there are many OF the farmers who
are beginning to take an sintefeSt In
correct farming and especially In the
using OF up-to-date methods m corr,
cultivation, and the use Of modern
machinery. On the whole, the ont.
look is encouraging.
Tie sheridan House.
At the Sheridan house, at Wishek,
travellers can be sure Of being well
taken care or. u. g. Nlckisch Is the
proprietor, and rms d good house

j, b. Holden, owner Of the Wishek
barber shop, came to Dakota from
Minnesota nine years ago and FLED
on q homestead. later he came TO
the town and opened a barber shop,
having followed that calling In North
Dakota's sister state. He runs q good
shop. IL popular with ''the boys" n

place to get a meal for you!
Joe eender-Cream.
Joe bender is another of the live
business men Wishek is lucky TO
have. Mr. Bender Is q dealer in
cream and -four. and finds business
active in both lines. Wishek has Nd
creamery, but so much crean do the
farmers, bring in, that seven firms
maintain cream stations to get their
share Of the shipments. Looks as II
it were about time for a creamery
to make its appearance, and keep the
cash all at home.
Rev. r. Mockel, pastor of the Ger
man-Lntheran church, was n Of the
earliest to come to the neighboring
country In the interest of the church.
He held first services at o place six
teen, miles southwest of Wishek and
twelve miles north Zeeland-at q
place where twelve families settled
twenty-five years ago, when they
could have had the pick Of the en-
tire country. Ipswich, South Dakota,
was then the nearest town, the Ge<-
man-Russian farmers had few horses
and almost no machinery, and life
was pioneer and crude. At that time
the people were poor and half-clothed
but their years of saving have
made most Of them independently
"well off"
h Rev. Mockei.
Rev. Mockel was the early pastor
Of his faith at Wishek, when there
were but three acknowledgements
German Lutheran. the Congregation.
al and the German Baptist. This was
in 1902, four years after the railroad
penetrated to Braddock. a small
school was built in that year, which
was replaced in 1908 by another build,
ing costing 10000. M
Rev. Mockel is In a position to
know and understand the un-Amer1.
can population of the county. He
says they are fast taking up Ameri.
can ways and are already clamoring
for q rural mail service. Without a
doubt this will soon be, supplied.
"A typical settler Of Wishek's early
days is Frederick Springer, who after
coming In 1885 and farming nine
miles out ever since-up to SIX
months ago--has moved into town to
take life more easily. When Mr..
Springer came, he went for supplies
to ipswich, South Dakota, or to El.
lendale. Buffalo were common then.
Nj. Springer farms 1--WE quarters, has
thirty cattle and eighteen horses
Just enough to supply his own needs
in the way OF farm work and to bring
in a little money from the beef. Mr..
Springer IS not the only odr farmer
who has taken the earnings OF his
years of toll and moved into 4 com
Portable house in town to enjoy life.
The Auerbach Store.
Auerbach's Store-tAat store. 81
stores, where one may get anything
in the way Of general merchandise,
groceries, hardware, dry goods, boots
and shoes-Auerbachis is, where they
all go. The store was established in
May Of the year 1909, and is doing e
average yearly business Of $4,000
without trying. This is the best pos
sible recommendation for any store
the business It actually does.
Philip Thrum, dealer in flour anc
feed-and cream buyer as well-has
been doing business IN the town fol
three years, during which time trade
has been unexpectedly good. HI.
