son county, which they are selling at
very low figures and on very long time
payments. This company also has bar
gains to offer the agriculturist as well
as the man who wants to locate in
business in towns along its line. For
particulars address c.. H. Babcock, of
the land department, or F. l. Whitney,
the general passenger agent, at ST.
Paul. The rapid growth and develop
ment of Kittson county and Red river
valley has been grandly supported, if
not largely induced, by the Great
Northern railroad, and along its steel
arteries flow the fruits of our fields to
feed the world and the tide of emigra-
ton to build our cities or develop our
vast agricultural resources.

The town never had a boom, nor do
they want one, but it has always had
a solid and steady growth, largely due
to its enterprising people, and the eX-
cellent high standard of the local press,
combined with her most excellent
schools and churches.
It is the county seat Of Kittson coun-
ty, and one of the best towns along
the line of the Great Northern in Min
nesota- 1t is no idle boast to say that
Hallocll viii in the near future become
one of the leading and most promis-
ing cities of the valley.
Only few years ago where now
stands the busting little city of Hal
lock there was nothing to obstruct the
vision from great ocean of rolling
prairie. Now its population is nearly
1000, and we can see fine farm houses
on all sides, with here and there
beautiful grove springing into view
and a city being rapidly built up with
substantial buildings. Her citizens are
all of one mind, working hard and
faithfully for the advancement of the
town and county, and investing the
money made here right in the city in
good buildings and other improve
mentS. The city is already abundant
iy supplied with all business enter
prises, but still others could do a prof
liable business, especially in the dairy
line, starch factory, beet sugar factory,
flax oil mill, oatmeal mill, paper mill,
any or all of which would receive sub
Stantial encouragement from the citi-
zeps and business men. HaIlock has
fine waterworks, the finest fire depart
ment in the northern part of the state,
having taken the championship ban
ner four successive seasons; a fine
brass band, which is certainly a credit
to the city.
The present council of the city of
Hallock is composed Of the following:
Mayor, H KenZen; councilnen, A. H.
Anderson, William Inglis and e. Ellis;
clerk, S. E. Thompson; treasurer, N.
D. Swenson. Hallock has a splendid
hotel, known as the
Pacific Hotel,
which were erected in 1889 at a cost of
about $4,000. Since then an annex has
been built at an additional cost of
about $4,000. It is a three story frame
building with a good stone basement.
1t is steam heated and gas lighted
throughout. 1t has over fifty rooms.
including a large dining room with a
seating capacity for sixty guests, sam
pie room, Office and parlor. The Pa
cific hotel is now under the efficient
management and ownership of C. F.
Peterson, who has resided in Hallock
over twenty years, most of which time
has been spent in farming and filing
different clerical positions. The hotel
is very conveniently located. being sit
uated only two blocks from the depot,
and when we say that it is one of the
largest and best hotels on the Great
Northern road, between Crcokston and
Winnipeg. We are not misrepresenting
it in the least We find churches as
