States presented protests not only
from the railway clerks themselves,
but from business men and associa-'
tions, who said the efficiency of the

;he legislature of that state calling up-

LAND SN THE GREAT
m
qi at
Franoitas
OF TEXAS
Is being bought and settled by a splendid class
of people of Nebraska and the Northwest. Before
buying'^ these men thoroughly inspected the land,
tested the climate and investigated conditions.
The climate is ideal. The rainfall is ample
No costly irrigation ditches are required. The
soil is productive. It is especially adapted to the
growing of
ORANGES, FIGS AND ALL
CITRUS
f
Trees planted now will in the course of a very
few years return an income to the owner annual-
ly that will make him independent.
This land adjoins the beautiful little city of
Francitas, the pride of a prosperous Nebraska
colony. No better land can be found, in the gulf
coast country.
The Soil is a chocolate saiidy loam. The land
is well located. It is in the rain belt. Good
water can be secured at little cost and artesian
water at from 300 to 500 feet. If you are tired of
the cold winters and the hot winds of the sum-
mer, investigate the
SGliwind-ner Addition
Buy your lands, now, set out your trees and
they will grow and work for you, while you at-
tend to your business in the north. The winters
are mild and pleasant and the summers are cool.
It is never hot and it is never cold. Your neigh-
bor lives in Francitas. Write to him and ask him
what he thinks.
The population is increasing and the land area will never in-
crease. This is your opportunity. Good fruit land will rapidly
increase in value. Do not pass this by or yiju will regret it.
