WHEN TO COME, WHAT TO BRING—WHO SHOULD COME. RAILROAD FARES FROM DIFFERENT POINTS—HALF FARES FROM ST. PAUL TO OUR COLONIES.

WHERE TO CALL IN ST. PAUL.

Decidedly the best time for the emigrant to come to Minnesota is the spring. If possible, he should not arrive later than the first week in May. He should have his land selected in time to commence to break for garden stuff and corn about the 20th of May, then he can continue to break, for his next year's wheat crop, up to the early part of July.

The month of June is the month for breaking, for then the grass is young and succulent, and will rot readily. A man coming in the early part of June can have land broken for his next year's crop, but he loses the advantages of garden stuff and sod corn to help him out in his living until his first crop comes in.

WHAT TO BRING.

All your bedding that is of value. All your bedclothes. All wearing apparel, good clothing of every description: nothing more. Do not think of bringing stoves, nor any kind of house furniture. You can get all such at the stores in the colonies, or here in St. Paul, new, for nearly what the freight on your old furniture, worthless and broken, perhaps, by the time it arrived here, would come to. The better way is to sell what you have in this line, before leaving, and buy here.

WHO SHOULD COME.

We intend that our closing remarks shall treat fully and clearly on this very important portion of our subject. They will be found under the head of

A CHAPTER FOR ALL TO READ.

Here we will but say what we have already written.

WE INVITE FARMERS ONLY

to our colonies.

No doubt the country builds up the town, and we look for quite a building up of our young Catholic towns next summer; but, in the way of business, stores and mechanics' shops, the home supply is generally fully up to the demand, and at present we would not feel justified in inviting any one to our Catholic colonies but a man

WHO WANTS A FARM,

And who is able and willing to work one.

RAILROAD FARES FROM DIFFERENT POINTS.

N. B.—The above are the fares from the points mentioned to St. Paul. Doubtless persons coming in a large party from the same place would get special low rates. From St. Paul to any of our colonies, immigrants are carried for half fare; about $3 for an adult. They also get low rates for baggage &c., &c.

WHERE TO GO ON ARRIVING IN ST. PAUL.

Immigrants, on arriving in St. Paul, will immediately report themselves at the Catholic Colonization Office, situated in the basement of the Cathedral school building, corner of Sixth and Wabashaw streets. There they will be received by an agent of the Bureau, who will give them all necessary information and instructions, also half-fare tickets to railroad points in the Catholic colonies, and procure for them half-freight charges on goods and extra baggage. Office hours from 8 o'clock a. m. to 6 o'clock p. m.

All communications should be addressed to

The Catholic Colonization Bureau,
St. Paul, Minn.
