FORTUNA, =315 m.= (2,190 alt., 196 pop.), a Scandinavian community, named for the Roman goddess of fortune, was established in the summer of 1913 when the branch line of the Soo Ry. was extended from Ambrose, N. Dak., to Whitetail, Mont. The day lots were sold, temporary business houses, which had been squatting a mile from the present site at a post office called Norge, were put on wheels and rolled away to the new town by night. Right from Fortuna on a county road to the DEWITT SPRING, =1 m.=, whose flow fills a two-inch pipe of water the year around. It has furnished water for Fortuna since the founding of the village. At =329 m.= the route crosses the Montana Line, 66 m. E. of Scobey, Mont. SIDE TOUR 5A Junction ND 5--Walhalla--Leroy. ND 32, ND 55, and an unimproved road. Junction ND 5 to Leroy, 25 m. Branch of G. N. Ry. touches at Walhalla. Graveled roadbed except for 0.5 m. outside Leroy. Accommodations in Walhalla. This route runs through the Pembina Mountains, a scenic region rich in historical associations. From Walhalla, one of the oldest towns in the State, the route turns east to the settlement of the metis, descendants of those French-Chippewa who conducted the famous Pembina hunts of the middle nineteenth century. ND 32 branches N. from ND 5 at Oak Lawn Historic Site (_see Tour 5_), =0.0 m.= At =8 m.= the graceful wooded PEMBINA MOUNTAINS are visible on the horizon. The nearest elevation, 250 or 350 ft. higher than the country to the E., is known as Second Pembina Mountain, and is a portion of the Pembina Escarpment, a high ridge extending from Canada through North Dakota into South Dakota and southwestern Minnesota. In the southern part of North Dakota it is known as the Coteau des Prairies. First Pembina Mountain, lying SE. of Second Mountain, is the prehistoric delta of the Pembina River, formed when that stream drained the melting ice sheet into Lake Agassiz (_see_ NATURAL SETTING _and Tour 1_). First Pembina Mountain has an average height of 150 ft., and its eastern edge shows the various shore lines of Lake Agassiz as it receded in post-glacial times. To the first white explorers and trappers the Pembina Mountains were known as the Hair Hills, coveted hunting ground held by the Chippewa, whose ownership was often hotly contested by the Sioux. During the early nineteenth century white and half-breed hunters roamed the hills, gathering furs to be loaded on lumbering, squeaking oxcarts and sent to eastern trading posts.
