IMMIGRATION CONVENTION
Central Minnesota immigration
Convention To Be Held at
St. Cloud May l a and Is.

All infOrma tiOn Ia to the effect that
a tide Of immigration will sweep
into Minnesota this year unparalleled
In :the last half dozen years. The
greater proportion of these are pe"-
pie coming from the Eastern and
Middle states and some OF the ad-
Joining Western states. Most Of
them have means and they come
seeking homes where good lands can
lie had at moderate prices. There is
u group Of counties in the central
parto OF Minnesota, including Stearns,
Benton, Sherburne, Morrison,
Wright, Pope. Meeker, Douglas,
Kandiyohi and Todd, which for fer
tility of soil, diversified character of
the country (including prairie. timber
and meadow lands, with lakes,
creeks and rivers) and general re-
sources cannot he excelled anywhere
in the West. There are thousands
of acres of unoccupied lands in these
counties, desirable in every way.
which could be had at reasonable
prices aud which it is desirable to
have occupied and improved: Most
of these lands are convenient to rail
roads, are traversed by good roads,
have neighboring school houses and
churches, with many other advan-
tages which are not tn be found in
newer parts of the country.
It's very important that attention
be u attracted to this part Of the state
and the advantages which it offers,
and it is for this purpose that the
convention la to be held at st. cloud
May IA and Is. 1t will be big one.
A large attendance is already as
sured. Morrison county should be
well represented, sending delegates
from every town, village and district.
The benefits to be derived cannot
we'll be overestimated. Similar con-
ventions held in other parts of the
state have already yielded rich re-
turns.
: The following il the list OF speakers
invited. A number have already
accepted. and there is little doubt
but that all, or nearly all, will be
present:
James j. Hill, president of the
Great Northern; Archbishop Ireland,
Pres. Northrup of the state univer-
sity; Hon. T. L. Schur1neier, st. Paul;
Hon. w. H. Eustis, ex-mayOr of

Economy, Not Fright.

While the lightning has been knock
ing high places off the buildings
in Fergus Falls, the city's electric
light plant has been shut down.
There were complaints about it, So
John Peterson, formerly of Little
Falls and now superintendent of the
Fergus Falls plant, offered the
owing explanations:
"Some people have an idea that
the electric light machinery is shut
down because the dynamo man Is
afraid to run it during a storm. He
doesn't lack courage. The machinery
is shut down to save it. 1t will he
sanfeasy and very possible thing to
damage the machinery $500 worth
during q storm and in case the
machinery is seriously burned it will
necessitate shutting it down for at
least ten days to have it repaired.
In large cities they have extra ma
chimes and take the risk although
the danger is not al great there. We
have over forty miles of wire and it
runs over the hills in the exposed
places and the wires and poles are
ABOUT the only thing for the light
ming to strike. Wehave ordered five
additional pairs of lightning
arresters and as soon as they come
we hope to have the machinery fully
protected. Anyone who cares to see
all electrical display should come
out to the power house during a
storm"
