A LETTER FROM CHRIS
A Very Interesting Letter From Our
Friend Chris ]. Petersen to His
Old NeighborS
LUCK, WIS. Nov. 81, ,os.

LUCK, WIS, Nov. 2l, '05.
DEAR FRIEND MIR. LANcELoT:
My paper and pen are not very good
but will write few lines anyway.
Our party consisted of four boys: Wal
ter and Thomas Olsen, Jim Christen-
sen and myself. We left Harlan at
ten o'clock Tuesday night over the
Great Western Railway and arrived
at ST. Paul 7:30 a. M, Wednesday.
There wasn't any chance to see the
country as we travelled in the night,
but still it is fine to go along the river
into St. Paul. When we arrived at
Minnesota we decided to go to Luck,
Wisconsin, in company with Mr..
Madsen, from Elk Horn, who has
moved his family up here where he
has bought eighty acres of timber
land of Mr.. Bergreen. Both Mr.. Ber-
green and Mr.. Carl SHREDDER with fam
dies are locating here and will have
nice places when they get them clear
ed. Luck is built in two towns, the
old town and Luck. Luck is the new
part built since the 500 railroad was
built thru here. They have quite an
industrious town here, booming in all
branches. A new excelsior factory is
being built, and Mr.. Bergreen tells US
that as soon as 1T is completed he has
five cords of wood sold to it for that
purpose at five dollars cord. There
is fine lake lying right up to the
town here and there are several hotels
in town, one of which is the Lakeside
Hotel. Most of the people here are
Danes, and the farmers near town are
also of Danish descent. There are
many nice improved farms around
here, and the settlers from Elk Horn
are we'll satisfied. / would advise
those in Kimballton and Elk Horn
who have relatives here to take trip
up this way in the summer time 1.-THE
good old summer time, of course). We
are expecting to leave for st. Paul to-
morrow night and will start from
there in the evening or next morning
for CulbertoD, Montana, and l will
write again when we get there. am
expecting to meet my brother tonight
whom / have not seen for four years.
Well, l must close now or you will be
tired. With loving regards to your
self and the readers of the kimballton
and Elk Horn news from Chris Clerk,
j am, yours truly,

me. When we We're halfway through
