With the organization of an immi-
grafton movement at Devils Lake,
backed by several other clubs of that

Devils Lake club has placed an eff

work and will push the proposition
vigorously.
The immigration work carried on
by the several clubs Of the Minot dis
trict has been successful, according to
J. M. Devine, who was in. charge Of
the exhibits maintained in central east
districts.
Another important project backed
by the Devils Lake club is the con-
struction of the Lake-International
way to the boundary from Devils
Lake. The plan of handling active
construction work next season has
been quite well laid out, and it Is ex-
pected to do extensive work on the
highway, which will prove to be an
other link in the northwest's system
Of automobile roads.
