Thompson, Wm. strceter, S. W. Pierson and D. G. Thompson went to Mouse river to look up a location for a ferry across that stream. There is quite a settlement on the west side of the river, and the people there would like to come hero to do their trading, but there is no way to cross tho river. If the county will supply a ferry boat, it would be a good scheme for somebody to take a claim on the river, put up a "stopping place," and attend to the ferry. This would induce many more settlers to go in there, and would be a good thing for the county as well as this town. The party went by the way of R. B. Scott's ranch, and they all agree in saying*that the land west of here to the ri7er is a) guol as can be found in Dakota. They struck the river about the south line of township 162 then turned down river and camped the first night about half way across the town ship, range 79. Next day they found what is known as the old half-breed crossing, on the line between townships 162 and 163 They also found there the stakes marking the claims which Sam Greiner and Jacob Ilearonemus had located a few days pre vious. The river is near the east side of the bottom land, and the prairie slopes gently to the water's edge. The river at this point is about 300 feet wide and 3 feet deep. On the western shore is a hay meadow some three-quarters of a mile wide, and the high prairie can be reached by a ravine, which furnishes a very easy grade for a road. From this point to the boundary line is a succession of hay meadows, the river valley being on an average about a mile wide. per's.

McGinnis, arrived by special train last Friday evening at about 6 p. m. and made a stay of 45 minutes. They were driven in carriages up to Dana's hill, and after returning and looking over the stock and grain which the farmers had brought in to exhibit, the Rev. Ezra Turner made a speech of welcome on behalf of the citizcns of Bottineau, in which he gave a short sketch of the early settlement of Bottineau county and contrasted it with the present condition of the county. The Hon. Norman J. Colman, U." S, Com missioner of Agriculture, was next intro duced by the genial McGinnis, and in a neat little- speech to ik occasion to compliment the farmers on their fine display of stock, which he said was the best he had seen since leaving St. Paul. He also spoke in glowing terms of the appearance of this country, and emphatically declared that no part of the United States has brighter prospects than the Northwest, and especially North Dakota. Mr. Colman was followed by G. A. Mar tin, of the American Agriculturist, New York C. D. Colman, Colman's Rural World, St. Louis G. W. Hill, The Farmer, St. Paul and W. II.

Railway, and was in charge of D. R. Mc Ginnis, private secretary to Mr. Warren, and w€ want to say right here that a better man could not .have been selected for the position. Too much credit cannot be given Mr. Warren for planning this excursion, for if these gentlemen, who represent the leading farm journals of the United States, and who are all close observers, will only *ive their impressions of this country, rough their different papers, an incalculable amount of advertising will be given to Da kota. Most of the gentlemen composing the party had never been in the Northwest be fore and were surprised and delighted with what they saw. The excursionists had been out ten days, had been up to Winnipeg and out as far west as Helena, and were then on their re turn trip, having traveled nearly 4,000 miles since leaving St. Paul.
