H. DOUGLASS OF MINNEAPOLIS
TELLS OF SOME PIONEER
SIGHTS IN THIS SECTION.

Billings, Oct. 2S.-With the MINNIE
sofa party at the Dry Farming Con
gress were H. F. Douglass OF Mime
apolis, and w. B. Jordan, of St. Paul.
Mr.. Douglas is grain dealer now
and Mr.. Jordan merchant. Both
were pioneers in this western coun-
try with the building of the Northern
Pacific, and bring forcibly to mind
the marvellous transformation since
1880.
"At Sulphur Springs" said Mr..
Douglas, Il saw in those days $4,000
buffalo hides sent out in single
shipment to a St. Paul firm which is
still in existence, and very strong in
the hat and fur business.
And about the same time," added
Mr.. Jordan Il came down the Mis-
souri, on a steamer with a cargo of
10000 hides, and once we were COM
PEELED to stop because the buffalo
were fording the river and the steam

er couldn't get through the herds"
II don't doubt it," added Mr.. Doug
las" In Glendive in those days I
have frequently seen the prairie over
on the north side so black with buff
falo that not spear of green was
visible"
did you go and hunt them?"
NO" he replied with smile.
There was dividing line then, and
over there it wasn't particularly
healthful for a white man. You
know the Northern Pacific was built
into Glendive under military guard
to protect the construction crews
from hostile Indians"
This is the country where dry farm
ing is taking its hold today. The buf-
falo and Indians are both gone, and
in their places have come first ranch
es, and then prosperous farms and
the cities and towns.
