When the final adjournment of the
fourth annual convention of the Nor
thern Minnesota Development As
ISOLATION took place yesterday after
noon it brought to an end one of the
most, ifnot the most, successful meet
irgs ever held by the organization.
When the meeting was called and
just previous to the calling of the
convention. to order, many of it's chief
boosters were of the opinion that the
association was on sits last legs .
which is exactly the same expression
used by president elect c. A. ALL
bright in his speech Immediately toll
lowing his election.
The sentiment as expressed by tie
president seemed to be general. But
the meeting proved that there was
much more to be done, that the as
ISOLATION had not oHtWcrn It's. useful
mass. AS q consequence it is doubtful
if the development association was
e,e1 as strong as it is today.
Immediately following the adj
journment the executive committee
met ana decided ITO carry on gen
cral advertising work; to improve
conditions in our counties; to place
Inducements before Intending settlers
TIC urge the different counties to en-
rloy agricultural development agents
AND ask counties to get suitable adj
vertising matter to aid the different
immigrations agencies in their
work.
The reelection of W. R. Mackenzie
as secretary of the association did
not come as much of surprise but
only as a commentator of his work
as an official of the association He
has held the office for four years and
has always shown enthusiasm for it's
work which has had much to do with
the success of it's many undertakings
