The Northern Paclflo railroad was ex
tended to liiaiuarck in that year, 15, and
btdweeu KlNinarck and Fargo there waan't
a mile of railroad track, or a dwHlinsr.
Imlrymple, with the Instinct of the true
pioneer, scented a rich future fur the
wenterii inai.ies Blid Induced his friend
K. B. (Irandln, to go and spy out the land
Oradlii ltniked over some aectlone of
lakota carefully and went back word fni
iMlryinpln to come on.
llalldlnu n Great Farm.
In 1N75 and WTB lialrymple "boiiftht from
the Northern Pacific rullroaxl ami from the
1'nlted Btatea govenuneiit 73.0011 arres of
land in the Red River valley. Part of this
land lui acipilred for himself, and of the
rest he owned half, the remainder being
taken by General O. W. Cass, then presi
dent uf thg Northern Paclfio road; B. P.
Cheney of Huston and J. L. und E. B.
Urandln of Pennsylvania.
The lands were paid for In Indian scrip
and rutlroud stock' at par and In that way
cohi from 40 uents to ti an kcre. The same
lauda are worth on an average 5 an acre
nowS Hut tlila rise of price could only be
(ueaaed at In the day when i)arymple
made hla first hltf deal.
Few people then believed that the Rod
River valley land had any particular agri
cultural value. Sir. Dalrymple lias a.il.l
that In the rprlng of IS7G a large portion
of Ida farming property was under water
and on a windy day the whlteeapa rolled
over the, broad expunse with sufficient
forco tu swamp a small boat.
lti:t the Iairynipla and the Graudius
were convinced even then of the value for
agrtcttltural purposea of the rich, black
aoll uf the now famous valley, and L'alrym
ple auld tlait whether the aurroundins
coimiry should remain unsettled or not It
would command a price above M an acre
before many years.
Without delay he aet out to demonstrate
his faith In the future of the plains and
for five years he broke ,U00 acres each
year. Practically all of the 90.000 acres
waa put into wheat. Of this farm Mr.
Dalrymple owned three-fourths and he waa
the general manager.
Work at Administration.
The neceslsty of dividing the farm into
administrative and working sections was
apparent to Dalrymple from the outset. He
I made each of his superintendents directly
reapuuaiule. for the working of J. 500 acres
and ec!i superintendent, finding that the
executive business required all of his time,
appointed foreman, who cade the rounds
on horseback.
JrJach l.cadguarteis was connected with
till t ent: Hi office at t'aes.'ltou by Isk'j.hone
and the ccnlial ol.cu wa cuiiiietrtj .ln
the telpgraph office at the railroad sta
tion, liuh division wan equipped with Its
own set of workmen, teams nnd machinery.
Although the land Is so h'r as to re
quire much leB machinery and power to
operate than the ordinary farm, there were,
aa noted, l.V) gang plaugha, seventy gang
diillft, Ifii I aelf-hlndlng harvesters and
twelve extra large threshing outfits. The
twelve tlireahlng outfits each turned out
from S.ono to 1!,500 bushels of wheat a day,
and when threshing began on the Dalrym
ple farm the railroad company provided
two special trains a day tq haul the grain
away.
It took from 500 to harvest hands to
do the work, and though many wheat far
mers in the Liakotas havr trouble In get
ting men for tho few weeks of hard, fast
work lu the harveat season, the Dalrymple
farm usually had an adequate stippiy of
labor, for Iarymple's way of dealing with
his men was well known among the great
gangs that garner the crops in this sec
tion. Cottlnsr Down the Bonansav.
The Dalrymples and the Grandln brothers
divided their Jol nt holdings about seven
years ago and the Dalrymples gradually
reduced the magnitude of their operations
and sold portions of their land. W. F.
Dalrymple died several years ago and since
that time Oliver still further reduced his
holdings until lat year he hud about 17,0;i
In the Red River valley. Not all of this
la sown to wheat now, for Dalrymple had
begun to rotate his crops to revitalize the
soil.
