Speaking of the increase in the pop
ulation Of North Dakota, The Bismark
Tribune says: "The increase in the
population of North Dakota is steady
and continual. At the last election
nearly $4,000 votes were cast, and as it
was an off year there were probably
several thousand voters who did not
go to the polls,as we'll as number Ct re-
cent immigrants not yet entitled to
vote. so at the next presidential eiec-
ton it is fair to presume that the mum.
Der of votes will exceed than at the
recent election by 5000 to 10000
There was a large immigra ton to the
state last year, through the efforts OF
railroad companies which brought in
large colonies, and Of individual set,
tiers who came to the state with their
families, assured that in few states
we're there offered better opportunities
than in North Dakota. This immigra.

j. o. Perkins is another old.timer
in North Dakota who has unbounded
faith in the fertility of Ramsey county
soil, and in the ultimate prosperity of
the farmers in this section of the state.
Mr. Perkins came to Fargo with the
advent of the Northern Pacific road
to that point. He sold graders sup
plies at Casselton, and when the road
was pushed through to Bismarck. he
came here and squatted on the land
he is now farming, hauling the lumber
for his buildings by team from Lari-
more, the Great Northern terminus at
that time. MI. Perkins operates a
creamery on his farm, located six miles
east of this city, and is making a great
success of the undertaking. His
butter commands a good sale and fancy
price owing to its superior quality.
By using a liberal supply of brains and
energy in conducting his farming
operations, Mr.. Perkins has met with
a %lattering success. We need more
farmers like him.
