STARK, BILLINGS, HETTINGER,
DUNN AND BOWMAN
(J0TINTTES


This part of North Dakota for
many years was viewed solely from
the stock raisers' standpoint, but this
idea has undergone great change.
w. G. Gilbreath, state commissioner
of agriculture and labor, who has
made a athorough study of conditions
In all parts of the state, has this
to say about this region:
1T was only a short time ago that
1t was the custom to speak slight
ingly of the agricultural productive
ness of the soil of the west Missouri
slope. This great section was given
over to ranges and very little grain
was produced, in fact, not much more
than was required for home con-
sumption. Now all this is changed.
Those prairies where roamed count
less cattle, horses and sheep, are
being rapidly turned into farms and
small stock ranches, and the land
In the summer time is dotted over
with growing grain of every descrip-
tion. For the past three years, or
since the owners of the lands have
turned their attention to farming,
there has been no section of this
state where the soil has given forth
more bodntiful crops. The country
has been transformed from bleak
prairies, into attractive and comfort
able homes by teeming, thriving
farmers who are growing rich from
what they are getting from the soil,
and from their flocks of sheep and
herds of cattle and horses.

the Missouri Slope country, consists

winter.
Billings has the highest altitude
of any county in the state, Sclti-el
Butte being the highest point in the
state with an elevation Of 2,70U ieet
above sea level.
Billings county is an ideal stock
country and was not farmed much
until the past three years. 1t was
organized in the eighties. Medora,
in the center of the Bad Lands, is
the county seat and a town with
more than local reputation on ac-
count of having been the home of
Theodore Roosevelt for two years,
and the scene of Marquis de Mores'
extensive operations in meat packing
in competition with eastern COM
bines. Sentinel Butte, farther west,
is thriving newer town, the largest
in the county, with several stores, a
newspaper and bank. Beach, still
farther west and near the Montana
line, is young and very lively rival
of Sentinel Butte, with good stores,
paper and bank. Golden Valley,
south of Beach, is proving fine ag-
ricultural section.
Hettinger County.
This county lies south of Stark
and is nearly twice as large, and has
always been the stockman's paradise.
New England, for a long time its
only town, was settled in 1887 by a
colony from New England, who
planned to farm along eastern lines
Little by little farming gave way to
stock raising as the value of the
nutritious grasses became known, and
most of the early settlers are now
very well-to-do. During the past two
years great influx of settlers from
the central and eastern states has
taken place and hundreds have found
pleasant homes in Hettinger county
The soil is very good and wei
adapted to mixed farming and ranch
ing, and the land is being taken very
rapidly.
New England has now a tri-weekly
mail from Dickinson, which service
also includes Haley, town a few
years old farther south. Daily mai
will be given this line the first o1
July. Mott is a flourishing new towr
in the eastern part of Hettinger II
the more exclusive farming part o.
the county. This town has bi-weekly
mail out from Richardton.
Hettinger county will probably or
ganize soon and have regular sys
tenn of schools, which are mucf
needed to properly care for the edu
cation of the rising generation.

its aggregate value is immense.
Fargo is the largest city by a good

West Missouri Slope Country Best Portion Of

for Stock Raising and Mixed Farming

Would that Daniel Webster and
some of his compatriots who upon
the floors of congress so bitterly op-
posed the purchase of the "Great
American Desert" might look today
upon North Dakota's broad wheat
fields, upon the wealth of sleek cat
tie. horses and sheep and upon a
happy, contented people, accumulat-
Ing wealth In this same "Great
American Desert To many an
fastener, North Dakota is desert
still. To such this paper comes as
an eye-opener.
North Dakota extends from east
to west three hundred and eighty,
and from north to south two hundred
and fifteen miles, giving an area Of
7O,795 square miles, about six hun
dred of which is water. The terri
tory of Dakota-embracing the pres
ent states Of North and South
Dakota-was organized in 1861, with
Yankton as territorial capital. Bis
marck became the territorial capital
In 1883 and remained the capital of
North Dakota when it was admitted
to the sisterhood of states November
2, 1889. The population of the state
In 1890 was 1872, ,719; in 1900, 319, 9,146;
and In 1905, by authorized state cen
sus, 437 ,O70-a gain Of 81 per cent
in five years.
The government census shows
that, according to the population,
North Dakota is already the wealth
lest state In the union with the larg-
est income per capita. Poorhouses
are unknown because unneeded.
Seventy-five per cent of the popula-
tion live upon the $4,000 farms or
combined farms and ranches. The
eastern part Of the state, known as
the Valley is the great wheat pro-
ducing section and was first settled.
The west Missouri slope-of which
we shall speak more in detail-was
q few years ago given over to large
ranching interests, but is now the
most prosperous section of the state
with combined farming and stock
raising. A conservative estimate
gives the states yearly wealth pro-
duction, '$1OO, O,OOO, 900 from grain and
$10,OO0,OOO from stock and dairy
shipments. II
AS result of this prosperity,
North Dakota has more banks In pro-
portion to the population than any
other state. Two hundred ninety-six
carefully supervised state banks and
ninety-seven national banks, makes
the ratio : bank to leach LOO people.
The various state institutions have
liberal land endqwments as will be
seen from the following list:
