while eventually not drop of coarse blood is
to be allowed upon the farm.
| While this Is the only large
stock farm and has been
introduced by me here as one OF the principal
features of this place, thereiare and have been
many Others engaged In stock raising to a
! greater or less extent. During last fall, and
up to June LIST last, over five tons of cattle
hides were bought and shipped. The splendid
locations for stock farms all along the Goose
river In this vicinity, ard the grand chance to
! get good supply OF good bl0oded stock
| without importing 1t from Canada, New York
| or Kentucky, will no doubt stimulate the
| business of stock raising into very import
ant feature of the future commerce OF this
county.
HOW TO GET LAND.
And now come to the idea which is the
| most essential OF all-how to acquire land in
this favored region. In the first place gov
eminent land may be had within easy reach Of
railroad facilities, under the homestead
presumption or timber culture acts, or should
you wish to purchase decided land or parti-
ally improved farms at nearer proximity to
our thriving town Of Mayville, they can be OBJ
tanned at from five to ten or twelve dollars per
acre. Thus according to your means or in
clination can each of you who read this obtain
for yourselves some of these choice lands
which have only just begun to be appreciated
and which will of their own intrinsic value
alone warrant an increase in value In the next
ten years that will of itself pay splendid adj
vance upon the investment. As an instance
of what can be done by young man of energy
and determination I subjoin the following
sketch, which is vouched for by one of the
most reliable business men of MayvlIle, and
known to others also:
In the fall of 1878 the young man in Ques.
ton. in company with friend already located
in the Goose river valley, came to the vicinity
Of Mayville and located. When he arrived
he had just $40 in cash, aud with SIS Of it he
slOcated q quarter of q section of land. He
then went to work by the month, and the
coming season hired little land broken. The
next season he broke up nearly all OF the
place, and last year had very large crop. He
can to-day take $4,000 cash for his homestead,
and he has personal property to the amount
of some 81 900, and owes no man dollar.
Another instance Of a somewhat similar
nature was cited, where man drove two yoke
of oxen into the same section four years ago,
which was all he had, and who now owns two
fine farms, and has we'll stocked store in
town, all as in the first instance, earned by
legitimate labor and the production OF the
soil.
SUPPORT FOR THE TOWN.
Agriculture of one form or another must
evidently be the main stay of this thriving
town Of Mayville, now spread out before me,
and indeed from what can see for myself and
what reliable people tell me, am led to think
a central point like this does not need any
thing but agriculture to support within it's
limits future population of 10000 people,
sben the adjacent country is SO rich and
prolific as it is here. That the Goose river
may be made with but little outlay to furnish
power sufficient 10 aid manufacturing inter.
ests to considerable extent am well assured,
hut the immense amount OF farm products
that must for all time to come ind market
here will always make this good town. And
now something about what Mayville-was
aud is-has done, is doing and will do.
MAYvILLE WAS
nothing one year ago. "Mayville is 9
thriving Town Of some 1000 people, where
all, or yearly sil, branches Of business are
represented. Thsre are at the present 4 large
we'll stocked general stores, 3 hardware, 2
drug, 2 grocery, furniture, l clothing store,
Q restaurants, 2 harness shops, 2 barber shops,
6 saloons, 2 very large lumber yards, S ma.
chinery halls, . livery, sale or feed stables,
5 blacksmith shops, 1 elevator with a capa.
city of 900 bushels, hotels, one OF them
costing $500, 8 law, land and loan agencies,
physician, /, bank and newspaper. OF
these latter two institutions the "Goose
institution under tns name Of
n. K Hubbard & Co, with excel.
lent references and correspondents, aud ''The
Mayvllle Eagle" edited and published by A.
W. Mccormick, and live and energetic
weekly paper; may be styled public institu-
tions aud are certainly credit to the town
and themselves.
Msyvile "has done' from the first day OF
its existence good business. From the day
the railroad arrived there, last October, until
May inst, the receipts of the station have
been over ninety thousand dollars. She has
built up from bare prairie to town Of one
thousand people, and she has made herself a
name and fame to be envied by her less for
tunately situated sister Dakota towns.
MAYvILLE ''Is DOING
She is booming. Her merchants
and her business men are all doing
well and are looking happy, and 1t is none the
less strange than true that nearly every
arLlCl6, aluOSt, OucISu lOT SdlS eau Oc puT.
chased as cheap as in st. Paul, except such as
heavy freights affect. Mayville twill do"
more business the coming season than any
town of her age in the territory.
She will huild twenty-five hundred dollar
$4,000, two story, school house and two
churches the coming season. A Kennedy dry
press brick machine will soon be running,
which, frem the quality of clay found, gaur-
antees the assertion that first class brick will
soon be plenty and cheap. She will do well
by a good shoemaker or two, furnish good
point for tailor shop, a wagon
shop and Photographic gallery. She
will give thirty.six hundred dol.
lars ($3,600) cash, and all neces-
sary building spot to any re-
liable business men who will come and build
good Touring mill at the town. And
lastely she will show ten thousand 100000
laborers, mechanics, farmers and business
men where they can fiud homes and COM
potency within her borders and upon the un-
rivaled farming lands in her vicinity. Trains
leave Fargo every morning for Mayville direct
without change Of cars and Thousands are
making the trip. One year from today the
grand opportunities for acquiring q home
here at moderate price will be much less then
now. An addition to the original town site
containing some very choice locations is now
being offered by Messrs. Crockett and Shot
well, of Fargo. shall buy lot before go.
