Between the Northern Pacific and
Milwaukee roads, on what it is expected
will soon be a Northern Pacific branch
line, are Mott, the county seat of Het-
finger county, and New England, a
busting little village and large trading
center. Each has its newspaper and
stores, and at Mott a commodious
county building has been erected. Many
other %postofices have been established
to accommodate communities of new
settlers, associated in most instances
with a good general store.
County organization has brought the
needed educational advantages and the
three counties are dotted with new, if
not "little red," schoolhouses. In Het-
finger 70 schools were organized during
the summer, representing an expendi-
ture of $4,000.
The moral and religious needs of the
people have not been neglected in this
new section and the various denomina-
tons have organized churches at the
principal points, while many small Sun
day schools are doing efficient work in
the rural districts.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR
CROPS IN 1908

The mild, beautiful weather of the
present winter severely taxes the old
est inhabitant to find in the past a
record to match it, and all are forced
to admit that for mild, even temper
AZURE and sunshine, the winter of
1907-8, If equalled, has never been
surpassed.
The winter of 81 and '82 was SIM
liar to this with no real winter wealth
er until March. From March 5th to
the middle Of April stiff winter
weather prevailed and plenty Of snow
fell, blocking the railroad.
1t was still milder throughout the
entire northwest during the winter of
~ and '78, the weather being rainy
and foggy like coast weather and
grass was green nearly all winter.
In March of that year also winter
came In earnest, with plenty of
snow, and it was then that the ice
crop was secured, firms from st. Lou
is and Chicago getting their supply
from White Bear Lake, Minnesota.
Asked about the summers follow
ing these mild winters, our inform
ant said that they were fine crop
years. The ground was worked ear
ly and much Of it seeded. Then came
plenty Of moisture and an early and
abundant crop.
From this data, it would seem that
the North Dakota farmer may look
for a fine farming season in 1908
following this third wonderfully
mild winter. - H~'

ADAMS, BOWMAN and HETTINGER
COUNTIES .
SHOW MARVELLOUS DEVELOPMENT.


Within the year, whose prosperity we
chronicle in this edition., great things
have been doing in the country south of
Dickinson.
The early spring and summer saw the
three counties Of Hettinger and
Bowman organized and the Milwaukee
pushing its new coast line through that
section at a rate hitherto unknown in
railroad building. The Milwaukee ira
verses a fine stretch of country and there
are no land grants as on the Northern
Pacific, which is a good thing for the
settlement of the southern counties.
The rich black soil of Adams, Het-
finger and Bowman counties has long
been known to produce grass of such
nutritious qualities that the cattle graz
ing there and drinking from the clear,
pure streams, annually topped the Chi
,cago market. But until two or three
years ago it was only an occasional set
tier who demonstrated the value of the
land for agricultural purposes, and when
the value of the land for crop-raising
had been proven beyond a doubt, the
distance from railroad facilities made
farming improbable.
But now all is changed. The Milwau-
kee, on the southern border of Western
North Dakota, divides business with the
Northern Pacific and furnishes trans
portation facilities for a large number
of homesteaders in the new counties.
Thousands came in 1906 and 1907 from
Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Iowa and other of the older states, to
make for themselves homes in the coun-
try of great possibilities-Western North
Dakota. Today, there are in Bowman
county alone 1900 farms, and the two
sister counties-Adams and. Hettinger-
make an equally good showing. Each
farm means an average Of from 20 to so
acres of new breaking this spring or
1890 increased crop acreage in the
three counties this year. This means

added wealth, and wealth produced from
undeveloped natural resources.
Towns have sprung up in these new
counties as if by magic. Lennon,
named for G.. E. Lennon, a wealthy
rancher, is situated just over the line in
South Dakota but draws much of its
support from southeastern Adams
county. The town already has two
banks, two newspapers and good stores
and is in the midst of a fine agricultural
country, where orn is a good crop.
Hettinger, "a miles west Of. Lennon,
has a fine location and enjoys the pres
tige of being the county seat of Adams
county. 1t has a good start with two
banks, large mercantile enterprises and
two newspapers
Bowman, 40 miles west of the Adams
county capital, and 20 miles east of Mar
marth, an important railroad town on
the Little Missouri, is the county seat of
the county of the same name. 1t is de-
lightfully located, and its financial and
mercantile interests are on a sound con
sentative basis. Two newspapers sound
the praises of the county and county
seat. 1t has two banks. The First Ma
%tional, with a capital stock of $4,000,
fully paid, was organized by ]. E. Phe-
Ian of Dickinson and opened for bust
ness late in the fall of 1907 when the
financial "panic" was at its height. Its
first statement showed deposits of $780,
600. and it now has $4,000. MI. Phelan
has just organized the First National of
Marmarth, showing that he has entire
confidence in the future of that: coun-
try. All through Adams and Bowman
counties were found last fall good crops
Of wheat, oats and flax, and in Bow
man, where the settlements are older,
the acreage was correspondingly greater.

