The Forum has been furnished q

by Stevenson Dunlop. who by the

letter vas written some time & but
it contains facts concerning the early
history Of Cass county that will be
of great interest to old timers and to
those who have come to Fargo In
latter years. The letter follows:

of these early years were not such
prosperous ones for the settlers as is
generally understood.
After the hoppers ceased to visit the
country, the crops were as a rule,
good, and sometimes excellent. There
was no side track right where Maple

east. We had to load all the grain
into cars n shipped it to A. ]. Saw

very primitive and cheap affair.
We purchased all our supplies from

as bankers for the community, as well
as supplying most of our wants. The
nrst person l called upon after coming
to the state was Clement Smith, a
Kentucky gentleman who started to

prairie in '76, When 1 visited him in
June, he was living in a tent and in

doing nicely and I could not ask for
the cattle and horse and other live
stock to be doing any better. Every
thing in that section OF the country is
simply looking magnificent and there
isn't a complaint in regard to the crops
in the whole territory. We are having
many visitors to our farm these days.
and many of them are coming from

pie being predominant, with several
from Wisconsin n one or two from
as far east as Ohio. Business all over

Thomas e. Vallancey, one of the
Stone-O Wells wholesale grocery
travellers, was a visitor to the city over
Sunday from Dickinson, and while here
paid his respects to f. w. Clark, the
pleasant manager of the local branch
house. Tom used to live in Fargo,
but has been hustling out in the vest
ern part of the state for some time and
has been making good. Dickinson is
all right" said he, but | guess 1 told
you the same thing when I was last
here. / said then that we expected to
have the best showing OF crops that
we ever had, and my words were pro-
phetic for everything is looking grand,
Notwithstanding the fact that we were
hit q hard rap by the hail. We are do
ing a good deal of building In a mild
way this season, the principal building
going up being that which will be de-
voted to Elk purposes. This is a
three story structure, the second and
third stories being for the Elks and
the ground floor for the purpose OF
renting. 1t Is going to be a magnifi :
cent structure and all of the Elks in
that section are proud Of 1t"
DIR. H. B. Huntley was at the Wal
dorf last Saturday and he stopped long
enough to say: Just a word from
my town OF Leonard. Everything is
doing nicely out that way, I thank you,
for the crops could hardly be expected
to be better, and the grain is showing
up well and the yield so far as l can
hear better than was expected. The
health of the community is excellent
and ! don't think the people out that
way have anything to complain Of"

Saturday and spent yesterday at the

the owners of the great wholesale gro
Gerry store at Aberdeen, s. D., and was
making the trip for pleasure. He
states that the roads between here
and Aberdeen, with the exception Of
some mudholes were excellent. 1--WE
took particular notice Of the crops,
said he, and ! will say that never II
my experience in the northwest did
see anything that would compare Il
this seasons production. Everything
was looking fine and all I can say Ii
that the two states. North and Soutt
Dakota, at least for once should bV
