An OpeningfOr a Newspaper.

! George E, Dudley, Of Corning, Iowa,
writes THE TRIBUNE to know where
there is an opening for a newspaper
on the lire of the North Pacific, or a
chance to purchase half interest in a
well established paper. Mandaa presents
the best opening. 1t is live,. 60 ahead
tow, as everyone of its people feels
that theirs is to be the comm g city of the
great northwest, and it surely will be at
NO distant day a city Of several thousand
inhabitants. The people IN Mandan
would take pride in and encourage in
every way possible a good, reliable news
paper. They would be liberal in their
advertising, and would extend largely
their Job accounts The present outfit,
which is wholly inadequate to the wants
Of the city, might be purchased, perhaps,
or a new paper started without regard te
it. Six pages of the present paper are
patent and the other two are made up
without column rules. There is neither
enterprise or common sense showed in
the management of the paper, as will be
seen from the specimen copy sent, which
is really an unusually good number. Mr..
Dudley, or any other person looking for
on. opening, is by alimeans recommended
to visit Mandan and look the ground
over.

The Minstrels.

The Arlington Minstrel company last
evening played to large audience, and
gave first class entertainment. There
are but one or two specially artists in the
com bination, but the company as whole
pretentions. The jokes were all OF the
very latest, and there was sparkle and
vivacity to every act that kept the audi
ence in the best of humor. The Plnafore
burlesque is the best ever produced, and
Billy Arlington is whole show in him
self. Another performance is TO be given
this evening. @ta4

prices than any other wheat. MOorhead
is another city on the opposite bank of
the river, though not quite 80 large is
somewhat similar t" Fargo, from which
fact they are sometimes called the dual
city. The people of Fargo are enter
prising, liberal in business and justly
proud of their growing city. 1t contains
some of the largest agricultural machin-
cry and other manufactures west of Chi
cago. Near here is situated the great
Dalrymple Farm, containing $4,000 acres,
10000 of which are under cultivation and
5000 more being broken.
Eastern people can hardly form an idea
Of such farm and to see this alone is
worth considerably more than the price
of the fare, butthink of it, 700 men con-
tinually employed, and this year 300
reapers were required to cut the grain
grown upon it.
JAMESTOWN
or as it is mere familiarly known as "Jim
town." on the James river, is obout one
hundred miles northwest of Fargo, and
like all towns out here is rapidly growing
and filled with an industrious, enterpris-
ing population which is daily on the in
crease. Lots which could be bought a
year or two since for mere song are
now rapidly advancing to figures of $10O,
$500 and $500, though land in the vicin-
ity can for a short time be bought cheap
or even pre.empted. There are many
more points Of interest between James
town and Bismarck as we'll as immense
wheat farms.
find a most prosperous city Of $500 in
habitants, with good schools, churches
and society, and by no means the Wild
frontier town supposed by many to be-.
The city is beautifully located on rising
second bench, about one mile from the
mighty Missouri river, which is naviga-
BILE for large steamboats, 1900 miles
northwest to Ft. Benton, Montana. There
are twenty-five steamboats, plying be-
tween this point and points above during
navigation. Last year they carried over
40, 100000 pounds of government and pri-
vate freight from Bismarck to the va
rious military posts and towns on
the Upper Missouri and Yellow
stone rivers. The town is growing G
rapidly and at least 200 buildings have
been erected this year. One is impressed
with the life and activity of the people in
Bismarck. All is life and stir and real
estate booms are whispered in your ear
on every side. Property has increased in
value 100 per cent. during the past six
months and IS increasing rapidly all the
time Good land can still be had by pre-
emptors and homesteaders ten and twelve
miles from the city. Bismarck is a
metropolis and destined to become the
greatest commercial centre of North Da-
kota.
BEAUTIFUL LAKES.
Before closing I must not omit to
mention briefly the beautiful lakes con-
tiguous to the cities of St. Paul and Mn
neapolis. There are number of them,
the principal being White Bear Lake and
Minnetonka. Both are fashionable wa
tering places, and are supplied with the
best hotels, and have all the conveniences
for driving, boating, bathing, fishing, etc.
that pertain to moro eastern summer re-
sorts, with the added comforts of refined
society from all parts of the United States,
and freedom and "do as you please
