doubt one of the most attractive and

panied by ladies were permitted to enter
the ball room, it was crowded, and at
persisly at o'clock the Whole company
led off with a grand march.

The Bismarck Tribune sensibly suggests
that there ought to be at least two new
land Offices in Dakota; one at Grand
Forks or some other convenient points in
the lower Red River valley, and one at
Jamestown. If We mistake not, there
will be great rush for lands in the
vicinity of jamestown next year" The
suggestion il u good one. The wave OF
pioneer settlement has swept over Fargo,
and it is but justice to new settlers that
land offices should be established for their
benefit. It's too much to require them
to go y hundred miles to make the entries.
You are correct, Bro. Hall, and since the
FIRST two months business of the Fargo
land Office amounted TO more than enough
to pay the expenses ofruniing it the whole
year, it looks like robbery on the part Of
the government to oblige poor men to be
at the expense Of trip to Fargo, to make
entries.

A NEW FEATURE FOR JAMESTOWN,
1t all Goes TO Show that Jamestown
will mark the New Division of
the Lreat. Nor thern Pacific.

Tie general manager OF the Northern
Pacific, as we'll as several other promi-
nent railroad officials, is not altogether
blind to the fact that Jamestown must un-
avoidable become, the most important
city bordering the iron pathway oft G
great route, between Fargo and Bmarck.
The rapidly increasing business of the
road at this place has reached point
where a change is ahsolutly necessary.
The depot and freight house now in
use come very far from. beng capable OF
meeting the demands of the city And
in view of these facts the comp'ny propose
to remove the depot now located on The
north side Of the track to more prom
incnt point on the south side, oppo
site the Dakota House. The building
will be extensively improved and only oc.
cupir / as a passenger house and ticket
office. A mammoth freight house will
be erected which wllEbe sufficiently large
to accommodate the business OF city Of
twenty five thousand Inhabitants.
We learn further that the company will
soon erect new round house at this point
on the same spot where the old one now
stands, and that it will be of brick instead
Of wood.
These new outgroN tbs all go to SUBJ
stantclatc the rumors which have been
ahoat during the past few months to the
effect that the new division Of the
Northern Pacific will be made at James,
town. 1t being located just one hundred
miles from Bismarck and Fargo, it
certainly appears that such will be the case.

What May be Gained by Making 4
Home in Dakota.

In writing up the advantages of this
locality, we do not suppose we shall
present anything new to- our neighbors or
residents. But we hope to soon extend
our subscription list into the adjoining or
distant states. And being impressed with
the belief that we could not confer
greater favor upon thousands of residents
of other less favored localities than to
induce them to locate here, we propose to
systematically, and steadily present in its
true light the advantages to agricultural
lists and others, OF this region.
We consider that in so doing if we have
any success in the undertaking, that we
shall incidentally benefit all those now
here, and those who may come among us.
We Shall not take it upon ourselves to say
who should or should not emigratc from
one locality to another, but will state who
we think would be benefited more par
ticularly than others. First, those who
may have been unfortunate enough to
locate in unhealthy or malari. Il region, and
there comprise very large portion of the
central west and southwest, no wealth will
compensate any one for the loss OF health.
The loss Of time and expenses from
sickness, keep those In unhealthy regions
involved in the loss OF nearly all the profits
OF their business with others, and with
still others it finally takes all and leaves
them absolutely in want.
All these risks had better be avoided
when they can, as there are in all places
contingencies, that mitigate against pros
peritN they had better seek and locate in
region where they are the fewest in
number, avoiding open and apparent
dangers, would |'c dictate of prudence.
The question of physical health is an im-
portant one to the emigant Strong, healthy
bodies arc usually the homes of Clear
judgment and quick perceptions, men
think l.ster, and ACT more resolutely, and
to the best purpose in a healthy than in a
unhealthy region, there may be brilliant
exceptions, but as !. rule, we think it as
we stated. Second: Those who for, or
from any cause, nave met some loss or
revenue, whose property where they now
are is involved to the extent of Onc~ fourth,
or onc-half Of its selling value, he had
better close out, and rid themselves Of
loads of interest, which may take all they
have if they undertake to carry them,
thousands are slowly sinking in this way.
The rates Of interest contracted for during
the flush times cannot now be borne with
any hope OF getting out whole. The
business Of the country is now ON so diff
ferent basis that involved parties who are
not warranted in indulging in hopes of
getting clear OF old difficulties Of this
kind, better sell out take what is left and
start the whole world anew on Dakota's
fertile plains, or 10 its rich valleys, those
who do this, will stand good chance of
regaining their former, if not better
financial standing.
We respectfully ask parties situated as
we have described to carefully consider
these matters in the light We have tried
to present hem, and we think many will
coincide with our views.
