had; that the state should drain it's
own. Mr.. Iverson declared the soil
in northern Minnesota unequaled for
general farming.
He gave an eloquent illustration
of the wonderful transformation that
had taken place in this north coun-
try during the last forty years, and
gave the conditions in Todd county
as illustrative of the evolution from
numbering to high-class farming.
He stated that twenty years ago
there were sixty farms in Beltremi
county; in 1895 there were 293; 1907
there we're 1,760-wonderful ad-
vancement. What we wanted was
home-makers and home-builders.
George H. Welch, state migration
commissioner was next introduced.
Mr.. Welch did not spend much
time in getting down to fine speech,
in which he told his hearers of what
his department intended doing, and
he stated it as his belief that BEL
trami county would develop so
rapidly, from now on, that even the
most optimistic resident would be
astonished. We had men in this
country who did things. He stated
that in 1880 we had ten people here;
now we have over $4,000. He could
hardly conceive what we would have
fifty years hence.
Mr.. Welch gave some very inter
esting and instructive facts and
figures, and closed his speech with
III eloquent appeal to-tthi1e the people
present to advertise the resources of
this great north country.
G. G.. Hartley of Duluth was next
introduced, and he gave a speech
brim full of good, hard facts, sting
ing rebukes to traducers of northern
Minnesota and excellent explana-
tions of what he was personally do
ng at his Island farm along Develop
ment in a swamp.
Mr.. Hartley stated that he had
first visited Bemidji twenty-five years
ago, when he cruised here, with a
pack on his back, when he was well
coined by Indians. The welcome
he had received now was decided
pleasure and did him great good to
receive. = -. -" =. -.
The speaker grew eloquent when
he referred to the fact that no part
of Minnesota had been villifed and
traduced as the country lying north
of the Nortern Pacific railway and
east of the Red River Valley. The
national forestry board had attempted
to tie up several thousands of acres
of good agriculture lands in order to.

had stated in an open meeting that
the only road that could possibly be
of any use in this state was an auto

as OF Polish. Russian and German ex-
