DEVELOPMENT Of NORTH MINNESOTA Continued from page 1. track through the northern woods, and carrying the greatest iron ore, lumber, wheat-and flour tonnage in the world. Mines, mills, lumber camps are there in busy operation by the hundred, and already hundreds of the best local schools in the world, 270 butter creameries and 300 state and national banks, But when we compare these developments with the vast virgin resources uptouched, we may Still in comparative terms speak of Northern Minnesota as a vas un- developed mine of wealth awaiting the energy and enterprise, the skill and far-sight of the present and fu- ture population of our great common- wealth. Northern Minnesota has Jess than one-fourth the population den- sity of Southern Minnesota, or of Iowa, Michigan and Missouri, less than one-tenth the population density of New York or Pennsylvania, and less than one-twentieth the popula- tion density of Massachusetts or New Jersey. On less than one-third the area of Northern Minnesota, and amidst natural resources not a tithe of ours, Switzerland supports over five times the present population of Northern Minnesota; and Bavaria on one-half the area, maintains ten times the population under natural industrial conditions which bear no comparison to the vast mine of di- versified wealth with which our Northern domain is stored, Ticket No. 10. The holder of ticket No. 10 is the Grand Rapids yesterday and taken to | winner of the beautiful lamp that is t. Benedict’s hospital n suffering} to be giyen away by J P, O'Donnell.