Nomination Fell Flat.

Never in the history of this coun-
try, has a nomination by one of the
great parties fallen so fiat as the
nomination of Taft. The republican
states of Pennsylvania, Massachu-
sets, New York, Illinois, Ohio,
Maine and Connecticut all opposed
him, but, aided by the federal Office
holders of the Southern states die
tated to by Roosevelt, he won all
contests. Gloom, deep gloom. pre-
vades the Republican party for they
see defeat even now. The great
leaders of the party will show
Roosevelt that an outgoing presi-
dent must not dictate his successor
and this will be a lesson to all
future presidents. -Jersevville, ILL.,,

The friends of Mr.. Cowherd
throughout the state will be pleased
at the reiteratiOn of his early state
ment, wherein he said, he would
be his own campaign manager and
present his own cause on the stump
in person. His sensible and con-
sentative reply to the Hon. Champ
Clark, who has undertaken to carry
another mans candidacy to victory,
will be approved by every demo-
crat in the state who loves his par
ty and its principles more than he
does individuals. Although Mr..
Cowherd has been the target of all
the other Democratic candidates
now running or who have asSayed
to run, yet not one word has es-
capped him either on or off the
stump that can be used to the dis
advantage of the Democratic candi-
date nominated. That when elect
ed he will be governor free from the
dictation of anybody or anything
except his own honest conscience
is settled conviction of a large ma
jority of the democrats of Missouri
Mr.. Cowherd is daily demonstrating
that he is more. able to take care
of himself in a bout with the ablest
members of his own party, which,
of course, means that he will rout
the republicans easily in November,
especially when reinforced by the
eloquent democrats who are now
endeavoring to prevent his nomi-
nation. - MoberIy Democrat.

Way down in their heart the
common people have a feeling for
Bill COwherd. They love him be-
cause he is lovable Plain and I'M
pretentiOus, he is thoroughly Demo-
cratic and hence meets his fellow
citizens upon a level. Though he
is clean, upright, high-minded
Christian gentleman, yet he does
not parade his goodness nor seek to
leave the impression that he is
better than his party. There is
none of the hOlier-than-thOu Phari-
saiCal spirit about Cowherd. Meth
er does he essay to play the self
righteous role of humility exempli-
fled in the character of Dickens
Uriah Heep. He is just what he
appears to be. FrankneSs is his
card. Though honest, courageous
and of splendid ability, yet he ar
rogateS to himself no superior viz
tues and deals not in fulsome. He
does not seek to create the impress
sion that all before him were cor
rupt and that he is a second Daniel
come to judgment. He scorns the
role of the demOgogue who would
rise by pulling down his party'S
glorious record. He stands up like
a man, graspS your hand like a
man, looks you in the eye like a
man, and acts and talks like a man.
And after all there is no asset so
valuable as manhood, no quality
real men admire so much. And
the people admire him because he
is running for Governor upon his
own merit solely He is not any,
bOdy's candidate, not swinging on
to the coattail of any man, nor de
pending upon any boss to pull him
through. Mr.. Cowherd says that
he belongs to no factions and il
elected Governor will do all in his
power to re-unite the different fac
tons of party, and if he did not eet
the nomination he would work al
hard as any man for the success O
the ticket. Such talk can only come
from a big, broad, stalWart, loya
Democrat Centralia Courier.

If the Jeffersonian has any pOliti-
cal knowledge - and we claim to
have an average amount William
S COwherd will be the Democratic
nominee for Governor at the August
primary. Dave Ball is making
flash in the city of St. Louis, but be-
fore the voters go to the polls it
will practically have passed into
inocuous deSuetude. Ball has the
happy faculty of going up to a man
h. never saw before and saying:
"biy name is Ball Dave Ball
candidate for Governor. LiketOhave
yourvotc. See?" The fellow will
tell someone of his friends that
that fellow Ball is a great mixer
just grabs your hands and says he
wants to 60 to Jeff City. But that's
all there is to it. Cowherd is a
statesman He will make an ideal
Governor, one that all the people
can trust; for when laws need to be
enforced, Cowherd will enforce
them. Of course Mr.. Ball would
make a satisfactory Governor, and
we could vote for him cheerfully
should he win the nomination. But
we do not believe he has loOk-in.
He won't stand hitched. - Higgins
