He also wants to know If there, Is any unoccupied 'government land In' this country or vicinity. In general he wants to know what opportunity there is for a man who Is willing to work and wants to make a home. . There are good opportunities here for. industrious people who want to make homes. Any one' with averge ability good health and economy can in . a few years have a good home all their own. Instances are not infrequent where the settler has effected a com bination that has placed ' him at the head of a large and constantly increas ing family to support him more or less In his declining years. There are many Independent and Well-to-do residents of this county who dbmmenced barn-handed and almost baie-backed to make themselves homes In this country of wonderful climate, .soil and resources. , Their success is not due to the pos- . Hesslon of unusual talent or extraor dinary exertion. It Is. the reward of patient toll and industry. It will be of great advantage to the settler If he has a few hundred dollars Cash at his disposal to make a start. It will give him a chance to Bpend more time making his-farm productive, In stead of having to work for others to get coin to run his ranch. Any one who has an enduring taste and appetite for piscatorial viands can live here at an expense which will be merely nominal.
