Thus ends the mystery of a crime that at the
outset seemed impenetrable. Notwithstand-
ing the feeling of the Cumberland people
pointed towards James n Lowe as the MUIR
derer, and the officers and reporters felt that
no other theory could be accepted, still there
was no satisfactory evidence that he was the
guilty party. To Marshal Bridges, Deputy
Sheriff Wormell and Deputy Sheriff Brown
the credit is due for working up the case so
successfully They have labored faithfully
and well, and with only slight reward to ex-
pect as the town of Cumberland offered but
$500.
Lowe appears calm and satisfied. He is q
years old, medium height, and looks some
thing like an Italian with his crisp, curly

quality. Vegetables of all kinds make
wonderful growth. The finest display
at the Minnesota state fair was from
jamestown on the n. P. r., r. 80 miles
west of Fargo; they were monstrous
productions
Corn does fairly but it is apparent that
this section, the home OF the wheat plant,
however great its capabilities, cannot to
any extent be c1h country-two crops
requiring conditions so opposite for their
perfect production.
The herd law obviates the necessity
for fences, the pasturage is rich and
abundant and an excellent quality of hay
unlimited in quantity is taken from the
prairies and put in stacks at cost of less
than $500 per ton. Wood is found
along the streams and will be sufficient
for years to come. Great encouragement
is given settlers in this direction by the
government, under the timber culture
act, and all lands so offered are eagerly
taken. Water in abundance is found at
10 to 30 feet deep, variable in quality ac-
cordiDg to location. The climate is de,
lightful, bracing and invigorating.
"Storey" of the Times, said it was Sin
toxicating" and imbibed it for week.
Great length of daylight is noticeable in
the summer season, and correspondingly
short days during the winter. The sum-
mers are all that can be desired, the win
ter weather clear, dry and steadily cold,
with 2O0 in their favor over changeable
moisture laden, southern attitudes. When
perfectly clear a great expanse of prairie
can be taken in. A pleasing variation
not unusual and very deceptive is mir
age of lake or sheet of water appearing
in the distance with its opposite bank
tree lined. We had several such views.
Our observations and impressions
above given pertain more particularly to
the Red River Valley properly, taking in
every point so miles west, where civiliza-
ton has disturbed the quietness of this
almost unknown region, and so miles
north, in the valley on either side Of the
Red River, but will apply to all that part
of Dakota and Minnesota west and east
OF the valley. JOHN LANDRETH.
