jamestown Capital: One of the
best demonstrations of what can be

made in jamestown this week when
Carl Doede, n of the old residents
OF the county, made a handsome pres

and otherwise provided for the remain.
der Of his family. Mr.. Doede came
here nearly a quarter of a century ago,
worked in~dustriously and persistently
and as he prospered added to his
original claims secured from the gov.
eminent until he was the owner of
about 1900 acres of as fine land as
ever laid out OF doors. He has raised
a large family and now, having pass
ed the meridian of life. has decided
to take things Orc easy.
To his eldest son, Charles, he made
a present of the southwest quarter Of
2-13S-63 and sold him a quarter section
but half a mile away for $13oO-merly
a nominal price and not representing
the value of the land. He did equally
well by his other SON Theodore, to
whom he gave a quarter section Of
land. the southwest quarter of 26-139-63
and sold him the northeast quarter of
the same section for 81. O0O-this price
also being largely a gift.
Mr.. DOede is still the owner of 800
acres of land. with good buildings and
well equipped and will try to get along
on that sized garden patch for the re-
mainder OF his life. His success in
Stutsman County is a fair specimen of
what others have done and what many
more can do for they a profit by the
experience of others and besides have
markets and many other conveniences
at hand which the early residents of
the county did not have in the first few
years of their settlement. Mr.. Doede

has now and these gifts, represent

in his old age he has the comfort OF
seeing them comfortably settled about
him and prospecting.
