Letter from Harding Co.

u. s. Commissioner Glendinning,
formerly n Of the LEADER family,
Is now located at Ludlow, Harding
County, and writes the LEADER the
following interesting letter under
date of June sth. Harding County
was cut out Of the northwest portion
of Butte, and is a very large county.
Mr.. Glendinning is court commits
sioner for that section, and his main
business will be to look after filings
and final proofs on Government land.
He says the Honyokers" are pleased
with Sc much rain.
Editor Leader: Ipromised to write
when I reached here SO will begin by
saying that I arrived last week from
Lennon, coming via Bowman, N. D.,
and from there by stage.
On account Of rain, which has been
falling more or less eve since l arriv-
ed, have been unable to get around,
therefore do mot know much about the
country other than In the immediate
vicinity.
Here it is quite rolling and in places
the buttes are quite high and usually
covered with stone. Between these
buttes, even If they are large and
have the appearance Of small noun
tains, may be found nice valleys
containing fine land right up to the
foot Of the hills. This part of
Harding county was visited by a
prairie fire last fall and everything
laid bare, so now after these heavy
rains the whole country looks beauti-
full with its new coat of green.

At present u majority Of the filings

of Buffalo, the county seat.
Ludlow is situated about % miles
due south of Bowman, N. d. Buffalo,
the county seat of this (Harding)
county, is south and a little west
about IS miles, so that we are about
midway between. 1t is about rs miles
to the Little Missouri river on the
west, and by going from five to ten
miles farther a person will be in
Montana.
TO the west Of US about five miles
may be seer the Cave Hills Forest re-
serve. This is a long range of hills
covered with scattering timber.
While the timber Is not very thick on
the ground it is quite large and looks
good to a person raised in a timber
country. To the south and east, but
farther away, is the Slim Butte
Forest reserve. This reserve is much
larger than the Cave Hills.
I was agreeably surprised on arriv-
ing here to find some Lincoln county
people. They are Hudsonites: Ole
Torkelson, John II. Sketfington and
Mr.. and Mrs. Sigvold johnson. The
ranch formerly owned by a Mr.. Clark,
together with about 1875 head of cat
tie, was purchased by Messrs. Torkel-
son and Skeff1ngton. These gentle
men all have claims near the ranch.
Mr.. Torkelson is postmaster and
has a neat little office fixed up. 1t Is
here that l have my headquarters,
doing my work in the postotfice.
At present this office Is supplied
with mail from the south from Belle
Fourche via Harding and Buffalo
three times a week, and from Haley,
N. D., twice a week. We are In hopes
of having a change soon, getting our
mail direct from Bowman. A post

around is on horseback. Most Of the

summer and warm in the winter, but
it is different when there Is a heavy

some time for the sod to get thor
oughly soaked thru, but when 1t does
begin to leak it leakes good and plenty
for some time. This has always been
considered a semi-arid county but from
the recent rains it would appear that
things have changed.
Until recently this has been moth
ing but a grazing country, a great
many ranches being scattered through
out the country. And it has proved
an easy and successful money making

to do was to get a bunch Of stock and

Things have changed in the last
two years. Others saw the pos

file upon the land. The ranchers who
had simply ~''squatted" fastened to
file upon the land they had been
