Capt. Hurd an old and experienced
railroad man was sent to investi-
gate the feasibility of a line con-

His report was favorable, and in
1898 it was decided to build the
extension, but the parent company,
the Canadian Pacific, because of

ern Pacific in the Manitoba re-
gions, made a territorial agreement
which stopped for the time being

flillions of Acres of Rich Farming
Land and Endless Ranges
For Cattle Growing.
Hundreds of Settlers Crowding in
to Locate Upon the Most

Marvellous Richness of Soil and
Prosperity that Attends
Efforts of Farmers.

Mclean county is one Of the most
remarkable tracts of territory in the
state of North Dakota. 1t contains
more than 1000 square miles, and is
a noble state in itself. 1t has ITO
miles of river frontage, and thousands
of acres of timber along the river, fur
nishing timber and fuel, where thous-
ands of acres of waving grass toss in
the breezes Of the cloudless summer
days and furnish rich grazing for cat
tie without number. From its banks,
jutting into the majestic Missouri
river, immense coal veins protrude,
speaking with eloquent tongues of the
versatility of the county's resources.
Back from the river, the land merges
into gently rolling prairie, and finally
into level farming land, rich in the
elements that make grain, and await
ing only the farmers hand to return
thousand fold the seed that is sown.
The extent of this county, where
thousands of farmers have achieved a

competence with no assistance but
their own efforts and the fertile will
ingness Of the soil to return many
times what is invested, is beyond COM
prehension. 1t is a region vast as
many principalities, and richer than
many eastern localities where land is
held at $50 to $1OO an acre. There
are countless acres Of good govern
ment land to be had for the settlement.
Thousands of acres of the best land
are held by land companies that offer
it at low price. With these oppor-
tunities for the farmer in the over
crowded and too thickly settled agri-
cultural regions of the eastern states,
why should any one pay rent for his
land and deprive his children of an
heritage of broad acres, Independent
income, and good health, which come
from a residence in this chosen region.
This is no land Of one industry.
There are opportunities untold for the
investment OF capital and the develop
ment of labor. The land along the
river is rich, we'll watered and the
raising Of small grains, corn, vege-
tables and similar products is carried
on with success and profit. Farther
back in the hills there is the best of
natural opportunities for raising
stock. There are ample stocks Of nat

the early 8O's-before the division
of the territory and the admission
of the two states. of North and
South Dakota-the extension of
the Milwaukee road and the North
western line to Bismarck was con-
templated and terminal facilities
for these roads were secured. The
division Of the territory caused a
change in the plans of these sys-
TENS resulting in indefinite delay
in building northwest into North
Dakota. In the meantime and
long prior to statehood, townsite
boomers and railroad promoters
agitated the building Of an air line
from Aberdeen to Bismarck, which
would make long link in some
system direct to Chicago and the
southeast. Surveys were made,
right-of-way secured and work be-
gun. The line was soon swallowed
up by the 500 then contemplating

There are ample shipping facilities

locality. The railroad completed to
Washburn is within an hours run Of
Bismarck At Washburn there are
elevators able to handle all of the grain
that may be brought in. Steamboats,
ply across from the west side of the
river and afford shipping facilities
from there. Coal mines are being
opened and developed in many parts
of the county. In addition to farm
ing, there is profitable work for men
who desire it during the winter.
Washburn, the county seat Of the
county, affords excellent trading facil-
tiles. Forty-fve miles away from
Washburn is Bismarck, the capital
city of the state, reached conveniently
by the Bismarck, Washburn & Great
Falls road. Fuel is cheap and album
dant. The providcnt farmer may
provide nearly his entire stock Of pro-
visions from his own land. Taxes are
low. School advantages compare
with those in any agricultural section
of the country. The winters, con-
trary to the beliefs held by some in
the east, are not severe; the average
rainfall is greater than on any other
portion of the Missouri slope. There
is a greater average of prosperity

reaping many fold from the results Of
small investment and little labor?

The rapidity with which settlement
of this country is being made is re-
markable. With the purchase of a
large quantity of land in the Big
Bend country-onc of the most fertile
tracts of land along the Missouri
river, lying in the bend of the stream,
hundreds of land seekers were brought
into the country to see the land for
themselves. They were quick to
realize the marvellous opportunity Of
fered to obtain good land at a low
price.
Homesteaders came too, and settled
upon government land. In the past
year there have been 500 homestead
filings in the Big Bend country. This
means an additional population of sew
eral thousand, and huge area of the
government domain wrested from its
wildness and converted to the plow.
the cultivator the harvester and the
seed of golden grain. A great many
of these persons who have filed on
homesteads have already settled on
them. The others will do so in the
spring, as their limit will then expire,
settlers having six months after filing
to locate upon their claims.
In addition to this number of set
tiers, hundreds have purchased land
from the Washburn Land company.
These purchasers are for the most
part practical farmers who understand
the development of the new country.
They have money, and will stock their
purchases with cattle, sheep, hogs,
and other adjuncts of live stock:
Many of them have erected comfort
able homes. Thousands of acres Of
the virgin soil were cultivated for the
first time this year and this fall re-
turned an ample harvest. Many of
the flax crops were valuable enough
almost to pay for the land. Where
else can such result be shown?
