The luncheon was held primarily to give opportunity for the discussion informally of various phases of de- velopment work. After several speeches had been made deploring the fact that many settlers were go- ing through the great Nort* west into Canada and advocating tht adoption of any measures which would hoid this tide of immigration and turn it into the-states from Minnesota to the coast, W. R: Mackenzie, secre- tary of the association, voiced a pro- test. Mr. Mackenzie stated it as his opin- ion that the trouble with the devel- opment work to date had been that the “mark shot at is too far distant.” He advocated using measures to de- Reynolds and Winter, a Bemidji|velop Minesota first and to let the firm: other states be developed by men in E. Vanderlaan purchased fortyithem. And of Minnesota, he urged acres in Frohn township. He has that particular attention be paid to Northern Minnesota.

Other speakers followed Mr. Mae- kenzie, all voicing his opinion, and before the meeting adjourned, it was decided that an informal committee of fifteen, composed of business men of means, should go to Crookston to attend the meeting of the Northern Minnesota Development association next week and that this committee should work with the association im the development of Minnesota first some logging this winter and willland of Northern Minnesota especial- ly. Joseph Chapman, Jr., was chosen to head the Minneapolis committee; J. W. Wheeler, to head the St. Pauk delegation; and W. A. McGonagle to head the Duluth delegation. Each chairman will pick his own men so that the fifteen will be a representa- tive group from the three large cit- ies of the state. “The trouble has been,” said one of the men who attended the meet- ing, “That we have been cramped for funds and have not known how to properly spend those we have avail- able. The big feature of the Crooks- ton meeting will be fewer addresses and more business. We are going to work out means of improving the conditions in Northern Minnesota and the job is a big one.” i Plans are being made for a big delegation of Bemidji business men who will go to Crookston and stay through both sessions. They will go both as delegates of the Beltrami County Development association and as delegates from the Bemidji Com- mercial club. At the last meeting of the association, not all of the del- egates stayed through both sessions but the men who will go to Crookston (Continued on last page). ‘Continued on last page).
