rae LAND OFFICE MEEr,H

In AccDrdaDce with the arrangement
perfected 1t the Dakota House last even
10y, the citizens aud business men IT thi!
village collected at Mr.. Wells office a
1880 o'clock this morning. f,r the pur
pose of further considering the wishes o
Valley City concerning the removal OF
the land Office from Fargo to that place
Mr.. Nickcus was called to the cilail
and Mr. Reeves appointed secretary. AZ
ter tue object Of the meeting had received
An intelligent airing, DR.. Coe, delegate
from Valley City, explained in clear and
san,iid manner, the desires Of his people
stating what assistance Valley City would
render to jamestown as . rev ard for theil
assistance st the present :ime. There
was marked desire an the part Of James
town to be On friendly terms with Valley
City aud 50 far " possible lend bel ping
hand whenever she could do 81 without
materially iojurlng herself. Our people
having but u short time since signed pc.
t,tion prs. ing that this same land office
reusaiu where it il, were not in u position
to sct 10 direct sccorj with Val.
ley City, however strongly they may have
desired u do 50. The reln wal Uf the
rYn land etlice is hA ~ important to
citiz.ns "f jamestown as Is the creation Vi
. new land district. II our Valley City
friends are sincere in their excuses to tree
themselves from Fargo. why would it not
be proper far them, - suggested BY Mr..
B-suuc At the meeting this morning, II join
jamestown in IN effort t. create . new dis.
,rics. Such acMrse would meet the ap-
proval Of cur citizens xnd they would
g.stlly join hands with her. After the
new district had been granted, then le.
citimste opp'rtuulty would occur for Val.
ley City to secure what she is Nv very un-
wisely, iu our opinion trying to grasp from
Fa,xo We want new iaud district first.
Next tie land Office five can get it. If
Valley City gets it all we'll and gad 1t
will oe no further from Jamestown to vsl
ley City than from Valley City to James
m~n We want to be friendly to Valley
City but VIC csnaot, in Justice to ourselves
aud c"nmun,ty. accept an invitation to cut
our swn head OF The price is high and
We cannot pay it.
The following resolution was introduced
by Mr. White: -

Jamestown alert. [volume] (Jamestown, Stutsman County, D.T. [N.D.]) 1878-1882, 1881-02-18

The Alert thus far has had but
little to ssy Of it.elf 1t has prefer
red to remain quiet and let its friends
and enemies do the talking while it
quietly and modestly proceeded to
fulfill its nission--to build up James
town and Stutsman county; to show
to the outside world that even on the
frontier there was such > thing a.
commercial s.&erpri.e, culture, intel
ligence and civilization. A little
more than one year ago The Alert
was virtually d.a'i. II could boast
Of neither enemies nor friends. Very
few seen,ed TO realize that it had an
existence, and still fewer cared how
soon that existence ceased. Such
wss the condition of this same Alert
one year ago last October. Those
who were here at that time known
that such vas the case, aud will back
the assersion. To-day the weekly
Alert is nearly double the size it was
then, aud from it has sprung daily
that contains-sm.l a. it is-more
live mstter each day than the
old paper did in . months publica-
ton put together. We have the files
and can prove it. Now, is this not
advancement? And is not James
town receiving, as we'll ourselves, the
benefit of our success? We have en-
dsayored to he independent, to run
our own machine. aud to be guided
by our own Judgment As we have
heretofore remarked, The Daily Alert
10 established to live. Yea, more than
live; it will grow, aud its enemies
will learn that those objects attained
by perseverance and honorable slnbi-
ton do not easily melt away. In con-
elusisn We desire to heartily thank
our friends and business men for the
liberal manner in which they have
searted out u support the little daily,
aud we earnestly hope their efforts IL
encourage NJ in our undertaking
will prove advantageous to them.

Bismarck Tribune: Hon. p. r.
Smith will return from Yankton this
evening. He retained his seat in the
council longer than could have been
expected Of republican legislature.
Does the Tribune man mean to in.
sinuate that the acts of our legiela-
ture we're not influenced by evi-
dence? Perhaps the Tribune had
bstter get of the fence, or pub
icly announce its intention to pub
ish an indepe,lrnt journal. This
trying to spark two girls at the same
time never did pay.

Why 60 west to purchase farm, enduring
hardships and priyations, when you can buy
all the land you need here at home, where
you have the advantage Of good society,
schools, churches, &C.? We know gentle
man of advanced years, who offers to sell one
or more farms, on long credit--in fact he
would prefer to have only the interest paid
in one of the best noighborhoods in the coun-
ty. This is an opportunity for some indus
trious. prudent, honest farmer to earn farm
and at the same time not deprive himself Of
the comforts of life, We will direct the right
kind of man to the owner of these farms on
application at this office.

SECRETARY OF STATE.-The Juneau
Telephone pays the following fine per-
sonal tribute to the integrity of Hon. E.
c. McFetridge;
The nearer the time approaches for
the holding of the Republican State
Convention that shall put in nomination
a ticket to be supported by the Republi-
can party of Wisconsin, the most promi-
nent appears the name of Hon E. c..
McFetridge for the position of Secretary
of State. A better nomination could
not be made from Republican ranks, as
Mr. McFetridge is one of the model
men of old Dodge, but the Scandinavian
element seems to have acquired the idea
that the Office of Secretary Of State, be-
longs by virtue Of their usual political
preferences to their nationality 1t takes
a long time to root out the idea of clan
ishness from among our foreign born vo-
ters We are all Americans and as such
should support the best men without
regard to the accidental fact that per-
son was born in one country or another.
Let integrity, honesty, promptness and
fair dealing govern the choice Of Con
ventions and Hon E. G. McFotridge
will be our next Secretary of State, and
will do credit to the position

WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1881,
THE PRESIDENT CONFALESC-
ING

For the past ten days the bulletins
from the Presidents bedside have been
eagerly read by an anxious nation. Day
by day they have grown more favor
able in tone, until now il is pretty safe to
say that President Garfield will not
die from the assassin's bullet. The
illustrious patient has, however had
a terrible struggle with the grim monster,
but his vigorous constitution and correct
habits of life have saved him. The ply
sicians do not appear to agree as to the 10
cation of the bullet, but it seems to be
pretty well established that 1t penetrated
the liver. Every symptom Of the wound
ed man is closely watched sby the physi-
clans in attendance, and every thing
which the skill and science of the 10Th
century can suggest or devise will be done
to restore the President to his former
health. That he may have many years
of usefulness vet vouchsafed him is the
prayer of every civilized nation of the
globe.
Guiteau. the would-be assassin, still
lies in Jail in Washington, lamenting that
his bullet did not do the deadly execution
he intended it should. Reporters are
not allowed to visit him, hence the pub
lie is spared the vagaries ola fiendish and
disordered mind. He seems very will
inc to talk to the few that have been ad-
mitted to him. Thorough investigation
his tailed to show that Guiteau had any
accomplices. IF the President should
live, accordingly to law, the severest pun
ishment that can be inflicted on Guiteau
is eight years in the penitentiary. We
are no believer in Judge Lynch as gener-
al thing buff Guiteau could quietly have
been strangied the morning of the assault,
the world be better off to-day. Already
lawyers. OF the shyster order, are offering
