ANOTHER SOUTH DAKOTA LAND DRAWING. 



A large per cent of the 120,000 people who are ex- 

 pected to file for claims in Mellette and Bennett coun- 

 ties, South Dakota, will pass through Omaha and will 

 be given an opportunity to see the Omaha Land Show at 

 which the resources and opportunities of the entire West 

 will be exploited. Thus it will be possible to directly in- 

 terest thousands of persons who are actually seeking 

 homes and who will be in the proper frame of mind to 

 receive and absorb all the information that is thrust upon 

 them. 



'As an example of the great number 

 of land seekers who will pass through 

 Omaha in October, it is set forth that 

 in 1H04 106,000 registered in Bonesteel. 

 Four years later at the Dallas registra- 

 tion for Tripp county lands 114,000 seek- 

 ers made filings. On these figures is 

 based the estimate that there will be 

 at least 120,000 registrations at Dallas, 

 Gregory, Rapid City' and Chamberlain, 



60,000 of which will go via Omaha, and it will be likely to 

 interest a great many of them in the opportunities offered in 

 the region further west. The South Dakota registrations 

 will be made between October 2 and 21, and the draw- 

 ings begin October 24, while the Land Show will be 

 from the 16th to the 28th. The dates of the show will give 

 the homeseekers an opportunity of visiting in Omaha 

 both before and after they go to South Dakota. 



During the last South Dakota drawings most of the 

 applicants came from Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and other 

 states in the middle West, and the bulk of the coming 

 registrations will be made by people from these states.

Glimpse of Drying Sheds 



All Lumber For 1HC Wagons Is 

 Air-Dried For At Least Two Years 



WOOD that is naturally air-dried retains the sap, which cements it 

 together, rilling up the pores, thus leaving the wood tough and 

 strong. In kiln-dried wood the sap is forced out by the heat, leaving 

 the wood brittle, brashy, and porous easy to break. 



It is much cheaper to build wagons with kiln-dried lumber. But such 

 wagons could never live up to the I H C standard of excellence. That is 

 why all the lumber used in the construction of I H C wagons is air-dried 

 in enormous sheds for at least two years and most of it for three years. 



Weber New Bettendorf Steel King 



are I H C wagons that make you sure of getting the most for your money 

 in the style of wagon you want. 



Weber has stood for all that's best in wagon construction for the past 66 

 years and still maintains its leadership. Farmers who know Weber 

 quality need no further argument. 



New Bettendorf has the only satisfactory tubular steel axle ever 

 put on a wagon. It is the only wagon with an extension reach box 

 no extra reach is needed to lengthen the gear. Removable malle- 

 able sleeves protect the axle and can be replaced when worn. 



Steel King has the only perfect adjustable stake; hollow steel axles 

 and bolsters made to resemble the old wood type; skeins are cast and 

 can easily be repTaced; wheels are "A" grade; wagon boxes of best 

 quality and construction.

 mation from him, or, write to nearest branch house.
