AGENTS OF FIVE STATES AGREE
TO JOIN HANDS. -.
Will Work Together to Encourage I'm,
migration Into Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, the Dakotas and Montana -
Name OF New Organization Is the
American, Immigration Association
Of the Northwest. - : s-''i =. -.

About $50 northwestern land agents
assembled at the st. Paul Commercial
club to-day and organized a strong
association: under the name Of the
American Immigration Association of
the Northwest. : ". TX, y, ..:..s-
The, land men of Minnesota, Wis
consin, North and South Dakota and
Montana have. felt for.,years that their
efforts were being wasted, and that
much could be accomplished by a
compact organization. Men in SINH
lar lines had organized in the south
west and In Canada, and the present
was considered the right time to join
forces in this part Of the country.
For some time a great deal of i'm
migration that would naturally have
come to the northwest, had been di-
verified to- the. southwest, largely thru
the efforts: of the Southwestern I'm
migration association. ;: Hence the
convention of to-day, a convention
composed Of delegates from the five
states mentioned. ~
J. A. fictitious Of st. Paul presided
at the morning session. H. S. Hun
ter Of Minneapolis was temp sec
rotary. In brief opening. address
Mr.. fictitious referred to the move
ment that led up to the convention.
The twin city land men, he said, had
already held one or, two, meetings, and
had organized. The land fever, had
appeared first ins the northwest, and
had. gradually spread to other secz
tons Of the country, where, nov, sys-
tematic work looking, to Increased i'm
migration was being: done. It be-
hooved the people of these; parts. tc
be. alive to; the necessity of settling
their, own lands Much could be ac-
complished by organization and well
directed effort. syns>,a III: =.
The principal work Of the forenoon
was the adoption of a constitution
and bylaws. Meetings will be held
annually the first Wednesday in Feb.
ruary. 1ta-" ~
The question of membership fees
created considerable discussion. The
constitution placed the annual, fee
at IS and the dues at like amount
Each member Of a corporation coulG
become a member by paying IS, but
no corporation should pay a greater
sum than $25. There was quite g
sentiment favorable to allowing land
men from outside states to become
members without payment Of fees
Others thought that fiat rate Of SIC
for corporations would be ample.
It is the intention to pay the sec.
rotary a salary Of about $1,S00.

DANGER Turks
IN HIS DIMPLES
"MAx'' EsTERLY OF ROOSEVELT
CLUB CAN so TESTIFY.
His Chin's Beauty Spot Puts Police
on His Trail as Possible Dimpled
''Highwaywoman" of st. Paul
!tMax" Is Inclined to Be Resentful.

''Dogged by a Dimple; or Who Set
the Cops on Me-" is the title OF a
tract which Frank c. (Max) Esterly,
secretary Of the Roosevelt club, is
threatening to write. and will write
in case worst comes to worst and he
is placed behind the bars. H..
It was not Max's fault that he was
born with dimple in the middle of
his round chin. Neither was it his
fault thatstwo masked and armed per
sons, supposed to be women in mems
garb, held up and robbed two men on
"a St. Paul street Saturday. night and
that one Of the robbers displayed a
dimpled chin. n
Nevertheless he was g. little alarmed
this morning when he was called to
the telephone and the voice of Eddie
Corners, private secretary to Police
Superintendent Conroy, said:
Mr.. Esterly, we are sorry to dis
turb you, but haven't you a dimple in
your chimp
!. "Why, Of course" replied the as
tonished Max. "but I don't see that
it's any Of your business"
: Excuse me-" replied Mr.. Corners,
in his most flute-like tones, "but we
are looking for the person who stuck
UP two st. Paul men Saturday night.
One of them had a big dimple' In his
chin and we have it on good authority
that there is no other dimple in the
twin cities so deep as yours. Wed
like to have you come down here to
headquarters" - s., ...&
'Why should I go down to head
quarters just because I've a dimple In
my chin?" shouted the irate Esterly
LET me talk to Mr.. Conroy." ...s.'
The chief came to the phone.
"Neighbor .Conroy," said Mr.. Ester
ly, in his most mellifluous manner, u
don't want to go down to police head
| quarters, just because have g. dimple

"You didn't do it. even on bet?'
asked the chief. .'~

earnest response. "And, besides, It'll

well, you needn't come down fo'

"but I can prove an alibi, and that

TO KEEP VICE
WITHIN BOUNDS.
POLICE ACTIVITY ENCOURAGES
UPTOWN. RESIDENTS.
Some Vicious Resorts Have Invaded
Decent Neighborhoods Which Have
Been scandalized but Have Suffered
in Silence-Now They VIII Seek
Official Relief.

Since the police have shown a de-
sire to clear the respectable business
districts Of vicious resorts, it is prob
able that Superintendent Conroy Will
be asked to do as much for certain
residence districts. OF late the pros
prietors Of several downtown places
have taken quarters farther uptown
in respectable residence districts,
where the residents are already UP In
arms. In few days demands will be
made on the police to clean these
places out.
One resort bitterly complained of
is on Twelfth street. just south OF
Hennepin avenue. 1t has been run
ming there openly for some time.
Neighbors say that 1t Is not an, UNI
common occurrence to be awakened
inquiring for the questionable place.
This annoyance has become more
marked in the last month and resi-
dents in the vicinity. have notified
their rental agents that unless some
thing was done to rid the ne1ghbor-
hood Of the place they would move.
All Of the tenants in the vicinity say
they would have complained to the
police long ago had 1t not been for
the fear that they would be com
PEELED to furnish evidence themselves.
They now hope that the police will
take the case into their own hands.
A canvass made by II b Q u r n !
yesterday revealed that persons resid-
ing on Hennepin avenue from ll27
to 1908 inclusive have grievances SUI
ficient to demand police activity. They
not only want the place cleaned out
but are determined to have 1t go.
other persons in the neighborhood
living little further away, are will
ing to give their support when these
demands are made. .~e-.- -~-.>..---s ,,
A similar resort on East Seven
teenth street has closed since the pres.
ent agitation began.

There are twenty-four pages in this num-

interesting lot Of men.
That Editor P. G. Sjoblom has faith in
the South Side IS shown in the following:
Just now we are laying stress the men-who
they are, what they are-so we shall later show

schools, the unexcelled transportation facilities,
the street service, the immense trackage.

started his boom afresh. and without
doubt If he should decide to become

the idea So far, on account Of bust

There is a strong sentiment In favor
of David P. Jones, president of the

administration during the few months
at the end of DR.. Ames' term, when
the "genial DOCTOR was away for his
health. The Jones boom made its ap-
