NORTH DAKOTA |

1t Is estimated that of the 1000 home
seekers passing through Minneapolis this
week 20 per cent located in North Dakota.
The flax lands in the western part OF the
state are in big demand by the land seek
er of moderate means and the Red River
valley lands are attracting the investors
and the wealthy farmers from the south
west A quarter section of Red River
valley land located near Grand Forks sold
dast week at $66 per acre. In various
parts of the valley lands are being sold
at from SIS to- $35 per acre, and the ten
dency of prices is constantly upward. The
Great Northern, Northern Pacific and 500
roads are doing much sto populate the
western part of the state. Since the
Great Northern began carrying the Penn
sylvania aid Indiana Dunkards into the
northwestern counties North Dakota has
enjoyed a good immigration. It's farmers
are among the most prosperous in the
country and the land they own is increas
ing in value every year.
A Fine Business Woman.
Mrs. F. E. Lockhart, who manages the
Lockhart estate, controlling thousands of
acres of the most fertile lands in the Red
River valley, has probably the finest and
most elaborate display of grains and
grasses raised in the Red River valley,
or any land company or trm operating IN
the northwest, and equal in completeness
to any display or showing of the products
of any section of the country. o u r.
n a representative who had the pleasure
of an interview with Mrs. LockhaTt on his
visit to Fargo, cannot speak too highly Of
the methods pursued by this fine business
woman, in interesting the eastern in
weston and land seeker, and setting forth
the advantages Of the Red River valley
of North Dakota. 1t is this class of land
companies that by their strict integrity
are doing much to build UP that section
of the country Mrs. Lockhart says that
conditions compared with 1901 are phe-
nomenal; that while the movement last
year was large, it will not compare with
the great number of settlers locating in
the Red River valley in 1902; also that a
most desirable class of homeseekers are
establishing themselves this year; that
it is made up of the more intelligent
class of farmers who are dissatisfied with
conditions in the eastern states, and have
found that in every class Of diversified
farming and stock raising this section
will compare most fayorably with Iowa,
Indiana and Illinois. Mrs. Lockhart
prophesies that if present conditions con-
tinue for two years,-and she has every
reason to believe they will-prices Of land
will double.

/. SOUTH DAKOTA.


- immigration into South Dakota this
month will break all records. Every
county in the state east Of the Missouri
river is adding to it's population through
the homeseeker movement. The success
OF South Dakota farmers is being aDpre-
ciated in the east and the southwest. 4
large number of ,Iowans who are looking
for new field of opportunity are going
into South Dakota The dairy industry
is making great progress in the state and
the opportunities for profit in this direc-
ton are attractive. There will be much
railway construction in western South Da-
kota in the next two years: The Milwau-
kee is now building from Eureka west
and north. The profit in stock raising is
working to the advantage of the western
part of the state where purchases are be-
ing made with the intention, Of using the
land for small ranches. Land values In
the eastern counties are increasing stead
lily and many sales are being made. The

Fergus Falls National bank, talked very
entertainingly to-day to b e j ourna

having Its lands located in Otter Tail,

Mr.. Ulland says that the conditions, as
compared, with. 1901, are more than ia
vorabfe, and that the movement that is
coming into his section of the country
this year has increased over so per cent
that one Of the most noticeable features is
the fact that the settlers who are coming
from northern Iowa and southern Mime
sofa, are of class that have plenty of
means and possess a degree Of intelligence

that will make the very best citizens for
the northwest. While this company have
some lands at from $3.50 to $25 an acre,
Mr.. rUlland is positive that IL the present
conditions continue in his section of the
country which he has every reason to be-
lieve will, that one year from now the
same lands that are selling from $3.50 TO
$25 an acre cannot be bought for double
the price.
The present outlook for crop conditions
for, this year, he says are very favorable
and the farmers have about completed
their seeding, and everything is in fine
shape for prosperous conditions this year.

GOOD FPORk.

When the general alarm sounded yesterday noon some who remembered what fire has done this year were afraid that New Haven's turn had come. The conditions were right for big fire. The blaze had got a good start there was a plenty of extra favorable material for it to feed on, and there was high wind to help 1t along For awhile the situation looked dangerous. But the fire was attacked with zeal and sklll and it was subdued without doing the damage it seemed likely to do. All who saw the work of the Fire department, and they were thousands, felt that New Haven is fortunate in being so well protected against the attacks of an en- emy that has lately won great victories in other places.

THE GRAY FOX.

Not as cunning as the red fox Well, perhaps not, but that's not say ing very much against him, for the red fox is a wizard, magician. But the gray one is pretty close second, as every one who has hunted him knows from experience. It takes d clever hound to follow him successfully. and even the cleverest will often go hun gry if he depends upon getting q gray fox for his dinner. ..-
 When it comes to good looks howev- CT, l think the red fox Is decidedly the superior of his grizzled cousin. The latter is not so neatly built; his body is thicker and not quite so graceful. His head is broader and his nose shorter than those of the red fox, and if any thing his ears are longer. His general color is gray, but he is marked here and there with various other shades. His muzzle is black, and he has patch of brown on each side of his face, ex- tending from the eye to the nose. while the ears, sides of the neck, and the out

In 1900 there were in Massachu- setts seventy establishments engaged in the manufacture of rubber and elas- tic goods. giving employment to 5,944 wage-earners and turning out products valued at s19,SS5o59, an increase in ten years of S5, ,366,477, or sixty-three per cent. There were six establishments in 1900 devoted to the manufacture of rub Der boots and shoes, employing 5,250 wage-earners, and yielding products valued at $16,4900l5, as compared with five establishments in 1890, employing 1882 wage -earners and yielding pro- ducts valued at S9,792, 024, an increase of $6,697, ,991, or 6S.4 per cent.

THE DISAsTER rN MARTINIQUE.

If the reports concerning what has happened in the island of Martinique are not exaggerated the disaster there is one of the greatest of it's kind. There has been much disturbance lately in the central part of this hemisphere.
 Mexico has been severely shaken by
 earthquakes, the shocks extending over
 the 18th of April Guatemala was visit ed, the town of Escuintla destroyed,
 thousands of people made homeless,
 while three thousand or more were killed; in San Jose a thousand build ings were shaken down; at Ocos, Lib- ertad and other towns the damage was considerable. The continuation has come in an explosion of the volcano Mont Pelee in the island of Martinique. This volcano has been quiet for half cen tury and it was supposed to have be- come entirely inactive. But it has walked up and done appalling damage. Human beings are again reminded that though they may feel big they are not big. Even J.

| The way in which the women at the Los Angeles disposed of the trouble
 some "color question" is exciting the doubt the ability of women to do
 slick work in their conventions. After much spirited discussion of the proposi-
 ton to admit colored women to the Gen
 eraI Federation of Womens Clubs, in which many eloquent pleas were made for the coored race, the convention eliminated the entire 'color question"
 by voting to throw open the doors of the federation to all women, irrespec- tive of race or color But after open
 ing the door the women skillfully fixed it so that it will probably be useful only to white women. The federati adopt ed what is known as the New York amendment" which makes no distinc- tion as to race or color but provides that applications for admission are to be referred to the committee on mem- bership appointed by the board of di- rectors. A unanimous vote of the com- mttee is required to elect, and in the event of it's failure to agree the appli- cation must be decided by the full board, the written vote of tWo-thirds of which shall be necessary to elect Ii is believed that no membership commit tee will ever care to take the responsi- bility of breaking the precedents by ad- hitting a coored club.
 In some places in the South the ne- groes are allowed to vote. The whites i'll those regions don't care how much the negroes vote so long as the counting in the hands of the whites.
