Driscoll N. d.. Oct. 17,-In an in
terview with B. r. Anderson, one of
the Oldest settlers of Burleigh county,
he said: Dakota is all right for a
great many things. 1t cannot be beat
en- for stock raising, ard almost any
thing will grow here when sufficient
moisture falls, and it must be said
this soil will stand the drouth longer
than any it has been my experience
to cultivate. Mr.. Anderson came here
from Illinois in 1888 He settled near
Mckenzie, but about three years ago
moved to his present quarters, near
Driscoll. Most of his attention has
been given to the raising of stock for
the market He has at the present
time something like fifty head of cat
tie and 200 sheep.
Frank Garrison.
Frank Garrison is one of the few
|
ors of North Dakota and settled in
this region, SO far from the land Of
warmth and sunshine where his kind
is supposed to flourish. But Garrison
is a modern product, educated in the
north and has all the push and energy
with which Northerners are generally
credited. 'Des Moines, Iowa, was my
home, nearly all my life" said he. 81
. was doing well there just before com

not the owner of any of Uncle Sans
good land, nor did l own home. II
was my desire to possess these mater

Last June l made a visit in Des

friends. and would you believe it. was

, Yes, l am content and Uncle San

taxes on it, because am surely goins
to stay right here till die.
Seems funny, don't it, that on'
8 brought up in the city with no know
ledge of farming whatever, should b.
content to remain on a little 160 acr
farm away out on the prairie? Never
theless there is something Fascinating
about the place which causes me t
, be satisfied"

F.. B. Ruddy is an Iowa man. destir
E. ed to become rich. although his idea

rs being possessed with the ideas thu
s. methods in present use among old e.
perienced North Dakotans are a
wrong or that it is his duty to expos
their mistake by becoming a shinin
example, by introducing differeI
ones, he has settled down to study tn
best way to success, be it by ne
methods or by old, and does not il
in tend to go in heavily until he fee
competent to do so. He has thol

is has already brought him in the neigf

possible for all to do thus, but Rudd
lg is a single man and has no one d.
Of pendent upon him. Nevertheless
re there are too many people who ma
rs know how to raise crops in Iowa an
OF Missouri but who will find themselve
