after which he accompanied his

boyhood.
Mr.. Wrays new field Of duty will
necessarily bring him in contact with

that will make it an attractive place for

western town, such as good ranching
lands within the "Bad Lands" district,

Bowman is one of the best watered
counties in the state. The larger streams
are the main fork of Cedar creek. Buffalo
and Lightning creeks and the north fork
of Grand river, with their tributaries, in
the eastern and central portion; while
the Little Missouri river flows north
through the western portion. The larger
tributaries of this river from the east are
Coyote and Spring creeks, and from the
west Box Elder and Little Beaver
creeks. In addition t the streams there
are many large springs of fine water.
The eastern portion of Bowman county
seems especially adapted to farming and
the numerous streams afford many wide
valleys suited to crop raising, and as
soon as railroad facilities are afforded,
which will be during the coming year,
the soil is going to be cultivated to a
great extent.
Stock grazes out through the winter
and keeps in good flesh. The prudent
farmers and ranchers, however, put up
hay and feed during the stormy days.
Native coal is abundant in all portions
of Bowman county and the settlers have
but to mine and haul the same when lay.
ing in a winters supply If fuel. The
usual cost of coal delivered is from $3.50
to s. per ton.
Until about three years ago Bowman
county was given over entirely to stock
raising and a few large herds occupied
this entire territory. About this time,
farmers from Iowa, Minnesota, Wiseon-
sin and other Middle West states, who
were looking for free government home
steads and cheap lands adjoining, were
quick to see the possibilities of this
country.
Few of the 1905 settlers had time for
preparing much virgin soil for crops that
year so that really the first grain crop to
amount to anything was harvested last
fall. 1t is estimated that 600 acres were
cropped in 1906, the greater portion
being sod crops or from first breaking
Crops of all kinds gave abundant yields
and the settlers are all pleased. The
Western Land Securities Co.'S 8o-acre
field Of fax was the subject of much
favorable comment. The average yield
was IS bushels.
