trouble and expense to me than the
land at that time was likely to be
worth. Swamp Angel JIM came
around in few days to know what l
would take for my shanty and l sold
it to him for $50. the money to be
paid in sixty days and he hauled it
out to his claim. The Sky days soon
went by a>d the days are still going
and no pay for my shanty yet. Later
the Angel bought team from Pat
McHugh and started to do hauling
around town. When winter set in
and he was, as he thought, having
hard shedding, he started hauling hay
into Langdon from stacks that he
found in lonely places on the prairie.
His team consisted of horse and q
mule and the Angel came to the con.
clusion that they were not very good
for his line of business and struck
McHugh for a trade. Pat wanted to
know what was the matter with the
team that he sold him. The reply
was to the effect that he really had
no fault to find with them except that
anyone could track man to hell with
a team like that. Swamp Angel
JIM made failure of farming and
after about two years abandoned the
place before he got the deed for it
and it was filed on by another party.
Land which adjoins the quarter here
mentioned has since been sold for
more than $50 per acre-someindica
tion of the appreciation in value of
Cavalier county farm lands.

LOOKING BACKWARD OVER
EVENTS or Thirty YEARS
When the Hotel de Log Was Famed
Hostelry of Traveller and Lang
don Was Yet Unborn

The wonan's clubs of our county
have underway the writing of his
tory of Cavalier county in detail,
from the time of its earliest settle
ment up to the present time. and
people of the county are being asked
for stories and happenings of the
early days.
/ do not claim to be one of the very
old settlers, and on coming to the
county in August, 1885, found the
settlement extended as far west as
Range go. At the time l was one of
the firm of Stewart & Mahon, that
sold lumber in Bathgate, and had the
acquaintance of many farmers who
were then establishing homes here
and had to buy floors for their sod
shanties. l made my first trip west
through this county, coming by way
of Olga, over the old Indian trail,
which at that time was composed of
many ruts, worn deep and smooth by
the wheels of the Red river carts for
perhaps over a century previous.
Olga was already quite lively will
age with stores and shops and it's old
Hotel de Log, popular resort of
those days, and which afforded both
comfort and pleasure to the travelling
public. Around its blazing hearth the
thrill of buffalo days might still be
felt as some old timer 'recounted of
the chase. stayed over night at the
Hotel de Log and passed the evening
around the village listening to the
talk its people. One fellow sang
new song entitled, Tommy Get the
Monkey Wrench, Daddy's Hurt His
Cocoanut. Leaving Olga l found
deep worn trail running west and
north past old Mona post office, which
was located on the southwest quarter
of 2O-l62-5S, the trail leading on to
the Rockwell store on the Little
Pembina river. On this trip I was
selling threshing machines and went
west to Murdoch McKenzie's shanty,
which was somewhere near where
Hamilton Howatt now lives. l sold
a threshing machine to Mckenzie and
John Ferguson, who lived north of
Elkwood. 1t was one of the Huber
outfits and was delivered along with
the company's guarantee to these men
at Bathgate, from which place they
hauled it west between fifty and sixty
miles, and after some unsuccessful
experiments, neither being thresher
men hauled it back again to Bathgate.
How's that for an experience you
present day threshermen. believe
there was post office at MAZDA kept
by Mr.. Howatt and one at Elkwood.
The people around were comfortably
housed in log buildings. The trail
ran along the east side of the. old

home of the Eadford's which was the
largest and most bomelike place along
the trail. ] called at number of
places along the way among them
being the Davis. Fultons, and Grier-
sons and found all full of hope for
the future.
I did not return to Cavalier county
until 1887, at the time that the Ct.
Northern railroad was extended to
Langdon. 1t was on October 18th
that l arrived in Langdon and bought
lots where the old Ironclad building
now stands and made preparations to
start lumber yard. The railroad
grade was completed and the rails
were being laid along to about where
the flour mill now stands. There was
land to be filed on within three or
four miles of Langdon and new sett-
lers were coming in every day. 1t
was certainly busy time around
Lang!on that fall. A splendid crop
was harvested but no elevators with
which to handle the grain and every
bin available was put into commits
sion. Every day the railroad siding
was crowded from one end to the
other with settlers effects being un-
loaded and grain being loaded out.
Of course the old settlers were de-
lighted with the short haul. l will
not 60 into the details of that winter
though it was of interest, as I am
afraid that it would take up whole
newspaper.
About my second day in Langdon I
went to see Walker & Hodgins who
had land office and made a pre-emp.
tion filing on quarter section of land
three miles south of Langdon. l had
thirty days in which to establish
residence on this land. All fall
had busy time getting the lumber
yard started and put off building on
my claim until the time limit was
almost up, when "Jim," known as
''The Swamp Angel built me
shanty in the lumber yard, intending
to haul it out after it was built. A
few days before the time expired for
me to establish that residence the
Swamp Angel" asked me for his
wages, about $15, which gave him.
That evening, about seven O'Clock, 1
got word that my wife, who was
visiting the home of her brother, at
Toilette, in Pembina county, was
dangerously i'll and started at once
for that place, arriving at daylight
the following morning and found her
suffering from severe throat trouble.
Somewhat nervously I waited around
for two or three days until I was sure
that Mrs. Mahon was out of danger
and hurried back to Langdon, to learn
on my arrival that the aforesaid
"Swamp Angel" had gone to Grand
Forks. at once became suspicious
and had my suspicious confirmed when
on his return he told me that he had
filed homestead on my quarter on
the day when my thirty days were up.
