c. w. TOews Writes from Texas

Courier-Democrat, Langdon, N. d.
Having left so many friends back
there in dear old North Dakota, and
not having time to write each a per-
sonal letter, / am sending this to
your paper so that its many readers
in the immediate vicinity of where we
used to live in Moscow township can
see and hear what my first impressions
are Of our new home in Texas.
While you are still snowbound in
the far north and busy poking coal
into your heaters we are busy here in
the south breaking our prairie sod
and building our fences. At the
home the windows and doors are open
during the daytime and at night
there is but the merest light indica-
tion of a frost. Meadow larks are
here by the thousand, and some of our
North Dakota ducks, geese and crane
are to be seen around spots where
water is found. You might almost
say that vegetation never quite stops
here, as at no time in the year does
it freeze with sufficient severity to
put a stop to the growth of plants,
vegetation or tree life, let alone kill
it.
Where we are located is about
four miles from the town of Little
field, which at the present time has
a population of only about three hun
dred people but is growing fast.
Our children are attending the school,
in town and the fine new high school,
now in course of construction and
nearing completion is to cost $14, 900

A History of Cavalier County

For several years the department
of history in u state university has
been making a study Of local history
in different parts of North Dakota.
Students have been working on the
history of the different localities to
which they belong and DR.. Libby, the
head of the department, has been
doing research work among the Indians
and half breeds. The Importance of
this work has become known and TIE
state federation of women's clubs at
its annual meeting at Minot suggested
the clubs of each county undertake to
write the history of their county.
The Langdon women's club has adopt
ed the suggestion and during the next
two years the ladies will collect
material and gather data for a history
of Cavalier county. The State His
torical Society will publish this
history in its records and it will even.
tually become a part of the history
of North Dakota. The woman's club
has decided to carry on its work
through committees. Three ladies
have been appointed by the clubs
president, Mrs. Geo M. Price, who
take charge of the whole plan, they
name the other committees and the
names of those composing these COM
mittees will appear in the installment
of history for next week.
DR.. Libby, who spoke at the Com.
munity Institute on the early history
of this portion of the United States
has offered the club his services in
this work. The central committee,
composed of Mesdames Mahon, Hunter
and Moran, met with DR.. Libby and
put in several hours on plans for the
work. An outline for the history of
Cavalier county has been prepared by
DR.. Libby and the work will be done
in accordance Herewith, which should
bring the record complete to the
present time.
The committee desires the support
and assistance of each pioneer family
in this county, realizing there is a
wealth Of material rapidly passing
away. The story of the pioneer be-
ing the truest history that can be
written. If the reader should know
the address of some pioneer the ladies
would be glad to have you give it to
them. If you a map one of the cid
Indian trails across your farm or
across the county your information is
valuable. During his stay here last
week, DR.. Libby was presented with
a pair of snow shoes for the historical
society by Hon. H. E. Dorval, that
were made and used by Gabriel
Dumont, Have you some relic like
this that would make a valuable pos
session in the state museum?
We have a complete file of the first
newspaper published in the county.
The Cavalier County Courier. This
paper made its first appearance on
August 25, 1884, and continues to-
day as the Courier Democrat. These
old files are a mine of information
and will be a great assistance in
writing history. The papers have
been very generous in allowing space
to the committee, enabling the fur
nishing to the reader some gleanings
from these old files. 1t is hoped that
these items may help to bring to mind
old events that will help in the work
that has been undertaken.

quoted on that day was a dollar a
