IMMIGRATION

An immigration convention was
held at Crookston last Friday, the
commendable object of which was to
devise ways and means to properly
advertise the northern portion of
the Red River valley, the counties
OF Marshall, Kittson, Roseau, Polk
and Red Lake. Different plans
were discussed, some of which may
be adopted. A committee of five
was appointed, one from each
county, to work up interest in the
work in their respective localities.
This committee consists of J. W.
Wheeler, of Crookston; Irsael Sjo-
berg, of Roseau; A. M. Konson, of
Hallock; L. Lamberson, of Warren;
and A. M. Healey, of Red Lake
Falls. AS member at large, Mr..
Shaw, of Thief River Falls, was also
agreed upon.
Another convention will be held
shortly, when some definite action
will be taken. Congressman Steen-

CONFIRMATION
EXERCISES
Nineteen Children Of the Lords
Supper Take Vows in Swed-

Last Sunday was held the con-
frmation service in the Swedish
Lutheran church in this city. The
exercises commenced at 10 o'clock
a. m. and were conducted by Rev.
J. A. Mattson. Nineteen young
people took the vows and were ad-
mitted into full membership in the
church, their names being as fol-
lows: Hilma M. Johnson, Ella M.

son, Arthur Malm, William Malm,
Eddie Swanson, Albert Pearson,
Paul Holm, Axel Johnson, Arnold
Dahlin, Carl Erickson, Ole Aasan,
Albert Stranberg, Oscar Lofberg
and Cyrus Malberg. After the con-
frmation exercises the sacrament
of the Lords Supper was admin
istered. Each member of the class
was presented with a handsome
copy of the Bible, as gift from the
congregation. The exercises were
interspersed with a number of
songs by the choir, practiced spe-
cially for the occasion. Flowers and
potted plants adorned the interior
of the church. Many parents and
friends of members Of the confrma-
ton class from out of town we're
present. The church was crowded
to the utmost and many who wished
to hear the exercises were unable

Our Homes as an Index.

We cannot always measure the
relatives value of either people or
homes from external appearances
but our opinions are largely in
fuenced thereby. The homes are
and should be the pride Of the indi-
vidual, community and nation and
we measure the prosperity of any
section largely by those it contains.
What greater ambition could one
have than to create home sur
rounded by conveniences and the
beauties of nature, and equally as
attractive within? Our success in
life should not be measured by the
dollars we accumulate but rather by
the use we put them to. The new
settler has come in from time to
time and built his cabin, adding.
other improvements as time and
means afforded. These modest be-
ginnings have sheltered many a
happy home and their value is often
underestimated. Without discon-
tent there would be but little pro-
gress and it is the hardships thus
encountered that tend to develope
those characteristic American traits
(the push, perseverance and pluck
or self-reliance) we all admire. AS
settlements become older and money
more plentiful there comes with it
the desire to enjoy greater priv
ileges, and it is gratifying to note
this increasing tendency of improv-
ing home surroundings. Surely,
few things will add more to the
value and attractiveness of any
place (for the money expended) than
the judicious planting of trees,
shrubs and plants. Farm Stock

Every grower of corn will cOncede
without argument the vital need Of
planting good seed for the self evident
reason that defective seed means q
poor stand, and a poor stand inevita-
bly, means poor crop, no matter how
we'll cared for, corn differing from the
smaller cereal grains in this-that the
stand is wholly dependent upon all
the seed growing, while in the case Of
wheat, oats, rye and the like, even if
one-half of the seed failed to grow, ma
ture in a compensating way would
cause the scattering plants to wonder
fully stool out and thus furnish a
hundredfold increase from "a single
seed. But with corn 1t Is different,
but one stalk coming from one seed
save with the little Dwarf Yankee and
sweet corn varieties, and thus it fol-
lows that a man largely settles the
yield Of his corn crop when he selects
his seed. There is an unusual interest
being taken now in this matter-so
much that the railway corporations are
sending at great expense all over their
lines corps of instructors and experts
to show the average farmer how he
may test bis corn and absolutely know
that the seed he plants will grow. Dur
ing the year 1904 the state of Iowa
raised 323,OOO,OOO bushels Of corn on
what was proved to be a two-thirds
stand of corn owing to the poor quality
Of the seed used. While it would not be
fair to say that the state would have
produced 107, 900, 900 bushels more corn
had good seed been used, it is fair to
say that the crop would have been in
creased by several million bushels had
good seed been used.

500 TO DULUTH
May Build East from Thief
River Falls This
Year.

according to reports, there is
every probability that the 500 rail
way will be built from Thief River
Falls through to Duluth next sum-
mer.
a crew Of fifteen surveyors were
seen at Red Lake a few days ago
working eastward and it is claimed
that they have gone into the swamps
in the Big Fork country north of
Northome, where it is expected that
the line, provided it is constructed,
will cross the M. & T.. sa
The Narrows," d neck of water
which connects the north and south
parts of Red Lake, have been sound
edand it is thought that the inten-
tlo9n OF the company is to build a
bridge across this instead of going
south of the lake which it is claimed
was the original intention of the
company.
The Narrows" are only three
quarters of a mile across and very
shallow, the waters averaging only
about four feet in depth.
What truth there is in the report is
unknown but the people of the Red
River valley hope it istrue, as that
would give a direct line to the rich
timber country and the great iron
mines nip of Northern Minnesota, as
we'll as to Duluth.
