Northern Counties Only About One

States and Countries-Many New
Settlers in Southern Section.

Geo. F. Wright, director Of the state
census bureau, has, found some start

Minnesota. His deductions show that
a small part Of the population gain in
those counties has come from other
states and countries. The greater part
Of the new population has come from
other parts Of Minnesota.
Mr.. Wright's researches indicate that
there has been a great shifting Of
rural population from southern to

the southern counties to take the places
Of those moving to the north.
