Replying, Mr.. Bacon said that to
change the manner of electing sena-
tors without giving the States control
was grave risk. Speaking OF the
past experiences OF the South he said:

tended heroically against conditions
which confronted them, civilization

"Gentlemen:- i
'The Secretary's office Of this club
has just completed the compilation OF
series of tables upon the distribu-.
ton of population throughout the state
Of North Dakota. The basis for these
statistical records Is had from the
1910 census figures which have been
reported.
1--WE note from these tables the fact.
that Devils Lake and Ramsey County
have made a most excellent showing
in the past ten years and it is pleas.
ure to US to congratulate you upon
your growth and upon your FUTURE
which is certainly most promising
ty in 1900 was 9,19S. In 1910 you !
have 1919, gain of 5000 or of 65M.a
Over 1000 Of this gain was in your
farming population. Your county
stands tenth in the number gained in
the past ten years. 4,
The city of Devils Lake makes a.
still more satisfactory showing. Your
population in 1890 was S46; in 1900s
1929; in 1906, 1857; and in 1910, $751;
In the past ten years you have gained
in population $685., 2790 Of which
have come to your city in the last i've
years. This is a rather remarkable
growth for the five year period; i'm
fact Devils Lake is the only city I'm
the state that has gained more people
between the years 1905 and 1910 than
Grand Forks. We gained more peo-
pie in the ten year period than YOU
did, as our gain from 1900 to 1910. was
1926 while yours was 1928, but on the
five year period was 1851, while yours
was 1880.
I'm this connection we might cali
attention to the fact that in the en-
tire state there are only four cities
that have gained 1000 or more people
in the last five years, and everyone
of these cities is in the north half OF
the state. They are Grand Forks.
Devils Lake, Minot and Williston.
Grand Forks has made a very sat
isfactory gain and we are congratulate
ing ourselves upon our showing, as
well as that of our sister cities west
of us. We naturally compare our
growth with that of Fargo and when
we say to you that in the past ten
years Grand Forks has gained 1926 Or
500, while Fargo has gained 4724 or
1870, and that in the five year period
from 1906 to 1910 the showing is. still
more satisfactory, being a gain Tor
Grand Forks of 1921 or 1870 as aginst
Fargo's 1919 or 1870, you will see that
we have reason for congratulating our
selves. Il
There is little question but that the
northern half of North Dakota is the
best half of the state and that her citt.
es and towns have a great future be-
fore them. We are glad to note the
proud position which Devils Lake
takes in it's gain in the past five and
ten years and congratulate you upon
this growth which gives promise of a
truly great and useful future.
when Grand Forks or this Com
mercial club can be of use to you, let
us hear from you:
