ones eggs all in one basket, and have come to
this section for the reason that they could here
conduct their farming practically the same as
they were accustomed to in their old homes,
but with much less capital invested and at less
expense. He whom kind providence has
guided to a locality by nature adapted to the
production OF that which will support cream
cries. cheese factories, flour mills, woolen mills,
canning establishments, starch factories, flax
mills and every kindred industry which utlizes
that which is produced by diversified farming,
has many supports upon which to depend; and
never is at a loss for profitable market for
what he produces.
Picture to yourself rectangular strip of
slightly undulating county 24x26 miles, travers-
ed in difference directions by the Sheyenne and
Maple rivers and numerous creeks, the surface
becoming more broken as you approach the
different water courses, all of which are skirted
with timber; with one road crossing it from east
to west and another from north to south, and
you will have before you good representation
of Ransom County, North Dakota.
We are justly proud Of our water courses
and the timber all along their banks, for, with
the Maple river in the northeast and Beaver

Ransom County.

Now Just few words in reference to the
location and Typography of Ransom county.
Our state is divided, naturally, into three parts:
The first almost perfectly level prairies of the
Red River Valley cuontry in the eastern part of
the state, devoted entirely to the raising of
wheat; and here is where are located the bo-
nanza wheat farms of which we heard SO
much some years ago. Second, the grazing land
in the western part OF the commonwealth, dot
ted here and there with stock ranches, and
where horses and cattle have the wide expanse
of prairie to subsist on. Third, the very few
counties in the state that are by nature fitted
for diversified farming on account of the fertili-
ty OF the soil, the abundance OF water, the
sheltering timber and undulating character Of
the surface In this last division, and the most
prominent therein, we find Ransom county.
Those who have settled there have profted by
the old adage concerning the risk of putting

loeek to the south and west, and the Sheyenne
river entering our county iu the northwestern
corner and traversing it diagonally, passing
though the center OF the county and thus to
the southeastern corner there is no county in
the state our equal; for this means an abundance
of water for stock at all seasons Of the year and
shelter in the timber during the winter
There are natural springs and good pure
cold water can usually be obtained at depth OF
from Is to 80 feet, although in some instances
greater depth is necessary, when an abundant
supply of water is always found
Since the organization of Ransom county
in 1880 our population has incresed till now we
have 1000 inhabitants, mostly prosperous
farmers.
Lisbon, the county seat, with a population
of 1000, is beautifully located on the Sheyenne
river, and in the geographical center OF Ransom
county.
Ithas six churches, a large and commodions
graded school, the State Soldiers Home, flour
MILL two banks, two newspapers, two magazines,
water works, telephone and acetylene gas plant.
There ninety schools in the county, giving
ample educational facilities.

Gollmar Bros, ], Big Railroad Show

Gollmar Bros. Big Railroad Show
which exhibited here last Wednesday,
left very good impression, giving a
clean and meritorious performance
both afternoon and evening to almost
the limit of their seating capacity.
Several features, especially the slack
wire work, was genuinely new and
never before seen with any circus
here. The Menagerie was good, en-
bracing many rare animals. Follow
ing the example of all the frst-class
shows, they permit no thieves or STA
kers" to follow their show and none
of this 1lk were to be seen either on
the grounds or about the city. Should
Gollmar Bros. see fit to visit us an
other season, they will have to bring

NORTH DAKOTA has always been a
wonder as wheat growing country, but this
year surpasses all others. Now is the time to
visit this country as you will have a chance to
see the immense crop on the ground. This ex-
cursion goes directly TO Ransom, the banner
county Of the state Ransom county's crop
this year is what is called GA Bumper Crop
and we would suggest that the farmers OF this
community who contemplate investing in land
should Join this excursion and see not only the
finest country in the northwest, but a crop that
will make their mouths water.
n Few Facts About N. Dakota.
The prairies Of North Dakota are covered
with rich, dark drift of alluvla loan, from one
to four feet deep, under which is a clay subsoll,
which has the property OF holding moisture to
a wonderful degree and giving it out as needed
for the growing crops. 1t contains practically
inexhaustible supply of soil ingredients most
valuable for agriculture, namely: soluble silica,
lime potash, soda, phosphoric acid, nitrogen,
and vegetable humus There is no better soil
in the world for general farming purposes. 1t
is easily pulverised, and after the prairie is once
broken, cultivation is done with comparatively

RELIGIOUS THOUGHT.
Gems Cleaned from the Teachings of
All Denominations.

Faith takes God as authority and
yields obedience to supernatural, di-
vine Lord at all times.-Rev. DR.. NJ.
Durham, Congregationalist, ST. Louis.
PEACE THE SUM OF ALL GOOD.
Peace is the condition of the d1scov-
cry of all truth. of the mastery Of all
piness.-Rev. DR.. Minot ]. Savage, Uni
tartan, New York.
ERA OF PRACTICAL RELIGION.
The day of theoretic Christianity is
at hand. The Christian life is the siren
uous life, the practical, helpful life
Rev. Samuel B. Moore, Christian, ST.
Louis.
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
Every phenomenon of nature is true
to the cause back of it. Each individual
is the perfect actor of his own thoughts.
You cannot expect spiritual conclu
sion from a carnal mind-Rev. F. z.
Mason, Brooklyn.
HIGHEST TYPE OF MANHOOD.
The manhood that resigns ana sur
wives is the spiritual man, which grad
ually, under divine guidance, comes into
possession of its powers and at death
passes through the gates beyond the
years-Rev. DR.. G. B. Vosburgh, Bap-
GODS ESTIMATE.
Nothing is lost with God. The noble
aspirations for. the better life and the
wish to do something for others, though
circumstances may thwart its accom-
plishments still have their merit in
Gods estimate.-Rev. John E. White,
Baptist, Atlanta, Ga.
PUBLIC VIRTUE.
AS Catholics we must unfurl our ban
ners and take a heroic stand in the af-
fairs of our country history We must
tue and religion and God. We must
keep the, trumpet of Gods glory to our
lips. ready to blow everywhere tidings
of Gods love and his nercies.-Rev. O.
A. Hill, Catholic. New York.
THE POLE OF THE SPIRITUAL
UNIVERSE.
AS we look through the centuries and
the various races of men, in spite of
difference in language or color, there is
one point at which they converge And
There are many other names for him,
just as there are many other words for
love. But we know when a man is
thinking of love- and we know when a
man is thinking God-Rev. Frederick
E. Hopkins, Congregationalist. Chicago.
HOME THE CENTER OF LIFE.
Home life IS the center of all life.
We shall have strong states if we have
happy homes. We shall have peace
among the nations If we have Deacable
homes. Senator Hoar once said wisely
that the real purpose and end of every
struggle for liberty and constitutional
necessity of establishing happy homes.
King Alfred Magma Charta. the bill
of rights, the Declaration of Independ-
ence,. all have their value. which is
inanite value. so far as they secure for
us happy homes. We shall have good
men and coed women if we have glad
and cheerful homes. and only so.-Rev.
DIR. Edward Everett Hale, Unitarian,
Boston.
NATIONAL TRUST IN GOD.
In the great crisis of national affairs
| God if we only trust him, will give
us the right men for the right places.
| Did ne not give the right man for the
right place when he gave Thomas JEFF
ferson. the writer Of the Declaration of
independence? Did he not give the
right man for the right place when
George Washington became the head of
the American armies? Did not God
give the right man for the right place
