Y J.. w. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railway exposed a good idea
with reference to securing more far
mers for Ramsey county. He suggests
that each farmer in the county write
to 10 Of his friends back east and tell
them Of the advantages here 1t: is
the best plan ever invented according
to Mr.. Hill and in order to see it
worked out am willing to send q
representative Of the Great Northern
to confer with your Commercial club
TO have the idea encouraged. The
plan seems very feesable and in the
interview which Mr.. Hills had with Mr..
Horton president OF the Commercial
club It is very likely that the idea will
be carried out. |s # i s5 5::s5

The reputation Of the Devils Lake
nursery has grown considerable this
year, probably more so than in former
years due to the fact that the Great
Northern and Nortern Pacific railroads
have been supplied with trees for this
city, showing the high regard that is
held for the local nursery institution.
Five carloads Of trees have been sup

211% people turned away at every per-
formance during the twenty-one weeks of
the season. What their profits have been
