At the st. Paul & Manitoba and North

from the Eastern states, Canada and Eu-
rope indicates that the immigration into

it has been this year-in fact, that the
numbers coming into the New North
west will be greater than ever before
came in one year into the country west Of
the lakes.

MIR. A. E. Johnson, emigration COM
missioner of the st. Paul & Manitoba
railroad, arrived home yesterday merning,
from visit to the cities and villages Of
the Red River valley In Minnesota. He
visited some ten towns and travelled con-
sid erably through the farming sections.
In the towns he found business flourish
ing-the streets full Of teams, the stores
full of customers, meney plenty, and
traders happy to acknowledge that they
have had big business all the fall. In
the towns the number Of shoppers made
it seem as If the holidays were near at
hand. In the country it seemed like
early in the fall. Plows were running
everywhere, and it looked as If all the
broken land would be plowed before
winter set in. The only thing in which
the farmers seemed to be behind hand
was threshing That appeared to be not
more than half done, but the grain had
generally been well taken care Of.
