tiers of the county and the young
er Robinson, now recognized as

STUDY QUESTION ABROAD
Part Of immigration Commission Will
Visit Europe.

Visit Europe.
Washington, April 24.-The immi-
grafton commission was in session for
three hours considering the details of
the proposed investigation. 1t was
practically decided that all of the nine
members of the commission except
Commissioner of Labor Neill and Pro-
fessor jerks should proceed to Europe
for the purpose of prosecuting the in
quiry there and that Messrs. Neill and
jerks should carry on the work In
this country. The members who will
go abroad will leave some time dur
ing the latter part of May and they
probably will begin their work in
Southern Italy, gradually proceeding
northward into Poland, Russia and
other European countries from which
large numbers of immigrants come.
They will give especial attention to
the class of immigration and the in
ducements offered to immigrants. The
subjects which will receive especial
attention at home are the distribution
Of immigrants and their congestion in
the large cities. Particular attention
will be given to the latter subject, as it
is generally felt that the concentration
Of the newly arrived foreigners in the
principal centers of population is one
of the greatest evils connected with
the question of immigration.

A recent issue of the Minneapo-
lis Tribune sets forth a page of
fact and comment with regard to
North Dakota and its splendid
possibilities for the immigrant.
Among other comments is that Of
Ralph w. Wheelock, formerly a
resident Of the territory, whose
familiarity with North Dakota and
it's resources enables him to speak
understandinglv. Mr.. Wheelock
says:
"An acquaintance Of 25 years, al
most to a day, with the state OF
North Dakota-or part Of the
territory brought into the Union
in February, lSS9-entitles me to
speak by the card as to the ener-
getic character Of it's citizenship,
the progressive spirit its lnstltu-
tions, and the extent and variety
Of its resources. No passing ex-
aggerating Of weather conditions,
no temporary abridgement of its
railroad facilities, no purely local
instances of distress, can prejudice
the commonwealth in the eyes Of
the unbiased outsider, looking for
a location. After passing through
the vicissitudes of a new country,
the state of North Dakota can
can point to an almost unbroken
record of ten years of substantial
growth in population, of remark
able crop results, and of extensive
railroad enterprises that would not
have been projected and carried to
conclusion had there ever been
any question as to the future. In
compiling the showing as to the
exact conditions that prevailed
during January and February last
and in again calling attention to
the great promise and unsurpassed
resources of the state, the Tribune
is only actuated by a desire to
anticipate the hostile attacks Of To-
calities that might seek to profit
by exaggeration and misrepressen-
tation, and has no notion to
present brief for a discredited
state. North Dakota has ever
been all right, and no more SO than
now, when the extremities of the
early winter turn out to have been
blessings in disguise

TAFT DISCUSSES CUBA.
Found Affairs There in Satisfactory
Condition. u

Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Taft, who has arrived in Washington
from his trip to Panama, Cuba and
Porto Rico, gave out a statement in
which he says he found matters in
Cuba "in what under the circum-
stances must be considered salts
factory condition." that there is every
ground for hope that the plan adopted
for a census, preliminary election and
then a general election six months
later will result in the selection Of a
president and congress who will be
able to maintain themselves and give
stable rule to the island; and that the
delay in taking census is taken by
the Cubans as an earnest of the Amer
lean governments desire to secure a
stable government before it leaves,

ond intervention" ~
Discussing canal work the secretary
expressed the liveliest satisfaction.
The work of excavation and, indeed,
all phases of the canal work, said the
secretary, were progressing under
Colonel Goethals' management quite
as rapidly as they had under the di-
rection Of Mr.. Stevens.
