MIR. Benjamin Hagaman, delegated from
Oswego, N Y, to the Commercial convention
which assembled in st. Paul last December, has
invested in $500 acres of broad prairie, near
Fargo, and is now in the city purchasing i'm
| plements and supplies for his farm. He will
hereafter, undoubtedly, be known as one of the
| big farmers of the Northwest. The extent of
| his operations may be judged from the fact
that his purchases include two carloads of
mules, representing an investment of about
$5,OOO. Mr.. Hagamau is man of wealth, and
| may establish his headquarters here. We ex-
tend cordial welcome to him, and regard his
| advent among us as valuable addition to our
growing Northwest. Messrs. Cumming and
Finn, his associates from Oswego in the conven-
| tion, were claimed at one time as future resi-
dents of the Saw Dust city, but they have not
| left Oswego yet, and probably will not.
