MANY SETTLERS ATTRACTED.
Number Seeking Maryland Farms
Steadily Increasing.

By resolution Of the State Board ot
Immigration Superintendent Hines
and secretary Trappe are sending out
TO every real estate man in the state
q list Of applicants for Information
concerning Maryland and the R.iyan-
tageA offered here for settlement.
These real estate agents will form a
cooperating body Ia the movement TO
induce settlers 20 come 90 this state.
More than 800 names are included
in the list. This number embraces ali
who made inquiries OF the local nu-
thorities during the last three months
OF the past year.
Secretary Trappe said this morning
that Maryiands advantages were at
tracing more and more attention
every day, 40 evidenced by the con-
stantly increasing number OF people
In other states who are writing and
visiting Maryland. In the hope OF bet
tering their condition.
Only today" said Mr.. Trappe, I'VE
have three men here from Wisconsin,
one from New York, three from Mon
tana and two from Pennsylvania, ALI
looking for farms. Yesterday we had
almost az many, and tomorrow--weii
i guess We will have no less. We
are very busy, and believe we are
securing a good class OF citizens In
the new settlers. They are an Im-
proyement over the average foreigner
in that they have some money when
they arrive. and they have a desire TO
settle down and improve their farms.
We are capturing a number OF our
settlers from the West. Many Of
these are originally from the East or
South who went West and were dis
appointed. They are now turning
their faces toward the rising sun and
hundreds OF families are removing
East. Maryland is certainly captur-
Ing her share OF these. We sent three
families into Prince Georges county
only day or two ago from Wisconsin.
AS for foreigners, they continue to
come also. The Danish colony in
Charles county has been increased re-
Gently by 80 families and three more
families are now bound for America
for the Swiss colony In Dorchester
county"

Small Quantities.

Governor CrOthers and members of
the State Roads Commission are great
ly gratified al their success IN dispos-
ing OF S225.000 OF the good road bonds
at premium, and II is now proposed.
II possible. that all the bonds for this
great Maryland Improvement shall be-
taken up by the people Of Maryland
and not by outsiders.
In speaking OF the bonds the Gov
ernor said:
Our preference In 10 have the peo-
Pile OF this State take up these bonds
themselves and believe the will.
This is our own improvement and
there ls no reason why Maryland
should not take the bonds. Everyone
knows the splendid financial condition
OF thie State. II Is practically free
from all debt Its bonds are as good
as gold. Here Is 3h per cent. In.
terest-bearing bond without taxation
and as safe as II is possible for any
investment 10 be. There are In this
State many savings institutions. banks
Rud trust companies TO which We will
Rok TO buy these bonds. and believe
they will do II. N they w&nt an abso.
lutely safe and sound investment for
their trust funds and savings they
cannot do better than invest in these
Kilt-edEe Maryland bonds.
Another thing that ] would like 10
zee is the buying Of these bonds In
small quantities by individuals
throughout the State There are
plenty OF men and women in Mary
land who have their money In bank
at per cent. interest Here they can
get a bond nj 3h per cent. which IL
hs secure an investment as any bank,
and do not believe there will he any
real Sifiiculty when the people realize
Just what these bonds are. Those who
want them can get them nov az any
time. All they have 10 do Ii 10 opdA
up negotiations with the Board Of Pub
lie Works and there need be- no delay.
We are ready TO dispose Of the bonds
In large or small quantities. We pre-
fer 10 dispose Of them TO Maryland
people and the more Maryland men
and women who buy the bonds the
better we will be pleased"

AIasla's Hidden treasures.

Alaska has more gold than ever had
California. Australia or South Africa;
II has more copper than twenty Buttes;
II has more hard coal than Pennsyl-
vania, II has more tin than Wales.
The hay that rots on its tundras and
plains would fatten all the cattle that
roaA upon the prairies OF Kansas,
Oklahoma and Texas. And there the
wild, fertile, untouched plains and
valleys await the axe, the spade, the
plough and the reaper OF half mill
lion American farmers and gardeners.
The fur product OF Alaska runs into
the millions each year, yet II is so far
overshadowed by the gold brought
down by the fast passenger steamers
that the cargoes OF the little schoon-
ers which call at the less frequented
trading camps for a burden OF furs,
ivory and fish are almost forgotten In

which Alaska pays 10 the United States
