settlers and farmers who have located in
the territory between Devils Lake. Mouse
River and the Turtle Mountains
This is only carrying out the we'll
known policy of the Manitoba
to keep pace with emigration, if indeed
not to lead it. This place, Crookston, is a
city of 5000 or 8, 600 people, and it appears
to be in prosperous condition. In addi-
ton to the splendid farming country, from
which Crookston draws her support, she is
developing manufacturing interests of no
small proportions, which will gradually eX-
pand and extend until the
RED LAKE INDIAN RESERVATION
is opened, when this place will no doubt
become the distributing point for all build
ing material required in the immense prai-
RE country beyond. Even now lumber and
all kinds of building material are
manufactured here as cheap as
in Minneapolis, and clear saving in freight
for 800 miles. The work on the CrOokston
& Duluth railroad will be pushed vigorously
this season, probably fifty to seventy-fve
miles will be finished by fall in time to
move the crops. Mr.. j. S. Trail has the
contract for grading the first ten miles from
CrookSton, and proposes to commence next
week and finish By the LIST Of July. The
work for the first twenty-five miles will be
easy and rapid, but after that the line
strikes the timber belts in the eastern part
OF Polk county and considerable clearing
will be required, besides several small
streams to be bridged. After leaving the

THE CROOKSTON & DULUTH
road penetrateS heavily-timbered country
along the head waters of the Clearwater
and Sand Hill rivers, cutting diagonally
through the thirteen townships" which in
1884 were opened to settlement subject to
homestead and presumption, and which,
when all occupied, furnishes 160 acres to
about LOGO families. This section east of
Crookston is we'll settled now, and will
naturally improve rapidly under the stim-
illus of railroad and market facilities. The
arrival of salt water emigrants in the Red
River valley and North Dakota is larger
this season than any previous year, and
they are not slow to secure a good home
stead, which in many cases had
been selected by friends in advance.
The foreign immigration this year was stim-
ulated by the visit in Europe last winter by
a number of Scandinavians settled here,
who
WENT HOME FOR A VISIT,
and proved themselves very good immigra
ton agents, as they could speak from actual
experience. immigration from the states is
much larger than last season. and the
amount of emigrant movabIes received at
the various stations far exceeds last year.
Labor is in demand and wages very good.
Farmers look forward to good crops, and
with fair crops and moderate prices the
farmers and the new Corners will prosper.
The question of stock raising in the Red
River valley should receive every encour-
agement from the press, as our farmers
should and must relinquish extensive grain
raising and adopt diversified farming, for
which this county is so well adapted.

tributed not little to newspaper literature
upon the subjects of history, science and
sociology. Mr.. Conser came to Dakota in
1888 to engage in the practice of law. He
has battled all his life against rings and
schemers, is deliberate and fluent speaker
and formidable in debate. and has few
superiors in the management and control

This trait was brought into timely requisi-
ton in the late Fargo convention,
when Mr.. Conser broke over
the compromise of the committee
OH admission and division, which
compromise was Endorsed by the conven-
ton and secured the adoption of a resolu-
ton requiring the seventh standard parallel
to be substituted for the forty-sixth in the
event of division, thus securing the only
legislation upon the main subject which
brought the convention together. This
legislation has caused the committee on
territories in congress to drop the forty
sixth parallel altogether and substitute the
seventh standard instead. Mr.. Conser has
always been opposed to the division of
Dakota. He wrote in opposition to divis-
ion before the Sioux Falls convention of
1888, and his writings were copied at the
time by the papers of the territory with APP

ENORMOUS EMIGRATION.
Agent johnson Raises the Hopes of
DEVILS Lake People.
New Settlers in Large Numbers Ex-
pected This Year.

A. e. Johnson, the st. Paul emigration
agent of the Manitoba road, was in the city
over Sunday, and before leaving Monday
morning called at the Inter-Ocean Office.
In an interview concerning immigration to
this country Mr. johnson said:
Foreign emigration to the United States
will be larger this year than it has been since
1882. The principal gain will be from Scan
dinavia and Germany, for these reasons:
In Scandinavia the times are bad gener-
ally. Norway's shipping interests are de-
pressed Sweden has experienced almost a
national panic. Many commercial and finan-
cial failures have occurred. Property has
greatly deprecated in price. There is less
demand in England for the lumber produced
in Sweden, and the iron interests are also at a
stand STILL On the other hand, there is re-
yival of good times in the United States, and
the letters from those who are already here
stimulate others to come. l dare say we
have sold three times as many pas
senger tickets purchased here and
sent there by friends and relatives) in the
past four months as we did in the correspond
ing time last year. This has been especially
active in North Dakota and Northwestern
Minnesota. The German emigration is stim-
ulated by the depressing times and the strict
ness of the military rule, by which all young
men arriving at certain age are compelled
to enter the service. We are getting better
share OF
GERMAN EMIGRATION
than heretofore Domestic emigration is bet
ter than for two years past. Out of our Office
at st. Paul we have booked for North Dakota
and Northwestern Minnesota this year six
times as many as last year. The great bulk
of these go to the DEVILS Lake region In
fact, the Devils Lake country is the only
place where the best government lands may
be had. The domestic immigration comes
from Southern Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa
and some from Northern Illinois. They come
better prepared than any other class of
immigrants by reason of their experience
in Western farming, and they also have
greater means to start with. In the past few
days we have booked thirty families Of Rus
SLAMS for Devils Lake who were stopping
temporarily in st. Paul and at one time we
booked no less than eleven carloads of emf
grant movables. These Russians make a
good class of citizens. They come from q
prairie country in Russia and dispense en-
tirely with wood or coal, hay and straw being
utilized for fuel. Altogether 1 consider the
present condition and the future outlook for
North Dakota all that could be expected.
There is no boom, but steady and healthy
growth.
Mr.. johnson said the people of this re-
gion should turn their attention to stock
raising. He believed our stock show was