The twenty-five years which Oliver Dal
rymple spent as a resident of St. Paul
didn't change him from a farmer. Uu al
ways Insisted that he waa such, and those
who called him a capitalist or a captain
of industry offended him. He was a man
of retiring disposition and modest manner,
and often dec-lured that he waa happiest
when he was at Casaelton or riding across
his expansive fields and talking with his
men about the thing which had occupied
so large a part of hla life and brought him
great riches wheat.
A Timely Air.
During one of the political tours of Mr.
Cleveland, in which he waa accompanied
by Secretary Oluey, he arrived during a
severe storm at a town in which he was
to speak, relates Harper's Weekly. As he
entered the carriage with hla friends and
was driven from tho station the rain
changed to hail, and immense atones bat
tered and rattled against the vehicle. A
brass baud, rather demoralised by the
storm, stuck bravely to it poat and
played.
"That Is the moat realistic music I have
eer he'ard,"' remarked the president.
"What are- they playing?" asked the sec
retary of state.

MITCHELL CORN PALACE -SHOW
A li una I Kvenl Will Attract Many Peo
ple to Sontta Dakota
t Hi.
MITCH KLU S. D., Sept. 19. -(Special. -One
of tho strongest advertising feature
lor placing the resource of Smith Dakota
before tha world Is the corn palace that I
held annually In Mitchell. While the Idea
1 not original with this city, It being taken
up In INC when dropped by Sioux City, In.,
which bad advertised that city 'and Iowa
famously, It ha been worked to a splendid
advantage fur this slate. Previous to 1W
tlie crop products of South Dakota were
qiii.it. oiied to a considerable extent by
eastern people and the yields of wheat
were looked upon as more or less fictitious
ami they could not be convinced unless
they saw something of the return from the
fields. This was afforded lu the corn
I'lilare when fifteen counties exhibited
their products to hundreds of eastern people
who flooded the state that fall and had
the satisfaction of absolutely knowing that
the slate waa not putting up a bluff. The
palace was held again in lx3, and then
came the succession of year when the
crop were liort and the times were hard,
and It auHpended operation for seven yeais.
In 19o0 the palace waa resumed and hIiio
then it has been a b'g factor In d ?seniina
ting the gospel of good crop throughout
the country.
Since lMW there has not been a fetlure of
crops in the state and since that vedr tin
day of diversified farming has taken a
greater hold on the farmers, so that at the
present time so much dependence Is not
placed In any one cerel.
Fifteen counties In the cenlrul. southern
and northern art of the state have this
year signified their Intention of displaying
their produrts. and a priaa of Jlo to the
firat, to the second and V to the thud
will be awarded In prixes to the succeaaiul
counties, while each county making an
exhibit will be given a premium of J..,.
These exhibits will contain something of
every thing grown oa the farm and the
attractive manner In which the exhibit
are arranged show off the products with
fine efert.
The amusement featurea of corn palace
woek, which is from September 2i lo Oc-
af-
lober 3, will consist of two concerts.
ternoon ami evening, by Thavlu'a band of
I'hiciigo. which will be interspersed with
six vaudeville acts. Music has been one
of the predominating features of palace
week anil some Important organization
have played engagements ut tin alace
nolhably John I'hlllip Sousa aud his baud
played a week for two seasons, the Kaiiihi
Rosa has appeared twice, l'liiiiney' United
.Slates hand twice, the Lynn, Ma.ts., band,
Deliaugh's band and the Kill It s. The eal
.ing capacity of the palace hi the auditorium
and the great gallery permlta .".(UK) people
to assemble and it has been filled many a
1 ime.
For a project of this character to be car
ried on by a i-ity or only haw pcoplu In
something of an undertaking, but tlm com
mittee In charge has the. united effort of
tlm people behind It, ami It ha never
failed of being a Hiicceaa. With tho be
ginning of the work in the fall a fund of
ttbout $l.i do is raised to pay the incidental
expenses leading up to the opening day,
and this is merely a contribution on the
part of I lie business men of the city, who
do not Hhare In t)ie receipt of the exposi
