Editorial Excursion.

The editorial excursion party, in charge
of D. R. McGinnis, arrived by special train
last Friday evening at about e p. m. and
made stay of As minutes. They were
| driven in carriages up to Danas hill, and
after returning and looking over the stock
| and grain which the farmers had brought
in to exhibit, the Rev. Ezra Turner made a
speech Of welcome Oh behalf of the citizen
Of Bottineau, in which he gave short
! sketch of the early settlement of Bottineau
county and contrasted it with the present
condition Of the county.
The Hon. Norman J. Colman, U. S. Com
missioner of Agriculture, was next intro
duced by the genial McGinnis, and in neat
little speech tonk occasion to compliment
the farmers ON their fine display of stock,
which he said was the best he had seen since
leaving St. Paul. He also spoke in glowing
terms Of the appearance of this country,
and emphatically declared that no part OF
the United States has brighter prospects
than the Northwest, and especially North
Dakota.
Mr.. Colman was followed by G. A. Mar
tin, of the American Agriculturist, New
York; G. d. Colman, Colman's Rural World,
St. Louis; G. W. Hill, The Farmer St. Paul;
and W. II. Lawrence, Ohio Farmer, Cleve.
land, who made short speeches compliment
ary to the country, stock, etc.
This excursion was arranged by C. H.
Warren, Gen. Pass. Agent St. P, NJ. & NJ.
Railway, and was in charge of D. R. Nc
Ginnis, private secretary to Mr.. Warren,
and we want to say right here that better
man could not have been selected for the
position. Too much credit cannot be given
Mr.. Warren for planning this excursion,
for if these gentlemen, who represent the
leading farm journals of the United States,
and who are all close observers. will only
giVe their impressions Of this country,
Through their different papers, an incalculable
amount of advertising will be given to Da-
ssota. Most of the gentlemen composing the
party had never been in the Northwest be-
fore and were surprised and delighted with
what they saw. . ~
The excursionists had been out ten days,
had been up to Winnipeg and out as far
vest as Helena, and were then on their re-
turn trip, having travelled nearly 1000
miles since leaving st. Paul. The following
are the names Of the excursionists and their
occupations and places of business:

Mouse River Ferry


Last Saturday morning Messrs. J. G..
Thompson, VIM. streeter, S. W. Pierson and
D. G. Thompson went to Mouse river to look
up location for ferry across that stream
There is quite settlement on the west side
of the river, and the people there would like
to come here to do their trading, but there
is no way to cross tho river. II the county
will supply ferry boat, it would be a good
scheme for somebody to take claim ON the
river, put up a "stopping place" and attend
to the ferry. This would induce many more
settlers to 60 in there, and would be a good
thing for the county as we'll as this town.
The party went by the way of R. 3. SCOTS
ranch, and they all agree in saying.that the
land west of here to the river is al good as
can be found in Dakota. They struck the
river about the south line Of township 1G2
then turned down river and camped the
first night about half way across the town
ship, range 70. Next day they found what
is known as the old half-breed crossing, on
the line between townships 1852 and 163.
They also found there the stakes marking
the claims which Sam Greiner and Jacob
Hearonemus had located a few days pre-
vious. The river is near the east side of the
bottom land, and the prairie slopes gently
to the waters edge. The river at this point
is about 800 feet wide and feet deep. On
the western shore is hay meadow some
three-quarters Of mile wide, and the high
prairie can be reached by a ravine, which
furnishes very easy grade for a road.
From this point to the boundary line is a
succession Of hay meadows, the river valley
being on IN average about mile wide.
