immigration From United States to
Canada Falling Off. ~

Washington, July 11.-Secretar!
Wilson of the department of labor is
pleased at reports that fewer Ameri-
can citizens are immigrating to Can
ada. r.
Two years ago 91,971- Americans
went to Canada, while the humber re-
turning from that country to the
United States was only 3S,317. =
For the eleven months ending May
81, 1914, it is said at the department,
1896 citizens of this country went
into the Dominion, while 44,127 Amer
leans returned to the United States.
A gratifying feature Of the return
movement to Secretary Wilson is that
large numbers of those coming back
are seeking information from the de-
partment as to the location of land
on which they may settle.

|BEMIDJI IS GIVEN
100000 FOR SITE
- Is ',zS
General Deficiency Bill Reported to
the House Of Representatives. Car
ries Appropriation for Postoftice.
USE IN BEGINNING STRUCTURE
Plan is to Rush Work in Order That
congested Conditions Nay Be Re-
lieved in Near Future.

While the belief has been general
that Bemidji will not have its federal
building for at least four years, in
formation from Washington is to the
effect that next spring may see the
ground broken for its construction.
In the general deficiency bill which
has just been reported to the house
of representatives, provision is car
ried which calls for an appropriation
of $4,000, to be used for the pur-
chase. of site here and beginning of
the construction.
Site Still Secret.
Officials at Washington have not
given out any information concern
ing the selection of site for the
new structure, but may do so at any
time, according to announcement
made by c. A. Lindbcrgh, congress
mon from this district.
In Congested Condition.
Both government officials, who
came here for the purpose of investi-.
eating as to the proper location Of
the federal building recommend that
the conditions here be relieved as
soon as possible. With it's six clerks,
assistant postmaster and postmaster,
the Bemidji office handles more work
than any other office in cities of the
same size, and even larger, in the
northwest. The building now in use
=, is far too small and the con ested
conditions make it extremely difficult
for the clerks to do their work prop
erly, although the local office is re-
garded as one of the most efficient in
the service.
T Special Man on Job.
In order that these conditions may
,be eradicated as soon as possible, it
is probable that a special architect
, may be named to draw the plans for
the Bemidji building, this being
necessary because of the chief archi-
tect being several years behind in HIS
/ work.
" Three New Routes, Z,
There are now two rural mail car
riers travelling from Bemidji, but be-
fore another year three more are.
likely to be established, says Post
master Erickson. Three petitions
are now being considered, one of
which will be acted upon as soon as
a short piece of road has been COM
pleted. The new routes will be as
follows, one going east and north
from Bemidji to within three miles
of Turtle River, taking in Lavinia
and other lake points; one going to
! Maltby and taking in what is now
known as the Star route and the 9TH
er going straight south, returning by
Farris, Rosby and the brick yard.

CITY THAT SAW MAxM|uAN'S FINISH WILL Re
THE FEDERALS NEXT STAND

Zacatecas, June 27.-General Viii
la is today on his way to Aguas
Calientes to direct the forward move
ment of the constitutionalist army
Little resistance is expected there. 1t
is believed the federals will concen-
trate at Queretaro, where they will
make their next and last stand be-
fore retreating to Mexico City.
Villas army is almost certain to
sweep the federals southwark and
then the capital itself will become
the scene of carnage.
A report is current that officers
are deserting from the federal army
and that the soldiers are demoraliz-
ed. Recruits are focking to Villa
from every part of central Mexico.

has grown more and more anxious
Business men have acted as some
men do who fear they will have to
undergo an operation, and who are
not sure that when they get on the
table the operation will not be q
capital operation. As a matter OF
fact, as the diagnosis has progressed
it, has become more and more evf-
dent that no capital operation was
necessary; that at the most a
minor operation was necessary to
remove admitted distempers and
evils. The treatment is to be con-
stitutional rather than surgical, af-
fecting habits of life and action
which have been hurtfnl. For on all
hands it is admitted that there are
processes of business in this country
which ought to be corrected; but the
correction has been postponed, and
in proportion to the postponement
the fever has increased-the fever.
of apprehension.
There is nothing more fatal to.
business than to be kept guessing
from month to month and from year
to year whether something serious
is going to happen to it or not. IL
is impossible to forecast the pros
poets of any line of business unless
you know what the year is going to
bring forth. Nothing is more unfair.
nothing has been declared by busf-
ness men to be more harmful than
to keep them guessing.
The guessing went on, the air
was full of Interrogation points for
ten years and more. Then came an
administration which for the first
time had definite program of con-
structive correction of admitted evil.
And the administration proceeded to
carry out this program.
First, there was the tariff, and
business shivered. But when the tar
in had been passed it was found
that the readjustment was possible
without any serious disturbance
Whatever.
Then came the currency reform.
You remember with what criticism.
with what systematic holding back
a large body of bankers in this
country met the proposals of that re-
form, and you know how, immedf-
ately after its passage, they recog-
nizei its benefit and it's beneficence
and how ever since the passage OF
that reform bankers thruout the
United States have been congratulate

same hesitation, the same urgency

IT HAS LARGE ASSETS
Prospects Good for Reorganization
of the Clafiin Company


New York, June 27.-The follow
ing statement was given out at the
Office of the H. B. Claf1in Company:
.'The unprecedented shifting of
trade centers in New York has
caused great loss to many interests.
In the case of the H. B. Clafiin
Company the uptown movement of
business has seriously curtailed our
wholesale profits and compelled us
to rely mainly on the profits from
financing retail stores thruout the
country. Their rapidly expanding
business has occasioned large capital
requirements, which we have not
been able to meet. A receivership
has therefore become necessary,
pending a .readjustment of the affairs
of the company. A plan of reorgani-
zation for the H. B. Claflin Company
will soon be presented which we
hope will prove acceptable both to
creditors and to stockholders.
"The Associated Merchants COM
pany and the United Drygoods COM
panies are not themselves borrowers
of money. They are in exceedingly
strong financial position and the sue
cess of their retail stores is assured"

Receivers Martindale and Juillard
said the failure was of such tre-
mendous proportions that it would
be several weeks before it would be
possible TO know where they stand.
Though the failure is perhaps the
most important in the history of the
drygoods trade in this country, New
York bankers predict that the chief
and perhaps the only potent general
effect will be temporary demoriliza-
ton of the drygoods trade

with the drygoods business for more
than forty years. At the age OF

Washington, June 27.-Under a
new constitution of freedom" for
business, given by antitrust legisla-
ton soon to be passed by Congress,
President Wilson has promised the
in its history. This was the presi-
dents final answer to opponents OF
trust legislation at this session OF
Congress and to prophets of evil
times, delivered with determined ex-
preston and every word emphasized
with clinched fist.
I'VE know what We are doing

it under the advice of men who un-
derstand the business of the coun-
try; and we know that the effect is
going to be exactly what the effect
of the currency reform was a sense
of relief and security
The president spoke to a group of
Virginia editors at the White House,
but his assurances were intended for
the country. There was every indi-
cation that the speech was meant to
be one of the most important of the
administration.

reached the White House earlier in
the day, but the president did not
mention the incident

correspondence which comes in to us
from all parts of the nation, We are
perhaps in position to judge of the
actual condition of business better
than those can Judge who are at any

business revival are becoming more
