ties of the state.
Last year we raised of the above
grain products $4,000 bushels. This
year our wheat crop alone will reach
far above those figures and the other
cereals will swell the number to 125,-
900 bushels. Of the 46,000,00O acres
! comprising North Dakota, only 100000
acres were farmed the present year,
leaving not less than 100000 acres of
farming land untitled and for the most
part unbroken. The 5000, 600 acres not
taken into account is in many places
adapted to agriculture, and what is
not, is we'll adapted to grazing, or to.
the production of hay. Half million
sheep thrive on the ranges, with room

and most representative conventions
which has ever assembled on this
continent in the interests of the set
tlement of the great Northwest, and
their deliberations, extending over
some three days, will doubtless do
a great deal towards suggesting
feasible plans which will result in
setting in again the great tide of
immigration into this section of the
United States. Fully 300 delegates.
were present, and the legislative hall
in the state capitol presented an ami
mated appearance, which reminded
one of the recent legislative sessions
when special occasions drew large
and interested audiences. While the
delegates were getting acquainted
Seibert's orchestra furnished short
programme.
There were quite number of politi-
clans among the delegates, among them
being noticed, Congressman F. M. Ed
DIV. of Glencoe; State Senator Henry
Keller, c. A. Moody, the new county
auditor of Roseau county; Gov. John
Miller and Lieut.. Gov. Worst, of
North Dakota; Senator w. N. Roach,
of North Dakota, and a number of
others represented this class among the
delegates. Theodore L. Schurmeier, f.
V. Smalley, D. r. McGinnis, Hopewell
Clarke, H. c. McNair and William j.
Footner were conspicuous as st. Paurs s
hustlers in the convention. Minneap-
oils was represented by Hon. R.. G.
Evans, F. G. MILAN, w. S. Pardee, T.
V. Collins, H Danforth Dickinson, j.

op Gilbert, who offered an impressive
prayer, after which Gov. Clopgh well

deposit had not intended that there
should be such a waste. This great loss
might be overcome. Today the people
of Minnesota were getting from 81 to
81. .25 per ton out of the ore, while the
people of Pittsburg were getting from
IS to 5000 per ton out of the same ore
If the people of the Northwest took
proper advantage of the situation they
would get the So or $500 per ton. AT tie
present prices of coal here the IRON
could be more cheaply manufactured
right here than in Pittsburg- The ad-
vantages in rates-of coal over iron
made it actually cheaper to manutac-
ture here than in Pittsburg.
Mr.. Gridley- then referred to the PROP
ability of the great saving in the cost
of reduction of ores by electricity and
in the event of the Improvement OF
this process Duluth would have an
enormous advantage through her great
water power soon to be developed. He
also proposed a sort of local option law,
whereby each city in the state might
vote to exempt manufacturing con-
Germs from taxation for ten years. This
would bring to the Northwest the man
ufacturing industries to which 1t was
entitled.
After presenting Hon. T. M. DAILY,
minister of the interior of the Canadians
government, Chairman Schurmeier pre-
sented ex-Gov. Worst, Who discussed
''The Resources of North Dakota as
follows:- 1.-The resources of: a new state
like North Dakota at best is conjee-'
ture The statistician may elaborate
upon it's production-its crops of wheat,
oats barley rye, fax, corn, hay and
potatoes of the number of cattle,horses,i
swine and sheep within its boundaries,
i to say nothing of its native coal and
building stone, and yet the full states.

which goes away and never returns.
This class of labor is shiftless, unrelia-
ble,, wasteful and forces the citizen in
terests into the minority. Though the
actual income of the state amounts to
$50,o00.O 900 or $60,000,O00, the major por-
ton of 1T is carried outside of the state
in the pockets of transient laborers, or
for imported supplies.
Even at the depressed prices for all
cereal products, could the money ac-
tually received for them be retained
within the state, the labor having been
performed by the farmers themselves,
Which implies smaller farms and
greater number of farmers, and the
money spent at home, the common
wealth would be enriched many mill
ion dollars. The net balance under the
. bonanza system of conducting farm op-
erations is not a fair test by which to
treasure the resources of the state.
Unfortunately, North Dakota still ad-
heres to the peanut system'-produc-
ing raw material-notwithSta landing the
economic axiom that where raw ma
terial is converted into the finished

twenty years the assessed valuation OF
the state rose from nothing to $S3.630,-
553. BY 1900 it will double it's present
valuation. On a liberal basis our
ranges will support 100000 sheep,
100000 cattle and 100000 horses at one
time, while the acres farmed and farm

scientifically, according to North Da-
kota conditions, instead of each man

increased six fold, if not ten.

Every one now there and every one

mittee rooms are at the disposal of the
convention and it's committee. Report
was referred.
The committee on permanent organi-
zation, T. W. Hugo, Duluth, chairman,
reported that the committee recon-
mended that the temporary organiza-
ton be made permanent. Motion was
amended by e. V. Smalley by the adj
dition of two secretaries. Albert Whyte,
Tacoma, and ]. A. Peet, Duluth, were
named. Following this came a gen.
eral nomination of vice presidents,
which was begun by. E. V. Smalley who
stated that the convention was hon
ored by the presence of Hon. Mr.. Daley,
minister of the interior, Canadian gov
ernment and he would move that Mr..
Daley be made a vice president of
the convention. The suggestion was
heartily received, and a motion was
made in his favor. Several nomina-
tions followed, placing a number of
prominent Northwestern men in nom
ination as vice presidents. The nom-
nations were cut off by motion of
T. w. Hugo, who moved to refer the
matter or vice preSluenlS TO a commit
tee, and that each satet have a vice
president. This motion prevailed, and
Hon. P. H. Kelly. and T. p. Cater, Ida
no, were named by Chairman Schur-
meier as the committee. Chairman
Schurmeier then said he had great
pleasure in presenting as the first
speaker a man so well known in the
Northwest that he eneded no further
introduction to the representative men
of the Northwestern states than the
mere mention of his name, Hon. James
J. Hill, of the Great Northern railway
system. Mr.. Hill was greeted with a
most hearty reception and in a delib-
crate manner delivered his address,
which was in substance a history of
the business growth of the Northwest
Mr.. Hill is by no means an easy speak
er; that is, it seems to be hard work
for him; his command of language is
not free, and, he speaks very slowly.

and is the. result of many years obser-
walton and experience. Mr.. Hills adj

1.-The severity of winter is an explod-
ed myth, in so far as it materially in
terferes with the general prosperity of
the country. In many respects it is a
blessing rather than a curse. No cli-
mate is more conducive to domestic
happiness, because in no country is the
family relation more closely cemented.
The long winter nights afford time for

GRIDLEY, OF DULUTH,
Discusses the Iron Industries OF
the Northeast.


After the recess had been taken E.
C. Gridley, of Duluth, was called upon
to discuss "The Iron Industries of the
Northwest" He said in part:
Contrary to the general SITUATION
the deposit of the Mesaba range is horl-
zontal, lying under the grass roots, SO
that a man with a horse and ploW may
turn up shipping ore. In his OPINION
the Almighty had concealed that Mesa
ba deposit until the present time for
good purpose. 1t cost 80 cents per ton
to mine and load it, so cents to take it
to the lake, and another 80 cents to take
it to Cleveland, to say nothing of the
tariff to Pittsburg, the cost of manu-
facture and then return charges. There
was a great waste of money some
