buyer for the Minneapolis and North
ern Elevator Co., at the steamboat
landing in Big Woods, sometimes
called knutson's landing, and also
the proprietor Of n general store
which is doing an increasing bust
ness. In fuct, he may be said to bc
the proprietor OF u town SITE. and
the founder OF a future city, for he
has already gathered about him
quite Il village. Besides the elevator
and store, the place contains a saw
mill, a feed mill, and a ferry. across
the river. An effort is being made to
have post Office established there
to be known by the name La Crosse.
The only thing needed after that to
make u fully equipped town would
be Il newspaper. Mr.. Knutson says
he has taken in $4,000 bushels oi
wheat at the elevator this fall. A
number Of other elevators are oper.
ated ,slong the river. The steamer
in the summer and fall makes trips
north from Grand Forks as far as to

no farther down the river than to
Mr.. Knutson's place. Mr.. X. O.

ty only a few years ago, and he il

son himself is an energetic and enter
prising man, who tends strictly to
his own business, making a valuable
citizen i'll the community.
