above or below the surface, at the will of
the manipulation. 1t j. cigar shaped rum
ming to a point at each end, in length
about fourteen feet and in width about
five feet. 1t is constructed of iron plates
yearly quarter of an inch in thickness,
and the Weight OF the boat, including
ballast, is about five tons. It is propelled
by the means Of ;four-bladed screw,
worked from within Fan ingenious COM
tina.ion of treadle and fly wheel, and is
steered by means Of a ordinary rudder.
The boat is balanced evenly by means of
laden keel; nearly II 70 feet broad and
weighing about two t4ns Access is gain
ed to the interior Of II boat by means Of
little square tower rising from the
center of the cigar to height Of about
two feet. Once within and having care
fully closed this nanhole, the operator
can descend when he plcases. At each
end Of the boat is placed water'tank,
and it is by means Of these tanks that lie
descends and ascends at will If he wish
es to descend he turns small tap, and,
this filing the above mentioned tanks
with water, the boat naturally sinks;
when he desires to rise to the surface he
makes use of an air pump, and, expelling
the water, restores the buoyancy Of the
boat In the sides of the above mention
ed tower are four little windows, and, in
addition, two small brass caps These ale
flanked internally by long kind of stock
ing, of stout waterproof material. The
caps being removed, these stockings fill
with water, and by turning them inside
out and using each as glove. the opera
tor gets the free use Of his arms outside
the boat to work his torpedo. In addi
tion to working the boat, the submarine
traveller has to keep himselfsuppled with
pure air. The breath which he exhales
passes by means of tube through kind
of a,knapsack containing mixture of
chemicals, and by this means is purified
sufficiently to be fit to enter his lungs
again. The boat is, Of course, lighted by
electricity, as gas would increase the I'M
purity "f the atmosphere. A series of
experiments took place short time ago
with the boat in question, and were, we
are given to understand highly successful.
The present speed of the boat is only four
or five knots an hour, but Dr.. Garrett
conterp.ates building a boat of much
larger size, and has scheme in view for
increasing the powers of propulsion of the
| boat.

The New Year.

''The king is dead, long live the king"
was the loyalist cry at the death of their
moncrchs, it being their practice not for
an instant to acknowledge that their
;, kingdom was without head; and SO At
the death of the OLD year; those Of US
who are awake, salute It's incoming suc~
cessor and each other with cries of "Happy
New Year, and what hopeful, whole
souled salute it is, breathing an exhuber.
ance of good will and kindliness for our
fellows, mingled with mental craving
that it may be for the one who utters it,
indeed happy year.
The past 3G5 days have come to each of
US with different experiences; to some
Joy, to some sorrow, to others union Of
both. No day is so bright but night
follows, no light so drear but dawn
comes after So will this year be as
others have been in the past; and yet
looking at it from the standpoint in
Dakota Territory. especially along this
Sc ton on the Northern Pacific Railroad,
the future looks all bright. The n. p.
r r. is to be extended Emigration has
awoke to the fact that here are prosperous
homes and happy futures to be made.
Those who are now here see visions that
are not wholly visions, of how they may
improve their circumstances before they
salute 1880, and with judgment and dill
gence on their part, we have no fear but
Fortune will smile on their endcavors.
"Heaven helps them who help them
Selves" and if we would win we must
work in some way. The West offers
wealth for those who seek Alright; but let
none of our eastern friends come here
expecting to find bread fruit hanging on
trees; for, firstly, there is lack Of trees,
and secondly, they do not grow breadfruit; :;
but let them come with stalwart arm and
strong common sense, and they will find,
with Heavens blessing, that not only this
year, but many TO come will be happy
years.

But short time ago the world was

irving at greater stage of perfection. it
bids fair before long to completely drive
out of the fields our costly ironclads. We

