the resources Of Bottineau County, /
may say that FIVE years ago I located
in this county and have lived here ev.
or since. I think can tell your read.
ers Of land if not fairer than their
eastern home. it is at least aland that
will bring larger returns for the
amount invested. I have said but
little Of this country heretofore, pre-.
ferring to wait until I could speak in
ttelligently. al
II Having seen FIVE harvests I can
low speak from observation and ex.
a krience. I have never seen a failure
oferops in the region known as the
Turtle Mountain County. And judg-
ing from the past I never expect to
see failure.
The country is peculiar in many re.
spects, one Of which Is, that if there
are heavy rains the soil has wonder
full powers of absorption, and big
crops are the result. On the other
hand, for the past three seasons it has
been very dry and yet the moisture
seemingly comes up through the soil
and we feel very little effects Of the
drought, while the country three hun
dred miles south Of US is parched and
dried up, and crops almost failure.
Here the crops were never better, and
the grade Of wheat No. hard. This
is certainly the most productive coun-
try I was ever in and the land is very
cheap. All cereals are grown sue.
cessfully and all kinds of small fruits
and vegetables grow luxuriantly.
Bottineau, the principal town in our
county has had wonderful growth,
having ouly been permanently located
after the advent Of the st. P. M. &M.
Ry. which reached here in the begin.
ming Of June. Since then it has been
one continual struggle to get up build
ings 70 meet the large and growing
business Of the town. Whilst afford,

first instalment of romantic novel Of
adventure, oy Robert Louis Stevenson,
which promises to rival * idnapped"
IN popularity. General A. w. Greedy,
Augustine Birrell, and w. G. Brownell
are among the contributors, while
artists like A. B. Frost, William Hole.
and Rufus Zogoaum have furnished
elaborate illustrations. Those who
dan as a brave soldier will be surprised
to find in his article From Gravelotte
to Sedan" evidences of fine literary
skill IN his clear and picturesque de-
scIlptions of the stirring events of the
Franco-German war. Lester Wallack' s
Memories of the Last Fifty Years"
begun in October) add to the history
of the American stage what no other
man could have recorded. Charles
Xean, Ellen Tree. William E. Burton,
George Jordan, Miss Henrlques. VIM.
Reynolds, Mrs. Conway, Dion Bouci-
cault, and Charles Fisher are among
hose mentioned and illustrated in this
article. 81 he Every Day Life of Rail
road Men," by B. B. Adams. Jr., is the
first really adequate account of the
practical work of the men who accom-
plish the hard physical toll on rail-
ways. The fiction of the number in
