THE SECOND DISTRICT

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
With our brief residence in the
State We can hardly be expected to
express an opinion in regard to the
choice of representative FIR this
district. In looking over our ex-
changes, we find very many of them
quite outspoken in favor of the NOM
ination Of Hon. Gordon E. Cole.
We have also heard him spoken of
by several gentlemen who were per
sonally acquainted with him as being
in every respect eminently fitted to
represent this district i'll Congress
with credit to the district and State.
We can hardly overestimate the i'm.
portance this year of nominating a
man who will be elected by large
majority. This district, altho Ugh at
present represented by q Democrat,
is undoubtedly Republican, and the
nominee of the party should be the
man who can get the full Republican
vote, and something more.

For the past few weeks the name
of Senator Window has been quite
prominently before the country as a
possible dark horse, in case either
Grant or Blaine fails to secure the
nomination. The Winona Repub-
lic0n of the I'd inst. comes out in a
lengthy editorial on the presidential
question, and strongly advocates Mr..
WINDOWS claims as candidate.
The fact that the Republican, is pub
lished at Mr.. WINDOWS home rem
ders the article more significant, and
gives it the character of an author
lied announcement of his candidacy.

the people of Minnesota better than
to have her favoritc statesman nomi-

INTRODUCTORY.

The announcement made by Mr..
aIerriott, in the GAZETTE of last
week, has sufficiently prepared its
readers for the change effected in
its management. 1t is matter of
profound satisfaction to the incom-
ing publishers that they succeed a
gentleman who has always COM
manded the respect Of his readers,
both as editor and rs citizen. While
realizing that we cannot at once at
tain the position our predecessor has
won for himself, we here and now,
at the beginning of our responsible
relations to the subscribers and pat
rons of the GAZETTE, acknowledge
the duty We owe them to maintain
dts character for reliability and de-
cency.
Politically, the paper will remain
unchanged. We regard party ma
chinery as q means rather than an
end, and shall not consider it treason
to examine into the claims of meas
urcs or of candidates put forward
by any party.
Especial attention will be paid to
znatters affecting our county and
local interests. We shall be content
to represent rather than lead the
sentiments of those well-establishcd
lin the community, who are better
qualified to treat of such topics than
mere strangers can be. The columns
of ouripaper,vill always afford room
for communications relating to town
and county affairs, so long as they
are temperate and of general in
terest.
We desire to .h.sill up our own in
tercsts by fastening the development
of the country s.best us, and every
thing tending to that end, as we'll as
to the growth of good will and kind
illness among our fellow citizens, VIC
hold to be osir,duty to promote.

Red River Valley Illusions,

Henry J. Dyke, Jr., has contribu-
ted to the May number of Harper's
Magazine an exhaustive article on
the Red River Valley, the following
extract from which it will be well
for farmers living in this portion of
the State to read and consider be-
fore leaving here to begin life over
again in that bleak, inhospitablc re-
gion:
A great many lies have been told
about the Red River region-lies
proportionate to the size of the coun-
try. 1t may not be out of place here
to indicate few of them. The
water of this region is not good. In
the river it is muddy; in the wells it
is alkaline. The mosquitoes are
large, and active. For them, stone
walls do not prison make, nor iron
bars cage. They are burden;
and so, in certain seasons, is the
grasshoppcr.
The climate is not mild. In fact,
it is sometimes too cold for comfort,
in spite of the protection afforded
by the isothcrmal line. There is a
strange reluctance on the part of the
writer's who describe this country to
mention the figures marked by the
thermometer i'll winter. The inhab.
itants also show a consummate skill
in avoiding the subject.
''Prctty cold here in winter, eh?''
"Wa'al, yc-cs; it's co,d-but
he'lthyw
"Much snow?"
"Wa'al, no; ye see, it mostly blows
away"
"IIow low does the thermometer
Igo:"
"Wa'al, 1 dunno. Yc see, we live
indoors, an SO we keep our'n thar -
Another point on which the public
has been much deceived is the aver.
age yield of wheat. l asked very
intelligent gentleman the other day
what he supposed would be good
crop of wheat in the Red River Val
ley, and he answered, "Perhaps
sixty bushels to the acre." In point
of fact, forty bushels is an uncom-
monty fine yield, and the average is
not much above twenty bushels.
have before me the returns from two
Of the divisions of the Dalrymple
farms. The figures for the smaller
one are rs follows: 1888 acres in
wheat yield 63, 1870 bushels; 200 acres
in oats yield 7,64l bushels; 100 acres
in barley yield 1914 bushels.
The price Of land in the vicinity
of Casselton has rapidly increased
Railroad land is worth from $40 to
$40 an acre; and there is little of il
to be had. There is excellent Cover
mcnt land, some miles back from
the road, still unclaimed. Living is
dear. Fuel is scarce and high
Wood costs $3.50 a cord, and ccal
$40 a ton.
Over against all these disadvanta
ges you may set the simple fact thai
wheat can be raised here more easily
and more profitably than anywhere
else in the world. Here is leye
plain. It docs not need clearing, fol
there are no trees or stones; it doc.
not need fencing, for there are but
few cattle; and the herding law.
must always afford strict and suf
ficient protection. All that it is
necessary to do is to ''break" tho
prairie sod to a depth of three OF
four inches in the spring, "backset'
| it in the fall, and in the following
spring sow a bushel and half oil
wheat to the acre, and reap twenty
bushels at harvest.
