The keenest interest has developed in Montana, the Dakotas and partic- nlarly in Washington and Oregon over the meting to be held at Helena on May 4 and 5 for the purpose of forming a Northwest Development League. Minnesota interest in the event, which promises more for this state than any for any other to be represented at the meeting, is only being aroused. It is important that it should be quickened and kindled into an activity which will insure for the state a liberal representation | in one of the most important meet- ings that has been called for the con~! apportionment. dishonest dealings was foun a man to paint, but women are born has been one of the main forces for|artists, ] the development of Northern Minne- sota.—Warroad Plaindealer.

I would be better for Minnesota if she had twice as many farmers on the same land and as many more on as much other land. There are too many idle acres in Minnesota and the acres that are cultivated could and ought to yield twice as much. The average price | per acre of her improved lands has| advanced from $26 to $46 dur‘mg! the past ten years.

The first land show, if present plans are car- ried out, will be held in St. Paul this year and in Minneapolis next year. The particular interest of Minne- sota and the Twin City in the pro- posed movement is the effect it will have in making the Twin City the actual, as it is natural, gateway to the great northwest. Chicago, Oma- ha and other cities are fighting for the territory that naturally belongs to the St. Paul gateway and, unfor- tunately for us, are accomplishing much. Statistics show that more than 60 per cent of the settlers in Washington, Oregon and their destinations Montana have reached through Omaha and Chicago, leaving Minnesota entirely out of the calcu- This result has had its ef- fect in turning trade through oth.r gateways than that of the Twin City and in leading homeseekers around Minnesota. lations. Much of this might be changed by concerted action among the states of the northwest, su ie planned as the purpose of the Helena meeting. It is proposed to run one or more special trains from the Twin City to the FHelena meeting, stopping at towns en route in order to pick up L Qs delegates from the various sections and to give Twin City business men an oportunity to call upon their cus- tomers. Full details of the proposed excursion will be announced in a few days and it is more than important that Minnesota and the Twin City should be strongly represented at the meeting which promises much for the future development of the north- west empire.—St. Paul Pioneer Press. —_— POOOOOPPOOOO0OOO® © WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY ¢ 0000000000006 600 Are the Limit.
