Well Pleased With the Red River Valley.

Joe Putts of south of town returned last week from a prospecting trip to the Red River Valley of North Dakota. He visited ChaS. H. Pfeffer, a former student at St. Joseph s College, now located at Fargo, and was shown all over the territory about Fargo and Grand Forks. He was very much pleased with the country in that locality and was especially pleased with a section of land about fourteen miles from Fargo, which he may buy, later. Two of Joe’s boys expect to go out there to look around next month, and if they like the country well enough to go on the farm Joe will buy it. While crops were fine there—in fact Joe says he never saw such crops—he and his wife do not care to leave Jasper county, where he has always had three square meals a day and had a little pocket money left. He thinks, however, that land will go to SIOO per acre in the vicinity of Fargo in a short time, and if the boys want to locate there he wHI put up the wherewith for a good farm. ;
