gloom Ben Buffers bad eye glares
like like dark lantern, solitary and

wing of the Republican party and
is bossing the Democratic machine.
The strong probability of having
Butler for governor is making the

actually sick. Butler means busi-

Of them if they have thirty bushels Of wheat
to the acre and get sixty cents for it, OF. ff.
teen bushels and get ninety cents for it.
Either horn of the dilemma he can take
with his usual growl.
The class Of settlers coming into the val.
ley this season are the very best. All 20 to
work we'll prepared with implement and
stock. They are farmers from the states
men who cone here to open up a farm and
live we'll from it, products, besides yearly
adding to it, improvement. They are not
the kind that some years since swarmed up
the Jim river, laying out town sites and
building up court houses, jails, school
houses, railroads and great mail routes, with

for parts unknown. A few remain, waiting
for the rise in town lots, the coming "gard.

badly cultivated.
The horse crop Of the valley is astonish-
ing. There is an average Of two colts to
every farm, I believe. I have never seen 10
many colts in the same space Of country
and Of such good quality. I predict that
Dakota will produce the best cavalry horses
in the world, from the fact that one can raise
= horse here, which, when four years old,
will be perfectly developed without the as
~sistance Of grain. Our grass and hay will
keep him in good order the year through.

endurance, and will live longer and die
sounder in limb and wind than one reared
