These statements are not the state.
ments merely of some real estate pro.
moter, but are facts that can be veri-
fled by the official reports Of the
above named contests and exposition.
And the richest part of Emmons
county is that part about Hazelton.
Here the fine homes, magnificent
barns, roomy granaries, beautiful
groves, the well-bred herds and nu-
merous other signs of prosperity, are
facts that are SO much more convinc-
ing than anything that might be said
on paper that anyone interested in
the building of a home in the North
west should first make it a point to
look further into the wonderful re-
sources and development of this ter
ritory.
And with all her development
Hazelton is Just entering upon a
phase Of progress which in the
course of a tow years will undoubted-
'ly mean the making of an entirely
new section of Emmons county. The
dairy industry at this time is as yet
in its infancy, but it has already at
tanned considerable proportions in the
territory, and N doubt will become
the leading industry within a very
lew years. The farmers have already
learned the profits that are to be de-.
rived from the dairying and livestock
business, and eyeryiyear is seeing the
construction of new dairy barns and
silos, and a .keener interest in the
work Of dairying and stock-breeding.

Ting the territory and promoting
scientific farming, as the railroads
did not enter the region for some
time after. When the railroads did
build into the county men were not
slow to see and acknowledge the won
derful opportunities of the land. and
rapid settlement was the result, al
though there is yet to be had in the
country near Hazelton farm lands
equal to any that a be found IN
the state at a sufficiently low figure
to make them a splendid investment,
or good opportunities for home.mak-
ms,
The land about Hazelton is excep-
tionally rich, being OF the Williams
loan type, and well watered. The
country outlying is natted with creeks
and small streams, while along the
entire western border Of. the county
runs the Missouri river. The land is
of a rich loan, brown or chocolate in
color, varying to black in places ac-
cording to the amount OF organic
matter contained, and is of a depth
Of from ten to twenty-four inches
while the subsoil is of a calcareous
nature, retentive of moisture, but not
to the extent Of being greatly az
Ifected by an excess rains. The land
is easily cultivated, and produces
splendid yields of various crops COM
mon to this country and climate. The
North Dakota "Year Book for 1917
says Of Emmons county: "Emmons
is conceded to be n OF the best
.watered counties OF the state, the

Missouri river touching it's entire
western border, Long Lake creek
watering the northern part, Beaver
Creek the central part, while the Lit
tie Beaver, Cat Tail and smaller
creeks are to be found in other parts.
Water for domestic purposes a be
found in all parts of the county at a
depth varying from a few feet to n
hundred feet, and in all cases is pure
and wholesome.
This iclahty is most fortunately
situated and adapted to mixed or d.
versified farming, for besides her
broad expanse Of acres suitable for
grain farming, she has an area OF
broken and hilly land and valleys
near the Missouri river and along
some other creeks sufficiently large
and suited for both summer and Will
ter range for cattle. horses and sheep,
as we'll as furnishing an abundance
of hay, so that livestock Of any kind
can be raised AID fitted for market
here at a surprisingly low cost. Thus,
the Emmons county farmer is not
compelled to depend solely on grain
or stock, but may have both, as well
as dairy and poultry.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1912-10-05

the latter two making a very rapid
growth, soon furnishing ~windbreaks
to shelter stock or to protect fruit
trees and shrnbbery from the ele-
ments.'
Grain farming naturally was the
first thing taken hold Of by the peo-
pie of the country about Hazelton,
but eve that has not yet been we'll
developed when compared with what
it will be in the future When a
glance is taken back at this spot as
it was ten years ago, and an inyes.
tigation made of the present re-
sources, it is not hard to form a men
tai picture of the town ten years
hence, for with the few advantages
tle district has had in the past the
agricultural and industrial advance
ment made has been marvellous. With
the present railroad facilities, and
the amount of advertising given this
state settlement will be more sure
and rapid. The advance of the times
in North Dakota calls for peo-
pie as settlers, and more intensified
farming methods. However the same
methods OF intensified farming will
not apply to this state and to this
region that apply to the farms OF
Illinois, Indiana. aRd Ohio, any more
than the methods of those states will
apply to the more thickly settled re.
gions of eastern Pennsylvania and
New York. A man from the rural
districts of certainsparts Of New York,
who sees a pig kttened only in a
foored pen is surprised to see hogs
running in the pastures Of Indiana
and Illinois. while field of ten acres
planted in corn appears to him a

try and settled, and it took some time

II was in the year 1903 that a few
struggling people settled at a point
In Emmons county about forty miles
southeast OF Bismarck. The country
round about was OF the same general
character as that seen throughout
this section of North Dakota. The
land was rich and covered with a
good grass, and that was enough to
indicate 10 these people that this was
n good spot to stay by. Prosperity
attended the little settlement from
that time to this, and it is with a
great deal of satisfaction that the
citizens of Hazelton look back TO the
time that they first came to this point.
Practically the first building to be put
up in a place of settlement on the
plains Is an elevator. While the peo-
pie arc still living In tents the frame
work OF the elevator is being reared
like a skeleton against the sky, and
when the harvest time comes the ele-
vator stands ready to receive the
grain. So 1t was at Hazelton, and
when the grain came In two large
elevators stood ready to take care OF
II. 1t was a community of h~aryests,
and Is still keeping the record. In
less than four years the town had
increased in population more than
four hundred per cent.
Then came the establishment OF a
bank to handle the finances Of the
people. The Bank of Hazalton was
established with n capital Of five
thousand dollars. with c. b. Little OF
Bismarck as president, and s. NJ. Pye
as cashier. Later there was organ
lied the Farmers State bank, so that
at the present time the town has am

or intention to accept any of this
American bounty. saying that they do
not need it. In saying this. they also
show that they are able 10 take care

either, that Dickens left an estate of
nearly 100000, of which he made

On both accounts, therefore, Amer.

fairly ask to be excused from char
