One day and night last week, we had
the pleasure of the company of Mr.
Byran Culver, Il native of New York,
who went to Iowa in an early day, and
experienced all the difficulties of pionee,
life there, and all the ups and downs o;
an active business life. For sever.l
years he has been one of the heavy
farmers at Grand Forks. This gentle
man has had wide experience in
farming and handling grain, and the
success that he has made of it, lea;ls III
to value his opinions very highly. He
prefers North Dakota, to any other part
of the Territory, because there is better
land here, because we do not have any
of the hot and blghting winds that
veet over the country, farther south,
because we are out of the regions OF
grass-hoppers, because we have better
water and more timber, because our rail
roads are not blocked in winter, and
because he considered the land good for
continual cropping for at least thirty
years. In his opinion, Pembina county
is the prodigy of Dakota.
There is good deal of live stock in
town now. Mr.. McFadden has load OF
horses in; Mr.. Grandy also has car
load here. The Palmer brothers have a
car load of cattle and Mr.. Nlelheim has
