Lively and Flourishing Towns of Decorah
and LandOre.

When one has not visited Seven
Devils for period of three years,
and goes up there just at present, he
is sure to be astonished at the pro-
gress made. The country about the
Decorah on Indian creek was then a
wilderness through which he found
his way by winding trails climbing
about the mountain sides and over
the divides. But now he finds the
trails supplanted by fine class of
wagon roads which make the entire
Indian creek district accessible to
eight-horse freight teams.
Two flourishing towns have sprung
into existence on Indian creek where
fourteen months ago there was naught
but tangle of black pines, frs and
underbrush Landore is located on
patented ground owned by Mr.. L. 6.
Jones, owner of the Dewey group of
mines. About fifteen houses COM
prise the town of Landore, other
buildings are contemplated and there
is some investment being made In
real estate, indicating that it will
soon become an important mountain
city. Degitz &, Co. keep the main
hotel, with fine bar in connection,
and they have over forty regular
boarders besides good transient
business. They have papered the IN
terror of the house in handsome shape
and ordered new supply of furniture,
and this, in connection with the other
hotels in the district, guarantees the
visitor the very best of accommoda-
tions. The hotel is supplied with a
private system of water works. In
Landore there is also the Standard
office; Baird Bros. & Lynes, butchers
Fred Sutfern, saloon; A. j. Kane s
assay office; M. W. Strause, store
Chas Allen, livery stable; Allen is
also running saw mill of 5000 feet
per day capacity and is turning out
a fine quality of lumber. He will
shortly add planning mill and other
machinery in order to meet the de-
mand for building material. Mr..
Shaffer and another party are pre-
pairing to erect two-story lodging
house. Sam Carr, the cloudy com
plected but whole-souled barber, has
shaving shop in full blast and If

town is located at the dump OF th'
