EARLY A

FIRST SETTLEMENT OF MCINTOSH
COUNTY AND INITIAL MOVE
TOWARD THE $500"
In the current number of the Record,
Col. G. A.. Lounsberry gives some early
history of Mcintosh county, as follows:
Mcintosh county was organized in
October, 1884. There were but q peo-
Ldo in the county then. Among the
organizers were j. H. Wishek, George
W. Lilly, &C. Morrell and G. B. Basye.
Wishek was register CT deeds and
county clerk and the legal adviser of
the county. Horace S. Barr was treas
urer, Alex Mcdonald, sheriff. Alanson
Richards, county judge and the village
of Hoskins named in honor of the wife
of the editor of the Record, then editor
OF the Bismarck Tribune, was the
county seat. Among the parties in
terested were M. H. Jewell, of the Bis
marck Tribune H. J. Whitley and O.
F. Davis, now of Salt Lake. Utah. The
whole party came from Bismarck, ex-
cepting Basye', who had previously To-
Gated at Glendale.
The real estate finn of Wishek, Lilly
& Morrell was organized and COM
nanced doing business, and in 1886
the Mcintosh County State Bank was
organized by Wishek, Lilly & Co.. C.
C.. Hammond being the CO. of the
firm, becoming cashier.
There were boomers in those days.
By the aid of Bismarck parties and
friends in Washington, a line of post
offices was established from Bismarck
to Glendale and a daily mail obtained.
Through the efforts of Alexander EMc-
Kenzie, e. P. Wells and Alanson john
son, "Ordway Johnson" as he was
generally called, a line of railroad was
graded from Bismarck to Aberdeen,
and now after Is years the line has
been ironed and the $500" is now run
ming trains over it to Bismarck.
Thomas Lowry. who invested some
100000 in Bismarck during the boom
there. was Led to take an active inter
est in this line, and never let up until
he accomplished during the present
year, the construction of the $500 to
Bismarck. M. K. Coon and E. P.
Wells were also leading members of
the N. ". Construction Company,
which made this grade.
The company owned one-ha1f of the
townsite of Ashley and J. H. Wishek
the other half, and they succeeded in
changing the county seat to Ashley in
1887, and Hoskins, which had been a
town of considerable, importance, fell
into decay. Organization OF the
scheme for making this grade resulted
from a suggestion made by the editor
of The Record to Alex Mckenzie in
1884. The grade was commenced in
1886 and completed in 1887.
The 800" was extended to Ashley
in 1891, and later south to Pollock on
the Missouri river. Later it was OK
tended to Braddock and then to Bis
marck. nj

Aluminium for Paper.

It is. stated that experiments with
aluminium as a substitute for paper
are now under way in France. It is
now possible TO roll aluminium into
sheets foursthousandths of an inch in
thickness, in which form it weighs
less than paper. By the adoption of
suitable machinery these sheets a
be made even thinner, and can be
used for books and writing paper. Tie
metal will not oxidize, is practically
fire and water prof and is indestruc-
tible by worms. .s..
