The Valley City Times-Record sug-
gest a rich field for immigration work
when it says: IF President Hill,
when he gets full and complete con-
troll of the Northern Pacific, will put
Max Bass and his associates to work
bringing settlers into that portion Of
the state which lies between James,
town and Bismarck he will be doing
a work which should have been done
by the Northern Pacific many years
ago. The land between jamestown
and Bismarck greatly resembles that
between Devils Lake and Minot. 1t
is hard to believe that there is any
material difference in either the soil
or the climate, and If there was any
advantage it would be with the coun-
try along the line of the N. p, which
is a little nearer the eastern markets.
The land in the northern part OF the
state, however, commands a higher
price and there is a greater demand
ior ~, q tniS Is largely 1t not alto
gether due to the aggressive policy OF
the Great Northern in bringing in new
settlers and advertising the resources
OF its territory. The Northern Pa
ciic has neglected to initiate such a
policy and as a result the larger part
OF the immigration to the state during
the past five years has gone into either
q Great Northern or 500 territory.
Under Mr.. Hills management siren
nous efforts will undoubtedly be made
TO people the country between James
town and Bismarck with thrifty, pro-
gressive farmers, and from this stand
point the success of the merger would
pc a good thing for the state.

MILLION A DAY
IN LIFE

UNPRECEDENTED RECORD MADE
DURING 1901 BY THE NEW YORK
LIFE COMPANY-GREAT GAIN
IN NEW BUSINESS.
New York, Jan. 1.-The closing day
of the year indicates great prosperity
in every business direction. The
large mercantile houses, the various
banking institutions and the trades
generally are quite enthusiastic with
the records made. The fire insurance
business has not resulted in great
profits for stockholders, owing to the
poor rates obtained, but the regular or
old-time life insurance companies, on
the other hand, will make a splendid
showing for their policy holders. The
leader in business obtained and in
force will undoubtedly be the New
York life, as President Mccall has is
sued a statement that the new appli-
cations to his company in 1901 will
exceed $3.50, 000,0o or more than ST.
100000 for every day in the year.
This is an unprecedented yecord. The
company's new paid-for business in
1901, excluding risks rejected, ETC., is
$26O.OO0.O0O; the total paid-for insur-
ance in force is $1,36O,OO0,0OO, a gain
OF $160,O0O.oOO oyer the previous year.
It is estimated in banking circles that
the dividend and interest payments on
government, state, municipal, railroad
and other corporation securities pay
able on Jan ], will be $4OO,O0O,0OO.
The new business offered to the New
York Life during 1901 is nearly equal
to those combined payments.

very indignant, because there was no

almost literally fought among them

English actor and sadly neglected the
rest of the guests.

AND THE OTHER STATE GUARD
OFFICIALS CALL ON THE PRES
IDENT.
Washington, Jan. 23.-The National
Guard Association of the United
States whose convention here is being
attended by the adjutants general of
most of the states, today adopted a
resolution approving the establish
ment of a national Military Club in
this city, its membership to comprise
those who served h~onorably in the
army and navy in the civil and Span
ish wars. members of militia and naval
guards of the states, military and
naval cadets, civil and military Off
GERS of the United States, and terri
tories, and others. The objects are
to promote national guard interests
and provide a club rendezvous for
those eligible.
The adjutants general called on
President Roosevelt, Secretary Root
and General Miles. Secretary Root
improved the opportunity to express
his hearty sympathy with the move
ment in which they are engaged. The
secretary said the study and thought
which he had been required to give
the military affairs had led him to the
conviction that it was of the greatest
Importance to this country that the
national guard should be maintained.
promoted and perfected as a necessary
school for citizen soldiery. The gulf
between the national guard and the
regular army should be closed up en-
tirely and there should be harmonious
cooperation between the two organi-
cations in bringing about a condition
OF affairs which would make the coun-
try always ready with an efficient vol
unteer force to act as an auxiliary to
the regular army.
Secretary Root said that the time ia
now ripe for securing legislative
measures which will be of great adj
vantage in ~peafecting the obsolete mil
tia system OF 1852. He c~ongratu-
lated the officers OF the convention on
the good temper, spirit and interest
with which they had taken up the sub
jeet OF improving the militia system
on b progress already made in
that direction and expressed the hope
that congress would consider the sub
ject in the same commendable spirit.

over him grains of corn. Presently the

morning, which they salute by repeat

The national dish in Scryia is pork.
