glow of the dawn of Il new era in
national prosperity Behind her is the
record of thirty years of splendid
achievements. In front is The promise
OF many more years of still more
splendid achievements and progress.
In city building it has successfully
passed the period OF 'boom days" and
emerged strong, triumphant nnd hope
tul of greater things. Her career is
Just beginning. for thirty years in the
life of Il city in North Dakota is as
nothing. Devils Lake numbers her
days by years. while New York num-
bers hers by hundred years.
Devils Lake growth has been the
inevitable result of combination of
circumstances, conditions, energy and
determination. Her great evolution in
city building has not been thrust upon
her buts has been snatched by her
from the hands of life.
Devils Lake is the geographical cen
ter of IA pregnant territory i'll agricul-
tural wealth, Dcopled with strong
people of many nations, the welding
of these widely varying characteriS-
tics has brought forth Il peopl" filled
with ambition. with energy with
power. Standing back of her are the
mighty compelling forces of $4,000
600 people, each of whom admit no
States can do. 1t is under this inspirl-
iion that Devils Lake. the capital city
of Ramsey county and the gateway tn
the Lake Region owes it's importance
as one Of the great railroad inland
ports of entry of the Northwest. Devils
Lake has naturally waXed strong on
the food these resources are bringing
to the city'S door. and there never
| was Il time when the future of Devils
Lake was so full Of promise. The ex-
perimental stage in city building has
passed, the froth of the boom days
has been blown off, and to-day the
city stands on a lirmer foundation
| than ever before. and is steadily eX-
! panding it's resources to keep pace
with the needs of the agricultural de-
+! velopment. The young men are at the
helm of affairs and have the loyal CO.
operation of the retired. business men
and farmers Of wealth, and with these
! combined forces working together in
unison there can be little doubt but
what Devils Lake will come into its
j own, owing to it's geographical COM
manding position and the fertility of
soil covering the Lake Region of which
