growth and welfare of the place.
In the matter Of newspapers, the town ia
abundant!y supplied. There are three, and
all Of them would be highly creditable to a
place Of much lsrger growth. All
three are said to be doing we'll, and appear.
ances indicate suoh to be the fact. Captain
Arnold's Northern Tier is the last estab-
lished, but has already thrown off it's swad-
ding clothes and assumed equal rank with, if
it has not collapsed its older sisters in the race
for existence. To the genial Cap, and to
Sheriff Zarracher, your correspondent is in

PERSONAL. MENTION. h
Among the most successful Of the business
men of Crookston is ex-Sheriff Box, of Wa
bashaw. This gentleman came here less
than two years ago to retrieve his heavy
losses in WabashaW county, and to-day finds
himself the proprietor of the Crookston hotel,
which he runs himself, and proves, in every
respect, paying institution. It is one of
the leading hotels and much more fayorably
located to the depot than the others, and
hence is always crowded: Sheriff Box has
sufficiently proved that he can keep hotel
and of course offers q comfortable home to
every wayfarer. Besides keeping first class
hotel he has acquired real estate interests
which are already valuable, and will prove
more SO in the near future. h..
DR.. Louis Beaupre, of Red Lake colony,
is ono of the leading physicians here, and is
enjoying remunerative practice which he
fully deserves. NJ. Filiatrault, an old St.
Paulite, is also here and has struck it so rich
that he and his brother will, in the spring,
build large brick building-the finest and
best in town.
FISHERS LANDING, -. ~
Nearly half way from Crookston to Grand
Forks on the Grand Forks branch of the ST.,
P. & M. railroad ia the town of Fishers
Landing. Some three or four years ago,
owing to the increase of the Manitoba trade,
and the uncertainty of navigation of tho
Red river above it's junction with the Red
lake, the town was founded and track laid
from Crookston to this point. Freight was
then received and delivered to steamboats,
which piled hence to Winnipeg. This dur
ing the season made Fishers q business
point of considerable Importance. The
town was then on the banks
of the river, but last summer was removed
to the high land above aud Immediately on
the railroad track. The town now contains
several hundred people, and presents an
air of freshness and solidity which augers
well for it's future prosperity. Messrs. De
Mers and Thompson are the proprietors and
! owners of the town site, and are of that
stamp of business men who are sure
to build a thriving and prosperous village
Thomson & Slichtsr, the latter well-knoWn
in st. Paul, are the leading merchants, and
are doing large and increasing business
which develops as the country is settled
They have already one of the largest ani
most plentifully stocked establishments il
northern Minnesota, and bid fair to add a
no distant day to their already high reputa
ton as business men.
| Captain A. r. Russell is another of tn,
cleverest gentlemen in this section, and il
recognized as one of the most enterprisins
citizens of this growing town. There is NJ
newspaper here, but the residents are anx
ious for an organ and offer liberal induce
ments to secure one. Some competent an,
enterprising professor of the cart preserva
tive'' may do we'll to apply. B.
