On Saturday last the Great Northern
pulled more loaded cars out of Fergus
Falls east bound than ever before in it's
existence. No less than 462 cars went
out during the day, of which 400 were
loaded with wheat and 81 with stock.
The road seemed to move the business
with little or no friction Fergus Falls

One striking thing about the North
west is the long days of summer. The
country is so big that it takes the sun
all night to go down. One can read the
newspapers in the Red river valley till
near 10 o'clock at night by daylight.
Perhaps here is one of the secrets of the
rapid maturity of the grain, root and
vegetable crops. This country has over
200 hours more light during May, June
and July than you have at Indianapolis,
and light is the great factor in growth.

Minnesota has 1,300,017 population
Ten years ago the population was 780,
77S In 1870 it was 439, 1905 The gain
of the past decade is very considerably
greater than was the total population of
1870. Minnesota does not appear at all
in the federal enumerations until 1850,
when it was credited with 6.O77 people
In 1860 it had 172, O23 1t is hard to real
ize that there are eight times as many
people in the state as there were in the
war times. The average rate of increase
for the whole country from 1870 to 1880
was 80 per cent, while Minnesota's gain
was 771 per cent. From 1880 to 1890 the
gain of Minnesota has been some ga per
cent-nearly three times the rate of the
country at large. - ~