BISMARCK. May 14.-Your correspondent Is
officially informed that a new company is
about to take hold of railroad schemes in this
part of Dakota, and that by next Sunday he
can give the outlines of u great scheme for
charging the railway facilities of the east
Missouri slope, and also will probably be able
to say that the actual work has begun....
Thirteen saloonkeepers have applied for Ii
censes this year, a loss of three from last
year. AT Hancock, about fifty miles north
of here on the river, extensive Improvements
are being made. A large warehouse is being
built, and, as matter of course, newspaper

who has rendered acceptable service as priest
in the Catholic church here for over year
past, has been recalled by Right Rev.
Alexius Edelbrock, the Benedictine abbot,
and Rev. Father Wolfgang, o. S. B., from
Mortified, takes his place. Gov. Pierce
will return on Sunday, the Both inst, and will
probably be rendered public reception. =.
A large amount of real estate is being trans
ferred in quiet way. =. Memorial Day will
be celebrated by the Grand Army post here
in the usual manner. Some of our leading

lishment of a club composed of gentlemen of

Delegate Clifford Near-sighted.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON. May 14.-One of the lead
ing Republicans of the territory said to me
to-day: Delegate Clifford is not only near
sighted, but short-sighted." Upon inquiry
as to the cause of the frank avowal, m
friend said:
Clifford can't see five feet away from his
nose. He knows he is hard of hearing in the
eyes, and yet he wont wear spectacles. He
passes his friends and acquaintance in the
capitol building, and they don't know that he
refuses to speak to them because he don't see
them. They think he is too proud and stuck
up to know anybody. 1t isn't creditable to
the judge, and it certainly doesn't do Dakota
any good. A pair of glasses might have kept
Clifford in congress for a long time. Without
them, he is serving his first and last term. He
will not be renominated.
That is peculiar thing to introduce into
politics, isn't it? Glasses and eyes. If
the test comes into popular favor, poll
ticians will have to be Disseminated for
and against by the style and number of
their spectacles. Of course. the civil SER
vice commission will catch on, and make
the same test for the clerical service. Is
our civilization failure?

Harris has vetoed the ordinance to discon-

reasons that as the special police are paid for
their services by the Law and Order league,
and as they are paid to maintain order and
enforce the law, no decent and law-abding
citizen can object to the ordinance as it now
stands. There will be a warm time over the
measure in the council at its next meeting.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR.
After his term Of Office as consul expired
he returned to Chicago and organized
syndicate to build the Dominion Telegraph
company, and was one of its three charter
members and its general manager for the
first two years of its construction. He
then returned to Chicago just in time to be
burned out in the great fire, which con-
sumed most of the city, in 1871, and bank
rupted nearly all the fire insurance COM
panies in the country. This gave rise to
an immense amount of litigation iii adjust
ing and collecting the losses of the 100, 600
people who were burned out, and to this
branch fl the law Mr.. Ryan devoted special
attention and realized handsomely. About
this time the question of mutual or CO.
operative life insurance now so extensively
carried on in the Masonic, Odd Fellows,
Knights of Honor and other lodges, was
being agitated, and Mr. Ryan both wrote
and spoke

Many of them come back to their

up choice stock. They will have unusual OPP
portunities in that respect this year, for Fill
more county is now very strong in the differ
ent varieties of blooded stock. John Milne s
Angus cattle, which ne went to Scotland for,
are as good as the best. Jere Allis has an
elegant herd of Holsteins. William

excellent herds of Shorthorns. Charles Lamb,
with his choice family OF milking Shorthorns,

Long and Miner breed Poland China swine in
their purity, while Daniel Currie holds to reg

E. II. COnser.

E. P. Conser, delegate to the late Fargo
convention from Dickey county, was born
in Clarion county, Pennsylvania, May 16,
1882. He is of the old Pennsylvania Ger
man stock. His ancestors were remarkable
for longevity. His grandfather was with
Washington at the surrender of CORVALLIS.
and lived to the age of 103 years. His
father was an intimate friend of the
Freulinghuysen families, and took an
active part in the politics of
his times. Mr.. Conser was raised on a
