1t can but be gratifying to Minnesotians to
dustrlous immigrants and that largely
through the efforts of this company the real
merits of our soil snd the advantages of cli-
mate and locality are being more than ever
appreciated by enterprising people of East
ern and neighboring States. Minnesota has
not been so diligently advertised as have
Kansas and Nebraska, nor have such extraor-
dlnary efforts been made to sell their lands
by our land grant companies as have been
made by those of Kaneas and Nebraska.
But the new St. Paul & Manitoba manage
ment has caused the indisputable facts re-
garding the character aud location of its
lands to be made widely known wherever
there was prospect of gaining the best
class of immigrants. 1t has refused to con-
tract its lands to spectators, but has offered
them on tho most liberal terms to actual SET
tiers. and the result appesrs in the above
brief but significant tabulation, which shows
an aggregate of sales to settlers which is not
approached by any other land grant road in
the country. Tho new oomers
are distributing themselves on all
parts of the company's grant, but the most
OF them 60 into the Red River valley and the
larger portion of these have located in the

years. These sales, large rs they are, being
the winter sales, when there was compara-
lively little of immigration or land hunting,
will doubtless be largely exceeded by the
sales of the next three months, and confirm
tho indications OF the present migratory
travel, that Minnesota will have q larger
gain of population this year than ever be-
fore.
ST. PAUL + DULUTH LAND GRANT.
Mr.. Philip s. Harris, manager of tho land
department of the st. Paul & Duluth rail-
road company, has lately published an
interesting pamphlet, the tito page of which
reads % follows: "Homes, fori the Million,
on the Line of the st. Paul l. Duluth Rail-
road, the Best Location in the West for
Small Farmers. The Advantages to Set
tiers of the Country Between St. Paul and
Lake Superior. The Best Country for
Grain, Grass, Stock Raising and the Dairy
I" Business" The matter of the pamphlet
appears to amply sustain the claims OF the
title. The lands are fairly described and the
advantages offered to settlers are clearly stat
ed. We have only space to speak generally

the Coolest Town IN the World.
From the BucYrus Journal. |


Here it may relieve us when the mcrru-
rv has crept into the ninetics, to think of
Il town which humboldt and other travel
lers have pronounced the coolest on the
globe. This is Jakutsk tor YakoctSk)
chief town of the province Of that name
in Eastern Siberia, or on the left bank of
the river Lena, 81 degrees ! minute north
longitude 1l9 degrees A minutes cast
and distant from st. petcrsburgh :595l
miles. The ground remains continually
frozen to the depth of BOO feet, except in
midsummer, when it thaws three feet at
the surface. During ten DAYS in .\u-
gust the thermometer marks s. degrees,
but from November to February it ranges
from ~ to 6s degrees below zero. and the
river is solid ice for nine months out of
the twelve. The entire industry of the
place population :5300-is comprised in
candle works, and vet it is the princi
pal market Of Eastern Siberia for traffic
with the hunting tribes of the Buriats
The former, mostly nomadic. having large
herds of horses and cattle, bring tomarket
butter, which is sent on horse back to the
post of Okhotsk The Buriats, also no.
madic, bring quantities OF skins of sables,
foxes, martens, hares, squirrels and the
like, and many Of them are sold at the
great fair in June, which, with May, is
the active period of the year. In May
the collected goods are conveyed to the
sea ports, whence they are sent in every
direction The merchandise, chiefly furs
and mammoth tusks, sold at fairs, amount
in value to 400, 900 rubles 1890, OO0.)

Some Curious Statistics.

Allowing two square feet to each per
son, the entire population of Boston could
stand on the public garden, with good
deal OF room to spare. The entire pOpu-
lation Of the nited States could stand in
Boston proper, mot including Brighton,
Dorchester, and West Roxbury) The
entire population of the world (now csti-
mated ut l,4lOOOO, 900 could stand Oh
the island of Marthas' vineyard, or in the
space occupied 10y the towns of Boston,
BrOokline, Newton. Nccdhan, Dedham.
Hyde Park and Milton. The State of
Massachusetts could in this way accom-
modatc seventy times the present p0pu-
lation of the world. The entire popula-
ton of the world, placed side by side, and
allowing two feet to each person, would
enclrclc the earth twenty times. The
States of Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, taken together, are us large as
England. Any one the States of Georgia,
Illinois, Iowa and North Carolina is as
large us England. Kansas is as large as
England and Scotland together. Ireland
is about the size of Maine. France is
more than twice as large as England
Wales and Scotland. Texas is thirty
five times as large as Massachusetts, or
as large as Maine, New Hampshire, Yer
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Con
necticut, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Ohio, and
Indiana combined. The entire popula-
ton of the world could be provided for
IN the State of Texas, allowing each man,
woman, and child, four acres of land.
The entire population of the world could
be provided for in the United States, al
lowing each person one and half acres
of land. Boston Transcript.

Within fork where two roads meet.
And form as one broader street
That downward leads, his toll house stands,
Exacting tribute from both hands.
Tall, slender beams, and swinging light
With ropes TO pull them down at night,
Like well-sweeps lean, or 1ishrods sly.
To catch the fishes going by.
Here has he been, year in and out.
For halt century, about;
Watching the travel, up and down,
To and from the market town;
Exchanging greetinge, jokes and news,
And sometimes, briefly, weighty views:
As much a landmark as atree
Has this old toll man come to be.
With bits of Information rife.
From panoramic peeps of life,
A woven web of history
OF all that region formed has he.

The faintest sound of hOof or wheel,
The story stops, and strides he out
To man the gate, warder stout,
He meets all comers. day and night,
And, like star, his lantern light
Cleans in summer flashes in cold
When does he sleep, this watchInan Old:
huckster's sorry horse he checks,
And doleful fowls stretch out their necks,
While on the box, a sunken heap,
The greasy huckster snores asleep.

And pays the gate fee back from mill.

Coming and going very far.

They pass the gate and do not pay
There is no charge to church to-day.
With mirth and shout and bounding stecd,
The groom and bride their party lead;
Or, slowly vending, comes train
Whose charge will not pass by again.
Or, 10! the royal pageant see

Along the snowy turnpike track

And sleiSh-bclled horses rush and smoke,
And giddy riders laugh and joke.
