Messrs. X. Rypkema. Anne Baker
and Gerrit Brummcl were i'm town
Tuesday, from the Westtield coun-
try. MIR. Brummel was en- route
to Iowa to spend the winter. He
settled in Emmons county about
ntythree years ago. Afterward
he quit the state and went to Mon
tana. But his experience there CON
WINGED him that there were better
opportunities in tins part of North
Dakota than nthe part of the Noun
tain State where he was located.
He became firm in the belief that
our lands would some day, when the
railways came. be of good value. So
he suited his actions to his belief
fastened himself to "A considerable
area of Emmons county soil, and
now he is in such financial condition
that he doesn't have to think twice
about it when he wants to go back
to the old Iowa home to spend the
winter. Not that he made all of his
stake by fortunate Investment in
land, for Gerrit did his share toward
making the Westtield country one OF
the garden-spots of the county.
Dakem, one of Fmmons county 5
old territorial postoiiices. has gone
kebump. Mrs. Gilbert wanted to
give up the office. and has wanted to
do so for long time. so that she and
her family might Join MIR. Gilbert at
Pollock. where he is manager of

ivel is mighty slow sometimes about
removing the burden of small coun-
try postotfices from the T.. M S
shoulders; and he was so in this
case. SO. finally. patience, forbear-
ance and all that sort of thing
ceased to be virtue. Thereupon

and turned over to Bjones. Yes;
the old landmark of Dakem has
vanished into the whichness of the
where. BY the way although we
have told the story before many
newcomers have never analyzed the
word 'Dakem and ascertained the
wherefore of the whatness of the
cognomen. Once upon time, as
the novelists say, the people up Bea-
yer river had become sufficiently
numerous to call for postoftice of
their oWnest own. So, after half a
dozen names had been sent to Wash
ington, none of which was satisfac-
tory to the moguls there, the first
syllable of Dakota ct was Terri
tory them and the same of Emmons
were conglomcrated; and this suit
ed the great official guns i'm the far
east. From that day to the recent
unconditional surrender, Dakem had
been doing business on the banks of
eastern Beaver
III. A. Archambault arrived from
the reservation, Friday of last week,
on his way to Bismarck He was
accompanied by his daughter. Miss
Blanche, whom he placed in school
at the Capita City. He was here
over night, and took the N. Y. train
Saturday morning. He staid i'm the
| Capital City but a short time, as
there are many sharpers in the
town at present looking for old ten
derfeet easy-narks, and as he hadn't
been there before for sixteen years,
and has never been in Mandan, he
thought it was best for him to as
quickly as possible pull his freight
for the solitudes Of South Dakota
However, on his way home, he re-
manned in Linton long enough to
visit the Old-timers who knew him
when he lived down at the mouth of
Beaver, and that present mighty riv
err was only few drops Of dew, and
when the principal food of the river
region dwellers was catfish and Ven
ison. AS the years roll by and the
| flowing gray beard grows longer
and thicker, the kind-hearted old pi-
oneer more and more resembles the
pictures we some of US have seen
of Moses.
