THIS YEARS CROPS
AND THE HIGH
COST OF LIVING

The crusaders in public and pri-
vate life against high food prices
Will be relieved to some extent If
the present outlook for the coun-
try's harvests is borne out by the
actual results. This IS the opinion
OF Secretary Wilson of the depart
ment of agriculture. Beef will be
cheaper than II has been for
number OF years" says the secre-
tary. THE best beef is fed on
corn, but with that cereal so scarce
in the last year that 1t scared to 70
cents a bushel many cattle raisers
felt that they could not feed their
cattle for Strengthening purposes on
corn and get their money back.
The result was that little good
quality beef entered Chicago and
prices rose" The estimates con-
tained in last weeks government
grain report show that the advan-
tage this year will lie with the con-
sumner rather than with the produc-
er. The December price of corn at
Chicago as of August was s
cents, or IL per cent less than in
1911, so that although the crop Is
2SO.0o0,0o0 bushels larger it will be
worth less by about 100000
Similarly on the same basis of COM
parison there is decline In the
price of wheat Of 4ss cents, or
about s per cent, and In oats of
11h cents. or rs per cent

1891 made several trips to Fort Abb
ercrombie where the village of Aber-
crombie now is, so when 1 came to
the Red river valley on July Is, 1871
I was not an entire stranger to the
conditions that prevailed here at that
time.
II came alone with a pair of horses,
covered wagon and tent, driving from
st. Cloud, Mimi, to what is now Fargo.
The first persons I met were Jacob
Lowell and Henry S. Black. / met
them about two miles south of where
Moorhead is now, and they directed
me t. a ferry neal where the new fl
tration plant now stands. This ferry
was so small we had to cross the
horses first and then the wagon after
wards.
when + got to the west side OF
the river the first thing that attract
ed my attention was a tent and a
man sitting in the shade playing a
waltz on a violin. Soon a woman
came out and waltzed to the June he
was playing. This was Capt. George
Egbert and wife. AS l got on higher
ground / saw a little north and west
a board house near the slough. This
belonged to Henry Fuller and was the
first board house built in Fargo. In

being the first white woman who lived
in Fargo. / drove to where they were
camped and camped with them.
1.-TWO months prior to this, on May
~, 1871, the first settlement of Fargo
was made by a party of Scandinavians
from Goodhue county, Mimi, who
had crossed the Red river at George
town, Mimi, and come up to the west
side of the river and settled just north
Of Fargo and south of where Peter P.
Goodman and Jacob P. Metzger settled
in December, 1870. They consisted of
young men bachelors and a few mar
ried men. All their wives were left
behind at Fergus Falls, that being the
nearest white settlement.
"These parties We're nearly all
bought out by the Puget Sound Co,
Ole Jansen Lee, Lars Martin, the John
son brothers and one or two others
remaining. Ole Hanson settled where
James Holes now lives, but on the
river. Mr.. Peterson settled j n Oak
Grove. Mr.. Johnson settled where the
Washington school now stands. An
other Mr.. Johnson, father of the above,
claimed the quarter section where the
p~ostofIice now stands. There was an
other settler in the northeast part Of
) the city who built a log cabin near the
| lagoon or old river bed. At that house
the directors Of the Northern Pacific
railroad were entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. Andrew Holes on several
occasions.
South of Fargo Ole Jansen Lee, Ole
Matherson, Lars Martin, Easton and
Jens Johnson, brothers, settled.
"This constitutes all or nearly all of
the colony that settled here May II,
1871. These people constructed prim-
tive cabins of logs with bark roofs,
the bark being covered with sod made
a cool roof in summer and a warm roof
in winter. None of these houses had
either doors or windows; such lux
uries were not yet INDUCED in.
About July / other settlers began
to arrive. Andrew McHench and wife.
Henry Fuller, whose wife was at that
time in the state Of Maine, Charles
Roberts and wife, Jacob Lowell, Henry
S. Back, James Holes, and others.
1.-THE country was entirely wild.
Countless millions of grasshoppers
swarmed everywhere. The woods were
full of great owls and prairie wolves
were %sneaking around the prairies. The
hooting of owls and barking wolves
broke the monotony of the nights.
The mosquitoes in summer and bli2-
yards in winter did much to make life
miserable, but notwithstanding, we
managed to get enough out of life SO
