PIONEERS OF BISMARCK in rs
Partial List of the Old Timers Who Laid the Groundwork
for Bsmarck's Greatness THE Names OF Other
Pioneers Are Wanted

There is probably no city in North
Dakota which has as varying and as
interesting history as Bismarck. Its
early life was unique in that it had
two very sotrng individualistic ten
denotes during the pioneer days. The
city is so situated that it partook of
the widest of the wild western spir-
it; was a near neighbor to the UNI
ruly Sioux and western garrison life,
but on the other hand there was in
the city a strong sturdy element from
New York, New England and the
middle states which kept alive a high
social and intellectual life. The way
these two elements lived, the hard
ships they bore and the slow process
of creating the old into the broad
minded, progressive city of today, is
a story which should be preserved
for our children and is as important
to us as the New England Puritan
life and history is to the history of
Massachusetts today
Curator H.. C. Fish, of the State
Historical society is, gathering data
on the early history of Bismarck and
at present he is trying to make a
complete list of the people who were
living here in 1873. So far he has
been quite successful and has added

MOFfIT AS IT is

4 There is no town in North Dakota
that has brighter future before 1t 4
than has Motif. 1t has a larger and
much better farming country tribu
terry to it than has any other town in
this part of the state. This fertile
and highly productive country en-
braces about two hundred square
miles of which Motif is the business
center, and it extends not only MOTH,
east, south and west, but northwest
for many miles toward Bismarck,
the state capital. Since western
towns where there are few factories
must depend almost wholly upon
farming and dairying interests for
their support, and as Motif is in the:
center Of large country, there is
every reason to believe that it will
soon rank among the largest and
most prosperous towns in North Da-
kota. The beautiful location 1t occu-
pies on Long Lake makes it posi-
BILE for it to become one of the most
popular lake resorts of the great
northwest, and its two railroads are
even now bringing in numerous
sportsmen from eastern points. If
you want to get into business in a
live community where the chances
are all in your favor; come to Motif.
