as exciting rs the caucus was.
Your correspondent had the pleasure
of seeing the R,nb,na Mountains in all
their glory the coolest day last week.
The farmers in the neighborhoods of
Cayt'ecr, Halbon, YonnR Alma and
Romfo arc getting along nicely with their
threshing. Many Of them are already
getting the bulk Of their grain marketed,
and are generally well satisfied with the
prices they receive under the circum.
stances. We find some OF them disposed
TO trade their oxen for horses when they
come to hauling grain to market. We
found tlsat most Of the farmers ON the
mountains have good sized pile Of
wood within convenient distance Of
their houses. aud feel quite safe for the
approaching winter. We also find that
they feel more than ever inclined To do
more breaking next season than they
have done heretofore. The cold weather
does not stop the tide of immigration.
On on: way homeward We met several
teams loaded with grain and furniture
and lumber and all other necdful things
to persons going in search of land. BY
the way, if there be any who have not
viewed the scenery Of North Dakota, let
him stand ON the brow of the Pembiua
Mountains aud view the landscape DER.
The scene presented there bexgars de.
scription. and calls forth the lanyusec Of
the immortal Scott when he wrote
I" Breati,es there = man with soul %
dead" etc. Distance alone sets limit
TO the panorama. Before and hlow lies
the great, broad valley Of the Rel River
Of the North, tecminH with life. Strips
of timber follow the winding streams.
BY the mid of o glars the growing towns
of 1T. Thomas. Hamilton, isathgate,
Seche, and even distant P.nbina ON a
clear day, may be seen. Farm houses
dot the prairie neslv overy half mile, and
viewed from u distance, seem almost az
close together US the buildings in rome
of tho eastern villages, while among the
Villages of grain stacks busy crowds arc
seen harrying to aud fro, and at times,
comes up-tllough faint through the
dintance-tl,e sl,rill sound Of the whistle
Of the tlresAing eijine. While We xaxed
AMI wondered at the sight before us, VIC
could mt help feeling that grand i'm.
pulse of human nature, which stirs the
soul of man when his Thoughts are such
that they might he coucllcd in substan-
tally the following language, ooh, wad
some power the Riftie vie us" to make
other people think just as we do.
CRYSTAL.
Many farmers have stopped drawing
grain OH account Of the rush st the 81.
Thomas elevator.
Steam tl,reshers have suspended work
OH account Of the cold weather. There
have been twelve steamers at work in
the neignborhood Of Crystal and yet
there is large quantity of grain in stack.
Messrs. A. F. Appleton and H. Stong
Of this place intend taking trip to Can
ada and the Southern States. They
expect to leave about December 18th.
They are both prominent examples of
success in pioneer life-are both in good
shape to enjoy holiday trip and deserve
to have the hest kind of time. We
wish then, safe and pleasant trip.
A petition is being circulated and
signed by nearly all the residents re.
questing the county commissioners not
to grant license to q saloon in Crystal.
The evil effects II the saloon We have
had for about . year and q halfha been
felt to be disgrace to our community.
I'M small place roughs have an idea
they have full control Of the community
and act accordingly. Many Of the neigh
