The more or less esteemed St.

the governor of Minnesota
seems to be handling the pa
tronage problem with prompt
ness and judgement. Right
you are, Alvah; in the minds of
the st. Cloud bunch" rare good
judgement is being displayed.

the program, that was attended

The Sank Centre citizen who
buys out of town anything that
he can purchase here sends away
from home money that should
remain here, and thus deprives
Sank Centre from receiving
benefit from that same money.
It's a good deal like cutting off
ones nose to spite ones face.
And yet there are people here
who do that sort of a thing and
justify themselves in so doing.
Is that the way to build up a
town?

Increase in Population.

Fusan and Jinsen are the two prin-
cipal ports of Korea. Fusan is one Of
the best ports in the far east, only 30
miles from the northern extremity Of
Tsushima island, Japan. The town has
fine streets and is densely populated.
All over the town commercial activity
is in evidence. The population in
cludes 10000 Japanese, whose admin
istration of the town is rapidly in
creasing it's prosperity. Jinsen, open
to trade since 1882, was then only a
small fishing village. It is also pros.
porous, with population Of $500, one
third Japanese.
