thought that it was up to him to

EVERY COUNTY SHOWS A GAIN
Report Indicates That sStep System
is Taking Place &, 900 Immigrants
Locate in State During Year.

More than one hundred new farm
ers have located in Beltrami county
during the past year, according to a
report which has just been issued by
Fred Sherman, immigration commits
sioner, and which also shows that
Minnesota has approximately 5000
more farmers this year than she had
last. Taking these 5000 farmers
and calculating on the usual basis
of five to each family, it means that
25,0OO immigrants have come to
Minnesota during the past year.
Sends Out Letter
These figures are arrived at by a
system of correspondence with land
dealers all over the state. Thirty days
ago Mr.. Sherman sent letters to 5000
land dealers in Minnesota asking
them to give him the names of par
|
sofa Land in other states who had
moved to Minnesota and were occupy
ing their farms. To these letters
AS have replied, which when totalled
show that 1888 living in other
states have bought Minnesota land
and moved here. The states con-
tributing to the immigration are as
follows in order named: Iowa, Illi-
nois, Nebraska, South Dakota and In
diana, and the balance scattering
from practically every state in the
union. According to returns every
county in the state has received some
new farmers. Z ,-
The "Step System
A significant feature of this report
is that the counties of Southern and
Central Minnesota have received the
largest number of immigrants. This
clearly indicates that the "Stop sys-
tenn is taking place in Minnesota
In other words, the Iowa and Illi-
nois farmers are selling their 5000
and $500 lands and buying the $l00
lands of the farmers in Southern
Minnesota farmers are moving far
ther North and buying the, cheaper
lands of Northern Minnesota No
attempt was made to gather data as
to sales made to Minnesota men, but
"a great many letters received from
Northern Minnesota land dealers in
form Mr.. Sherman that they have
sold but very few tracts to people
living outside of the state and have
dealt almost entirely with men from
Southern and Central Minnesota.
State Land Omitted
These figures do not take into
consideration the state lands sold to
nOn-residents. The State Auditors
report for the year of 1913 shows
that state lands were sold to 1O9 par
ties living outside of Minnesota.
Neither does it take into considera-
tion the men who have filed on Min
nesota homesteads. Reports from
the three Government Land offices
show that during the past year
2,304 people have filed on Minnesota
homestead lands, and as replies are
coming in slowly every day from
these letters, it is a very conserva-
tive estimate to place the total of
new residents in this state at 5000.

Washington, May 4.-Licentiate
Esteya Ruiz has been appointed min
lister of foreign affairs in the Huerta
cabinet, to succeed Portillo y Rojas,
retired.
The Spanish ambassador here was
officially informed of the appointment
by cable. He communicated the new
appointment to the mediators.
Ruiz, the new foreign minister, was
under secretary of Portillo. He has
assisted in the mediation negotiations
and it is authoritatively stated that
the change will not affect the con.
tinued progress of the mediation plan.
Ruiz had been referred to as prob.
able Huerta commissioner in case the
mediators proposed a commission rep
resenting all parties to the contro-
versy!
The Spanish ambassador, Mr. Riano,
carried the cable announcement of
Ruiz appointment to the Argentine
legation. The mediators were at once
called together and a conference be-
gan, with the Spanish ambassador TAX
ing part.
Change Not Significant.
It Is pointed out that the acceptance
Of the Huerta government both Of
good offices and of the armistice was
in complete force, so that the retire.
ment of Portillo was construed by
the mediators as being merely the
change of one man, and not of great
significance on the main issues of
mediation.
Outside the mediation conference
the bearing of the RUM appointment
caused widespread speculation.
The fact that he had been men
toned as probable Huerta commits
sioner in case the mediators proposed
a commission to settle the entire
trouble led to the belief that Ruiz
would pursue the same friendly pol
icy that Portillo had shown in the ne
gotiations up to this time
But in some quarters it was felt
that Huerta himself was directing af-
fairs with a strong hand and that
Ruiz was more amenable to Huerta's 8
direction than Portillo had been. ;
It was pointed out that according
to the Mexican constitution the min
lister Of foreign affairs succeeded to
the presidency in case of the presi-
dents retirement, when there is no
vice president, as is the case now
In Mexico. Hence Portillo was next
in line for the presidency and Ruiz is
now in that position.

chin, at the puffy hands. Then he
turned slowly, waving his hand in

MADE IMMORTAL BY GENIUS
Writer Tells Of Sordid Places That
Are Made Bright by Memories
Of Dickens.

Mr.. F. Hopkinson Smith, while In
London, sought out and visited the
various places made memorable by
their connection with Charles Dickens
name. Mr.. Smith was especially i'm
pressed by the fact that memories of
Dickens were still vivid in the minds
of the people. A little printer boy
showed him where Dickens earned six
shillings week, tyingsup and labelling
pots of backing.
"Oh, | know him, gov'nor," was the
usual answer of the older inhabitants
to Mr. Smiths inquiries "Over there
he used to live, and II amt far from
here to Camden Town, where he lived
when he was working in the blacking
place" He was even able to find an
urchin who could point out the spot
where Dickens dropped stealthily one
evening, with fear and trembling, into
dark letter box up dark court in
Fleet street" the first Of the Sketches
by Boz"
He was especially pleased with his
visit to the house where Dickens went
to board after his marriage OF this,
he says:
THE place is still a delightful,
typically English boarding house. kept
by two of the most charming old ladies
you ever saw. Dickens and his wife
occupied little tucked-up room tackled
on to the back OF the house. I meas
ured the place myself and it was eight
feet every way. 1t has one small win

Reforming the Roards 70.

The boarding house had changed
hands, and the regular boarders were
changing some of their habits to suit
the aggressive new landlady. The
sword had fallen rather promiscuously
during this pruning of bad habits, but
they were all amused when it struck
the naughty young professor. Sitting
with his head bowed gracefully on his
shapely hand, 1t was his custom to pay
no attention to the things that were
passed around the breakfast table.
The landlady brought in a plate of
hot biscuits and held them in front of
him. He did not look up. She logged
his elbow. and looking up he said lofti-
ly: II do not care to be disturbed

The regular boarders stopped eating,

PROFIT IN GROWING WEEDS
Wisconsin Agricultural Professor
Shows How Hundred Dollars an
Acre Can Be Made.

A profit of 500 an acre from grow
critics is possibility for any farmer,
according to experiments which Prof.
E. Kremer of the State Agricultural
college of Wisconsin has been making
on four-acre tract near Madison.
Catnip, boneset, spearmint, pepper
mint, sage, horehound and tansy are
some of the drug weeds which Pro-
fessor Kremer found could be grown
with profit. For all these there is q
steady market, and they can be grown
with no more care or attention than
ordinary timothy hay. While the lat
ter is high at one cent a pound, the
leaves of the drug weeds, when prop
erly dried and cured, may be sold for
from three TO eight cents pound.
Spearmint is one of the many weeds
ordinarily neglected which Professor
Kremer finds can be grown with profit.
Manufacturers Of chewing gum and
other commodities use large quantities
and 1t can be grown on wet, soggy
ground which is useless for any other
purpose.
The finest quality of catnip can be
sold for eight cents a pound, while
sage and peppermint present good pos
sibilities of profit. The boneset is a
wild plant usually growing in marshy
ground. 1t may be planted broadcast
like timothy and the dried plants are
worth from five to six cents pound.
