New Depot and Freight House.

Probably no improvement has been
made in jamestown during the present
season that bears with it more signi-
canoe than does the change Which has
taken place in our depot. The fact that
Our people have been put to many incon-
vcniences in consequence of great lack
of freight and passenger house accomoda-
tions, enables them to more fully appre.
ciate the worth Of the present arrangement
The old freight and passenger house hav-
ing been moved to an appropriate spot just
opposite the Dakota House, has been re-
built and fitted up for passenger depot,
exclusively. A commodious and stylishly
adorned ticket and telegraph Office is Sit
uated directly between the ladies aud
gents waiting rooms. This Office is oc-
cupied by our attentive and efficient tele-
graph manager, who under the late arrang
ment, has charge of the ticket case in
connection with the telegraphiny.
Cn the spot where the old depot stood
an extensive freight house has been built.
which is encircled by high platforms, MAX
ing it very convenient for receiving OF
discharging freight.

The following editorial, clipped from
the Press and Dakotian, affords some very
sensible ideas touching upon the divi.
sion question:
Ifthe people Of southern Dakota desire
admission to the union of states, and their
expressions seem to think that they do, it
will be necessary to take preliminary steps
during the coming session Of the legisla-
,ure or submit to delay Of two years
more. The courts have practically held
that, under our organic act, the governor
has no authority to Call an extra session
of the legislature of Dakota, hence tho
constitutional convention can only be
called at regular biennial session. The
incoming leg Stature cun, without any &c
ton on the part of congress, designate
the time and place ior a constitutional
convention, fix the membership there +,
and provide for AL election Of delegates
to the convention This convention can
meet and adopt constitution and pro-
vide for its ratification by tue people and
the election Of representative at gen
eral election 1t can elect two senators
and prepare a petition to congress asking
tor admission aud for certain grants of
land It. can also locate the state capital.
Should congress act tavolably upon the
fledged at once. The other course Of pro.
ccedure is for congress to tr.t pass an en-
abing act. Afterwards the territorial
legislature calls u Constitutional cOnven-
tiou and the process Indicated above gone
through With In this case it is ot prob
able that congress Will recognize the
claims of Dakota early enough this winter
to procure the necessary legislative action
and unless the Legislature takes initiative,
two years must elapse before the desiled
end can be accomplished. These two
years will be valuable nnes in the history
Of Dakota. Land seekers and home seek
ers will ttrong our praries and the foun-
latlons of communities, villages and cities
will be huils During this rush Dakota
should have land to dispose Of for the
purpose Of creating public fund.
If the present congress takes hold of
the Dakota admission project it will be
for the purpose Of admitting the the ter
ritory as one state, thus providing places
for two senators and one representative,
instead of four and two. Such scheme
should be opposed to the utmost, as it
would prove injurious to our future inter
ests and would materially retard the pro.
gress of both sections. The members Of
the legislature which is to assemble in
January, should come prepared to make
these su ,ects the work of the session.
There is little needed in the way Of gen.
cral legislation and the 40 days can be no
more profitable employed than in arr ang
ing for the changc which is to come.

A road, it is rumored, is being laid
out, running directly north from Grand
Rapids to Spiritwood. 1t Is ALSO stated
in connection that the good people. of
Grand RAPIDS aud La Mour county intend
to give all their trade to. epiritwood a.
as early date as possible. that they may
pay off long standing grudge against
Jamestown whose people, they claim, did
n OF treat them with due respect last
spring. Just how much Jamestown would
be damaged or Spiritwood benefited by
a tultillment of the proposed scheme, is \
problem which at the present time would
be very difficult to solve. But it must
appear clear, even to the agrieeed citizens
Of Grand Rapids, that La Mour county
would be greatly damaged, besides being
greatly discommoded by the operation.
Spiritwood, like Grand Rapids, exists as
yet only in name, but Ike many other
hamlets in the West. have bright pros
poets and well grounded hopes OF growth.
In their infancy they must receive uourish
ment from more mature sources than lie
within themselves, If they would prosper
and grow strong. Tile idea of Grand
Rapids depending on Sp;ritwood as its
commercial center Is too funny for my
thing. You might as we'll undertake To
raise two infants by letting one nurse the
other.

WASHING ron.
special Correspondence to The Alert.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ~.
There is especially in tbs south, bat
also to great extent in other portions,
an unexpected unanimous confidence in
General Gaiield's wish and ability to
settle permanently all the vexatious sec.
tional questions which have occupied the
time o. several sessions of congress anl
kept one part of the county 'solid'
against another. This confidence Is strong
here: where the quarrel is better known
even than in his own State AS said
above, it is also strong in the south. If
the Cabinet lie selects and the policy he
announces in his inaugural shall be such
al to those who thus show him the high
est proof Of their good opinion, see no
reason why the next four years should not
be the beginning Of an extended ''ern Of
good feeling" OF which the like has not
been seen in two generations. The great
prosperity of the country, as shown in
the auuusl reports of the cabinet an bu-
reau officers, sill aid in the accomplish
ucnt Of such patriotic work. s.9 .....r
The inaugural procession and ball on
March 4th, promises to be better arranged
than ever before The work of prepara-
ton, after quarrel among the politicians
has been contded to non-pa rtisan COM
mittes of citizens, and the enormous
crowds of people who are sure to come
will be we'll provided for. Twelve
years ago an unfinished portion of the
Treasury building was used for the pur-
pose of the bail, aud eight years ago, q
temporary structure. On both occasions
there was the utmost discom6t. The
failure was complete. Four yesrs ago,
little was done. On the next 4th of
March, however, the new national mu-
scum building, ample in size, and perfect
ly adapted to the purpose, will be occu-
pied Ladies and gentlemen from every
State and Territory will be there, ard
all may be assured of welcome and a
thoroughly good time.
A curious fact is shown by census re-
port just made Out of $52S, 100000
registered four per cent. United States
bonds, only $1,000. 900 are owned outside
Of this country, and, of $l70,O00, 900 four
and halt per cents, only $5,000,000
are thus owned. The proportion may
not hold good, as to coupon bonds but is
signifant as sho~irg to what wonderful
extent our financial condition has changed
in few years. We may now be said to
have very little foreign debt, and what
there is, is being rapidly wiped out.
Speculation as to Cabinet appointments
by President Garfield are many, but he is
himself authority for tue statement that
all of :hem are mere guess work. The
only one upon which every body seems
agreed is that Secretary Sherman may, if
he chooses. retain his place In the Treas
ury. Even of that have Teen unable to
learn that the coming President has given
any assurance.

Equality of Taxation.

Mr.. EDITOR: The farmers of Yer.

tunate, and their great misfortune is
this they are compelled by circum-
stances to pay much larger amount
of taxes in proportion 10 their wealth
than sny other GLASS of people in this
State, for the reason that all of their
property, both real and personal. Is too
bulky to hide, and it is put on the list
to be taxed each year find that
there was a decrease in the appraisal
of personal property between the lists
OF 1878 and 1879, amounting to
81, 469,5 800. These figures show that
personal property that can be hidden
is not to be taxed in Vermont by the
party that has for years Leen running
this unjust taxing machine, with its
iron heels and ponderous wheels grind
ing the farmers to dust and taking the
bread from their children. | hope
that the farmers will vote for men at
the coming election ttat will build a
new taxing machine that will hold and
convey personal as well as real prop
erty to the tax list to be taxed.
The machine that ] would recon-
mend would be law that would COM
