ROesevelt's Cabin.

The Independent received from
Lieutenant Governor, two SOU
venir North Dakota buttons with
the picture OF Theo. Roosevelt's
log cabin which he used in his
ranching days in this state. Ac-
companying the buttons was a
card, upon the front ofwhich was
the following history OF the cabin:
'EIn the fall OF 1883 Theodore
Roosevelt visited western North
Dakota for his health, became
enraptured with the country,
bought the Maltese Cross brand
of cattle and ordered built the
cabin now shown in the North
Dakota exhibit in the Agri-
cultural Building, Worlds Fair.
The cabin stood eight miles
south of Medora, on the line Of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, in
the heart Of a romantic region
Astounding in big game. Here
Mr.. Roosevelt lived for three
years, dividing his time between
hunting and the actual life OF the
cowboy, and here he regained
health and acquired the strength
which has fitted him for the ardu-
Gus duties which have since been
his.
The cabin was purchased by
the state of North Dakota. taken
down early last March, and built
on it's present site exactly as it
stood on the banks OF the little
Missouri river.
The articles shown in the cabin
were actually worn or used by
Theodore Roosevelt and have
been loaned by his late foreman,
who is now the owner OF the
Maltese Cross brand of CATTLE
On the back were some inter-
esting statistics regarding this
state:
"The area OF North Dakota is
70, 172 square miles, containing
A. 91O,OSO acres. Estimated
population, 100000.
There remains in the state
about 100000 acres of free
government land still open to
homesteaders, which will make
Is, 900 farms OF 100 acres each
awaiting settlers.
North Dakota has more schools
in proportion topopulation than
any state in the Union. Her
schools have a land endowment
now worth $50,OOO,OOO, and
rapidly increasing in value. In a
few years the schools and state
institutions will be self support
ing.
The state abounds in Ignite
coal, selling at from 81 to 3per
ton, according to distance from
mines.
Land can be bought in North
Dakota, if desired, on crop pay
ment plan, viz: One-half OF an
nual crop going toward purchase
price. Buyers often pay for their
land in one season in this way.
There is a splendid field in North
Dakota for merchants and pro-
fessional men of all lines. The
state will prove a gold mine to
anyone endowed with energy,
integrity and determination to
succeed"
