by government in work at the falls, and
it should be stopped"
1t is evident that immigration to
the Northwest during the coming
season will be the largest in the his
tory of the country. Hard times in
the East tend to force people to seek
new homes in the west. The fact
that the public domain is being rap
idly exhausted also tends to stimulate
immigration. There are thousands
and thousands of acres of the best OF
land yet belonging to the government
but the heavy immigration of this year
will result. in taking up all of the
public land of easy access to the ship
ing points and those who come here
after must take up with second OF
third choice. What steps is Mime
sofa taking to secure part of these
immigrants! All ought not to be al
lowed to go beyond us.
A gentleman in Dodge county has
written communication to the Wi
mona Republican showing why Gov.
Hubbard should not appoint Dunnell
to succeed Senator Mcmillan. al
though the reasons are said to be
sound and conclusive the Republican
thinks it unnecessary to publish the
letter for the following reasons:
In the first place Mcmillan has not
vet made vacancy in the Senate. But
| if he should at some future time &c
so, it may reasona&J pe assumed
| that Gov Hubbard is by no means q
fool. When called upon to perform
so unusual and so grave a duty as the
appointment of United States Sena
| tor he will exhibit at least some Re
gard for the public interests the pub
lie choice, and the public sense Of fit
ness, That he will in such case Sc
lect man of character united with
ability, tits only fair to him to antici
pate. That he will not appoint Mr.
Dunnell is already morally certain.
One reason why so few papers stano
ready to fight for the interests of far
mers as opposed to monopolies is that
farmers are often not appreciative
and are slow to reciprocate favors
shown them. We believe that of the
city papers, those who are working il
the interest of the Millers Association
and are Systematically writing dow1
all grievances of the tillers of the
soil have as great a subscription lis
among farmers as those who are man
fully laboring in the farmers inter
ests. This ought not so to be. LIE
farmers subscribe only for those
papers who are friendly to their inter
ests, show disposition to help sup
port journals who will fight monopo
lies, such as the Millers Association
and railroads that are guilty of dis
eliminating against them, ant
there will be more papers on the sid
of the farmer.

all hail! She is banner wheat stat
of the Union. A dispatch datet
Washington, January 18th, says
The department Of agriculture ha
issued its annual report and it show
Minnesota to be the greatest whea
state in the Union. It's wheat crop il
1883 was 33,773,200 bushels. and it's
acres in wheat 259, 1914. Onlytwo State
Indiana and California, had so larg
an acreage, while the yield in Indians
is twenty five per cent. below that o
Minnesota, and in California the yielt
was the same per acre as in Minnesota
but as the quality of the wheat wa
! far inferior in albuminoid and life
J sustaining qualities, Minnesota S RICH
to the first place as a wheat state i
fully established. Her yield per acr
was about fifteen per cent. in exces
of the average throughout the Unite,
States. The report shows the result
of large number of experiments il
London with wheat from Russia
India and the United States, provin
that those from Minnesota and tina
section surpass India and all parts O
the United States in quality.
