NORTH DAKOTA LETTER.

• Cavalier, N.. D., June 28. Editor Jasper Co. Democrat. Dear Sir:—As we see so many letters in your paper from North Dakota, we thought we would also send a few lines. We like our new home and are glad we came here. Have always had the Dakota fever, but never saw any other part of Dakota that suited me as well as here, as we have timber here which I didn’t find in other parts of this state, and the land here is the very best. Wish our friends back east could see the crops here now, which are wheat, oats and barley, and nearly every farmer has planted some corn and it looks fine. Have good pastures which are mostly timothy and clover. Cavalier has a good creamery and most all farmers sell cream. There is all kinds of small fruit. We have good schools, rural free delivery, and fine graded roads.I am only farming one quarter this year, running one four horse team. Have 100 acres of wheat, 2? acres of oats, 20 acres of barley and five acres of corn. Mr. Brusnahan of Hamilton, formerly of Parr, Ind., visited us a week ago Sunday. Tom only has in a five hundred acre crop. .Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Davisson came over in their auto Sunday, and we all went to the Pembina mountains, which are about twenty miles distant. As there is always some land buyers coming from old Jasper to deal with Harvey “Davisson, the hustling real estate dealer of Hamilton, No. Dak., we would be pleased at any time to ha\«2 any of them come and see us when out here. With best wishes to all old friends and the Jasper County Democrat, I remain, Yours respectfully,

Joseph Grube.
