SEEK IMMIGRANTS
SAYS GOV. Hanna
Chief Executive Thinks war
Should Bring Flood of
New Settlers.
PLAN SUGGESTED
TO ASSIST STATE
Boosting Agents Should be
be Sent to European
Countries at Once.

North Dakota should at once pre-
pare to take advantage of the food of
immigration which will probably en-
sue at the close of the present great
European war. according to Governor
/. B. Hanna who is in the city today
attending the meeting of the republi-
can state executive committee.
ION my return from Europe" said
the governor today. u talked with the
chief immigration officer of the port
of Boston who had been in the service
for the last 40 years or more.
He told me. and the immigration
statistics hear him out. that immigra-
ton increased greatly at the close Of
the Franco-Prussian war in 1871 and
1872.
II am inclined to believe that a
similar condition will result at the
close of the present struggle. Many
homes are bound to be broken up.
and many families will find it to their
advantage to seek new homes in a
country which has not been ravaged
by war.
North Dakota should at once be-
gin preparations to obtain the most
desirable of these immigrants as set
tiers.
Il believe that it would be a good
idea for the legislature at its coming
session to appropriate sum of money
for the employment of agents in
Europe, who will at once begin to
boost for the state among the classes
which we desire as immigrants
This work should be done chiefly
in the rural districts. rather than in
the cities as it is farmers who are
needed in this state at the present
time.
THE state is ALREADY well known
throughout the north of Europe The
members Of the party who went to
the Christiania exposition last sum-
mer found that North Dakota was
familiar to large number of the
people Of the Scandinavian peninsular.
If proper steps are taken I see no
reason why we should not skim the
cream from the stream of immigration
which may be expected to flow across
the ocean.
''It is probable that many of the
large land holders of the state would
be willing to make advantageous
terms with settlers Of this class, and
in this way a most desirable addition
to the farming population could be
secured"

Campbell Beats Movement To Gust
Him From Bull Moose Ticket Thro
Decision of Secretary Thomas Hall

Secretary of State Thomas Hall, by
declaring his intention Of placing the
names Of Bull Moose candidates on
the general election ballot, as they
were nominated in the recent prim-
ary. instead of demanding the circula-
tion of petitions because of the alleg-
ed insufficiency of the vote cast, has
unwittingly defeated a movement
within the ranks of the Progressive
party, which was intended to remove
Dan Campbell of Northwood, from
the ticket as the party's candidate for
lieutenant governor, and substitute
Frank j. Temple Of Washburn, in his
stead.
The. plan for the substitution of Mr..
Temple has been we'll mapped out.
Already the name of Mr.. Campbell
had been erased from the Progress
sive party advertising matter, and
that of Mr.. Temple was borne prom
inently as the candidate.
i However, Secretary Halls decision
to abide by the opinion of the at
torney general, which is to the effect
that the law requiring certain per-
centage of the vote to be cast at the
primary election, is unconstitutional.

FARMERS HOLDING
FOR HIGH PRICES
Deposits in Banks of City
Show Effect in Reports
to the Government

Deposits in the banks Of Grand
Forks amounted to $2.733,O2753 at
the close of business September 12,
according to the statements prepared
by the various institutions in response
to the calls issued by the national
comptroller of the currency and the
state auditor
The general opinion is that these
deposits would be larger were it not
for the general disposition on the part
of the farmers in this and other por-
tions of the state to hold their grain
in the expectation of higher prices.
Since the price Of wheat broke last
week practically none of the farmers
who were in position to hold on
have disposed Of their holdings, and
the bank deposits have suffered ac-
cordingly.
Another rise in the price will, it is
believed, cause a large amount Of
grain to ibe sold. and the bank deposits
will be increased accordingly.
The total deposits are distributed
IN the various banks of the city as
follows, according to their statements:

Miss Laura Keen, After
Exploring Glaciers in
Alaska, Sails for Seattle

SEATTLE, Oct. 1O-Miss Laura
Keen, of Philadelphia, widely known
as a mountain-climber, sailed for Sc
attic on the steamship Admiral Wat
son last night from Valdez, Alaska,
where she went early in August to
explore the glaciers and fiords at the
head of Prince William sound. Miss
Keen, with Fl. L. Tucker, of Boston,
and G. w. Handy and George Rabehl,
went into the interior from Valdez as
far as Harvard aglacier and also Wis
tied Barry glacier, Serpentine glacier,
Hartman ford and College ford.
Our expedition was for scientific
research only" said Miss Keen. I'VE
took a number of photographs to de-
termine the changes that have taken
place in the glaciers. We found that
some of the great bodies of them were
advancing and some retreating. Ser
pentine glacier and Hartman ford
have gone back about a quarter of a
mile in the last year, while College
ford is advancing
