JEWS TAKE TO FARMS
IN THE MIDDLE WEST
Colony at Ashley. North Dakota, Is
Prospering at the Beginning
of Third Year

The Jewish problem Is beginning to
solve itself. The practicality of Zion
ism is, to all indications still far dis
tant, but those who treat the Jewish
problem as an economic one are al
ready seeing. results.
The Jewish colony which was started
near Ashley, n. D., in September, 1905,
is prospering wonderfully. at that
time twelve families moved to the
colony, and since then it has grown
rapidly There are now thirty-two
Minneapolis families there who have
taken homesteads. They are proving
daily that the Jews make as good farm
ers as students. vindicating that they
are willing workers, and many of them
would have long been "tillers of the
soil'' had they but had the opportunity.
Louis Wolfson and Isidor Auerbach
were sent to New York City as dele
gates from this colony in order to OBJ
tain aid from the Jewish and Industrial
Aid Society, whose headquarters are
there.
They remained there three weeks
negotiating with the business commit
tee and are to be congratulated on their
success. They obtained $4,000 to help
the colony and the settlers.
Last spring they found it difficult to
break in the land, for they Were ham
pered, not having sufficient machinery
and horses. But next spring they will
be fully equipped.
They have a shochet there and SER
vices were held during the holidays
last fall.
Louis Wolfson says: Il, without help
of any kind, broke in twenty-six acres
of land, built a shack 44xS4, consisting
of two rooms; a barn, 26x29; fenced in
a pasture Of forty-four acres, built a
chicken coop 8xS, raised 200 chickens,
dug a we'll ffty-four feet deep, be-
sides caring for four cows and fourteen
head of cattle.
What / have done does not COM
pare with what some of the others
have accomplished. and, moreover.
there is not, one of them but who is
an Industrious and earnest worker.
ION account of the severe weather
they have suffered from lack of fuel
and fodder for the cattle. Otherwise
they have had sufficient provisions"
Similar colonies have been started in
Canada, Wisconsin and North and
South Dakota. At present there are
about 1850 Jewish farmers IN the
United States Many of the Jews who
are packed into the New York ghetto
are beginning to stir. They expressed
their Intentions of coming out West

The first important fight of the year
will be held, Tuesday night in Dream
land Pavilion, when Fighting Dick Hy-
land and Cyclone Thompson will meet
for the third time in the ring. Both boys
are of the rushing type of fighters and
the fur should fly while they are in
action. They have trained hard under
the cad conditions prevailing during
the past month. Both have trudged
through the mud and have left nothing
undone which would perfect their con-
ditfon.
Each has a big following here and
there will be considerable betting on
the outcome of their engagement Hy-

favorite owing to the good showing
he made in his last fight here with
Eddie Hanlon. He defeated the latter
handily, but at the time it was claimed
that he did not show all the new
tricks he had learned during his trip

rugged and can stand a lot Of punish
ment He is tireless in the ring and
no route seems too long for him.
There is more at stake than the
purse offered tomorrow night. Both

ton to this Marysville has offered
$4,000 purse for a fight on July be-

Yesterday evening. at about $50, .
