New surveys On James River.

new surveys On James River.
Last Monday noon General w. H.
Beadle, Superintendent of Public Instruc.
ticn Of this Territory, came up from where
his surveying party IS ut work on or near
James River, 40 miles below here; for be
it remembered the General is not only an
excellent educ ator, but Is also one Of the
oldest and best surveyors in Dakota and
his the contract for running the exterior
lines of forty>two Townships. and for sub.
dividing Townships 1874 and 1876, in
Range 60; 1874, 1856 and 1876, Range e1 ;
1876 and 1876, in Range 50; 1875 In Range
So. He is on his way to Yankton by
nail, being somewhat on the sick list, and
also has educational business connected
with his Office that needs his attention
He leaves Peter Royden, bis associate, in
charge of his party during his absence,
intending to return within fortnight.
Mr.. Van Antwerp has the contract for
subdividing into sections Township 133,
10 Ranges so and 81, besides others, while
Township 136, in Range go, has by some
oversight been unpruvided tor. The
James River, according 70 a1ensral BIS
description, is untordablc below point
two miles south of the north line of Town
ship l34, in Range 81, until south of Lake
Che.han chi.ca.ha Dakota for 1.-THE Lake
where the timber was lost" too long a
cognomen entirely, and we have the honor
to propose that the settlers and map
makers rename the lake after Gen. Beadle,
who made the pioneer trip from Yankton
to jamestown IN 1878, having to stand
the Indians off by the virtue Of firearms
and villianous saltpetre to prevent his
being at least robbed, if not scalped-
robbery would be in fact death by starva-
ton. He was the first to describe the
dirt lodges and the country surrounding
them. Gen. Beadle is worthy of having
this beautiful lake called after HIM, and
we hope that it will be named as we sug.
gcst. At its mouth new town is being
built, and already christebed Richmond
by an association of Minneapolis people,
who are engaged in building dam across
the river at the mouth of the lake, which
will further increase its depth and will
afford splendid mill privilege. General
Beadlc describes the river between this
point and the ford go miles north, spoken
Of above, as being At least from three to
five feet in depth, and about two chains,
Or 1872 feet wide on an average, and will
afford nice strip of navigable water for
agood sized steamer. This is low water
estimate, Of course, in the spring, and
during freshets it is much deeper.
The Valley of the Dakota or James
River is now practically settled from
Yankton to Richmond, and next year the
.ettlers from below will join hands with
those proceeding south from this place.
and this magnificent valley be sea of
waving grain fields, titled by prosper
o,,s. industrious DeODle.

bustling and busy city, stands Helena
the Queen Of the Mountains. In 1864
the mining camp lose its original name,
and the place was formally christened
Helena. The town, for Helena is not vet
Incorporated city, has at present nearly
5000 inhabitants About one twelfth of
this number are Chinese. There are two
daily papers, ably edited by courteous
gentlemen, besides two weeklics. All
these papers are we'll supported, as, in.
deed, they should be. Helena's streets
are rather narrow considering the amount
of business done, but the streets are orna
mented by many substantial stone and
brick stores, warehouses and beautiful
residences. The amount of business done
here is great and surprising, and the fine,
large and varied stocks carried by the
different houses are worthy of comment.
This is the great shipping point OF the
Territory, and the amount Of freight
shipped to and from here is immense
1t must not be supposed because Helena
is SO far west that it is mining town,
rough in the extreme; the contrary is tue.
The place is quiet and orderly. The
rough class is but small fraction of the
population, and disturbances are few.
What most imprcsses one newly arrived
here is the geniality Of Helena's people,
the look Of contentment on every oaes
face, and the general air of we'll doing.
No one need come here prepared to work
and fsil to find employm The wages
for labor. am told, are excellent. Pass.

the present, in Montana seems to be most
profitable business. mean particularly
by farming raising wheat and oats. In.
stead Of buying and selling by the bushel
both grains are bought and sold by the
pound. Wheat is worth about three cents
per pound, and oats from two and one
quarter cents to three cents per pound
Thirty bushels Of wheat to the acre and
6fty or sixty Of oats are nothing extraor-
dinary. 1t will be seen at what margin
for profit grain can be raised and sold at
these prices. 1t is understood that all
the grain raised here is for territorial con.
only. When the railroads are
pushed through, though perhaps this will
not be for some years yet, level fr
prices will, Of course, be found. While
IN Dakota l had heard that Montana suf-
fers euch summer from drought. This is
. mistake. For the last three or four
years an abundance of rsin has fallen in
the Territory each summer. Previously,
however, there had been scarcity Of rain
fall, and farmers were under the necessity
of making irrigating bitches to water
their crops. While travelling from Benton
to Helena we passed many Of these
bitches, but they seem to be Of but little
use this year, because enough rain falls to
keep the crops in excellent condition
without them. VIM.

TO render il certain that, in its destructive

Of its ravages at Dawson's Mills, Neb on
the line of the Atckison and Nebraska rail-
road; at Beatty, on the ST. Joe and Denver

road. The storm came from the south west,
and ss the points first and last named are

The most serious di'asler il reported from

point twelve persons we're killed and about
iorty-nine wounded, and thirty or forty
houses we're blown down, including two

these buildings we're stone, rubst.ntially con-

THE FESTIVAL.

The strawberry and ice cream festival,
held in Beatty & Kelley's Hall. Friday
night last, was the Rrandest affair that ever
took place in Dodge City. Fully three
hundred people we're present and Participat-
ed in the harmonious occasion. The fes,i-
val was for the benefit of Rev o. W. Wright,
pastor of the Presbyterian church. Mr..
Wright is the Oldest minister in this city,
and is universally respected. He is over
joyed BY this act of generosity -hown in an
entertainment contributed BY all classes OF
people.
The gathering met early in the evening,
and continued to swell in numbers until 10
O'Clock; when Beeson's Orchestra arrived
and at the sound OF the instruments seventy.
Eve couple we're ON the aoor. keeping step
to the delightful strains Of music. This
part Of the entertainment might seem strange
where the strictest rules of Presbyt terian
propriety are enforced, but in Dodge City
whenever the bugle call is sounded the light
fantastic toe trips eaily Ger the floor. Aside
from the happy occasion ard the feas, Of
good thingp, We should embrace the opPor-
tunity of speaking OF the advanced and im-
proved social plane in our family circle.
Dodge City is connected BY reputation with
cut throats, thieves and marauderr. This
may have been true, and with its outside
surroundings, may be partially true at this
time; but there has heen radical change
in its character and sentiment We have no
better evidence of the improved moral tone
than that shown in the festival gathering.
Our society will compare favorably With any
city of the size of Dodge. Here good Or
derly character has been established. With
this virtue the other elements Of sobrie'y,
virtue and decency have a prsdomlnating in
fluence; and the marked change in our iocial
statu. il highly pleasing and commenaable.
We take pleasure in alluding to these facts.
ss they are the precursors Of better, a hap
pier and . more prosperoas life, which will
send Dodge City on in iIs glorious career.
The reader will pardon our moral digress-
ion. 1t is our delight to speak of these
things. The church influence is assuming q
firm hold, and vas assis ed in this undertak-
ing BY men and women, who, though they
may not have particular religious beliefs. OF
hold to no church union, we're impelled to
this line Of duty BY the true spirit OF benevo-
lence, kindness and goodness of heart. Chris.
iian character is not confined to the portal
Of the church sanctuary. There are christi
an hearts who do &C s Of b nevolence and
kindness With the heroism of Jim Bludso
aud Who make no prsting of their good
deeds. There is large element Of thii
chr stian character in Dodge, and no occas-
ion slips by in which is is not fully shown
