Edwards, United States Consul Gen

said in an interview The proper
way to describe the manner in which
the people you are getting are the

say they are coming over in droves.
Among the people there did not seem
to be any thought OF there being a
boundary line at all. 1t is simply a
question" added the major, "of there
not being any more land in North
Dakota and the surrounding States,
and the people are fiocking TO Canada
to get good farms. Naturally the
number that will come over will in
crease all the time, and | may say
the people of North Dakota are COM

under which they win have to work"

very next spring after the embank-

were clothed with this rampant and
conspicuous crucifier. A line Of yell
low across the country marked in
many places the course of the railway.
