Winnipeg will be the Chicago of
the west" were the words of w. F.
Winter. the Langdon real estate man
and promoter who stopped of last
evening enroute home from Winnipeg
and the Canadian northwest, The
party of North Dakotans of which
Mr.. Winter is one, are A. r. Bfrtch,
John Mahon of Langdon and G. w.
Andrews of Walhalla. The gentlemen
have just returned from a business
trip to Winnipeg and vicinity. Mr..
Winter Is of the opinion that when
the Midland road reaches Winnipeg
That city will grow even faster than
Its already phenomenal growth and
that the Chicago Of the west" will
be fitting term to use in its con-
nection.
THE wheat crop in the Canadian
northwest this year will be remark
able,' he said. land in my opinion that
Is going to be next to this country
as the wheat growing territory. When
North Dakota Is raising corn Canada
Will be raising wheat" he continued.
When asked whether or not he thought
the seasons here too short for success
full corn raising, Mr.. Winter stated
that he thought not. The seasons are
frightening as the country settles
and he is of the opinion that the time
will come when the corn crop of
North Dakota will cut considerable
figure. Mr.. Winter went north to
Langdon today and the rest of the
party have gone to the northwest
country on a prospecting tour.
j. s. Harms, one of the old time resi-
dents of Adams county, Ia, is in the
city, recent arrival from Corning,
Ia, and the guest of his son, Scott
Harms of this city.
The elder Harms has been a resi-
dent of Iowa for many years and is
as he terms it one of 1.-The stand
patters" in politics of that state. 81
am a republican and every son of
mine is also," said MIR. Harms to the
writer. Things are pretty we'll
shaken up in Iowa just now. Gov.
Cummings is a candidate for third
term as governor and there will be a
three-cornered fight for the nominal
ton on the republican ticket. l am
of the opinion that Mr.. Cummings will
be defeated and l favor Mr.. Perkins
as do a large number of the repub-
licans in Iowa"
Corn crop?" he said in answer to
an inquiry. I'VE are going to have
the biggest corn crop in the history
of Iowa this year. The stand is not
very heavy and the growth is shorter
than usual, but the crop is generally
good all over the state and l look
for bumper CROP" Mr.. Harms will
remain in Grand Forks for an ex-
tended visit. you have fine coun-
try here, a fine country, almost as
good as Iowa." he said at the Hotel
Dacotah lobby this morning when
chatting with the writer.
II am little afraid of rust" said
Attorney F. Smith of Langdon at the
Hotel Dacotah last evening. 1.-The
crop in our country Is something
wonderful and the stand of grain is
simply the best ever. We do not need
any more rain, however. If the prairie
chickens don't tangle the grain up we
will have a bumper CROP" he con-
tinued, laughingly. According to Mr.
Smith hunting in the north country
will be excellent this fall for the
coveys of chickens are large and
numerous. Mr.. Smith returned to
Langdon this morning after two days
visit in the city. He does not deny
the rumor to the effect that he is to
wed a prominent young society girl OF
Langdon in the not distant future.
Fargo is outclassing Grand Forks
IN the matter of street paving" said
Norman B. Black, the Minneapolis
paper company's man who is here in
the interests of his company. Mr..
Black makes this territory regularly
and has large acquaintance with the
newspaper men, he being an old time
editor of Wisconsin. He says that
Fargo and Grand Forks are the two
best cities he makes in a large terri
tory and that he can see a change for
the better every trip. He spoke in
most complimentary terms of the new
government building here and admired
its style of architecture.
