Merck/Eberle Letters in der Staats-Anzeiger

Additional letters that appeared in der Staats-Anzeiger German language newspaper have recently been translated. Joseph Merck, after having been in North Dakota for only five months (1912), expressed a desire to obtain land in Montana in 1913 and to move his family there. As we now know, he didn't do that, but eventually moved to Oregon after about ten years in North Dakota. His brother-in-law, Felix Eberle, also corresponded with the newspaper in 1912 to recommend the newspaper take a stand for legislation setting a minimum price for the crops of North Dakota farmers.
