The following letter from our
friend John Shippam appeared
in a recent issue OF the Richland
County Gazette:
BowBEnLs, N. D., April 13.-Friend Harry:
I have opened up here, have nice office
with living rooms adjoining and am doing
very nicely indeed, at least quite satisfac-
torily to me. A prettiar prairie never saw.
After leaving Kenmare. some twelve miles
east of here, the eye strikes glorious prairie
which stretches way up into Canada. Say,
Harry, it would surprise Wahpeton people
to see carload after carload of horses, fur
niture, lumber. farm machinery, stock, etc.,
coming into this point every day. This Ger
tainly predicts bright future for Bowbells
on the $780," the future county seat of
management of the Sault Ste. Marie are
doing their part, grandly, to starr young ing
lands in the state of North Dakota which
are here for taking as homesteads, No
spectators are here to stop the progress of
the surrounding country. Remember what
! say this part of the state will be heard
from in the very near future with crops
which will open the eyes of the western
people living some distance from this point.
