LIVE FENCES.
A Matter Which Farmers SnOuld
Consider hmm ediately.

While the "herd law" of Dakota is o
great value to the settlers upon our prai
ries when the country is new and settlers
far separated from each other, yet as the
cultivated fields become more numerous
more extensive, and the range for stock
nav restricted, the necessity for enclos
urcs for domestic animals becomes more
apparent.
| The scarcity Of timber and the high
price of lumber make the ra,l and board
fence too expensive for The farmer Of lin
tied means. Live fences are just the
| thing fol the Dakota prairies, and can be
! grown easily and Of sufficient size III five
TO six years to form a complete barrier
against stock. Our territory produces
the best hedge shrub in America if not
in the world. We refer to the Shep
herdia, commonly known as Burberry
1t IS found in great quantities near Bis
marck and at other points up and down
the Missouri river.

RUSHING BUSINESS.

Work on the extension is now fully Or
ganized. Over 500 men and 200 teams
have passed through the city during the
past week for the front. TO show the i'm
mensc amount Of freight at present being
handled by the Northern Pacific at this
point, there were over 600 cars unloaded
or between 10000 and 10 600 pounds Of
freight from the east handled here during
the past six days. There are now at work
on the extension about 800 men. This
number will be increased to 1000 by the
first OF next month. The ground is now
being worked the entire length from
Green river TO the Little Missouri and
track laying is being pushed at the rate Of
a mile and a quarter per day. There is
no doubt but that trains will be running
to Green river by the first of June and to
the Little NJ issouri by the first of August.
By that time the sixty-five miles
BETWEEN THE LITTLE MISSOURI AND YEL-

will have been mostly graded, ready for

can be no doubt of the Northern Pacific

THE TRIBUNE IN WASHINGTON. ....
= WASHINGTON, D. c., april 18-Your
correspondent would not be surprised if
the Senate Committee on Pacific Rail-
roads, reports favorably on either a six or
ten years extension Of time to complete
the N. P. r. r. During the past week
numerous copies of the Bismarck TR1-
BUNE of issue of April 2, containing the
able argument in favor Of such extension,
have been in circulation in the city
and several members of the
railroad committee have been seen by
your correspondent closely c]oistered, and
stuaiously di1ating upon the facts pre-
sented. 1t is hardly probable that any act
will be passed at this session, deciding
this matter of so much importance to Da-
kota. The house committee is unfavora-
bic to an extension of time, while the
Senate Committee has not thus reported,
and this matter may go over till the next
session. Much indignation is felt at the
manner in which the house committee
has used its knowledge Of railroad mat
ters, and bills pending before them, for
speculative purposes, and an investiga
ton is already whispered among friends
of the p r. r. When committee of
the American Congress turns its sessions
into secret meetings for their own self-in
tcrest, using their knowledge as commit
teemen, in buying and selling stock, it is
high time they were investigated. This
committee excluded their own clerk from
the meetings, in order to work their
points without any outsiders having
hand in. .... JUL1P.
