It is heavily over- grown with forest of all kinds and is especially noted for its timber pro- ductions. Much of it isan evergreen country and we are surrounded by green trees the year around. Balsam is perhaps the most numerous of trees, then come poplar, spruce, tamarack, pine and many other varieties. Logging operations are continued the year around, and in winter assume large proportions, em- ploying hundreds of men at good wages. Money is plentiful and em- ployment can be had at almost any time. “After the timber, the soil is per- haps a field wherein we can make our biggest brag without bragging. We have nearly every variety of soil. If you are looking for a sandy soll, it is here: if you are looking fora clay soil, here it is; if you are looking for alimey soil, you will find it here; if you seek a loamy soil, it is bere: if you are looking for a field of rocks, here it is; if you want a fleld of the vichest. black loam, you will not be disappointed. In fact settlers are assured entire satisfaction Mere pro- viding they take the little time and trouble required in looking around a little for themselves. “During favorable seasons, the soil will produce almost any kind of pro- duct, but Some of these are not a suc- cess. Grain and vegetables are a great sucess; they abound and yield heavily each season. There are fine prospects in this section for hay and grain, and these two products will, doubtlessly, constitute the wealth of the country inthefuture. Certain tempts to alight upon our head and coerce us into belching forth unprint- able epithets. Gosh———--, there’s another! sane CEES: Bryan, the Marvel. Now comes the marvel.

Mr. Hamilton is a political eight-footer and is already as good as elected. Let the other northern districts stand Mr. Hamil- ton as an example of what’s wanted and the northern section of the state will be sure of getting everything that is coming to it, and possibly a ttle more. Mesava Ore. Had a Pipe Dream. ' 1e local correspondent of the Du- News Tribune is guilty of the wiby: GRAND RAPIDS, July 12.—D. C. Mcintosh, who was incarcerated in the village jaii about a month ago to serve a term of 90 days for jumping a large sized board bil!, grew tired of waiting for bis term to end, and es- caped from jail this morning. He tiled the bars from the window of his ell with a steel instrument, which he obtained in some mysterious man- er and when the jailor went to give the man his breakfast he found he was not “at home.” It is believed that the man has friends, who are aiding him to escape the arm of the law. \ This is a pipe dream pure and simple. McIntosh was brought be- fore Judge Baily and dismissed witha warning to get out of town and stay and could probably be found at or kinds of stock will, without a ques- tion, also be a success and a matter of great importance to the farmer in time to come. “Another of our natural resources is wild fruit. These grow abundant- ly, and in favorable seasons the country is full of fruit. Most of this fruit goes to waste, as but a very small part of it cam be gathered by the settlers. I haye seen plum trees so heavily loaded that the branches hung to the ground, and last fall I gathered seven quarts from one of these trees. Blueberries, raspberries and strawberries, grow in nearly every clearing, but usually go to rot for want of pickers. Highbush cran- berries, marsh cranberries, June berries, dew berries, cherries and a few other fruits are also plentiful. To much cannot be said of this country 1u regard to the successful growth of the smaller fruits. The soil and. climate seems ty be very favorable to them, and the settlers are always well supplied during the fruit season. That is one reason why we are justly proud of the Bigfork valley. a “The wild game attraction is an- other great factor in making the Big- fork vailey a popular place. It is the best country in the states today for a downright good hunt in the “wilds.” The land is but thinly set- tled, and many square miles are a perfect wilderness where small game abound and where the larger game roam with great freedom. Deer are numerous, moose, bear and wolves are still to be found, altho rapidly disappearing. Many kinds of fur- bearing animals are also prevalent, such as, lynx fisher, mink, muskrat, weasel, wildcat, etc. Marten and beaver are about extinct. “The bBigford valley is a hunters paradise. It has every varity of scenrey and every variety of hunting grounds. The Bigfork river flows through the center of the country, and a row up or down its winding course is an experience never to be forgotten. The country has many lakes and numerous creeks along which the deer and moose love to roam, The hunter equally enjoys to pursue the big game along their well trodden trails near these waters. and it is in the neighbood of these. ifany- where, that the hunter finds real sport. Many hay meadows are scat- tered throughout the Bigfork valley, and here in the hot summer days you can see the deer and moose at the noon hour, either lying down or walk- near his home at the present time in Fargo, N. D. THE FERTILE BIG FORK VALLEY How it Looks to a Man Who Makes His Living There. In writing to a friend about the natural resources of the Big Fork country, F. L. Denler of Big Fork says: “The first thing a man will ask when determining upon a suitable location is, ‘what are the natural resources of the country? What are the qualities and appearance of its soil and vegetation? What are the general characteristics of the land in regard to highlands, lowlands; ‘lakes, swamps and meadows? Whatis the location in regard to market facilities and general transportation advant- ages?’ All these and many more are asked, and such is the information ing slowly up and down in the waters of the creeks. Sometimes you see them scooting from one side to the other. “Tf you are looking for recreation and a fine country for hunting and fishing, come to the Bigfork valley. It is just the place for a pleasure trip, and if properly carried out, a party can have an excellent time. There is any amount of hunting grounds, giving the huater a wide field and lots of room. There are no signs that read, ‘‘keep off the grass,” nor are you forbidden to hollo, shout, shoot, kick up your heals and enjoy yourself in any manner you may hap- pen to think of. You are allowed perfect freedom, and as long as you do not shoot yourself or anyone else. you will not be molested. “ands are cheap here now, but are sure to rise in the near future, and persons looking for a good loca- tion, one having fine prospects for the future, are cordially invited to call upon the Bigfork valley. the settler seeks for when determin-| I.
