In the same time the number ‘of Germans who came to the United States was 2,380,792. For the same period the number of German emi- grants to all South American coun- tries, except Brazil, was 31,814. In 1904 the numiber of German emigrants to Brazil was 255 and in no year be- tween 1898 and 1904 did the number of Germans entering Brazil exceed 821.

McLachlan and a party of four had a most thril- ling experience on Lake Bemidji yesterday afternoon.

More than that, they were compelled to spend the night around a camp fire on the lake shore and were only rescued this morning through the efforts of Mrs. McLachlan and C. W. Warfield. Mrs. McLachlan spent a sleep- less night and at 6 o’clock tele- phoned . to Mr. Warfield about her husband’s mishap. He vol- unteered to go to the rescue, and taking twolaunches, brought the party safely home.

There were on board several other men, including Jacoband Edward Kaelble of this city and J. A. Henny of Indianapolis, Ind., and they turned their predicament into great sport.

Munroe of Grand Forks had pitched a tent, and the party was taken in by him and sup- plied with provisions.
