Stereoview of a number of boys play in a water filled ditch on the north side of the Northern Pacific Railway tracks in Moorhead. The view is to the east from 6th Street. A boy in the foreground puts on his shoes; two men stand on the platform of the Northern Pacific freight depot in the distance; a snow bank is visible on the north side of a shed on the right; box cars stand on the Northern Pacific tracks at extreme right; visible at extreme left is the recently constructed three-story Jay Cooke House Hotel.
Stereoview to the north from the Moorhead side of the Red River near Woodlawn Park toward the Northern Pacific Railway bridge. Visible in the center distance; a man fishing with a stick stands on a log at right holding a stringer of fish, a rope stretches across the river from the lower left foreground to the Fargo, Dakota Territory bank at left. Cord wood cut upstream has drifted down into the rope. Workers on the far bank load wood onto a small ox-drawn railroad car on rails to be hauled up on the bank; stacks of wood are visible on the bank above.
