Which Means that Klaus Block is to be
Occupied by Mrs. Pierce rs q
Hotel.
The Name of Which is to be the North.
western.

Just as the Alert predicted sometime
ago there is no telling where this boom
would eud. A town like jamestown sur
rounded by all the advantages nature can
possibly bestow, possesses marvellous capa-
bilities which when once fully developed
cause it's admirers to stand aghast. The
material for the latest boom comes in the
shape of another first class hotel, and it
is authoritatively stated that Mrs. Pierce,
formerly of the railroad eating house at
Glyndon, Mimi, will appear on the boards
as boss and proprietor of the new institu-
ton The building to be occupied by this
new, and soon to be much needed concern,
is none other than Klaus elegant block on
Main street. Changes will be made by
the present occupants, Mr.. Elmer moving
into his new building, Mr.. Doolittle going
into Mr.. Elmer's present quarters, the va
cant store being used as an Office. Mr..
Klaus who occupies portion of the block
with his office and family will go-well he
doesn't know where, but it is safe to say
he will find place. He informs the Alert
that if it shall appear necessary in early
spring time to put another story on the
whole block he shall do so, or make such
other Improvements as may be needed.
Mr. Klaus is bound that jamestown shall
have all required improvements, even if
he has to make them himself.
With three good hotels in jamestown
she will doubtless be fully able to accom-
modatc all who may choose to come within
her gates for year to come.

A Worthy Object Of Charity.

A case deserving the Immediate atten-
ton of the charitably disposed people of
jamestown has just come to the notice of
the Alert. Last Spring Mr.. 81. J. Rcmer
came to his place from Germany with
his family of wifi an six children, only
two girls Of whom are old enough to earn
anything. On the passage over Mr.. Rs-
man WAS takon sick, and has been confined
to his bed ever since his arrival here, him
self and the yeurger children requiring
the constant attention of his wife, he two
grown daughters having supported the
family by their l:hors. One of these girls
who has been empl ,ycd at the Dakota
Horse died last we, k ami the family are
left i'll an extremely destitute condition.
Money with which purchase groceries and
fuel for the winter, and clothing for the
wife and children arc sadly needed, and
some of th. good ladies who have done
so much in similar cases should ut once
Investigate and interest themselves in this.
Subscription papers have been prepared,
and arc in the hands of several of our bus :
mess men, who will be glad to receive
contributions for the relief of this family.

p IT HAS CONE!
The james River National Bank An.
other Boom for jamestown.

Believing that more banking capital
would MD materially i'll the development
of all the legitimate industries Of the
James River Valley and attract to this
natural centre, business that would not
otherwise come, a few of the leading cltl-
zcns met last evening in the Office OF Mr..
E. Z. Wells and subscribed the capital and
completed the organization Of the james
River National Bank. At this meeting it
was decided that this institution shall be
open for business on or before the first day

Seventy five thousand brick have been
purchased with which to build solid
substantial brick banking house, twenty
four by seventy feet in size, with double
vaults. The plans are already prepared
and this building promises to he the finest
of its kind in Northern Dakota. A S2,-
400 burglar proof safe with time lock, the
vault doors, books and blanks are pur-
chased and are now on the way. The
James River National starts out with
capital of $G5, 200 all paid in, and an au-

.on,o of tho inHnentia

Some of the influential papers
that have abused President Arthur
ever since the commencement of the
administration Of Hayes, are now
laying down a course of action for
the president to follow. He is no.
titled that an attempt to use his own
discretion as to who he may consid-
er proper persons for Office will re-
suit in incurring their displeasure,
to say the least. They do not pre-
terd to announce the catastrophe
that may occur if their wishes are
not consulted. 1t is our opinion
that the public will find in Presi-
dent Arthur a man with a will of
his own. He will endeavor to ad :
minister the government in the in
terests of the people, regardless of
faction or party, and if he receives
the support due him will give us an
administration that will compare
favorably with any of his predeces-
sors. 1t is the duty of all to give
their active support, and assist him
in his arduous task.

At the recent republican conven

At the recent republican conven-
tion in st. Paul Judge Vanderburg' s
adherents brought him into bad odor
with some Of his former friends, by
heir corrupt action in trading for
his nomination as judge of the su-
prcme court. Heretofore the judge
has been held in high estimation by
the bar, but the action of his so
called friends will cause a division
in the republican ranks and as the
democratic convention has nomi-
mated present incumbents, who hold
their positions through republican
votes, it will be hard matter for
Vanderburg to attain his object.
There seems to be but one way to
remove the corrupt influences con-
nected with the election of
judicial officers and that is to hold
separate elections for that purpose.

One thing that should interest

One thing that should interest
he business men Of Jamestown is
the subject of protection from fire.
There is no disputing the fact that
Il hand engine is needed. The diff
ference paid in premiums by our
property holders and business men
on insurance premiums over
what they would have, with some
protection from fire amounts to
more than the cost of an engine,
every year. A little bit of life in
fused into some of our village coun-
Gil would do no harm. A fire here
might cause great suffering and it
is our duty to make an effort to
lesson the liability as much as pos
sible.

The floods in the west have done
much damage; in Wisconsin, espec-
tally, the lumber and other interests
along the streams have suffered, in

The prospect is that our mechanics
will be employed all winter, owing

the coming spring will see more

before in Jamestown. In fact our
growth will be dated in the future
from that time. Indications point
that Way.
