(Too Late For Last Week.)
Olga is a Cavalier county town, with a
radius of marketing area of not less than
ten miles on every side and extending
into Pembina county on the east. In
addition to possessing the richest and
best producing farm lands in either
Cavalier or Pembina counties, Olga has
at its very door valuable timber lands,
undeveloped cement and clay deposits,
that only await the investment Of capital.
Olga was the first town established in
Cavalier county, dating back as it does
to 1882.
1t is we'll provided with all kinds of
business places which include two large
general stores, one drug store, a first
class hotel and feed stable, two good
blacksmith shops,a meat market,a newly
established bank together with good
schools, churches, public buildings and
fine homes, making an ideal and
picturesque spot in which to enjoy life.
All kinds of small fruits as we'll AS
apples are doing we'll in this locality and
many of the farmers are having good
success with bees.
1t has been honestly said that there is
no better land to be found in the whole
state than the land which lays on all
sides of this thriving little town and it
is only a question of a very few years
when land in this locality will reach the
highest price of any land in this
country. Driving through the country
this time of the year is like driving
through a garden with the beautiful
foliage surrounding one on all sides and
with the beautiful green fields of grain
OF every hand.
The two great railroads of this sections
the Great Northern and the 500, both
have their eyes on this. region and ere
the summer is over, there is not a
question of doubt but what there will
be one and perhaps two railroads throw
ing dirt through this section, the goal
being to reach through this vast rich
sections to the boundary.
One of the prominent officials of the
Great Northern has been driving over
the country during the past week to
determine on tho most feasible route to
be taken SO as to give the best of service
to the whole country and rumor has
come that the 500 representatives are
all busy.
The little town of Mowbray, which
sprung up last fall just northwest of
here on the boundary and aspur fromC.
P. R. in Canada has done a good deal
to open the ayes Of the railroads to this
section. During the past fall and
winter there has been shipped out of
this little town through one elevator in
the neighborhood of three hundred
thousand bushels of grain and it is now
rumored that another spur will be
extended over the line at Windy Gate
for this falls trade and these two points
without opposition from the lines now
contemplating the e%xtention of. their
lines Dorthward, would undoubtedly
market over fifty thousand bushels of
grain from this section of the county
and northward which means the loss of
about forty thousand dollars to the
lines that have formerly controlled
this section. Thus we see why Hills
line and the 500 are both so anxious to
get their lines extended into this
section.
AS soon as the road enters Olga there
will be great improvements made in the
town in the line of new buildings and
enterprises. The First State Bank OF
Olga, organized less than a year ago has
now worked up a good steady business
and this concern will erect a good build
ing as Don as the road is assured. ME-
j. B. Beauchamp already has a large
and we'll arranged store which compares
we'll with any store in the state, but he
will also enlarge his place of business as
will also Messrs Brusseau, & Moog and
Philip Brusseau, our jovial landlord
contemplates erecting an up-to-date
hotel also when the time arrives.
