A little less than three years &
the site where Powers Lake is now
situated was a waving field of grain.
The pioneers erected their first homes
and places Of business among the
shocks Of that beautiful field, and used
the bundles of grain after the days
work was completed upon which to
res their weary heads. Thus the town
sprung up during the late summer
days of 1909 on the banks of that
beautiful Powers Lake, The spot had
been selected by nature ages ago. The
great Indian tribes used this identical
place for an Indian vilIege, there be-
ing at the present time ample evil
dence to warrant this conclusion. In
stead of their birch bark canoes with
which they rode the waves the citizens
now enjoy the comforts of up-to-date
gasoline launches and sailing boats Of
every description. The lake before long
will be a famous summer resort and
will be frequented by citizens from all
towns in northwestern North Dakota
The transformation has been very
rapid and the work of the pioneers
cannot be praised too highly.
The town was laid out systematical-
Sy from the start and thanks be to
those that had ingenuity and foresight
enough to realize the advantages OF
this. To those that are there now this
