BEN. BLMCHABD'S
EXCURSION TO DAKOTA.
LETTER FROM ONE OF PARTY.
Closely following the memorable Kansas trip, came the projected exoursion into "the land of the Dakotas" and very unexpectedly the writer became one of the gay and happy party who left Terre Haute on the morning of the 2d of July in the fine excursion car. "Charles L. Pratt," belonging to the Worceeter Co., luxuriously furnished with every accessory contributing to creature comfort even to electric bells and an upright piano. And the menu! it would have been creditable to the Palmer House. Arriving at St. Paul and Minneapolis, we contemplated for a few hours the wonderful growth and charming surroundings of these great inland cities with a popolation of nearly a quarter of a million. At this point we entered upon the great system of the Northern Pacific railroad, upon which-we were continually reminded of its solid character and intelligent management. The prosperous towns and well cultivat ed farms of Minnesota, with its numerous lovely lakes, spsrkling amid their green environments, were themes fr constant admiration and delight. Our sojourn for a few days at Detroit Lake, in Becker Co., gave opportunities for sailing, splendid fishing, shooting deer, bear and elk, and a ride to a reservation of the Chippewa or Ojibway Indians.
Resuming our journey we reached Fargo, on the Red River of the North, in Dakota, whose people ar^ vide awake and energetic. The city is illuminated by Electric Lights, has street railways and many other modern appliances. Several of the citizens including Messrs. Crockett, Blanchard and Fleming cordially invited us to sidetrack until they could show us their beautiful little city. Messrs Dalrymple and Steele were introduced to our party. They are the "Bonanza" farmers of the region. The former has 75,000 acres under cultivation, 30^)00 acres of wheat into which in a few weeks he will put 200 harvesters. His superintendents report daily by telephone to the central office at the village these reports are condensed by clerks and a summary presented of the operations over the wtire estate. Mr. Dalrymple resides anst. Paul and is a very genial and unassuming gentlemen.
Mr. (iiraham, formerly connected with the T. H. A S. E. R. R. is now superintendent of the division west of Fargo. He inquired particularly after his Terre Haute friends, Capt. Fitch and others.
Arriving at Blsmark, we were very unexpectedly welcomed by a communication from the Mayor of the city extending the hospitality of the citizens during our sojourn, and designating the next morning for showing us the city and surrounding country. Our friend McCarty, whose modesty is only surpassed by his avoirdupois was quite overwhelmed with the idea that such formalities 'Would probably necessitate a speech in reply, but this was avoided by resorting to ink and paper and the invitation was thankfully accepted. In fulfillment of the plan, carriages were in waiting at the appointed hour, and a very agreeable morning was spent in the companionship of Mayor Dunn, Col. Thompson, Messrs. Coffin, Bragg, McNeil, Lewis, Quinn, Davidson, Fort, Wallace, Plannett and others whose names cannot now be recalled, representing the banking, mercantile, legal, and journalistic interest of the place a most hospitable and whole-souled company who dwelt enthusisstically upon the attiactions and prospects of this remarkable little city on the banks of the Missouri River 2,000 miles above Saint Louis. Thto wonderful stream to navigable 1,400 miles above Blsmark. Our ride into the country of 15 miles was replete with Interesting experiendes. Wheat, oats and barley, small fruits and vegetables all looked fine and gave promise of large crops. Timothy in heavy growth, disproved the assertion that thto grass will not grow in Dakota. And thto farming country with Its fine products was but a little spot of the millions of acres of Northern Dakota. We were shown the new Capitol building, the Penitentiary, Public and Private buildings denoting liberal ideas and broad-gauge plana for the future. We reciprocated ihe attentions of our entertainers by inviting them to a late dinaerserved by Ellis, Dan and Joe, our "Worcester" cook and hto assistants, which was an oocasion of mutual satisfaction. Our limited time prevented us from enjoying a proposed reception for the next evening, at which we were to meet the todies of the city.
Prior to our fadiig eastward we were taken over the great Iron bridge across the Missouri river, costing with its approaches one and one-half nrillllan dollars. We were welcomed by the Mayor of and handsomely entertained daring our short sojourn in that lively

MATT.
THE
little city. Here we met "mine host" Hsger, who has relatives in Terre Haute. The museum of Indian curiosities at Mandan to remarkably fine -and the tasteful arrangement^of finely prepared specimens of birds, animals, minerals, etc., elicited great admiration. It is quite a unique ahow.
At Detroit Lake, on our return, a shadow come over our enjoyment by the death of our esteemed friend Mrs. Blanchard. With saddened hearts beating in quick sympathy with our bereaved brother, and with funeral surroundings we retraced tbe pathway so lately glided over with merry-making and joyous anticipations. If kind friends, tender ministrations and loving sympathy can in any degree mitigate such an unexpected affliction, they were extended in fullest messure on this occasion. Our trip, outside of this most pathetic episode, was full of satisfaction and enjoyment, and adds another proof to Ben Blanchard's reputation of doing more for his patrons and friends than he promised to do.
