In the current issue of the Cass
Lake times, N. M. Kohl has the fol-
lowing:
l have been in the twin cities on a
business trip for several days this
week and the nature of the business
while requiring my staying several
days, was such that l had consider
able spare time for observation. l
propose to jot down a few observa-
tions.
I-had a land deal on and in order
to help clinch my arguments for
Northern Minnesota, l took my GUS
toner over to the N. NJ. D. AS eX-
hibit room at 80 Third Street south,
Minneapolis, and landed my man.
Secretary w r.. Mackenzie has the
room all ready to put exhibits in
place. Several are already there.
les that have not sent
theirs in ought to do so at once for
they are overlooking big bet.
| will cite a few instances of in
0uiries that were made in my pres
ence at the exhibit room in the few
hours that | spent there.
A young lad about 16 years old
looked in at the door and appeared
so interested that Mr.. Mackenzie
asked him to come in. Mr.. M. asked
him if he was interested in land or
if his father was The lad answered
that his father was not but that his
mother was They had been watch
ing for the opening of the exhibit
room. He stated that there were sew
en- boys in the family and five of them
were figuring On going to farms. He
stated that they would all come over
to look at the exhibits in the course
of week
Another man who called stated
that he is in the market for tract
or tracts anywhere from 40 acres to
1000 acres Of cutOver land in North
ern Minnesota. His name is being
sent all the subscribers.
Another young man came in with
his wife and stated that he had saved
up $4,000, and is preparing to pur-
chase a tract Of 160 acres of cutover
land, possibly larger which he in
tends to develop into a stock and
lc,l,o fo Iln .f0 q a ~
hour and both he and his wife show
ed by the Intelligence of their in
quiries that they have studied the
matter thoroughly. They expressed
a preference for the Hackensack
Cass county, country. Mr.. Macken-
zie could not find the name of any
subscriber to the Immigration fund
from Hackensack, so he had to SEND
the name to the nearest subscriber iT
Cass county. The moral of this is
that all Northern Minnesota lane
men should get busy and send in
subscriptions to A. G. Wedge of Be-
midi, treasurer Of the commission in
to them as they inquire.
Another young man from Rice
county came in Said he had farmet
for several years and was interested
in Mile Laos county. Intended tC
investigate and buy there if suited
Mr.. Mackenzie referred him to Min,
| 11-l~ hco r.
the fund, and also wrote the parties
in Mile Lacs county who had sub
scribed to the fund, giving them the
mans address.
; A middle aged man from NORTH
Dakota who has sold his farm toli
Mr.. Mackenzie that he wants a Rec
River Valley farm and will be il
again in the course of a month tt
talk over the matter In the mean.
, time Mr.. Mackenzie sent his name tt
, all the subscribers in the Red Riv-
er Valley, so they can get busy writ
ing the man.
Nearly fifty people called at the
: exhibit rooms Monday. l have men.
toned only a few of those l saw in
order to give Northern Minnesota
people all idea of how the work i:
progressing. I hope that all banks
land men, and farmers who have
land to sell will send in subscrip:
tions to the treasurer, A. G. Wedge
Bemidji, Mimi, in order that they
may be entitled to the lists of names
that Secretary Mackenzie will senC
out I wish Northern Minnesota pa.
pers would copy the above, or al
least give digest of it in order te
help insure the permanency of the
exhibit. 1t will do great work.
One feature CT the exhibit room il

and pick up from the table the news.
papers from the counties they are in
terested in, to look over. 1t is tc
be regretted that only 80 of the 1Ss
papers in Northern Minnesota are
sending their papers for the table
, All should send them to w. r. Mac
kenzie, secretary, 80 Third Street
south, Minneapolis, MINI. They
should all get busy and boost all the
time. People will see your papers il
you send them to Mack. ,-.. =.
