! The number Of people going west now
is simply wonderful. Each day the
Northern Pacific and Manitoba trains
are loaded down with people from the
east going to Dakota, Montana, Wash,
1ngton and Oregon. From one who has
taken an account of the number of cars
filed with en- grants on the Northern
Pacific road for the six days, March 4th
to 9th inclusive, we learn that 81 cars
were required. Do the jobbers of ST..
Paul and Minneapolis realize the impor:

do not go that distance empty handed,

no furniture nor tools with them. These
goods and supplies should be furnished

United States Senator, s. J. r. MoMil-
Ian. John D. is a CRUSADER and more
than once has he carried his point in the
face of strong opposition. He is quick
