A Letter From the West

The following letter from N. P.
Nelson, long resident Of River
Falls, will undoubtedly be of inter
est to many of our subscribers
Though he is loyal to our own
beautiful city and its productive
surroundings, he has an eye for a
good proposition when he sees it,
and North Dakota farm lands, es-
pecially since the advent of the
steam horse" have certainly prov
ed to be profitable holdings.
Eettinger, N. D., Oct. 26, 1909
Dear Old Journal:-Never in all
the forty years that have weekly
peruSed your pages, have | so APP
preciated you as friend as l have
since coming out here to the wild
and woody west" | can quite un-
derstand now why my daughters
always wish me to subscribe for the
Journal for them for a Christmas
present when they go away from
home.
About month ago l started out
here for visit to my daughters,
and l am truly enjoying every mo-
ment that am here.
| should like to mention a few
facts concerning my observations
regarding the country hereabouts,
principally for the sake of the young
people who are looking for oppor-
tunities for a good start in life. ]
am getting old and | love my home
in River Falls and | know that River
Falls is the place for me as long as
| live, but, out here is where boys
and young men can find an oppor-
tunity to make good. Farming
prospects are such that they exceed
anything that ever dreamed of in
my younger days when was strug-
CLING to make both ends meet, on
my little eighty acre farm east of
town.
The past summer here proves that
the surrounding country promises
to be as much an Eldorado Of North
Dakota as the Red River Valley ever
was. When l return home I'm 60
ing to bring with me samples of the
different grains and vegetables that
have been raised here this summer,
and on land that was broken for the
first time two years ago when people
we're just taking up their home
steads. Only two years ago the
little town of Hettfnger was just be-
ginning to build up. Now it has
population of 1900 people. There
are five elevators, four hotels, three
drug stores, a court house, (Het.
finger is the county seat of Adams
county, an auditorium, fine new
school house-a beautiful brick
structure-four churches, stores and
shops of every kind, one large de-
partment store, six lumber yards,
three banks, a fine depot, a cream
cry, a flour mill-all of which are
doing a good wideawake business.
There is talk of the town becom-
ing a division point as there are
prospects of a railroad being built
which will run north and south
through here. The Milwaukee eX-
tension passes through the town
now If Hettinger becomes a di-
vision point it will be one of THE
cities of North Dakota.
Adjoining the town on the west
side is one of the experimental farms
of the state. They are certainly
hustlers out here and advancement
is everywhere prevalent. If | wa s
young l know what should do. |
may adolf any of the readers of
the Journal should be interested
and should desire inform alton more
in detail, T. S. Harris, Hettinger,
N. D., will be glad to correspond
with any such.

Open Meeting of Tuesday
Club

One of the most enjoyable, intel
1ectual and social events of the sea-
son took place at the home of Miss
Sadie Johnson, Tuesday evening,
November I'd, the occasion being
an open meeting of the Tuesday
Club. Miss Johnson invited the
Club and their escorts TO meet with
her in the evening instead of the
afternoon when the meetings are
usually held, and the hostess had
prepared a most excellent program
for her guests.
Those present were most agreeably
surprised when Mrs. Julia Comstock,
formerly of this city, now a resident
of Cumberland, one of the most de-
lightful singers in this section of
the state, was announced TO open
the evenings program. She sang
two very beautiful selections, one
entitled, "a May Morning." by
DEMO, and the other, Your Lips
Have Said You Love Me-" by Haw-
ley.
Then followed Miss Johnson's re-
port of the meeting of the State
Federation of Women's Clubs, held
last week at Waukesha, which Miss
Johnson attended as delegate of the
local Tuesday Club. She brought
back one of the most able and COM
plete reports ever offered in this
place, and one which was heard
with attentive interest by all. A
visiting club woman remarked that
the report was the best she had ever
heard.
The literary part of the program
was closed by song from Miss
Campbell, "My Love is Like Red,
Red Rose" which was rendered in
her usual pleasing manner and re-
ceived hearty applause. More songs
were called for and graciously given.
Refreshments were the next thing
in order and the rest OF the evening
was given over to a delightful social
time. The best of good cheer pre-
vailed and all present were in good
spirits and highly pleased with the
evenings enjoyment. After the re-
freshments Miss Willett was called
for and responded with two very
fine selections. Mrs. Comstock
again favored the assemb1age with
a couple of selections, "Mammy's
Lullaby Songs" by Gertrude Manly
Jones, and Spring" by Stearns.
A vote of thanks was rendered
Miss Johnson for the able and de-
lightfu1 manner in which her guests
had been entertained, and the Club
then adjourned to hold its next
meeting at the home of Mrs. Wads-
worth on Tuesday, November 8.
The social at Nels Dahlquist' S
last Friday evening was we'll attend
ed, over IS people being present,
The lucky number on the quilt was
IS. Mrs. Charles Upgren was the
winner. The proceeds from the
quilt rattle and supper were $25.75,
which sum is to be used toward pur-
chasing an organ for the Swedish
Mission church.
Prof. and Mrs. Andrew Love of
Fargo, N. D., were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. 0. w. Newcomb Monday
and Tuesday. Both were former
members of the public school fac
ulty of this city, the former as prin-
cipal and the latter as assistant.
Mrs. Newcomb was in charge of the
primary at that time. Mr., Love has
been conducting a teachers agency
at FARGO for some wears past.
