WHAT MINNESOTA OFFERS.
immigrants viii Find Minnesota the
Best State for Farming.

Washington, July 23.-Minnesota's of
ferings to Scandinavian and German
immigrants are well set forth in a let
ter lust received from Governor John
son. at the new information bureau of
the immigration division of the depart
ment of commerce and labor. The let
ter is in response to the request for in
formation sent out to all governors by
T. V Powderly, chief of the bureau of
immigration.
The letter from Governor johnson
states that there is demand in Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth for skill
ed labor of all kinds; and demand
throughout the state at large for COM
mon labor and for farm help, particu-
larly the latter.
Mechanics are in demand in the three
cities. saws Governor johnson, with the
greatest demand apparent in the build
ing trades.
Heads of families are desired, and set
tiers in unlimited numbers are needed,
according to the governor.
The nationalities preferred are Amer
lean, Scandinavian and German. The
spirit of ''bost" Characteristic of most
Minnesotans is shown in answer to the
questions:
Does your state offer inducements to
settlers on land?"
Good climate, good water, prosper
Gus surroundings, the best of education
al facilities and church associations" is
the answer, which Director Powderly
admits is as good as more material Of
ferings in the way of a direct bonus.
Efforts are now being made to get
into direct communication with manu-
facturers and employers throughout the
country, and particularly through the
west and northwest, in the effort to
find out just where immigrants are
needed, and what class of men should
be sent to each locality.
The bureau of information is appeal
ing to manufacturers associations for
help in getting into touch with the
IN aufacturers, and is asking all large
employers to write offering what sugges-
tions they can for the better distribu-
ton of the immigrants and outlining
their own needs.

The kidney secretions were irregular.

noyed me greatly at night when
would have to get up several times.
I decided to try Doan's Kidney Pills,
which learned about at that time,
and procured hox at the Pendleton

Old Mine in Bad Condition.

T. S. Kennerly passed through Gran

had been there for a week, he having
completed sampling the property. Mr..
Kennerly reports that they found the
mine workings in very poor shape,
The mine has been idle for over 10
years, and in that time many of the
timbers have decayed till they can be
picked to pieces with candlestick
and are of little use as supports. While
no serious caves have yet occurred
in the mine, there may be large
