It Is Easy to Spot a Town On the, ND. Prairie.
"This one, [the narrator’s motorcycle] despite the murderous treatment it got at the hands of those alleged mechanics, seems to have recovered and has been requiring fewer and fewer repairs as time goes on. .. There it is! Ellendale! .. A water tower, groves of trees and buildings among them in the morning sunlight. I’ve just given in to the shivering which has been almost continuous the whole trip. The watch says seven-fifteen.“
Ellendale, ND. is announced by water tower, county courthouse, buildings and trees. All trees you see are those planted for shade and windbreaks. Ellendale, like most towns in the dry dusty western regions, does not run the major highway directly down its main street and business district.
