Protecting His Crop In Colorado

Word has just been received from
near Sterling, Colorado Of the per-

discovered her stock in his corn help

his house where he lay for several
hours without assistance, his family
being away and not returning until
late when assistance was procured and
all aid rendered possible. The latest

The RUSH IS ON
First Batch Of Luse Land Settlers
Arrived Here On Monday.
Fine Class Of Sturdy
Pioneer Settlers.

In the first issue of the Scott Herald
we said that not little of the progress
made by the famous Tramping Lake
District was due to the efforts of the
Luse Land Co., who were placing their
fine lands with the very best of set
tiers from the States. These settlers
are men who have known pioneer work
in the northwest, who know the con-
ditions of the country and know how
to make good homes. The new set
tiers which have come to us this week,
under direction of the Luse Land and
Development Co of ST Paul, Mime
sofa, are certainly of that stamp And
they are also well provided with the
goods of this world, the wealth of IS
families being estimated at ranging
from $1,000 to $50, 900 each.
These settlers and their effects en-
trained at st, Paul, starting out with
% cars. They are gathered from wide
area from Nebraska Kansas, Iowa,
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Dakotas. The land they
will bring under cultivation is situated
in townships IS and 36, ranges 10 to 26,
and no less than twenty thousand acres
will be taken up by our new citizens.
To assist the work complete engine
blowing outfits were unloaded from
the cars on Tuesday in addition to 225
head of good horses
Their arrival has made things hum
around town. Notwithstanding the
enormous amount of machinery nipple
ments, stock ETC., that was brought in
by these wealthy settlers, fully as much
or even more goods will be purchased
locally before they move out to their
lands.
Although Scott is the market town
for the majority of the new corners,
Coblenz, Lands, Unity and Macklin
will all be benefited to some extent.
Everyone on board the special train
arrived in good spirits feeling perfectly
happy, having been shown the usual
Luse Land hospitality through their
representatives in charge: E. A. st.
John, q, A. Henderson and III. Hutch
enson. The settlers are all familiar
with Canada having made from one to
two visits to us before.
In the name of the Scott community
we extend hearty welcome to ournew
friends. We hope to gather many
more like them in the happiest com.
munity in Western Canada; the place

The immigration department report.
that with regard both to quality and
numbers the influx of new settlers is
breaking all records. According to the
present indications there will be fully
10000 Americans settle in Canads
this year. principally composed of far

The increase in American immigra

The entry certificates this year shows
that the average amount brought into
the country in cash or settlers effects is

This means that for the year abou

We also congratulate the Luse Land
Company on bringing to our district
such a fine lot of settlers. We know,
too, that they will bring many more
consignments like this one to us. They
have got the choicest land in the heart

have winning methods of doing bust

take out their first batch of homeseek-
ers, who will arrive in Scott about
April 22nd. Their courteous ways of
doing business, added to a thorough
and competent knowledge of selling
lands, is doing much to bring them to

Points Regarding The Census

The census begins April Is and
must be completed in thirty days.
The enumerators viii wear a
badge inscribed United States Cen
sus, 1910"
The law requires every adult per-
son to furnish the prescribed infor-
nation, but also provides that it
shall be treated confidentially so
that no injury can come to any per-
son from answering the questions.
The Census Bureau, prior to April
Is, will distribute to every farm ow-
ner and tenant in this state blank
or schedule containing the Census
questions relative to farm operation
and equipment. This should be fill
ed up, if possible, not later than
the morning of April Is, butif any
one has been unable to fill it up by
that time, he should do it az soon
afterwards as he can.

from others, if possible, in filling il

The President has issued pro.
clamation, calling on all citizens t.
cooperate with the Census and as
surfing them that it has nothing tc
do with taxation, army or jury ser
vice, compulsory school attendance

forcement of any law, and that nc
one can be injured by answered the
inquiries.
is of the utmost importanc
