An Indiana COLONY.

One of the results of the missionary
work performed by the Great North
ern exhibition car, which contained
samples of farm products from this
locality, is the location OF q colony of
Indiana people on the beach lands
west of here. Their attention was d.
rected to this locality by what they
saw ia the exhibition car, and they de.
cided to make homes in the country
from which the exhibits came. E. G.
Leedy, general Immigration agent OF
the Great Northern, gives this illus
tration of the etfec, of q visit of the
exhibition car to one Indiana town:
with further reference to the move
ment of the bomeseekers from Bluff
ton, Indiana, to Carter, Montana, az q
result of the exhibition car bcing at
that point, | am advised that % more
homeseekers have left Button for
Carter; this making a total of II per-
cons since the a was there"
The town of Garter Is about fifteen
miles west OF here, and is the center
of q large dry farming district.
