100000 bushels cf grain this
year, that being the conservative
estimate Of the amount that will

tributory to this road. The In.

viewed a number of farmers
with reference to the prospec-
tive yield, and thirty bushels
was considered a low average,
many fields going as high as
forty and forty-five. Lands up
on which these crops are grow
ing can be purchased at from
$25 to, $40 per acre, while the
school lands in the territory can
probably be purchased at from
$40 to SIG per acre, and on the
easiest terms ever known to land
buyers. It is the opportunity
of a lifetime.

A Tempest
Ina Teapot

made arrangements with Mr..
Small for desk room in the Inter
Ocean office for the purpose of
making out registration papers.
The business was my own entire!
ly and neither Mr.. Small nor the
Inter- Ocean had the slightest
interest in it. Upon being in
formed that a number Of notariesi
had signed some sort of a protest
(Which I was denied the privi-I
lege of seeing) in which it wasl
charged that men purporting to-
represent me were telling people,
to go to the ''Inter-Ocean office,
Senator Hansbrough's paper, 4 /!
| went to the man who had the
petition, protest or whatever it
was, and asked to see it. He
refused my request. Ithen pro-
posed that if he would call in the
document I would take down
my registration signs, and call
off the man or men charged
with having used the language
complained of. This proposition
was agreed to-the document
was destroyed and I carried out
my part of the agreement. The
use of Senator Hansbrough's
name is an outrage which I
repudiate, and I have evidence
that the man or men who are
charged with doing so did it
innocently and at the sugges-
ton of a constituencies scoun-
drel who saw an opportunity to
drag the senator's name into
the affair solely for the purpose
Of embarrassing his friends. My
only regret is that certain men
pretending to be friends of
Senator Hansbrough and the
Inter-Ocean did not give Mr..
Small or myself some intimatior
of what was going on before
they signed a document in which
complaint was made of things
they must have known tina
| neither Mr.. Small or myself en-
dorsed or would countenanct
: under any circumstances.

acres of grain in one continuous

dollars, and all the property Of
one man. It is no disparage-
ment to Mr.. Micklejohn to say
that while his wealth is now
near the half million mark, he
came to, North Dakota a few
years ago, a comparatively poor
man, and that every dollar has
been honestly made from North
Dakota farming. He owns near
ly a township Of land, superin-
tends the whole farming opera
tions, never has a crop failure,
and his hospitality is truly that
of a prince. The Inter Ocean
representative was kindly taken
in charge by Herbert Lewis a
brilliant young attorney who
though he has recently located
in that town, has already won
his spurs and is recognized as a
lawyer of more than marked
ability. In his charge the writer
was driven several miles through
the country, the grain being a
repetition of that noted from the
train on the journey to Stark
weather. The roads looked like
mere swaths cut in the grain,
while looking across the field,
horses and buggies on other roads
were nearly hidden from view
by the tossing grain. Mr.. Lewis
came to North Dakota, a penni-
less lad of sixteen, and while yet
a young man, he owns four quar-
tiers of land worth ten thousand
dollars, has graduated from the
state university, and qualified
himself for a learned profession.
1t is needless to say he is an en-
thusiastic North Dakotan.
While on this drive, the press
man was taken over a few of the
quarters of state school lands
which will be offered for sale
this fall. while they remain the
same as when the Indian pur-
sued the grazing buffalo over the
them, the grass everywhere
reached to the buggy axle and
often higher. This alone should
convince the most skeptical that
these lands are the greatest op.

of these within a few miles Of

Royal Trip Over

FTOI1l CHe rear pldIlOItl VI
splendid train Of cars, over the
only railroad in the world owned,
operated and differed by farm
ers, the Inter Ocean representa-
tive on last Sunday saw the rich.
est farming country ever brought
under the magic touch of the
pillow. The excursion over the
Farmers road last Sunday was
worth ten thousand dollars to
Ramsey county. The train COM
posed of three coaches and load
ed with passengers, under
the personal supervision Of
President Kelly, left Devils Lake
at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. In
the crowd were scores Of land
seekers who had come to compete
in the reservation drawings, and
who desired to see more Of the
country, and as the train swung
through the low hills which mark
the ancient shore line Of the lake
whose name is now a household
word, it was evident to a careful
observer that some at least of
the excursionists had taken the
stories of the wonderful grain
fields as a huge joke, and were
ready to doubt the truth. But
once past the hills, and past the
beautiful Freshwater lake which
lies like a crystal mirror in it's
frame of emerald green, and
forming one of the most roman
tic spots in the world, the grain
fields began to appear, and
when the thriving village of
Webster, with it's two hundred
inhabitants, with banking and
commercial facilities equal to
cities of three or four thousand
population in the older states,
was reached, the truth of the
wealth of the country began to
dawn on the visitors. For miles
the rush Of the train was through
fields Of grain stretching on eth
er side as far as the eye could
reach, the landscape dotted
everywhere with palatial farm
houses, two and three stories
high, with steam heat, bath
rooms, and every other modern
convenience, with barns that
would shelter hundreds of head
of stock, and yards filled with the
most improved farm machinery
ready for the work of caring fol
the golden harvest. No artist
brush nor poets pen has evel
portrayed the beauty of these
fields, with the grain just turn
ing from green to golden, anc
with heads bending beneath the
heavy loads, swaying in tn,
gentle breeze like the gentle bill
lows of a summer sea. But ia
below this sublime scene lie
the fact that every acre Of thi
billowy sea will yield from thirt,
to forty bushels of No. 1 north
ern or it's equivalent in othe
grains, which means the sam
number of dollars added to tn
wealth of the owner. The farm
ers who own these fields must in
deed have been a happy lot a
