JAMESTOWN, Dakota, Aug. 6.-The Times
commissioner has travelled since 10 o'clock A. M.
to-day the section of country between Bismarck,
on the Missouri, and this place, on the james
river. The land along the railroad appears to
b. similar in character to that of Minnesota,
and particularly adapted to small grain. The
first farm of much size thirteen miles from Bis
marck, is Mr.. Clarke's, and contains twelve
Thousand acres, fifteen hundred being under
pillow and producing wheat and oats IN good
quantity and quality. Forty-fre miles east
OF the Missouri river the Bachelor Steele farm
is seven thousand acres, eleven hundred acres
being under pillow and q section in oats, which
are threshing out sixty bushels to the acre. No
young bachelor ever felt his oats more salts
factorily than Mr.. Steele. Ten miles east of
Steele's is the Troy farm of ten thousand acres
and thirteen hundred under tillage, and
in the immediate vicinity Of this
point there have been broken this summer

line of the Northern Pacific railroad

men are hunting after, but there is breaking
of prairie land by the plows of pioneers who
are fast coming here to develop and improve
this northern Egypt.

The Indian has followed him, and there is lit

except that imported by railroad, and known
as euchre and old sledge, which are not nu-

NEW EMPIRE.
RIsMARcK, D. T., Aug. 6.-The new transfer
steamer of the Northern Pacific railroad ar ived
at this point last night She is an exception
any large and strong boat, capable of carrying
across the Missouri river six loaded freight
cars at time. Her work of placing the iron ties,
tension or the Northern Pacific railr rad com
menced this morning and within one year the
steam engine will chase the native Indian out
or the valley of that great river and open up
to enlightened agriculture scope of productive
country more than equal to all the middle States
and New England. That new empire added 10
the fertile domain which stretch b. nee to st.
Paul will all be by nature and by imperious
railroad mpetition tributary to Chicago and
her commerce. In this new Nor,h~es where
an ordinary wheat field is SO large that Rhode
Island might drop into it. having Burnside and
his whiskers ON board. without attracting at
tentlon, one begins to realize the vastness Of
his country and the littleness of the men who
govern and direct it.
Bismarck is aourishing. The Ere department
are out this morning with steam fire engino
drawn by trained Texas steers, whose horns are
in keeping with the size of those
placed under the average Bismarck oiti-
zens' waistband. Five steamboats, destined for
the United States forts in the Yellowstone and
upper Missouri are now at the levee, and there
ia every indication of business thrift in Bis
marck which one could desire, including Chinese
iaundries, churches and opera house, keno
banks and other accompaniment of the picket
guards of civilization. As between the church
and keno the latter has the fastest record,
though the former is we'll in hand, and with
good training may finally distance its
wicked competitor.
