Will Yeiter Writes About North Dakota Impressions.

Hamilton, N. D., April 10, 1911. Editor Republican: » Through the columns of vbur valuable paper we wjsh to let our friends and neighbors know that we are ssettled in our far away Dakota home and like the country fine. It certainly is a pretty to live. We are enjoying Jhe - besC of health, and with such pretty bright days and pure air, X don’t see how any one could he otherwise. Our car of stock and goods ■stood the trip did Mr. Murray’s. We w'ere BV2 days on the road, but was delayed by the agent sending us over the C. B. & Q. road, on which account we were held in Chicago for 48 hours and it cpst us $S per day for horse inspection. If we had been sent as we should have been our inspection would have been at St. Paul and would have cost us nothing. If any one wants to go west keep off that road, as they will make your pocket book suffer. Our car got two flat wheels and we were bothered to get new trucks under our car. We were laid over and spent our Sunday in St. Paul. In Grand Forks we laid over on account of the train not making connections. Taking our’trip ih general, however, we had fine weather and got along better than we expected. The family got -through a few days sooner than the ear and was met at the train by a neighbor and taken to his house for dinner and then to Mr. Davisson's home, where they spent a very enjoyable time till the ear arrived. Things were then all moved to their home, which is only one mile from Hamilton. We were met at the car by neighbors with their teams aajd soorj were moved out to our house. The sledding was fine when we came, but did not last long, as the weather .Was and has been warm, except a few days. The fanners have not done much yet in the field, but will be busy in a few days. It is claimed here that the ground is so strong and crops mature so quick that there is no need for early w’ork. Our springs are some later here than in Indiana, but not so very much. We are.pretty well stocked up with live stock and machinery. Have been to three public sales. Two were fifteen miles away, and everything £old exceedingly well. Horses, machinery and vehicles and mpst everything except flour is higher than in Indiana. We have fine roads here, level and smooth and a team can travel fifteen miles here easier than they can six or eight back in Indiana, the air is so much purer. Murray’s and our car cost us $154 together. It was a very large car. Oar advice to any one who is thinking of buying land is to come to some of their old neighbors or friends, because they wilt save money by it. Wishing you all an abundant crop, and good health, we remain, Yours Truly,

Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Yeiter.
