Fine Hotels.

In order to accommodate the trav-
cling public a large number of whom
stop off at New Salem at frequent in
tervals, good hotels are essential and
are perhaps as much of an advertise
ment for city, good or bad, as any
other manner of establishment. This
slope metropolis is not behind the
times in this respect and has two
splendid hotels, the Clifton House,
which has been in existence since 1903,
and the Metropolitan hotel, which was
established in 1904. Both of these
hostelries are we'll known to the boys
on the road as being >wo of the neat
est and best hotels along the line.
Leading Industries.
While New Salem Is more than
blessed with good stores, hotels, bust

which are usually found in any thriv-

and organizations located there which
have made the name of New Salem
alone known far and wide.

The First coIonists.
New Salem was founded in 1884
by the German Evangelical Colonial
ton company, which comprised rugged
German citizens of Chicago who de-
sired to secure homesteads bordering
on the Northern Pacific railway in the
western section of what was then
Dakota territory. The first party of
colonists which reached the present
site of the city was composed Of such
as John Seethoff, Henry Mann, Peter

thering the development of the dairy
industry on the slope and the breed
ing of type of Holstein cattle capable
of meeting all of the conditions of the
Northwest.
Interest in pure bred cattle was first
aroused when D. M. Young, who start
ed the creamery at Youngstown, went
to Wisconsin some years ago and pur-
chased car load of Holstein cattle
and tributed them among the farmers
within radius of 80 miles. The gov
eminent and state officials determined
to do all in their power to help main
tain the interest in the possession of
pure bred stock and were instrumental
in the organization of the Holstein
breeders circuit association.

Incorporation as a Village.
In 1900 the citizens of New Salem
decided that they would incorporate
into village. At the time of their
incorporation the population of the
village was about $50. The village
organized was perfected and village
