Water Work. 5.

Mr.. E H. Bly,, j. W. Raymond, and sew
tcral other business men, have looked in
to the possibility Of sinking an artesian
we'll somewhere on section 33. The rail-
road will furnish ground enough for the
reservoir and if the we'll should prove q
success, as nine out of ten do, pipes could
be laid and every house in the city fur
nished with water. When the city be-
comes larger more extensive works can
be put in, the mains being already in
their places and of sufficient size to fur
nisll city of at least 100000 inhabitants.
1t is to be hoped that enough interest will
be taken in this matterto push the scheme
to success.

The Room Coming.

Capt. D. W. Maratta, of the Coulson
line of steamers, writes FROM Chicago to
a friend in Bismarck that the "boom" is
coming. He advises the purchase of
land anywhere in the vicinity of Bis
marck. He has met many business men
and capitalists and the officials of both
the North Pacific and Northwestern
roads. The latter is coming to Bismarck
sure. and the former will most likely
build machine shops at this point next
spring. Capt. J. G. Barr, of the Benton
line, has also awakened to the fact that
Bismarck will be a point next year, and
will buy Il couple of sections for specula-
ton aud two more for practical use, the
breaking to be done early next spring.
These gentlemen arc both east and have
means of knowing what they are about.
The fact is, Bismarck will boom.

BISMARCK ELEVATOR.
One to be Built Next Year, with a
CaDacity of 100000 Bushels.

The time for action has at last arrived.
Bismarck will slumber no more. Its fu-
ture is assured. The bridge is to be built
Immediately, and every man in the city
can but see a glorious future. Public
improvement should now be looked to.
Personal gain is made thereby. Among
the most important schemes discussed
and finally acted upon this week, has
been the building ola large elevator.
This year there was over $4,000 bushels
of wheat raised in this county, and no
place to store it except in individual
graineries An elevator that will hold
O0,000 bushels Of wheat will cost about
$4,000 or 10000. On this capital thi"-
ty per cent dividend can be realized: W.
+. Steele and j. w. Raymond have drawn
up the plans for such an institution, and
are now consulting the Northern Pacific
officials as to right, protection, ground,
etc. These gentlemen mean business.
There is money in it for. the stockhold-
ers, and still more will be realized by
farmers, who Will then have safe depos-
itory for their grain.

An E mcient officer.

Major Woods has been appointed fire
marshal as well as street commissioner,
and, as stated last week, in both positions
IS doing excellent service. Every house
in the city has been or will be examined
and steps necessary for safety will be re-
quired or the law applied to the greatest
possible extent Ashes and even sweep
ings are gathered every morning and
carted away, and every precaution Is TAX
en- to improve the appearance OF the city
and guard against fire.

where the snow-tipped peaks are ever
visible from the valleys through which
the North Pacific will wind its way, but
none of them are so grand as the Deer
Lodge Pass. Helena he found busy
place, but Butte was fully as lively and
about the same size. It was through
this country that high prices were found.
Five cents pound for oats and tive and
a half cents for hay, was considered
reasonable price by the ranchers.
FERTILE VALLEYS
innumerable were found, and of consider
ble extent. After leaving Glendive, irriga-
ton IS necessity. East of thatpoint, crops
may be considered sure without artificial
moisture, but west of that point for 800
miles there is seldom drop of rain ex-
cept in the valleys, yet the General con:
siders this land fully as good as that of
Dakota and eastern Montana. Irrigated
crops have, by the specimens of cereals,
vegetables, etc., sent east, proven to be the
best on the line. With irrigation, mois-
ture can be obtained just when it is
needed and in quantity to suit the re-
quirement of the crop. The lnnumerable
springs, streams, ETC., in the mountains
afford abundant resources for artificial
watering, and at a nominal expense. In
Washington territory the air IS moist in
the early season, but very dry IN the lat
ter part. Here the chief engineer was
shown specimens of hard wheat, grown
without dror of rain. AT Portland, in
October, flowers were in bloom and fruit
Of different KINGS were ripening.
IN THE MOUNTAINS
comparatively little snow was encoun-
tered, and it is the Generals belief that
once build in good manner the Northern
Pacific through the Rockies, will
be much easier to keep in repairand free
from snow than the Dakota and Missouri
divisions. Game of all kinds is abun-
dant. One day in September an Indian
came into the camp of the engineers
party and impaired the information that
there were seven grizzlies just over the
bluff a mile distant. The General is
quite fond of hunting, but he did not
want sport Of that magnitude, and the
bears were left in charge of the red man.
Good water was found at nearly every
place. The immense business
which is sure to greet the North Pacific
upon its completion can scarcely be re-
allied. The great grazing lands of Mon
tana and the rich deposits of min eral will
be opened to the world, and the road and
the country enriched thereby. Gen An
derso on is looking exceeding we'll, and,
though fearing the sudden rise in stocks
is but temporary, eXpressrs utm ost conf
dence in the road and its prospects.
