The decade just passed shows a mar
velous development in the territory
west of the Mississippi river and Lake
Superior. Duluth, so satirized by Proc
tor Knott, has become the city he did
not dream of, while its neighbor across
the harbor— West Superior— is making
strides as a rival community. The
Piegan Indians are "Knott" drivineany
more buffalos into corrals at Duluth,
but instead mighty elevators are deliv
ering wheat during the season to steam
ships for Eastern ami old world cities.
while sailing vessels bear away the
products of the vast forests and quarries
of Minnesota.
It is 1,000 miles from Lake Superior
to the Rocky mountains, across a region
of diveisiti'ed resources. New states
are unfolding along this line and be
>ond; the Dakotas, Montana. Idaho and
Washington, the newest .star., in the
nation's crown, each bidding fair to be
come populous, rich and powerful.
Under the stimulus of steam, elec
tricity, industry and capital, the devel
opment during the coining years will be
great. It is the last largo area in the
republic where virgin prairies of agri
cultural value can be found, where for
ests are undisturbed, where pasture
lands are uncropped, where veins of
cold, silver. (Hipper, iron and gold are
hidden away in a thousand hills. The
railroads are out in advance of settle
ment. The map of this region begins to
look like a spider's web"— the strands
radiating from St. Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and West Superior. The rail
road that seems to have th;* most in
view, or is doing the most, is the Great
Northern, formerly known as th"
"•Manitoba," now engaged in building
an extension to the Pacific coast,
which will be 200 miles the short
est across the continent, connect
ing the Mississippi river. Lake Superior
and Puget sound, and linking the waters
of the Occident and Orient by the only
direct line possible to be constructed.
The Great Northern is not only the
principal line in Minnesota and North
Dakota, but has three branches in South
Dakota, and with branch lints under
way in Montana, will soon irive it first
place in that state. From Groat Falls it
lias finished two branches Into the
famous Belt mountain mining region, to

Montana takes rank as the largest pro
ducer of precious metals of any state in
the Union, not only making the greatest
net output, but it pays more dividends
on mining stocks than all other stales
combined, iiutte has the reputation.
and justly, too, of being the
greatest mining canm on earth.
It is a Vulcan; noisy and grimy;
sinokini:, pounding, Bteamiiig. digging,
tunneling; no let up for nights ami Sun
days. Miners work in eiirht-honr shifts;
streets glare with electric Hglrt from
twilight to daylight; underneath the
homes and streets of the city tunnels
honeycomb the veins of copper, silver
and gold. Montana has two other won
derful places: Helena, the capital and
queen of the mountains, richest city per
capita in the country, and last, but not
least. Great Falls, a city of the plains,
seated by the greatest available water
power on the continent and seemingly
conscious of her vantage erouud. To the
ra-t and north are vast Rtock ranees; to
the south and west rise hills and moun
tains filled with precious metals, the
development of which, without eonsid
•■rinir tlie many other resources of the
surrounding country, must make the
City of the Kalis one of she most im
portant in ilie Northwest.
A trip to Montana over the Great
Northern is one of the most attractive
in the West. From St. Paul the tourist
takes the four-track route to Minneap
olis. ' Crossing the Mississippi on a null
ion dollar stone -arch bridge, in lull view
of 1 1 it- Falls of St. Anthony and the
largest flouring mills in the world,

goinc thence through the Park region
of Minnesota, with its myriad hikes, to
the wheat valley of the lied river, to

Siu-iiiK Wheat Country,
The center of the spring wheat dis

: year •was over 2,000,000. acres,,the ay

bushels to the acre. This is exclusive
of large yields of oats, barley, rye. flax,
etc. When good yields and trood prices
combine, wheat tanning is the. .most

gives to the Red river valley. Not more
than one-third of the available farm
land in this fertile region is under culti
vation. No new part of the country
offers more for newcomers, and none
possesses better social privileges and
market facilities. The Great Northern
lias three parallel lines through the val
ley already, as shown by the map here
with, and farmers have" elevators, main
warehouses' and trading places near at
hand and on every side.
The "profitable character of grain
fanning is apparent when we say that
instances are numerous this year where
men not only earned all their farms
cost, but also the value of machinery,
teams and improvement*. It must not
be understood in speaking of Minnesota
as a leading producer of wheat that
grain growing is the sole industry of
the state. On the contrary; there are
the finest forests of hardwood and pine
timber in the country; there are water
Dowers without number and quarries of
granite and mines of silver, copper and
iron, together witn a splendid climate.
It has water ways in two directions to
the sea. As it already takes high rank
in dairy products it expects to do some
thing in the way of making sugar and
linen, as rl.tx and sugar beets grow here
to perfection. It has the largest water
surface of any state in thy Union, di
vided into hundreds of pretty lakes to
which summer visitors from all parts of
the world come in Increased numbers

1877: had a little money, and a carload
of horses. ] now own I,2SJ acres of
land, divided into eight Farms, each pro

went as high on some pieces as thirty

besides oats, etc."
L. Wright, of Thompson, Grand Forks

plenty of stock and machinery. Wheat
has averaged twenty bushels to the acre
all the time I have been here. I can
freely advise my friends tr, conic here,
and, if they mind their farms, cannot
only make a living, but money. Most
of my neighbors started with little or
nothing, and are now well fixed."

ings for my family, stock, machinery
and grain. My wheat this year
amounted to 4,480 bushels, oats," 800
bushels; barley, 1,100 bushels. I do
not think a poor man can do better in
any other part of the world. Certain it
is 1 like the Red river valley."
Leslie Scott, of Reynolds, Grand
Forts county, N. 1)., says: "1
came here in 1879 from Bangor, Mich.,
as a hired man without means, ami
worked out a year at $25 a month and

last two seasons I have rented my land.
The crop this year amounted to 10,000
bushels of wheat, out of which I get
about 16,000 worth. There has never

The watermelon days have gone.
Green apples are no more.
And peaches ripe no longer grip*

The ginger bottle's put away,
And mother can now rest;
Her little son no longer has
That pain beneath his vest.
Thanksgiving day is almost cone.
And peace reigns overhead;
And mother's joy— her own sweet boy,
Is trundled off to bed.
Yet what are those unearthly sounds
Tnat pierce the midnight air?
And wnat's that throbbing noise we hear
Come rumbling down the stair?
It is our little household pet.
Who tosses up on his;h.
And wages an unequal fight
With turkey and "mince pie.
