plause.) We have twenty-five meet
ings for North Dakota, in Iowa, Him
OILS, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana this
week, and we have all the way from
ten to three hundred people attend
ing these school house meetings. Two
weeks ago tonight / was at Mansfield,
Ohio, and had several meetings at
different places in that vicinity. /
had a meeting there at the school
house where John Sherman made his
first political speech and where he
always made them afterwards in
every political campaign he went
into. He would go out there to make
speech, because of sentiment. 1t
was business on my part for I went
there to get people to come to North
Dakota. If this book was in exist
ence we could place it in the hands OF
the people you want to sell your
goods to. You can do that as an or
ganization and you can do it etfec-
lively. (Applause.) *S ~
Now the thing that has bothered
you most has been the Canadian
movement. That is u well organized
movement backed by the government.
1t would be hard thing to get the
Legislature into an inclination to APP
propriate two or three hundred thou
sand dollars for immigration pur-
poses to fight that movement with.
But can tell you what you can do
in that direction: A license law for
people in Grand Forks, Fargo and
any other city of this state, who get
people to settle In Canada, South
America, Africa, or any other place,
Of two hundred dollars or three hun
dred dollars, as condition for their
doing business. But there is another
aspect of this Canadian movement.
We get from eastern Canada more
people than have gone into Canada
from the United States. The bright
young man Of the eastern provinces
of Canada goes to New York state or
to the west. We do not even have to
solicit them. Now, I have man in
Montreal and we do not even send
him printed matter, because it is
hard to get it through their malls.
But he sends men to us from Canada.

Then finally few pioneers came out
here who could not build fences.
After the railroad came, which is a
great civilizer, barb wire fences be-
gan to be built. These barb wire
fences divide up territory SO that
the cattlemen's cattle cannot feed
over the whole country. They also
put an end to the blizzards (laagh-

Now our work for the settlement
Of this country has taken a long
while and IT has been q long battle.
But we have some witnesses to bring
into court. A great many Of these
people whom we have located here
always go back home and tell their
former neighbors what they had done
out here, and that has helped us q
great deal. /. b If sssta2s Re a. s$s 3..@
But the most you gentlemen can
