ments of freight for that point within
the preceding twenty-four hours. There
are many causes for this phenomenal
activity. The past season has been
one of fruitful 1arvests all over the
western portion of the state, and the
three elevators and large Touring mill
at this point have been crowded to
their utmost to bake care of the grain
crop. Then there has been a rapid
settlement of the vacant lands of that
vicinity, which has created a demand
for lumber, building and other supplies.
And by far the least important in con-
tributing to this unusual prosperity is
the creamery interests. this, being the
headquarters for a number of cream
cries that pay out from $4,000 to $1,000
each monthly for milk. In the aggre-
gate this makes a snug sum for a town
of 400 or 500 inhabitants.
The Northern Land Company, of
which Mr.. George Heaton of Perry, Ia,
is president, and who have headquar-t
ters in this city in charge of w. H.
Butterield, have a branch Office here
and have fitted up a neat office building,
and their Interests are being looked
after by J.. w. Carver. They also have
a comfortable hotel building located in
the midst of their large tract of land on
the Heart river, twenty-five miles south
of New Salem.
Increased banking facilities have
been afforded by the establishment of
the First National bank by A. D. Clark
& Co. and w. H. Mann, the latter be-
ing one of the leading merchants of
the town.
Glen Ullin is another Morton county
town that is entering into the spirit of
improvement that pervades the whole
northwest. A number of new business
houses and residences have been built
during the past season and others i'm
proved with additions and modern con-
~veniences.
Glen Ullin is the trading center for
a large territory north and south, and
besides contributing literally to the
live stock interests of the west Mis-
souri country is this year adding many
large loaves to the northwest's plethor-
ic bread basket large Touring mill
and two elevators being required to
work overtime to take care of the
grain output of that locality.
Here is the home of Hon. P. B. Wick
ham, who has represented Morton
county in the legislature, and oil in
spector, but who is now finding more
solace and far greater profit in a fine
flock of pure bred sheep that he main
tains on a ranch just outside the town.
Bismarck readers of the Tribune
will be interested to know that DR.. F.
B. Strauss has a meat drug store and
suite of offices and appears to be pros

Hebron is in the extreme western
part of Morton county, and like the
other towns, is riding OF the prosperity
train. 1t lis the home of Hon. Fred
Leutz, and to him Ind Messrs HollsS,
Krauth and WeigeA brothers is due
much of the prosperity of the town.
Two creameries here have distributed
among the farmers of the surrounding
country about 100000 during the past
season. This with THE active grain
market that exists this season is keep
ing plenty of cash in circulation, and is
responsible in no slight degree for the
$62, 900 deposits that have accumulated
in the Hebron State Bank that has been
established less than eighteen months.
M. w. Leahy has a Touring mill there
that he and his son have kept busy
eighteen hours every day all the season
grinding grists. They have count
lated a large elevator full of wheat that
they will convert into flour as soon as
the necessities of their farmer friends
have been supplied, and will put the
product on the market. The fact Of
so extensive a grist trade not only in
dicates that the farmers have produced
the grain, but that they are satisfied
with the treatment received at the
hands of Messrs. Leahy and son.
