NORTH DAKOTA GOOD ENOUGH
MuCh-Advertsed


Bowbells, N. D., May 49, 'O7
Editor of The Bowbells Tribune
Dear Sir: have taken much interest in following up
the correspondence published from time to time in the
local press throughout this part of North Dakota and
written by pilgrims who have made their start in life in
the Bowbels countryin fact made everything they
had and engaged in running other parts of
the country, especially the Canadian northwest looking
unwittngly for the best place and quickest means of
getting rid of the start they made here preparatory to
beginning life all again and trying again to crawl
from the bottom step of the ladder The great majority
of mankind don't know how to let we'll enough alonc and
in fact it matters little where these people pitch their
tents how they get rid of the handsome start in
life they have made by sticking for few short years
the great Bowbells country.
l have within the past few years sell out
their fine hoesteads here with other purpose in view
than to get hold of the moneygenerally greater
than they had had in their possession before and
feel warranted in expressing the belief than they
will again. With this in their possession they
go forth to make other conquests and so far have
been able to keep track of these people they fetch
within almost incredibly short time without penny to
their names and kicking themselves FOOLS Six years
ago when the crop failure general throughout the
Northwest you easily recall the crowd who sold their
farms here for mere song and went hence to find land
of milk and honey, and you must also be of the
fate that overlook many of he knocking about from
post to pillar in their fool quest of region that offered
better inducements and advantages than that which they
had lef only to wind up eventually with their limited
funds exhausted and themselves more reduced to
want
contend and verify believe that every man now resi-
dent of the Bowbels country will bear out in my
statement, that nowhere else the footsoo has poor
been able to change his condition. and that quick
ly from dependence to afluence, right here in this
favored country and those who satisfied to let we'll
enough alone and continue their hold the magnificent
farms they got simply for the taking, the who to-

to it that they kept in clean and sanitary condition
at all times
shall make it part of my duty to always attend the
regular meetings of the Council.
In conclusion let urge upon you conscientious work
along all lines, that official record may show that the
people made mistake in selecting their replX.sch
tatives. We want to make for ourselves individually
and body such record that when duties to the
city ended two years hence, go out of office
with clear conscience and happy in the knowledge that
had at least attempted to do something for better
ment of conditions of the city.

We have back among US today many who sold their
farms here and went to Canada took up land sticking
for time. during which they, according to their own
statements, suffered all kinds of prvaons, and finally
becoming dsgusted and seeing prospect for remote
much less immediate improvement in their surroundings
turned tail and again sought the Bowbes country penn
less, discouraged and ready and willing to take employ
ment by the day month the very farms they had
wantonly though unwtingly squandered.
Talk to me about Canada! Why, man, you and
only too well know that the advertising through which
these people being begulednto that country being
done through and by unscrupuous spectators who for
song have acquired vast tracts Of land there and have
made, and still making fortunes by allurng people
from this side of the line into their wcsct net and
having located them their bleak and uninviting
prares and gotten from them every cent they had
cumulated through long life of hard labor left them
their fate, not caring whit whether they starved roze
to death lay down and died by the waysdc in their
effort-which eventually must to hoof it back to
Gods country.
AS od-timer, resident of Dakota Territory long
before the days of statehood you must remember how
the northeastern portion of the present state Of North
Dakota settled, and by whom. From 1873 to 1880
and 81 Eastern Canadians falling another
in their wild rush to get into Manitoba and you will
remember how, after short residence in that country,
the same men, those of them who had enough means
left to get out, pel-mcll the line and took
up homes in the northeastern portion of the then Terri
tory of Dakota, State of North Dakota; and
predict and confidently look for just such happening
and that not in the very remote future from the prov
inces of Saskatchewan, Assinaboia Alberta and the
other remote regon Of the Canadian northwest 1t is
all well enough to talk about big crops. This will be the
rule, it has been in all parts Of the northwest
till the land shall have been worked for few years, and
then, with lower market quotations. extortionate rail-
road rates and labor and all necessary commodities sky
high as has been the rule throughout Northwest
Canada, you mark what say the exodus from Canada
loo1,
compared to that from Manitoba to Dakota twenty five
years ago G.. 3.

the Idaho Pioneers.
IFoH THE MESSENGER ]

mote TO THE EDIroR:-The purpose Of
these pc rsonal and historical sketches is to
preserve in print. as far as possible. the
story OF the old pioneers and TO aid in gathering
historical "reminiscences that may be secured
for the State Historical Society In making up
a complete history OF Idaho. II is the indiVid-
ual experience OF the pioneer that gives the
real life TO history, and it is the duty OF all OF
us 10 aid in collecting and securing as much Of
that history as possible while 1t is yet within
our reach. In every community can be found
those who have been many years in Idaho. and
each one OF these has life story worth record
ing. In these sketches will be found much val
uable historical data in connection with the
adventures and explorations OF the pioneer and
which In a few more years will have been 10 st
IL not secured when there is opportunity. Ev-
cry county, IL not every community, should have
a historical circle for tho purpose Of aiding
the State in its collection of material from
which its future history will be complied. and
also to secure relics, pictures. paintings. etc,
that are in any wise connected with the history
OF the State or its developmet.
When one takes up the trails OF the early
pioneers and follows on through all their mean
derings. in fortune and misfortune, TO the ap-
preaching end. the great wonder of It all is
that there should be any Of the great band left
TO tell the tale. The intent Of the writer is to
obtain as many OF these personal sketches as
possible and 10 have them published. where moi
too lengthy, and all to be turned into the State
collection OF personal "reminiscences. adven'
ture, and exploration OF the old guard Of pio-
neers who made the West and entwined its his
tory with the romance OF their lives.

Challis, Idaho, June 4th. 1907.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1907-06-04

Slowly they move with halting tread,
These heroes OF a vanished day.
To join the nations honored dead
And pass from raeking pain away.
Down through the years the march has dragged
Since that last day Of stubborn fight,
And many tired one has tagged,
Dropped from the ranks and passed from
sight.
Can these wan shadows be the same
Brave men who grappled once with Lee
Who breasted Shiloh's storm OF fame
Who followed Sherman to the sea
Are these the men who stemmed the food
OF living valor on that day
When. quivering. a nation stood.
And watched the vivid ighiRings play
Ger Gettysburg's blood -sOdden field,
And listened 20 the battle cry
OF reeling hosts that would not yield
Determined there TO win or die
That hideous carnival OF strife.
That long. sad night of blood and tears,
With doubts and fears and passions rife.
Has vanished with the buried years
May we the living issues meet
IS these men whose weary feet
Are slowly marching toward the grave.
The Grand Army soldiers are
passing away. This was notice
able at the Memorial Day exer-
cises held at Challis last Thurs
day. Few years ago Lincoln
Post No. 10, G. A. r. of Challis,
had some fifteen or sixteen mem
bers, but on Memorial Day last
week only Jas. Fl. VanCamp, R.
N. Hull, L. H. Johnston, Steve
VanCamp and ]. c. Fox, memb-
ers of this Post remain. Many
of its members are dead; some
have moved away.
Memorial Day was observed il
Challis last Thursday in the
usual manner-with appropriate
exercises at the Hall. consisting
of singing. etc, and an able ad
dress by Rev. A. j. Hoar. Aftel
the exercises at the Hall a pro
cession was formed and the ole
soldiers and citizens marched t,
the cemetery and decorated tn,
/ graves of the old veterans ant
others, with beautiful flowers.
