$4,000 COME TO STATE
immigration Commission Sherman
Shows 2,213 Cars of Family Goods
Entered Minnesota In 1918. =
EXHIBIT IN OTHER STATES

That the State immigration de-
partment is bringing considerable
number of new settlers to Minnesota
is indicated by a statement issued by
Commissioner Fred D. Sherman, COW
ering the work of his office for the
last year.
L Mr.. Sherman cited some signifi-
cant railroad statistics to prove that
immigration here is on the increase.
During 1912 the Minnesota Trans
fer handled 1,649 cars of migrant
movables from other states destined
to Minnesota points while during the
first eleven months Of 1913 the num-
Der handled was 2,213, a gain of 546
over the whole of 1912. While ma
jority of these cars represent only
one family, some include the goods
Of several families and the commits
sioner believes the total addition to
the population indicated by these
figures will reach $4,000.
There were also 1859 homestead
entries reported during the year by
the United States land offices and
real estate men report renewed ac-
tivity in sales and substantial in
crease in values, especially in Nor
thern Minnesota.
The department has conducted an
extensive advertising campaign
which has resulted in 10000 inquir-
les from other states as to conditions
here. To each of these personal let
tiers have been sent together with lit
erature concerning Minnesota op-
portunities. Exhibits of Minnesota
products were maintained at the In
diana and Illinois state fairs and at
the Chicago Land Show.

Went TO SEE GIRL
ARREST FOLLOWED.
Hal Wilkinson, Being Held Here For
Forgery, Taken At Home Of Sweet
heart, Former Bemidji Girl
PLEADS FOR HIS RELEASE
Drove To Station In Police Patrol
Wagon When Youth Was Being
Brought Here by Sheriff Johnson

Hal Wilkinson's love for his sweet
heart, Miss Vernon Noble, formerly
a resident of this city, is in a long
way the reason for his being in the
Beltrami county bastile today. Young
Wilkinson, 20 years old, is the boy
who it is claimed forged checks
amounting to more than 500 on Be-
midi merchants New Years eve. He
was arrested in Minneapolis several
days later by detectives of that city
upon information given them by
Sheriff Johnson, of this city.
Went To See Girl
Wilkinson was found at the home
Of Miss Noble. The girl went to the
police headquarters following his ar
rest and plead for his release, but
was not successful. The next morn
ing Sheriff Johnson went to the Jail.
He met miss Noble there: Miss Noble
pleaded with the sheriff. She said
she would get the money and make
good everything Wilkinson might
have done. She drove to the station
in the patrol wagon with the sheriff
and his prisoner, but she couldn't
prevail upon the sheriff to let the
man go. ~...
-.~ To Aid Sweetheart
Miss Noble said she intended to go
to Bemidji and try to get Wilkinson
free. The police said he might not
have been arrested only for his affec-
ton for the girl, asserting that he re-
turned to Minneapolis solely to see
her and that his presence became
known then. s,...
Wilkinson will be given his pre-
liminary hearing Saturday.

ATHLETICS TAKE
THIRD FROM Y .M.E.A.
Bemidji Basketball Tossers Prove Too
Strong For Superior Quint And
Take Last Of Series ~ to IA
WON TWO OF THREE CONTESTS
Visitors Have Difficulty in Locating
Basket While Local Players Scored
From Almost impossible Angles

In game Of basketball which
without doubt has never been equal
led on Bemidji floor the Athletic
club quint Saturday night won the
deciding game of series of three
contests from the fast Superior Y.
M. E. A. five. The final score was
81 to Il.
The Bemidji athletes showed a
complete reversal of form over their
playing of Friday night, when they
met 10 to II defeat. Every player
was determined to do his best and
never once were they in real danger
of defeat. To pick any star insofar
as the local players were concerned
would be next to impossible. Aside
from the sensational basket throw
ing of Bestul and Captain Brandon,
the five men played as unit and
their team work could not be stop
ped by the visitors.
Bradley Over Estimated
Bestul guarding Dick Bradley, the
Superior crack, completely outplayed
the Y. M. E. A. man. Not only did
he hold his much talked of opponent
scoreless, but was able to find the
basket for eight points. 1t was evil
dent during the entire contest that
Bradley is an over estimated player.
His basket shooting was far below
the average set by his mates and his
floor work, while good, was not
their equal. .... 80.
Peck Plays Well r.
Peck, playing guard for Bemidji,
was in the game every minute. He
was after the ball all the time and
seldom did he allow it to remain in
the danger zone for any length Of
time. Neuman again played Erick-
son to a standstill, and lived up to
his reputation as one of the most re-
ildDle men Ol Tie IS beluluJl quluC
While Howe at forward was unable
to secure basket his floor work
played no. small part in the victory
Cook for Superior again played a
strong game and the free throwing
Of Captain Johnson, as did that of
Brandon featured the game,
Many Fouls Called
Fouls were numerous during the
contest and Bemidji was able to gain
an advantage of three points over
Superior in this way. If not single
foul had been called during the game
Bemidji would have been the victor
