Organization.
To MEET AGAIN AUGUST II
Say State Should Have Larger Appro-
priation Than 5000 to Attract
lmmigrants-Commi Are
Appointed.

Madlson--Wfth the appointment of
membership committee and the deci-
sion to meet in Milwaukee again on
August II, over fifty Wisconsin land
owners and agents who met In the
PlaDkinton house decided to form a
permanent association for the promo
ton OF Wisconsin farm lands.
The men present felt that all land
men In the state should be present
when the final organization is effect
ed and for that reason postponed &C
ton temporarily.
That there was urgent need for an
organization In Wisconsin to promote
the interests of the state, to draw the
Immigrants and land settlers here in
stead Of having them pass through to
the western country, has been felt for
some time. II was also declared by
the land men that Wisconsin Immi
grafton Commissioner A. d. Camp
bell, with his $1,000 appropriation, was
badly handicapped in his work, and
although accomplishing surprising re
suits, was unable to meet the compe.
iion OF the organized forces of Can
ada, OF the western lands, and of the
southern lands. Mr., Campbell was re-
sponsible for yesterdays meeting, hay
ing issued the call to the land men
w. II. Mylrea of Wausau former
attorney general, elected temporary
chairman, was heartily in favor of the
organization system and one of the
Hruf tn
Their the advertising method He
would try all possible schemes and
through the cooperation Of the state,
land owners, railroads and newspa-
pers, as well AS through the Milwau-
kee and Chicago business men, try and
settle the Wisconsin lands.
ut is Of almost as much interest
TO Milwaukee and Chicago commercial
and business men TO settle the north
ern lands, as II is for us" said p. A.
Matineau of Marinctte. Those are the
two cities that will benefit most All
produce viii go to those markets and
all goods TO supply that country will
