Otto Anderson Drops Us a Few Lines From North Dakota.

Otto Anderson, who recently moved from the Porter farm to North Dakota, writes as follows from Hansboro: “I arrived here at 12 o’clock today, the 16th, all O. K. 1 did not get started from Ade on Tuesday as I had expected, on account of the bad roads, but started Wednesday, March 9th. I made slow time until after reaching St. Paul, where I was kept for about a day, and after that I made good time. In regard to the inspection of horses I will say that what I had done was all right but I could have saved the $2 on the inspection of each horse, as the government keeps veterinaries for that purpose at St. Paul and the horses are inspected free of charge. So if any more of my friends ship to the northwest, they may save their $2. The yards were so full this trip that it was impossible to get stock unloaded unless the inspector claimed that they were suffering and had to unload for that reason. “The weather is fine out here and I saw one man seeding wheat today between Devils Lake and Hansboro. I have not decided what to do yet, but will let you know more in the future.”
