Settler Between Jamestown
and Bismarck.

Is. 5. russell on jamestown contrib
utes some interesting "reminiscences
OF early days to the jamestown Cap
ital, and, writing of a trip through the
territory in 1872, says:
I'm October, 1872, I first saw Dakota
Territory-I had come from Duluth,
Mimi, on a special train over the
Northern, Pacific railroad at the re-
quest of Chas. W. Mead, general man
ager, in company with Messrs. Sears
OF Cincinnati, Kennedy of Lafayette,
Ind, and Kaufman Of Washington
city, appointed by the president to ex-
anime the construction of the road
from the head of Lake Superior to the
Red river. This examination was
uade as incidental to the issuance, of
the order of the president for the
transfer to the company of the land
grant to twents miles on each side. of
the road in accordance with the charter
granted by congress. I slept that
night at Fargo and spent some time in
the tent of Col. Cav, the engineer in
charge of the construction of the road
from the Red river to the Missouri.
There was nothing at Fargo but claim
shanties. I counted seventeen from
the house in which. I slept, which was
the first hotel then building by the
road and known afterwards as Head
quarters Hotel" A long row of log
houses and stables extended from
Broadway on Front street west, where
the contractors housed and fed their
men and horses. It was not known
that there was any land under cultiva-
ton west of the Red river. If there
was any, no one connected with the
road knew of it: The following year,
1873, in July, 7 went from Duluth to
Bismarck in a special train as the es-
cort OF Hon. Columbus Delano, secre-s
tary of the interior. in the cabinet of
President Grant. There was a good
" company on the train. Mrs. Della
no, with her husband, their son and
his wife and child, and some other
ladies and gentlemen were. Of the party
and notably SC Hon. W. g. LeDuc, sec
rotary Of agriculture in the cabinet Of
President Hayes. Ny wife also was
of the party. E.54S - *#
We remained all night at Fargo;
the growth from October previous had
been small. few buildings OF ,rame
had been put up, and evidence was be-
ing given OF a rapid growth in the near
future. After crossing the Shpeyenns
river six, miles west OF Fargo, we saw
no habitations except claim shanties,
and they were few and far between I'M
I'll we reached the second crossing Of
the Sheyenne, now Valley City, and
here were q few small dwellings,.
jamestown was reached at noon
and here we were told our train would
wait until the regular train east would
arrive, id this was the meeting point,
There were no station houses passed
between Fargo and jamestown; there
were ssidings AT intervals Of ten miles.
Jamestown was the ninth siding,
~sptriuWood the eighth and the tenth
was three miles west OF EIdridge.
During the stoppage at jamestown Mr..
EDelaanlo and myself looked around, the
estimated number then living here was

The status of the Northern Pacific is
still in doubt. BY some it is stated
that Morgan has a majority Of the COM
mon stock but that the opposition has
a majority of the common and pre-
ferred stock taken together. The gen.
eral opinion seems to be, however,
that President Hill of the Great North
r has received a setback and will
have to make peace with the opposing
interests.
