NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

Lisbon, No. Dak., Jan. 25, ’O7. Editor Democrat:— Having now got settled op, a farm 5 miles east of Lisbon, we miss The Jasper County Dem-

ocrat very much, and would be pleased to have you forward it to Lisbon. We are having a pretty hard winter here. January 19th we had the worst blizzard I ever saw. There has been three or four before this one, but this beats them all. It would beat one in the face whichever way you went. But, to leave the blizzard out, the winter is not to be dreaded at all. Our well is about 125 yards from the house, and I have carried water from there in iny shirt sleeves the most of the time. The snow is deep, bandked up to the eaves of our barn on two sides. The cars are running on the triweekly plan—go one way one week and try to get back the next. They are snow bound the most of the time on this branch of the Northern Pacific railroad. I have rented a large farm and will put out 300 acres of wheat and 100 acres of oats. Hoping to receive your valuable paper, I remain. Yours truly,

HENTRY SNOW.
