this year and many farmers have
made Il success of raising fruit.
Beyond Ashley along the Pollock
line is the town of Ventura, witt
two good stores and a substantial
bank managed by State Senator Pau
K%retschmar. This town has JUS
been Incorporated and Senator Kret
sclimar is the village clerk. He has
been an important factor in the af
fair of Mcintosh county for, q great
many years, and for several trems
was county auditor. In connection
with present state politics Mr.. Kret
schmar is frequently mentioned as
possible candidate for state auditor
though his term as state scantol
does not expire for two years.
Across the line over in South Da
kota is found two lively and thriving
ceutcrs in Artus and Herreid. Artas
has several enterprising business
concerns, among which is the Artas
State bank, managed by Cashier N
$, Scllirber, whose bank has footings
now Of over $4,000. Herreid has
grown rapidly in "a few years and TO-
day nearly all of it's business houses
are built of BRICK. There are two
banks in this / WI, the State Bank
Of iIerreid and the Farmers and
Merchants bank. Both of these banks
have large deposits and the absolute
confidence of the people of that com
munity. n. J. Schirber is the cash
Ter Of the state Bank of Herried and
O. a. Olson is the cashier Of the
Farmers and Merchants State bank.
Both gentlemen have helped greatly
towards the development of thei'
home town and lave a high standing
among their loyal people.
Returning back into North Dakota
the town of ICELAND is found on tn,
Milwaukee line running into Linton.
This. town has recently suffered u
serious fire, but new and better
buildings will soon appear over the
ashes. One of the buildings con.
sumed vas the iceland State bank
with Cash Hammond, John Geidt and
John Bischef as the directors. Mr..
Biscllef is the cashier and manager,
and he is assisted by Mr.. Geidt's
son. This bank has a capital of $780,
600 and a surplus of $4,000. elm spite
of being wiped out by fire this bank
will soon be situated in a $4,000
brick building. Another bank is
about to be established in ICELAND
of which John II Wisllek will be at
the head.
Another prosperous town on this
line to Linton is the town of Stras-
burg. Thrifty and strudy Germans
have developed this section Of En-
mons, county and made Strasburg
an important trading point. Located
at S%trasburg is one of the largest
churches in the state. This is a
German Catholic church and was
built at a cost of $4,000. Many Of
the business buildings are built OF
brick, and this summer the business
section is being intersected with
cement walks and crossings of al
permanent nature. In the vicinity of
Strasburg, especially in the west and
south, are located many farmers
who are Hollanders and who have
made a great success of their efforts. |
Fine fields of grain the results of
their labors this year. This section
has also engaged largely in the dairy
industry, and as a consequence are
found fine silo S at nearly every
farm. Many of the farmers in this
section still have from 5000 to ~
600 bushels of wheat in their gran
left over from last year. The
wheat there will yield this year in
the neighborhoOd Of twenty bushels
to the acre and is all of the highest
grade. Fine farm buildings can be
seen in every direction and as you
pass through this part of Enmons
county you would almost imagine ;
you were in some farming country as
old and as well developed as Iowa.
North of Strasburg is Linton, the
county seat Of Emmoss county. with
a population closcfto 800, and a town
that has three big banks and many
enterprising business concerns.
Many of the buildings of this town
arc. constructed of stone, which are
filled with merchandise for the fall
trade. Stock raising is engaged in
largely in this section, though most
of the farmers have raised a big crop
OF grain this year that they have
just commenced threshing. Located
at Linton is Editor d. r. Streeter,
the pioneer editor of the county, |
who still publishes the Emmons
County Record. Mr.. Streeter has
demonstrated what can be done in
Emmons county as to what can be
done in raising fruit, and at the rear
of his printing Office is as fue an
apple orchard as can be found in any !
OF the southern or. western fruit
states. Streeter has some fine spec
linens saved which he will have on
display at the tate exposition this
fall. .' .''"f 45A2
%Hazelton north of Linton is an
other thriving town. This town is
Hazelton and has more enterprising !
people for it's size than many towns
in the state and the substantial ap-
pearance Of the little city is evidence
Of what loyalty means to any CON
munity. There are two banks iii
this town, one of which H. o. Batter
is cashier and George Lenlart is
cashier of the other. A good crop of
grain is abundant in that part of En-
mons county and the people are feel
ing highly pleased with prospects
for this fall. AS you pass IN into
Bismarck good crops are found
everywhere and conditions are most
encouraging.
