Western Minnesota holds out great
ct Inducements to immigrants in
search of new homes than any other
portion OF our new country and all of
those inducements which may be held
out by any part Of the state exist here
in an extreme degree. Asthis is the case
it ought to be an easy matter with a
little of united effort on the part off
our citizens to secure a full share of
the coming stream of immigration
for Stevens county.
With out expressing an opinion i'll
regard to the controversy which has
been agitating the Board of Trade of
late-the principals in the case are
abundantly able to settle that matter
the TRIBUNE believes that the evil of
falseIyreporting the commercial stand |
ing of the various business men of Nor !
ris to commercial agencies is much less
than was supposed three weeks ago,
also that the one who has been most
blamed is not the one most at fault.
This week we copy portions of an
extended article headed the "Land of
Golden Grain" from paper issued by
the Land Department of the Manito-
ba read, because il contains facts
about western Minnesota which are
well worthy Of general distribution.
Were the facts concerning western
Minnesota generally known in the
East and in Europe, these fertile
prair:es would soon be covered with as
dense population as they can sup
port. A knowledge of this state is all
that is needed to bring immigrants to
it.
The front room of the lower story
of the TRIBUNE building has been
finished and G. Fl. Allyn is now NOV
ing his hardware stock from the old
ABanlx of Norris building into it.
Besides keepinga stock of hardware
Mr.. Allyn has wagons, seeders, plows,
tanning mills, scales and other farm
sng necessities for sale, is agent for
the Mccormick Harvesting Ma
ehinery company, for the Minnesota
Chief and Buffalo Pitts threshers and
engines, is agent also for some of the
best insurance companies in existance.
In short Mr.. Allyn is prepared to
supply all the needs of farmers for
abardware, farm machinery or insur-
ance. Mr.. Allyn enjoys the conf
dence of all who know him and we
predict for him All active trade dur
ing the coming season. lin need of