Northern Pacific Railroad Company, or
from parties to whom they have sold, at
very reasonable figures, and if desired on
such time as will enable purchaser IN
five years to have his farm, machinery,
ETC., paid for, as we'll as an ample living
for himself and family.
The Government offers its lands almost
for the taking, with the further advantages
of exemption from taxation for a number
of years, and from the liability for debt
contracted prior to the issuance of the
final papers, or the patent, which is the
warrantee deed from the United States to
the settler.
While this county offers bonanza for
the grain raiser, it also offers another pur-
suit, that of cattle raising, or as it is
termed in the west, stock ranching; and
were we inclined for the life of farmer,
we would choose to be stock farmer in
Dakota, feeling convinced that in ten
years we would distance Neighbor Cereal
who puts his faith IN wheat and oats
alone. Up and down the James River in
particular. as we'll as on the borders of
some of the large lakes to the northeast,
large meadows abound, and stock can be
wintered at ridiculously low cost; and
bring, when they are fitted for market on
the products OF these meadows alone,
bouncing high prices.
Our nation has gotten back to the day
of gold again, and is apparently on the
high road to prosperity and perhaps man
featuring supremacy, yet there are super
abundance of dwellers in the cities and
large towns, who living from hand to mouth
or still worse, almost starving, must turn
tillers of the soil in some shape; and they
would do well to cast their lots in Dakota,
where, if we do not have oranges and pine
apples in bloom on New Years Day, that
scourge, yellow Jack, does not molest or
make afraid, and where honest toll meets
a rich reward in health and prosperity.

Pioneer ffeSS.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-At an adjourned
meeting Of directors the Northern Pacific
Railroad company has to: day awarded the
contract for building the first hundred
miles west of Bismarck to the lowest
bidder among fortyeight proposals re-
ceived, viz: Stephen G. Walker, Of Peek
skill, n. Y; heman Clark, of East
Orange, n. j.: James Bellows, of Ro'
chester, n Y, and Robert J. Campbell,
of Bath, n. Y. The work is to be COM

OPINIONS FROM MIR. BRACKETT.
A reporter of the Pioneer Press met
Mr.. Geo. A. Bracket at Minneapolis
yesterday, and in response to inquiries in
reference to the bids for the Northern
Pacific extensioE, that gentleman stated
that in his estimation Minnesota bidders
have no show whatever for securing the
contract, as there were five lower bids
than any Of them made. The lowest bid.
der was New York man named Walker,
whose bid was $7,1OO per mile for the
road complete-grading, bridging, ties,
iron and al, ready for the cars. The
contract was awarded to Walker on this
bid, and he had until yesterday to secure
satisfactory bonds for the faithful fulfill
ment of his contract. Whether or not he
secured the necessary bonds Mr.. Bracket
had not learne d. but was inclined to
doubt his ability to do so, ss the bid is
rulnously low. 1t was based on grading
at IS cents per yard, and haul not to
| exceed five hundred yards, aud without
reservation as to the character of the
excavation to be made, whether sand, clay
or rock. But if this bid and the next
above it should drop out of sight, tue
third bid, which is about 81 500 per
mile fot the road complete and ready for
the cars, will hold, he thinks, as it Is
said to be backed by Sidney Dillon, OF
the Union Pacific. This bid is based on
grading without reservation at twenty
cents per yard, and Mr.. Bracket thinks
that at $500 per mile the bidder IS wei
come to all he can make out of the con-
! tract .Is

The wheat would, taking an average of
% bushels per acre, at say 80 cents per
bushel, which is fair estimate of price
for our wheat, bring $3.50 per acre, less
the expense of hauling to the railroad, say
one dollar, or $3.50; leaving as interest
on machinery, stock, money used in put
ting in crop, ETC., $3.50 per acre.
The cost of putting in second crop Mr..
Dalrymple, estimates as beng about $S.25,
there being no breaking or backsetting,
and the soil being in better tilth, the saving
in labor in seeding, will compensate for
the ploughing Of the stubblc. Why
farmers will live year after year in the
older states where they can hardly make
ends meet from New Years Day to New
Years Eve, when they can get such lands,
yields and prices for their grain in North
ern Dakota, is somewhat of mystery, and
cannot be accounted for but on the suppo.
s,tion that they lack energy to push out
and make" with but little probability of
''break".
Lands arc as yet cheap. The railroad

The Eureka Leader tells this: "One
of the boys thought he was in luck last
night. He ran up against an old debtor
at faro game, and the fellow was
playing in luck, betting red chips. He
raked out about. a hundred, and walked
out, followed by the creditor. On be-
ing reminded of that ten dollars that
he had borrowed year ago, he was
not only mean enough to repudiate, but
also to call the creditor a vile name
1t was a fighting word, and being SO
taken, there was lively time for a
few minutes. We regret to state that
the creditor did not get his ten dollars,
but instead retired with a very badly
damaged head. There is no Justice in
this world.
