Jacob Loutzenhizer and Isaac Allen,
of the Dale neighborhood, were in Lin
ton, Saturday. They were accompa-
MED by Mr.. S. L. Scott, who, with
four or five other. heads of families,
has just come out from Iowa to look
up land. They came by the Milwaukee
railway to Eureka. They have their
families with them and came prepared
to take land and 90 to work at once.
Later-Tuesday evening Mr.. S. l..
Scott, accompanied by his two sons,
Mark A. and Frank H., and his son-in-
law, o. w. Adsit, came to Linton and
the three young men made filings as
follows: Adsit, on w. ! and S. E. / of

Frank Scott, N. w. / 20-l30-77; Mark

stated that he would be in Linton in a
few days to makeSs filing. The new
comers have theirfamilies at Eureka.
They brought with them from Iowa
farm machinery, household goods, etc.,
and will at once put up buildings and

THE Northern Pacific folks have re-
Gently made a uew move in the matter
Of their hay lands. They now refuse
to lease hay or other lands, believing
that by not doing SO they can in a
good many instances compel the set
tiers to buy the lands. The Record
believes it is just IS wicked to allow
hay to 20 to waste that might do
somebody some good as it would be
for any one to destroy food they could
MT use themselves while the world
was full of hungry people. The set
tiers living near the hay land that
isn't sold should have an understand
Ing among themselves, SO that no one
would cut the hay until it was in
proper condition, and then arrange to
divide it among themselves. 1t won't
do the railway company any good to
let the hay 60 to waste. In fact, it is
better for the railroads to have the
hay 60 inside the steers, as they will
then get something in the way Of
freight charges for carrying to market
the hay that has been converted into
beef. 80

The scottish cherokes..

A correspondence in the Indian nation
has been investigating the ethnologi-

located there. He states that the
Cherokees are largely Scotch in charac-

with their creole-like skins, Scottish
features are largely predominant.
They have the large and athletic
frames Of the Highlanders. There are
very few pure -bloods among them, and
many are almost white. After the

IT appears, from the immigration
items in our state exchanges, that
Iowa is getting to. be the great colo
nizing state of the Union. There is
hardly neighborhood in North Da-
kota that is not receiving some Iowa
immigrants this year. And the best
of it is that most of the newcomers
are practical farmers, and are men
who have the means to open up a farm
in new country in the right way.
Emmons county has received several
Hawkeye settlers this year, and a
number Of others are at present in the
county looking up locations. 1t is
pretty safe to ask, when you meet an
English-speaking newcomer in North
Dakota this year: "What part of Iowa
do you come from?"
