SUPERINTENDENT SHERMAN
WANTS MORE IMMIGRATION
Is Pleased with Land Sale.-Says Land Is Being Sold
to Actual Settlers Northern Minnesota
Busy Country.

In speaking of the land sale held
here yesterday, F. D. Sherman,
superintendent of immigration de-
partment of the state auditors office
states:
About $500 acres of land were
transferred from the state to indi-
viduals, and in the passing of these
lands, the state school fund has
been enriched. Beltrami county's
assets has been increased materially
and over fifty actual settlers have
come into possession of lands.
I have noticed the sale this year
with satisfaction, particularly in the
timber portions of Minnesota, where
the demand, although perhaps not
quite as brisk as in former years,
has come more through the actual
settler, that is tillers of the soil,
than from spectators. The above
fact speaks worlds for the future of
Beltrami county and northern Mime
sofa.
What northern Minnesota wants
I todav ic rore civilization and lesc
speculation, more good farm ers and
less squatters, more hustlers and
less knockers and present indications
are that this long-felt want is at
hand, for never before in the history
of the state has the prospects for
rapid development been so bright
as it is today.
THE tide of immigration from
foreign states to the south and last
which, lured by misleading adver-
Using, has for the past five years,
been passing right through Mime
sofa and settling on the prairies of
western Canada.
But those conditions have passed.

Thousands of acres of farm lands
are now lying idle in northern
Minnesota and only await the
arrival of the farmer to develop and

Thousands of acres of land are
still untouched and thousands of
settlers are still needed, but thanks
to our state immigration board,

northern Minnesota, immigration is
pouring in by the hundreds. Much
