It has been int1mated by several that
great many who were intending to come to
jamestown will fail to put in an appear
ance on account of having heard so much
about the disagreeable weather we have
experienced this winter. If this Is true
We are glad of it. We would much rather
jamestown and Stutsman county would
develop by natural growth, than to have
it develop in single season as has been
the improbable experience of other
western cities. We notice that those who
are here now, are we'll enough satisfied
and could not be induced to go back to
the states under any circumstances. The
laboring man will not 60 for the simple
reason that he can earn three times the
amount of money here that he could
in the east. The merchant stays because
he can sell more goods here than in NEST
eastern towns and get cash for them.
Carpenters are satisfied because they have
work the year around and get from $3.50
y
to $3.50 per day. The printer is slayer
because he can make living and is paid
tor what he does without erumble, while
in the east he is jewed down, grumbled ut
and then asked to take potatoes, cabbage
and other garden plunder for pay. We've
been there, but if God will forgive US, we
will never do it Iagain. An occasional
blizzard in Dakota is not half 80 bad, in
our estimation, as perpetual beggary in the
states. II man has good horse sense,
plenty of pluck and is not afraid of owls
he can make lots Of money in Dakota. If
he has not, he had better stay in the east
with his relatives. He would starve
here.

JAMESTOWN AS a DIVISION:

Since the late blockade between this
point and Bismarck, as well as between
this point and Fargo the necessity Of
making jamestown dividing point for
trains both east and west is more apparent
than ever. It mast be admitted that had
jamestown been furnished with more
commodious roundhouse than it now has,
and been made regular dividing boint
for all freight trains, the work of keeping
the road open would have been compare
lively light to what it has been. In the
first place had the division been so
arranged and suitable snow pillow been
furnished for each division. the company
could have worked to greater advantage
than they could possibly work under any
other conceivable arrangement. Such an
arrangement would enable crews Of men
with snow bncking outfits to work both
east and west at the same time, enabling
them, ifproperly equipped to clear both
divisions in less than half the time it takes
to do it at present. Now they are az
usual thing compelled to contine their
labor to same particular cut, (for instance
the one near Eckelson,) while those be.
tween this point and Bismarck are loft
untouched and by the time they have pene-
trated tho Eckelson cut and cleared Others
equally as bad between here and Fargo,
those between us and Bismarck have be-
come SO full and hard that one could not
drive hole through them with a pile driv>
er when it might have been removed with
comparative ease had the work been
commenced in time.
