Devils Lake, NJ, D., jan 30.-Train
service on the line of the farmers
railroad is IDEAL, Not a day has
passed since the daily, passenger
train from Devils Lake to HansbOro
was installed, that round, trip has
not been made and a freight train
runs daily as we'll This is great
advantage to the business men on this
line and as result many people are
becoming disguised with the poor
train service on the 500 and will To-
cate on the. Farmers railway.
There are nine good towns on this
road, commencing with Webster in
this county, twelve miles from here.
This attractive little village is stu
ated In the heart of the best territory
In North Dakota. There are OPEN
ings here for nearly any line Of bust
ness.
Garske, eighteen miles from Devils
Lake, has a territory remarkable for
it's size. There Is room at Graske
for any kind of a store. More grain
Is hauled to Garske each year than
to three-fourths of the towns on the
main lines Of any road in the state.
Starkweather, twenty-four miles
from here. is the largest town on the
road It is one of the busiest places
in the county.
MELVILLE is the first town on the
Starkweather extension and is SO
miles from Devils Lake. Things have
just begun to move at Neville, and
before saying more, 1t might be we'll
to add that the reason that there are
many good openings on this road is
because At was completed late in the
fall after the boom had been on for
some time at all the other new towns
these towns were neglected; little, ad-
vertising was done, and people are
commencing to realize that good open
ings have been overlooked and now.
while banks and business houses of
different kinds are leaving the over
crowded towns ON some of the other
lines, they should not overlook the
townsites on the Farmers road
At MELVILLE there Is an opening for
a bank that is the best ip the state.
This town has a large territory and
many business establishments. 1t also
needs blacksmith shop, hotel, gen.
eral store and a doctor.
Olmstead, the next town north Is
forty miles from here and is the
junction town, short distance from
Egeland, and it Is said that while
the people at this 500 town see the
daily train service on the Farmers
road they gnash their teeth because
Of the fact that it is often days and
days before a train on the Sod line
either passenger or freight arrives.
Olmstead has just commenced to
grow, and this Is attributed to the
facts above stated as we'll as to the
excellent train service on the Farm
ers' road.
The Northern Investment company
of Devils Lake, which controls the
townsites on the Farmers railway has
just built a large hotel at Olmstead
and It will be opened in q few days.
Experienced hotel men have leased
the building and are equipping It in
modern style and it will be run with
q view Of pleasing the travelling pub
lie, as Olmstead has become an inn
portant passenger point, the business
here having doubled from month to
month. There is an opening at Ohm
stead for any line of business. A
bank could not help making money.
Notwithstanding the fact that Eye
land is but short distance from Ohm
>stead there Is a large territory tri-
butary to Olmstead from the south
and east This is a good point.
Crocus, forty-seven miles from Dew
lis Lake, has the largest territory Of
any town, perhaps, on the line and
needs a bank, doctor, general store,
lumber yard and drug store as well as
other business houses. A
Rock Lake, fifty-three miles north
of here is the best town on the ex-
tension and Is quite city already.
1t is located beautifully on the shores
Of Rock Lake and is an ideal summer
resort. This town needs another gem
eral store, bank, hotel, grist mill, doc
tor, lawyer and dentist. Any bust
ness will succeed here.
Fishery, sixty miles from here has
many openings. It needs a bank, par
ticularly, blacksmith shop, restaur-
ant, drug store and hotel.
Hansboro, at the end Of the line, is
sixty-seven miles from Devils Lake
and is a thriving point already quite
large but with room for any kind of
business.
There is no place in the country
where there are better openings than
on the Farmers railway, and no bet
ter train service than on this line,
and the Northern Investment company
does more in the way Of Improvements
for its towns than any other town.
