Set the Example.
Every word spoken about the lead
ing benefactor Of the town is n of
praise. He has set the example of
beauty an dnnselfishness in his resi-
dence and other property. His house
and lawn are as beautiful as any in
the cities, and quiet as extensive. He
maintains tennis courts on his lawn
which are open to the general public
at any time. and many of the towns
citizens take advantage Of this boon
in the summer evenings.

In the Wheat Territory.
Buffalo is without question one of
the prettiest places III the state in
which to live. But it has its business
side. l: is in the heart Of the wheat
territory and its elevators every year
are crowded to their full capacities
Buffalo hassaI pophlafIon Of $50. It is
close to the western linz Of Cass
county, lying just half way between
Valley City and Casselton on the main
line of the NortherntPaciffc. It Is IN
the eastern part Of the STATE, the old
est settled and where the value Of
trees is strongly realized-more Sc
than in the western part where the
first sign of a nearing town Is the tor
Of its elevators standing out against
the sky.
How Buffalo Was Named:
The town was named not after the
animals of the western prairie, but
cruel blow to romance-after Buffalo
New York. Mrs. Talcott, mother OF
Frank Talcott, warden Of the state
penitentiary, was responsible for the
name, having come fro mthat city
The first store was built in 1878. The
first elevator followed in 1880, and
five years after that the bank was
erected. The schoollouse was bull
in 1900 and vas designed to take care
of the added population since, SO thai
there is now no demand for a better
