Lansford, N. D., Sept. 19.-The date
has beer set for the monster booster
meeting to be held at Lansford, when
the business men of the loop country
will get together and devise ways n
means for the proper advertising of
the of the loop with the
view of attracting more settlers.
After hearing from nearly all Of the
cities and towns interested it was de-
cided Wednesday evening to hold the
meeting on the afternoon of Wednes-
day, Sept. "a, beginning at 1 o'clock
sharp.
At the present writing it Is safe to
announce that w. H. Kilfen, immigra-
ton commissioner of the 500 Line,
will be here, and it is altogether like
ly that E. c. Leedy, immigration COM
missioner Of the Great Northern, will
have a representative here at that
time. 1t is also expected that we will
be able to secure E.. J.. Lander of
Grand Forks, who is president of the
North Dakota Federation of CONNER
cial clubs, with us that day. Mr.. Land
er is intensely interested in anything
that has for its object the develop
ment of the state, and as he ha been
through the Red river valley develop
ment period he is amply qualified to
give advice to us at his time.
