Left on this road along the north bank of the Cannonball River is HAVELOCK, =6 m.= (2,566 alt., 118 pop.), named for an English stockholder in the Milwaukee R.R. In 1915 a small group of Moravians settled here and erected a church, but by 1924 the colony had dwindled, and the church was sold to the Congregationalists. The Moravians held their immersion baptismal ceremonies in the Cannonball. Right from Havelock (_inquire directions at post office_), =1 m.=, to a BURNING COAL MINE, operated until 1934, when it was discovered to be afire. At times smoke, accompanied by an unpleasant odor of sulphur, is emitted from the mine. At =23 m.= is the eastern junction of ND 21 and ND 22; L. here on ND 21. Rising ahead (R) is a series of conical hills, the TEPEE BUTTES, resembling a giant Indian encampment. The highway parallels them their entire length between =25 m.= and =28 m.= At =36 m.= is the junction with a graveled county road. Left on this road is REGENT, =0.8 m.= (2,461 alt., 308 pop.), named by the railroad company when it was believed that its situation in the center of the county would make it the county seat. The town is on the south bank of the Cannonball. Richard Tooker (1902-), one of the State's successful fiction writers, attended high school in Regent, and had his first story published when only 15. He wrote more than 150 stories before his first novel, _Day of the Brown Horde_, appeared. North of Regent at =1.3 m.= is the junction with a county road; R. on this road to REGENT LAKE, =2.8 m.= (_camping_, _picnicking_, _swimming_). East of Regent on ND 21 the route proceeds for a few miles over a level plain lying S. of the almost treeless Cannonball River valley. MOTT, =51 m.= (2,399 alt., 1,036 pop.), is in the valley of the Cannonball. On an elevation to the NW. the strikingly modern HETTINGER COUNTY COURTHOUSE overlooks the river valley. The town is the terminal of an N. P. Ry. branch, and is also on the Milwaukee. CENTRAL PARK (_tourist camp_, _tennis courts_), is between 3rd and 4th Sts. Its recreation facilities were built as an FERA project. BURT, =58 m.= (2,358 alt., 125 pop.), originally known as Alton Post Office, was named by the N. P. Ry. to honor A. M. Burt, superintendent of the Dakota division. More than 500 poplars and Chinese elms are planted in the town schoolyard. At =63 m.= the highway crosses THIRTY MILE CREEK, one of the larger tributaries of the north fork of the Cannonball. At =68 m.= is the junction with a side road. Left on this =0.1 m.= to a LIGNITE STRIP MINE, the largest of several in this vicinity. It produces 8,000 tons annually, and rough hummocks of earth are thrown up in the stripping process. NEW LEIPZIG, =69 m.= (2,311 alt., 433 pop.), is a Russo-German community, named for Leipzig in Germany, and is on both the Milwaukee and N. P. branch lines where the two roads run parallel only 200 ft. apart.
