Will Stay in North Dakota Another Year—Wants Farm Here.

Hansboro, N. Dak., Dec. 18.' Publishers Republican, ~ Dear Sirs: «_; I thought I would write and let you know how we are getting along. We are doing quite well but not getting rich very fast to he in a country called a “Goldmine.” I will now tell you about the crops here this year. It was very dry all summer and the crops were nearly as poor as lasi summer. I had out 240 acres of grain «pnd harvested €l2 bushels of wheat, 508 of barley and 600 of oats. The thrashing expense was $139 and the twine bill $14.87. I gave half of the crop and the land owner furnishes the seed and pays half the thrashing. My half brought me as follows: 306 bushels of wheat $278,01. j 264 bushels of barley $177.80. 300 bushels of oats which I will feed. 180 bushels of potatoes, which I am unable to sell or even give away as there Is no market here for garden truck or poultry. I raised ISO bushels of potatoes from 5 bushels of seed and on three-fourths of an acre of ground. My crop was a fair average around here except those who raised flax, which made 10 to 12 foushels to the acre and brought $2 a bushel. I will try it one more year here and pu«. out about 275 acres next year. I farm'this amount of land with six horses. It Is a fine place to farm if there was plenty of rain, but very discouraging to see it burn up with hot wlqds and a burning sun. My brother, A. C. Anderson, had a fair crop. He had out 400 acres and harvested 3,000 bushels of wheat, 1,000 of oats and barley and 400 of flax, He done his own thrashing and had a little more rain. The rains here are local in the summer time, going in streaks and it is' far between the streaks. J am 8 miles fr6m my brother’s place, 7 miles from the town of Hansboro and 1 mile from the Canadian line. . This has been a fine winter so far. Ed Phegley hah been working for my brother and has rented his farm for next year. I am still looking tor an 80-acre farm in Jasper county, suitable for dairy purposes. I will pay half or better cash. If 1 come back I hope to sell my stock and Implements as it costs too much to ship back. There are several farms for rent kere and good buildings, also some good schools and they haul the children free. I will close, wishing you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Tear. Enclosed find $1.50 for your paper for another year. It i? tetter than a letter from home.' From your friend, OTTO ANDERSON.

Dr. Cook.

(By Bill Bat.)

I walked out the other evening And the way forthwith I took Up to the opera building To hear Frederick A. Cook, In his great and famous lecture In which with heart and soul He tells of all his troubles In a. journey to the pole; Wherein the wooly muskox, The walrus and the seal, The* polar bear and rabbit Made many a savory meal. How the ocean streams and glaciers Like rivers onward run And the paoks, the floes and icebergs Lay gleaming in the sun; That with arctic dogs and sledges They traveled day by day Until Zero minus eighty Stopped the explorers on their way. Here they pitched their camp for Winter V,. ■ Eating pemlcan and tea While the ice froze fathoms downward To the bottom of the sea. In spring 4hey resumed their journey O’er packs and crags and stones A hundred dogs lay down at night To rest their weary bones; At last they reached the axis Tired and short of breath The winds from o’er the Icefields Nearly froze them all to death. Then taking observations With the Instruments at hand 1 Tljpy found the sun was circling Twelve degrees above the land. And their shadows became no shorter Neither longer did they grow As they slowly passed around them On the ice and crusted snow. Tls the pole the doctor shouted As he seized the starry flag And here shall float this emblem , ’Til it tatters to a rag By the bitter winds of winter Which sweep the frigid zone. Here no band can remove it f Here shall lt ( wave alone But he turned like Lot’s wife in Sodom, And once more o’er plain be looked. This region, he said, in the future ‘ For the United State shall be booked. He then retraced his footsteps, 'Mid dangers thickly strewn Til at last he left the frigid And found a warmer zone. Then quickly came a message That terrified his soul, For Perry in his travels Had, found another pole. We admire Doctor Cook for the pains he took. And give credit to Perry also But which one was nearer the t**ue north pole The world will perhaps never know. j,
