of room for more. 



The farmer will find in this newly opened country the best agricultural open- 

 ings in America today. 



In the Dakotas, and in Montana, along the new line, the soil is a dark loam 

 with a clay subsoil; good water is plentiful; rainfall is ample to raise the crops; 

 the climate is healthful; the air is dry and invigorating; winters are mild; growing 

 seasons are long. The deeded lands sell at $10 per acre, and upwards. Last 

 season many farmers made enough money from the first year's crops to pay for 

 their land. 



The Judith Basin, in central Montana, offers exceptional opportunities in 

 farming, particularly in wheat and alfalfa raising, as does also the country along 

 the new line in Washington. 



The fruit grower will find a particularly good field along the new line in 

 Washington. Apples, pears, plums, cherries, apricots and small fruits grow well 

 there. Last year hundreds of acres of bearing orchards produced crops which 

 brought as much as $500 to $600 per acre. 



The stockman will have no difficulty in finding suitable grazing lands at low 

 prices in the Dakotas and Montana along the new line. Cattle graze almost all 

 the year round on the nutritious grasses, with little or no protection from the 

 weather, and fatten without being fed any grain whatever. 



Pamphlets describing these openings are free for the asking.
