IMMIGRATION ACTIVITY,

4 All of our exchanges are calling at.
tention to the great influx Of inmi-
grants this year. Beltrami Is also
catching its share, If not more, of the
alien home seekers. New houses are
springing up in all parts of the coun-
i ty and new faces greet us at every
A turn. We believe most OF our new
settlers come from older sections OF
4 the states and from the overcrowded
cities. Their imported up-to-date
methods and varied experience will be
Of untold benefit to the upbuilding OF
this new country. Many of them are
practical farmers who have sold. run
down and mortgaged farms to- get a
new start, freed from debt, in Sec
ton where land is cheap and pros
poets bright They are wise who To-
cate in this county while such induce
ments remain. That time will not last
long.
Immigration into the Northwest is a
factor that the railroad and land COM
panies have been working hard for
the past few years and this season be-
gins to show the fruits OF their labor.
Agents, circulars and reading matter
OF all kinds have been sent into the
old country by different companies,
not alone in the Northwest, but also
il other localities in this country that
are adapted to settlement, setting forth
the advantages OF the particular To-
calities and Offering inducements to
The immigrants coming
into the Northwest are Of all nation
alities, and the proportion Of each is
pretty evenly divided. At present
there are large number OF Swedes,
Firms and Germans coming through
here. For the greater part, the Firms
seem to make for the mining regions
and the Swedes and Germen for local
tiles that are capable OF being trans
formed into farming communities.
The railroad companies have thous-
ands OF acres OF land throughout the
Northwest both in Wisconsin and
Minnesota and they are also offering
extra inducements to immigrants with
the hope of settling up and improving
,he lands, for wherever a county ira
rersed by a railroad is improved and
settled up, SO much more is the comp
any benefited by increased receipts.
It is believed that the next two years
will see the best lands Of the North
vest, those adapted to farming, pretty
veil taken UP by immigrants from the
DID country that are searching for
new homes in the United States.

where it may properly be termed !
house famine, for the situation has be,
come positively serious. The most
remarkable thing, too, is that with all
the vacant property in the city in des-
lrable locations, yielding no revenue
to the owners, there is probably not a
single house being built in the city to-
day to be rented. There are number
being built by people who expect to
occupy them themselves, but that is
all. t 55
That the property owners Of the
city should be awakened to the neces-
sity Of building there is no question.
The popularity Of the situationis that
they do not themselves see the fine
opportunity now before them.
The belief that it costs too much to
build is probably responsible for the
fact that SO little is doing in the build
ing line today. It is true that last
spring the price OF building was high.
Iron and its products were at the
highest price in years. Labor was de-
manding better remuneration and
everything gave to the property owner
the belief that If he were to build he
would have to pay a great deal more
than he would care to. That impress
sion still fingers with him. He has
| not yet learned that there has been d
change. Today it costs considerably
less to build than it did three or four
months ago. Several contractors in
terviewed yesterday all agreed that
the cost Of building was less than it
was in March or April. A contractor
who figures today on a building, will
give a price running from 10 to Is per
cent lower than he would have given
three months ago. .
The reason for this is general re-
duction in the materials which enter
into building. Lumber has declined
about so cents thousand feet. Iron
is much cheaper. OF course not very
much iron enters into the building Of
residences, but anyone who has a
large bill OF ron to buy can get it
about as cheap now as he could two
years ago. Nails are down material
ly. Labor is cheap. Men that were
paid 81 a day very short time ago
for common labor are now willing to
work much less. Brick and bricklay-
ers are about the same, for there is a
heavy demand for them
Labor conditions gave an unsettled
aspect to affairs last spring, and the
contractors claimed that the troubles
then would kill building for the year.
Whether that may be the cause or not
the fact remains that at the present
time there is nothing doing. But all
troubles have been adjusted, and no
difficulty OF that kind will arise to
harass the man who erects building
now. The scales are all settled, and
the contractors are ready to proceed
with work quickly. There is another
thing, too, which should make build
ing cheaper. Nearly every contractor
has little work on his hands, and ALL
are anxious for something to do.
This is the time to build.

Mrs. Elizabeth Murphy passed
away at her home in the parson'
age Of the Catholic church, Tuesday
evening, Aug. I, 1900, at 1880 p. m,
She had been strong, healthy woman,
and up to a week ago had suffered lit
tie with the usual Ills OF old age. She
was taken suddenly i'll, and the heat,
coupled with her great age, brought q
speedy close to good and useful life.
Eighty-eight years ago she was born
in Ireland. She has survived her
husband thirty years. To them were
born eight children, but Of them
Thomas, Rev. Phillip and Miss
Bridget, are now alive. They all
make Bemidji their home. The mother
came here with her son about two years
ago.
Mass was said this forenoon, and
the funer al services will be held at the
Catholic church this afternoon. The
remains will be inferred in the village
cemetery. Weexpress the sentimentof

mourns with the Borrowing bereaved
