by his own untiring zeal and magnifi-
cent business qualifications he has won
his way step by step. The pluck,
energy and determination that has al
WAYS characterized him will naturally
be carried into the larger field. With
such a course and such a purpose In
view good results must naturally fol-
low. DR.. Hemstead, the third member
of the firm, has been resident Of
Brainerd about twenty years, and like
the other gentlemen, is popular and
man of excellent worth and good bust
ness ideas. DR.. Hemstead came to
Brainerd from Omaha and was assist
ant surgeon of the Northern Pacific
sanitarium for number Of years. He
has served in the state legislature for
three terms and has been mayor Of
Brainerd three terms. Crow Wing
county is largely Republican, but in
the face of this fact, DR.. Hemstead,
Democrat, has met with universal sue
cess, politically as we'll as otherwise,
thus indicating the respect and conf
dence the people repose in him. He.
too, has all the elements that go to-
wards making good business career
and it is evident the firm will not be
lacking in any way in the conduct Of
the enterprise now set on foot.
There will be three floors in the
building and it is intended to make it
the most commodious' and complete
structure of this nature in the North
west. 1t is more than probable that
the firm will be doing business by Aug.
Is, and it is possible that Aug. 1 may
find them dealing with the people of
this Northwestern territory, for it is
this field, in a particular manner, they
will cover. The expense of handling
will be much less than ordinarily.
With spur track near the building
there need be no drayage, but cars can
be loaded direct from the first floor of
the building. In this way the cost Of
operating will be largely reduced and
the movement of goods will be more
easily and handily accomplished. All
in all this new enterprise will prove a
valuable addition to the city of Brain
erd, and it's projectors are deserving of
most hearty support.
d. M. Clark is now sole proprietor of
the large hardware, furniture and car
pet store heretofore owned by Messrs.
Clark 4 Ingraham. The latter gentle
man, who is in New York, has lately
disposed of his holdings to Mr.. Clark.
Dan is one Of that class of men who
richly deserves success and Brainerd
has no more faithful or sturdy repre-
sentative of it's interests than he
James q. Campbell, of Mandan, has
our sincere thanks for kindly favors
shown. So has James Dooley of the
same place. Both are well known in
Minneapolis. To d. O'Nlalley, of Val
ley City, N. d., and to others we also
feel grateful for assistance.
The ranchmen Of Montana are jubi-
liant over the present conditions. The
famous Gallatin and the numerous 9th
er valleys of the state that have be-
come noted, never looked better. AL
falfa is at it's best and all kinds of hay
will be in abundance The acreage of
wheat and other cereals is perhaps
larger than in former years and evil
dencc now points to a rich harvest. In
large part people bound for these west
ern states have the cities in mind in
which to settle. 1t would be better if
the majority were to pay more atten-
ton to the rural districts, from finan-
cial as well as from every other point
of view. There are plenty of oppor-
tunities and the cities may easily be
overdone if the country adjacent is to
be only sparsely settled. 10 crowd the
cities while the country outside offers
~ IhduS advantages 10 unOSe Oh llmltpu
means will not IKE conducive to the
best interests of either. Westward no!
Is all right, but Just where is something
to consider.
Logan, where passengers change for
Butte, is quite a railroad town and,
though small, considerable business is
done here. Thomas Judge is in charge
of hotel: the firm Of Gilhooly & Far
rell is widely known; John Johnson,
Robert Cunningham, o. L. Thomas, B.
t. 'McClary, James Gilleland and M.
Mcdonnell, as well as others, are also
loyal to this Montana town. Mr.. Gille-
land has ranch Of about 1000 acres
16 miles south of Logan, while Mr.. Nc
Donnell, who lives some five miles
south Of the town, has ranch of some
100 acres. Both these gentlemen re-
side in the picturesque Madison valley.
are largely interested in stock-raising
and have been very successful.
