a colony of $50 people who settled on
lands all the way from the northern
boundary of Ramsey county to the
Turtle Mountains. The people he will
bring this year are men Of considerable
means who will undoubtedly buy
Ramsey county unimproved farms and
erect comfortable buildings upon them
this summer. Mr.. Brooks says that
G. e. Clark, the mayor of his home
town, bought three farms in this
county and paid cash for them, simply
upon MI. Brooks personal rscommen-
dalton. John Scraggs also bought two
farms without a personal inspection,
and later on when he came up to look
them over he was so we'll satisfied that
he not only intends to move here at
once, but buy more land. This shows
what influence Elder Brooks has with
his home people in Missouri, and the
good work he is doing in settling up
this fertile section of the state. Long
life and prosperity to such hustlers as
Elder Brooks.

A PLEASANT VISIT.
The Legislative Committee at
the School of the Deaf.

The legislative committee, consisting
OF Senators Ames and McCanna and
representatives Allen, Boyd and
Dryer. appointed by the legislature to
visit the public institutions of the
state and report their needs. arrived
in Devils Lake Wednesday evening.
Thew were taken at once to the school
of the deaf whore Supt and Mrs.
Bangs entertained them until vester-
day afternoon. The committee made
a thorough inspection Of the building.
and noted the many disadvantages and
inconvenience under which the
teachers and scholars are compelled to
labor, and each member became
thoroughly convinced that the amount
of state aid asked for by Supt. Bangs
was none too large.
The committee and visitors we're
taken into the recitation room at 10
o'clock and enjoyed witnessing the
class exercises. The splendid work Of
the scholars was a revelation to tmany
OF the visitors. The scholars aptness
and rapid advancement in all grades
of studies show the tremendous posi-
bilities of such a school, without the
advantages Of which these unfortunate
boys and girls would grow up in ignor-
nance and be a constant menace to
society.
The committee left Yesterday after
noon for Grand Forks. They were
highly pleased with their visit here,
and will do all in their power to secure
for this school an appropriation large
enough to cover all the improvements
asked for.
