and Mouse River Stock and Ag il cultural
Association, was held at Deyils ] AXE on
July l., and 8, and proved a S: olendid
success, in respect to the first an d main
objects of the association.
The exhibition itself was only bought
of six weeks before the dates adv, ,rtised,
and too great praise cannot be 6, yarded
the president of the association, Capt.
Parker, of Cando the secretary H. c.
Hansbrough, editor of the Devils Lake
INTER.OcEAN, and the several acti We vice
presidents and directors, Messrs. Thurs.
by, Towner, Walker, Benham, Aloway
and others, whose untiring efforts were
devoted to makinga practical success of
what may properly be spoken OF as an
event of great Importance to all North
Dakota.
The holding of a fat stock show at the
entrance of a vast region where settle
ment has just fairly begun, and where
the Withholding of public land surveys
is putting every obstaclei in the way that
can be opposed to the yet resistless tide
of immigration is a remarkable thing,
and It's unqualified success as an exhibit
ton marks a red letter day for the Dew
lis Lake and surrounding country.
The handsome herds of fine cattle and
horses we're not all contributed by the
Red River valley stock farms, by any
means, the Mouse River ranges and other
portions of the country north and west
of Devils Lake furnishing a goodly num-
Der of different breeds, to all appear
ances as thrifty and we'll cared for a. any
in the great stock raising states.
Some recent importations from Scot
land were on their way to the Mouse
river country.
The thoroughbred exhibits embraced
a number of beautiful jet black Polled-
Angus cattle, besides many splendid
looking Herefords, Holsteins, Jerseys
and Shorthorns.
There were upward ola hundred head
also of fine graded cattle, looking the
very picture Of life, which in the Dakota
air is so healthy for man and beast.
The horse show was equally interest
ing. The were some magnificent Nor.
man-Percheron, Clyde and other Scotch
and English bred stations in the draft
horse exhibits, with some remarkable
colts in both the thoroughbred and
graded classes.
There was a notable display of draft,
farm and road horses of different grades
and some of the speed exhibitions were
quite creditable.
The mule show was q feature, for
which the ASSOCIATION was indebted to
the Missouri colony in Towner county,
who believe in the mule and who own
some fine, large. vigorous looking ami.
mails, which are as valuable OF the farm
in Dakota as in Missouri or Texas.
The oxen completed the line of exhib.
its in this most successful stock show,
which will long be remembered to the
credit of the section of the territory un'
der whose auspices it was held, and
which will be followed next year by 9
second exhibition of much greater pro
portions.
The introduction of stock raising in
the Devils Lake and Mouse River coun
try, at this early stage of its history,
speaks we'll for the settlers and farmers
Of this wonderful region, than whom
there is no more energetic, capable and
agreeable class of people found in the
northwest.
