HIS FRIENDS THE ICONS"
Bloomington Car Line Conductors Give
Rev. Charles Fox Davis Hand
.'--.-.. ~. some Souvenir,

Rev. Charles Fox Davis Of the Bloom
ington Avenue M. =. church, is known by
his good works all along the Bloomington
avenue car line. In his five years service
in. that district he has met about every
street car conductor on that line. He has
BEEN brought into n such close contact
and has; cultivated such intimate rela-
lions with them that among all his friends
none were more sorry to hear of his de-
parture soon for Duluth, where he will
take charge of a Lester Park church.
The conductors decided to give the
pastor substantial, evidence Of. their high
regard for him. When he responded to an
invitation to meet a delegation Of con-
ductors at the Bloomington car barns,
Bloomington avenue and Thirtv-second
street. last evening, he was presented
a handsome gold watch, appropriately en-
graved. Mr.. Davis was deeply affected by
this sincere token Of appreciation from his
casual friends, and in responding assured
them that he would always cherish the
occasion a some Of the pleasant incidents
of his Minneapolis experience.

John A. Hargrave guilty of manslaughter.
Hargrave last April choked his invalid

section has seen a steady tide of immi-

The Milwaukee and North Western
roads own a large percentage Of the
mileage in South Dakota. Their mileage
in Iowa is large. This has facilitated
the movement Of homesekers from Iowa
to South Dakota. Each road taps all
portions of the state and there has con-
sequently been no special effort by either
for any one section. Homesceekers have
purchased land and settled in large num-
bers In many Of the eastern counties.
The invasion has gradually covered most
of the newer land along the Missouri
making the building of more branch lines
in that part of the state probable. Large
numbers of homeseekers settling in South
Dakota will devote their energies to dairy
farming where in most instances the

IEEA vi central northwest since the
lE~@l first of the year. This is equal
:: to the immigration into Mime
sofa. ,hesDakotas, and northern Wiscon-
sin for the entire twelve months Of 1901.
For the first year, since immigration 20
the northwest took such positive turn,
there will be a steady moderate move
ment throughout the summer with IN
creased travel in the fall months. In
dustrial agents in close touch with the
situation place the total immigration 1or
the central northwest in 1902 at 100000.
Most OF the lew corners have passed
through the Minneapolis gateway. The
larger percentage of the immigration
into South Dakota has gone by routes
south and southwest of the twin cities,
principally over the Milwaukee and
North Western roads Some of the i'm
migration into Wisconsin has taken
routes east of Minneapolis. The north
ern coast lines have contributed the big
percentage of the immigration to the
north coast and that has gone through
this gateway. There has been a big
movement to Canadian points through the
twin cities. 1t is believed that the esti-
mate on immigration into the ''greater
northwest" will reach the figure predicted
the first of the year, 100000.
In the central northwest, North Dako-
ia has taken the big piece Of the per-
simmon. Since January 1. 10000 have
been added to its population. North Da-
kota was credited by the census of 1900
with 800, 900 inha bitants. The immigra-
ton of last year, together with that Of
the past four months will bring the
flickertail states total population to $780,
600 which demonstrates the wonderful
possibilities in North Dakota between
now and the taking Of the next census.
Minnesota's gain through this years i'm
migration is about $1,000; South Dako-
tas, 10000, and northern Wisconsin
5000. South Dakota can now lay claim
to population of 425,oe0 an increase of
$4,000 people; in two years. Immigration
has furnished Minnesota with a net gain
OF $4,000 people in the past two years.
Seven Thousand Cars of EFFECTS"
Returns from the hundreds of railway
stations on the various lines show that
1000 full carloads of homeseekrs' house
hold and farming effects have gone into
the central northwest since January /.
This number includes only full carloads
and does not take into consideration the
several thousand less than car lot ship
ments. North Dakota and Minnesota re-
ceived 5000 of these, b, far the greater
portion of which went to North Dakota
South Dakota took between 1,30O and 1900
and northern Wisconsin about 600. While
railroad statistics on immigration are en-
tlrely lacking in completeness enough is
known to show that at the railway sta
lions in the northwest more carloads of
homeseekers' effects have been received
since January l than during all of 1901,
which was considered remarkable for its
immi grafton record. ."
