Interesting Figures of Growth.


| we tilid ii hard To realize how this
country in the west has grown. In
looking oyer the dhieial reports of tie
United states census for 1869, we find
tbat st. Louis county, Minnesota which
/ now has the great city Of Duluth with
approximately 100000 people, had in
| 1850 total population for the county
OF 24l, and the City of Duluth was un-
known or unheard Of, not having been
born.
The total population of Dakota, in
Guiding both North and South Dakota
ut that time was 2,5GO Today we have
a million.
Omaha now having 10000 population
was then unknown, the same as
Duluth
Going back a step further to the
official census Of 1850 we find san
Francisco a larger city than Chicago,
with $4,000 people, Chicago then hay-
ing but $4,000, Now Chicago has two
million and san Francisco 100000.
H. 1880, St Louis had 1900 people
and New Orleans 10000 and yet some
people think that southern cities grow,
because it does not get cold enough in
the winter time there TO XIII the yellow
fever germs and otherwise purify and
inyigorate the climate and the people.
Among the leading cities of the
United states are mentioned Zanes,
vile, Ohio, at that time, but no men
ton whatever is made OF Kansas City,
Denver, Omaha, ST Paul, or Minneapo
lis. These great cities, most of them
now having over 100000 people, were
then unknown or possibly Il small
village of hundred people
What may we not expect for the
future, when we stop to think that the
population is increasing faster each
year, while the domain to spread over
and develop grows no greater.
1t will pay any parent with children
in older developed states to get them

An ODD SEA FOOD.
Vsraues OF the Gigantic MARINE Snail,

Though the flesh Of the aDalone is a

food, highly esteemed by the Chinese
ana japanese. few people in the Jnlt
ed States know anything ab9ut tne
abalone except that it has d large shei

lone is Il gigantic sea snail, whose nat
nral home is the deep water off Il rocky
coast. The whole coast Of central and
lower California from Cape Mendo-
elmo to Cape st. Lucas, abounds inaDa-
lones, the supply being absolutely un.
limited. AS fast as an area of fishing
ground is depleted it is repeopieQ by
full grown abalOneS coming in from
the ocean. Three months after a piece
of ground has been thoroughly cleared
by the abalone fishers the supply is as
abundant as ever. The contents OF the
large abalone shell weigh as much as
two pounds
Long ago the Chinese and japanese
discovered the value of the meat as Il
wholesome and digeStibIe food The
supply of abaloneS in Chinese waters
is, however, small, and the tishing
grounds oil the coast of Japan were SO
heavily drawn upon that they became
exhausted. The people are forbidden
by an imperial edict from taking them.
The japanese and Chinese in Califor-
MIA dive for the abaIones, which crawl
about the rocks at the bottom of the
sen in deep water outside the surf.
The divers bring them ashore ana
spread them out in Il suAny place to
dry This process reduces the abalone
to about one-third of its original bulk,
leaving a tough, horny product The
dried abalones are sent to the orient,
where they are soaked and stewed or
ground into powder and used for max.
ing soup.

the abalone lives. and as it is a clean
feeder its flesh is always sound and
wholesome, being superior in this re-

which live near shore and are often

Nothing Like the Land.

"Stop selling your farms" was the
wholesome advice given by Mr.. J. j..
Hin to the Minnesota farmers in his
address at Crookston This advice was
born of Mr. HILLS intimate knowledge
of the recources and the possibilities Of
development in this region. He knows
that the lands are really worth more
than they will be likely to fetch now,
and he wants TO impress the farmers
with the ACCESSIBILITY Of holding on to
a good thing,
The history of the progressive settle
ment of the west demonstrates the fact
thaI land is, after all, the safest and
surest asset, When a settler takes up
a frontier ella NJ he finds hard work and
hardships before him. His lot, for q
me at least, is one Of priyation and
his task one that requires infinite
patience. But he has the certainty of
reward for his toll in the fruitful and
teemipg earth; and beyond that, every
new farm that is opened, every new
house that is built, every mile of rail
road that Reconstructed, every improve
merit wrought by the hand of advance
Ing civilization, adds to the value of
its holding. He is getting not only pay
for his labor in his crops and his grow
ing cattle, but he is the recipient of
what some political economists call
the unearned lncrement;;" that is TO
say, of the growth of the country.

d rather funny circumstance occurred
this week when the farmers east OF

building of a drainage ditch from the

the ditch would be a good thing for

result IN converting a large number

MARRIAGE IN MEXICO.


How the Ensa@enient and wedding
Ceremonies Are Celebrated
The Mexican people are hosDitable to
fault, always welcoming their friends
even though they have not enough to
eat themselves. And they relieiously
visit the sick, including those who
gave contagious diseases. They are III
SO addicted to public social functions
the lnVariable mode of entertainment
being the dance. They are fond of mu.
SIC, though moi proficient in the art of
making it, probably more from lack OF
opportunity than from lack of capac
ity. The violin and guitar are the usual
instruments of music, the repertory Of
the local musicians being usually lin
tied to a few tunes Which are in euuai
demand for the dance and for the fu-
neral.
One OF the most interesting and beau
tiful of the social functions is the prem
dorlo. When a young man wishes to
marry he asks for the girl of his choice
