THE first load of lumber ever brought
to Griggs county was ''steered" in by
our present popular machinery dealer,
Joseph Buchheit, in October, 1880, and
was for Cooper Bros.

Dakota, locate in Griggs county, and in

PERHAPS one of the most marvellous
features of this country to the person
who comes here for the first time will
prove to be the astonishing rapidity of
settlement and development. Only two
crops have been raised in Griggs county.
1900 to 5000 souls, while neat edifices of
learning and comfortable farm buildings

numbers and all sides.

town at Griggs county's centre, and
that demand will urge the place on to

daily avocations without Thought of the

truly Dakotan as she is metropolitan in
her business aspirations. Though less
