Get Possession OF Land.

The possession Of land means
power. The ownership Of the soil
they cultivate is the basis Of that
influence which makes peoples and
races powerful and respected. It
begets pernanency Of pursuits, de-
cision Of character, self-respect, and
thrifty habits. Men who own their
homes in city or village, or who
own the land they till are lucasur-
ably independents, socially, finan-
cially and politically. The Ger
mans and Scandinavians have ii
strong earth. hunger, and make lit
tie account Of years of privation
and hardship when the prize is
dominion over a tract Of broad
acres. The Irish emigrant has
shown more decided tendency to
lingcr in the perlieus Ut the large
cities. But anyone who has visited
settlement Of Irish farmers III
this country must have been struck
by the solidity and comfort OF their
surroundings, contrastcd with the
squalor 80 often prevalent among
their countrymen who have been
caught in the seductive webs Of the
great cities. In good times like the
present the material condition of
the laborer and mechanic may be
more tolerable if he abide in the
city, than would be the first few
years of frontier life while estab-
fishing himself on the land. But
in the end the gain is vastly in favor
of the latter course. A man who
owns piece Of land is like an oak
that has taken root in the soil, fur.
nishing nourishment and protection
to all the domestic and civic v!r-
tues a man who has no share ill
the country and the soil resembles
plant in flower pot, moved hith-
er and thither by the will Of others,
and liable to be hlown over and
bruised by every passing storm.
When Bob lngersoll breaks away
from his abominable philosophy, he
can talk most excellent sense, as
witness the following paragraph
touching the reactive influence of
home-ownership upon character
, "Therc can be no such thing in
the highest sense, as a home, unless
you own it. There must be all in
centive to plant trees, to beautify
the ground, to preserve and improve.
It elevates a man to own home.
It gives cersain Independence, q
certain force of character that is
obtained in no other way. A man

DAKOTA'S MISFORTUNE.

The necessity Of fDakota $ having
an intelligent and respectable repre-
sentation i'll Washington is becom
lag strikingly apparent. Thus far,
Nh. Pettigrew, our alleged repre-.
sentative, has done Dakota no good,
but has done it a great injury.
The course that he has taken has
not been one that man of good
Judgment and honest convictions
would be likely to pursue. Probab-
ly there is not business man in
Jamestown who could not secure
more favors for Dakota, through
congress than the man who is so
unworthily dubbed Hon. r. r.
Pettigrew He has proven by his
own acts that he is not looked upon
by the respectable or intelligent
element at Washington in any
other light than that of a political
dead beat. Dakota's position be-
fore the world, SO far as politics are
concerned, is, and has been. ever
since Mr.. Pettigrew and N. G. Ord
way came into office, exceedingly
humiliating, and her people are
getting weary OF their leaders and
are looking forward to the time
when they can give their positions
to men Of greater intelligence and
better address.

A Dakota Barn.

Gray Brothers have flashed their new
barn at their stock farm, Spiritwood lake,
its size and arrangements deserving more
than passing notice. 1t is 5Ox1Oo in
size, contains fifty stalls, four of which
are box, has 4 cellar under The entire
length, has water inside and perfect
system Of ventilation. During one of the
coldcst nights last week the thermometer
stood at 81, or just at freezing. 1t cost
up into the thousands and IS probably one
Of the best barns in Northern Dakota,
and the very best for the purpose for
which il WAS built, that of stock raising.
The barn is filled at present, containing
Al brood mares, par of mules and
jack. Peter Aubertin did the work and
the Grays express themselves as well
pleased with his work and that of his
foreman, Mr.. O'Conncr The mares are
all blooded stock brought from Pennsyl-
vania, and the jack came from Kentucky.
The Grays say they will bring back an
other lot of stock next spring and 4 simi-
lar barn vii! be bHilt next fall, With our
fine hay and excellent water there is no
obstacle to prevent this becoming the
greatest stock as well as the greatest
wheat country in the world.

Boom Your Town,

It naturally becomes the important
duty of every inhabitant Of any new
country to assist iu making its advan.
tages and opportunities known to the
outside world. The man who is un
willing to do anything to assist in
building a country up, is i'll tho opin
ion Of the Alert supremcly unfit to
be resident oft. There is not a
man i'll the country however poor
or ignorant he may be, who cannot,
if so disposed, do something to help
the boom along. Had the citizens
of this county united in grand
boom for Stutsman county last win.
ter instead Of sitting around their
respective fire sides, waiting for
something to turn up'' Stutsman
county would undoubtedly contain
one third more people than it does
at the present time. In orde to
get people to leave their homes in
the east and come west, you must
convince them that theiris something

Get Them yaccinated.

1t is about time the school officials
awakened to the Importance of having the
entire school vaccinatcd. Although. there
IS no small pox as yet in Jam estown, it is
fact that it is all around us, and no ono
can tell how soon jamestown may be af-
fiicted with the terrible scomge If there
are any who are sending their children to
school, who arc not able to pay the
expense of vaccination, it becomes tho
moral duty of the officials of the county
to see that they are attended to at the ex-
pense of the county. In case some Of
these people who arc to poor to pay for.
vaccination take the small pox, the county
will necessarily have to take care Of
them, and the expense will prove to be
greater than it would have been to pay for
vaccination i'll the first place. Tie Alert
hopes that those who arc authorized to
take this matter in hand, will lose no time
in pnssing this timely warning into effect.
