question was taen up the better twill be

Twenty-Five years ago the Canadian
northwest had the same land laws they
have today. Much of their landed prop
>erty was as near the railroad station as
it is today. Prices Of land were great
deal lower than now, but they were get
ting no settlers Since they began vigor-
GUS and systematic advertising, they not
only got settlers but their property in:
creased in value; their artisans and
their merchants have been busily en-
ployed; Every, body has. been getting
until six or eight years ago, the railroad
companies owned large land grants in
this state, and they were advertising
the resources Of our state not only
turnout the entire union but thru
out the known world, where every hui
man language Is printed and read. Then
We were getting settlers. Then our
property was improving in value, but
unfortunately that property has passed
into the hands Of men who only. own a
few hundred or few thousand acres
each. They cannot afford to engage in
that comprehensive system of adver.
Using which our state demands. There
is probably no state in the union where
such good results would follow syste.
matte advertising as right here in Min,
nesota. Nearly everybody going to the
and states beyond, have to pass over
our Threshold. They have to go nearly
the entire length of our state. and il
l we only made an effort we could reach
those people and we could convince
them Of our golden opportunities, W,
could secure them as settlers.

advantage of our opportunities. Fol

This is but a drop in the bucket when
taken single-handed and alone. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
always spend money for this purpose.
It is my belief that for the first year
or two, while this work Of state devel-
opment is in it's infancy, while it is i'm
possible to appropriate the sum Of
fully, on account of that feeling Of dis
trust that the money would be wasted,
which would be felt everywhere, that
the railroads would each be induced to
donate at least $4,000 to add to that
common fund. The railroads are to be
wonderfully benefited by state devel-
! opment. They would rather go with
loaded trains than with half loads. They
would rather go with ten trains day
"The Minnesota & international
road reaches from Brainerd, 174 miles
north into the wilderness. They are now
taking out crop which it has taken
ages to grow. In just a few years that
crop will be all gone. Probably in five
years that road, which cost millions Of
dollars, will not pay operating ex-
penses.
Jobbers Realize It's Meaning.
"As soon as the country secures more
people and every farmer co-operates
with the jobbers Of the three great cit
les Of the state, I am convinced that
each of those cities will donate to that
common fund at least $4,000 year.
The jobbers long ago learned that it
costs no more for a travelling man to
stop at a station and sell $500 worth Of
goods than it does to sell $50 worth of
goods, but the $500 bills cannot
be sold unless there are people there to
sell the goods. If they are wide awake
they know how to spend money to ad-
vantage. "-s: "
"By this means fund could be
raised sufficiently large to advertise the
resources Of the state in such a way as
to produce most splendid results. We
could at least counteract the effects
which are being. produced by the energy
of our Canadian neighbors.
6 Unfortunately we have fewer farm.
ers in the state today than we. had
twelve months ago. The last census
shows that there are less people, out
side Of the villages and cities, than
there were ten years ago. In one Of the

A Nervy Schoolma'a am.

The Fine Grove school, a short dis
tance from Hood River, is having quite
time. The daughter of Mr.. Sproat,
one of the directors of the school
board, after being punished by the
teacher, left school. A short time
afterward she came to school as an ap-
plicant at the examination, but the
teacher refused to let her do so, at
which she went home and returned ac.
companied by her father and another
of the directors. After hearing Mr..
Sproat' remarks on the case she walked
up to him and gave him sounding
slap in the face, and then gave the
other director, Mr.. jackson, a similar
reception. The directors dismissed
Miss Pitney, the teacher, from the
school, and the case is row on trial.
