moved from Coal Harbor to Under
wood and a feeling of uncertainty ard
doubt as to the future was expert
|enced. The town was still doing d
good business, it still being great
trading center for the country ana en-
joying an excellent trade with the m
dians Of the Fort Berthold reservation
and good town for the livery and
hotel business. S
At this time there were two stores,
Geo. 4. Robinson conducting general
store and the McGray Bros. having a
large hardware, furniture and nipple
ment business. II. i. Simon was con-
Quoting the hotel and kept the livery.
The Citizens State bank and the Coal
Harbor Lumber company were also
having an excellent business, and Jas.
BOYLE. one Of the first pioneers of the
county, having come to Fort Steven
son in 1867 was running carpenter
shop in the town.
One day in May, 1905, news came to
Coal Harbor that caused joy or sad
ness, depending upon the interests Of
those hearing the news. The railroad
was to be built on to the northwest
from Underwood. s5S
These Were Wild and Exciting Days.
There were all kinds of rnmors
afioat and railroad officials and en-
ployees were coming and going. Gov
eminent employees in various branches

Ling after the public land business ii
examining into the possibilities Of r
Irrigation works and the geological de.
partments Of both the national and
state governments had men in the
field making survery, and much Of this
work being done in the Coal Harbor
Deountry made interesting times.
| Realizing that the End had Come.
There are hopes and aspirations OF
towns and communities as well as Of
Iindivi duals, and to see them uprooted
and destroyed is a sad sight, but thai
which men call progress does not stoI
for sentiment but goes steadily aheai
and when the people of Coal Harbol
learned that new towns were to BIZ
built there was no time for regret o.
trepining.
i Plots and plans, commercial and pc
litica1, were being carried out ami
nothing but intense hustle in the new
towns would do. But where were th,

mystery, cliagrin, plots and cotlnt ter
plots were the order Of the day
It was very evident that eiae trade
would go to the new railroad towns
wherever located, and the citizens of
Coal Harbor entered into the strug
gle with a hearty good will. Some of
the houses had already been moved to
Underwood and Others were being
made ready for the move. Some were
torn apart and others were moved en-

and thereby the postofi1ce Of Coal Har-
Dor is located in the town Of Colehar-
Dor. The new town was built and the
postoffice moved in the summer of
1905
OF the early settlers of Victoria CT
Coal Harbor not one is left on the
old toWnsite and nearly all the houses
are torn down or moved away. The
Russell House, residence or two ana
some Of the stables and outbuildings
are still standing. Two families are
living there vet, as they own land near
by and are engaged in farming, but
they are newcomers z

located between seven and eight miles

5000 acres Of land and organized ana

to active mining as soon as the rail
roads were built
There had been good veins Of Ignite
coal discovered In the bluffs along the
river and VIM. 3. Lacey, ST., had
found coal in a coulee on section "a
and the question was, did the coal ex-
tend under the broad prairies this two
miles Holes were drilled on section
23 and the coal was struck in every
hole, and the work ceased when the
drill stuck in coal seam which it had
penetrated to a distance Of 10 or IL
feet and a depth Of 100 feet from the
surface. But, alas! a great change
came. The railroads were not built.
The coal companies did not operate,
hard times set in over the United
States resulting in the. terrible panic
Of the early COS and the distance was
too great to haul grain to market
even if it had been grown and the dry
weather was discouraging, SO the
hopes and aspirations Of a few years
previous were changed to doubt and
encouragement and many people left
the country as soon as they could
prove up on their homesteads and
mortgage their lands for enough to
get them away.
But those who remained and farneti
or raised stock became wealthy. In
1898 w. d. Washburn bought about
10000 acres of land in Burleigh
and Mclean counties and started to
build the Bismarck, Washburn< S&
Great Falls railroad In 1899, getting as
far as Washburn in 1900. In 1902 a
great rush Of emigration passed
through Coal Harbor and settled the
country on the north around Garrison
and on the. north and west along the
county line until It met another wave
Of the same kind coming down from
the towns along the Great Northern
railroad. In 1908 the 500, having ppr
chased the B.. w. & G. F.. roailroad

er, May 1883, the post ONCE being
named Coal Harbor, but Mr.. Let's,
being an Englishman, having. decid-
ed to have the town named Victoria,
in honor Of England''s greatest queen
objected This at once produced a
verbal war with all kinds Of rumors

tinued as to name and to where the

Mr.. Gilbert had his family on the

office was legally and properly
named Coal Harbor, and being in
physical possessions the matter was
finally adjusted. if not to the salts

many persons to join the association

The transpo rtation accommoda tions
were none too good nor too frequent

between the forts and Bismarck, a
number Of steamboats, on the river
