The Union Pacific railroad built a new station and tank, while the farmers organized and put up a large grain elevator; later they also erected a flour mill. Mr. Seyfang projected a theatre building and hall for the growing town. New additions were laid out while many fine homes were constructed. Farming was prosperous and was reflected in the growth and development of the town, so that today it is one of the prosperous young towns of the Panhandle with great opportunities for bigger and still better expansion.

The Lutheran church is of stone with furnace heat. It has a large membership with a resident pastor. The Methodist church also has a large membership with resident minister and both organizations have societies for church work.

Potter's school has developed from the old station where it was organized by Joseph Oberfelder, when count}- superintendent in 1883, to two rooms in the late eighties and about 1915 to four rooms well equipped, in a brick structure with basement, gymnasium, domestic science and clay molding.

In the winter of 1886-1887 the grangers to the north used to bring in red cedar posts and trade for groceries.

During that winter I was in Potter a number of times on that mission. The first time was with George Hendricks. I believe we broke the road just about as it now stands. I am sure our little pony team was the first to go up that hill with a wagon out of Big Horn canyon on the east side of the place where the principal road now runs. We crossed Lawrence Fork at the same point this road now occupies. We were unable to sell or trade the posts in Potter and drove to Sidney, where we made the necessary exchange with A. Pease, then in business there.
