CORRESPONDENCE.
From Turtle Luke.

TURTLE LAKE, March, 18th, 1894.
AS don't see a rush of correspondents
from our neighborhood, 1 will venture to
clog space with few suggestions and
items:
L. L. Britton, the Turtle Lake boomer,

chased from Treasurer Haugsberg, and
at one time owned by 6. w: West. 1t

Experience Counts High.

A correspondent of the Towner Inde-
pendent warns furriers and fur catchers
against shipping fur to Mosier & Co. of
indianapolis, Indiana. The Towner man
was bit on the grading. Shipping fur to
these dealers is risky piece of business,
and even some Of Mclean countY's furri-

The following very creditable compos-
ition was written by one of Miss Annie
Wells pupils of the Coal Harbor school:
North Dakota.
"North Dakota, with South Dakota,
Montana, and Washington, was admitted
into the Union as a state in 1889. 1t Is
part of the Louisiana purchase acquired
from France in 1903; and with with South
Dakota, was part of the Territory OF
Minnesota, until after the admission Of
that state. 1t acquires it's name from the
Dakota, or Sioux Indians, which inhabit-
ed the south central part of what is now
a state. Other tribes inhabited the west
err part of the Territory. We do not
know how soon, or whom these Indians
settled, for it was long before any settle
ments were made. In lSO4-5, the Mis-
souri, River was assembled by Lewis and
Clark, after that it was called the "Man-
dan Region from the band of Indians of
that name. The first white settlement
was made in Pembiha county in 1918. It
was near fifty years after when the next
settlement was made at Grand Forks.
In 1872, the Northern Pacific rail road
entered the Territory: and in 1873 it was
extended as far as the Missouri River at
Bismarck. No material extension was
made from this time until 1880. During
that period, large number of settlers
entered the State, taking up railroad land.
Some sf the largest farms began to be
cultivated at that time.

The River Dangerous.

People living along the Missouri river
bottom or having stock ranging there,
should be mindful of the fact that there
now great danger of high water, if not an
overflow of the bottom lands. The March
thaw is earlier than usual, and has con-
tinued without much interruption for
nearly two weeks. 1t is not the amount
of snow, particularly thGt cause a gorge
or flood, but the manner in which 1t goes
off. The rapidity with which the snow
disappears this spring, warrants the rails
ing of the danger signal.
