Gradually New York began to wake up to the knowl

power for good in the person of one woman. To the
average New Yorker the great East Sde where in

Not the least interesting feature in all this work

Miss Valid is not of those
reformers who seek to uplift

its acute stage in that melting

great East Side of New York

frightful congestion in the

the task of going into the

The state of Minnesota is getting
some valuable advertising at the pres.
ent time in some of the largest East
ern magazines. A recent issue of The
Country Gentleman, an agricultural
paper of national circulation, contain
ed an editorial which gave the Min
nesOta state board of immigration
much publicity, and at the same time
called public attention to the re.
sources and opportunities OF Minneso-
Ia. In this article The Country Gentle.
man mentioned the fact that Minneso-
ia has approximately $4,000 900 acres
of undeyeloped lands capable of pro-
viding 10000 farms of 100 acres
each. It also quotes the price of
Minnesota lands, which range from So
per acre for wild land to $125 for
highly improved farms.
The Youths Companion Of July II
published an editorial highly compli'
mentary of Minnesota and pointed out
the fact that Minnesota had wisely
handled her state lands, so that today
she has permanent trust fund of
over $29, 0O0,00 and will have in 1860
a fund Of 100000, 600. Articles OF this
character, appearing in. such largely
circulated papers, are of incalculable
value to Minnesota. AS result Of
this publicity many inquiries are be-
ing received by the state board Of I'm
