BY A. L EVANS
There are facts concerning the
city Of Wahpeton that are of gen.
eral knowledge to the people of
North Dakota. There are many
other facts with which the av-
erage citizen of this state is not
SO familiar.
For instance, handy reference
will disclose the fact that Wah-
peton is the county seat Of Rich
land county, North Dakota; that
it is located at the source Of the
Red river, about forty-flve miles
south Of Fargo, and has popu-
lation of approximately $500.
The average citizen realizes
that Wahpetn is situated in the
midst of one of the finest farm
ing communities in the state, but
he may not be so we'll informed
of the fact that as manufactur-
ing center Wahpeton's future is
already assured. Wahpetop has
cheaper electric power than any
other city in the state, and it may
be surprising to learn that Wah-
peton's street railway line pays
greater dividends than any cleo
trio line in the entire northwest.
Wahpeton offers great advantages
to the residence seeker. One
might be assured of the finest
kind Of nighbors; Wahpeton is a
city of churches, and her educa-
tional advantages are unexcelled.
The farm-seeker is informed
that the best developed land in
the state may, be found in Rich
land county; that all crops thrive
to greatest advantage; that corn
is grown more abundantly than in
most other counties in the state.
and that the success of this crop
has encouraged the raising of
much live-steek. Hegs aFs-slaips
ped out of Richland county in
great numbers, and the dairying
inductry is developing by rapid
strides.
vVahpeton's Beginning
Richville, North Dakota, the
first settlement where Wahpeton
is now located, was established
in the yea 1850, and two years
later a postoffice was established
and the settlement took the name
of Chakinkape, meaning in the
Indian language, the end of the
woods.
In the year 1874, the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba railway
reached Breckenridge, Minn., di--
rectly east Of Wahpeton, across
the river, and this represented the
end Of the Western division. The
Fourth Of July 1874, was clebra-
ted by the Inauguration of ferry
boat service over the Boise des
Sioux river, and continued under
the control and captaincy Of NJ. T.
Rich, after whom the first settle
ment was named, for five years.
At the expiration Of that time a
now bridge was built, by sub
scription, across the Bois des
Sioux, or the Wood Of the Sioux"
just above its confluence with the
waters Of the Ottertail river, that
sweeps down from the northwest,
draining the vast territory Of the
Park region Of Minnesota, the
union Of the two constituting the
famou sRed River of the North.
A few scattered log houses were
built in the year 1871, and the
year 1874 witnessed the erection
Of the first store building. Other
unpretentious structures follow
ed, including a 1922 foot build

TENDERS GO UNPUBLISHED.

New York, Dec. 9.--Coincident with
the holding Of an international exposi-
ton of safety here this week, New

lishment of bureau for the proven
ton of further speeding and reckless
driving.

MT. PLEASANT TESTS
CHEMICAL ENGINE

Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 10.--The chem
ical engine recently purchased for the
local fire department thoroughly dem
onstrated its efficiency and reliability
in extingui-hing fires at severe test
given it last evening. At the order of
the city council a huge bon fire was
built on a vacant lot on the southwest
corner of the square. After the con-
flagration had gained considerable
Roadway the department made a hurry
up run with the engine and in a very
short time the monster blaze was en-
tirely extinguished. The council and
department were thoroughly satisfied
with the result of the experiment.
