REASONS FoR the OPINION.

The NEws would inform the Tuscarora
Times. Rsvisr that It is because the IN.
coustitutionality Of lottery bills in this
state has already been determined BY
our Supreme Court that 1t has no doubts
a. to the upconstitutionality Of the lot
terry bill Of the "sminsntly respectable
gentlemen" And. the News would
also say that. It is the lottery supporters
who have tried to force the situation,
not the opponents Of lottery schemes.
All the pressure which was sIsrtsd upon
the Legislature. and has been eIsrtsd
elsewhere, came from the lottery sup
portsrs, not from those who would sus-
tain the organic Law Of the State. The
opponents Of lotteries have no money to
spend in attempts to subsidizs the press;
they cannot make contingent promises
Of thousands Of dollars' worth Of adver-
Using to trucking newspapers.
But to show the Times. Reuisio that the
News has good grounds for its opinion
that the Constitution means what It says
when II declares that ''no lottery shall
be authorized by this State. nor shall
the sale Of lottery tickets be allowed"

TIE BANANA BELT.

During the winter Of ls79-SO when
the Northern Pacific suffered some
inconvenience from the snow drifting
on its track, the Union Pacific, Sioux
City and other rival railroad corpo-
ratons did their best to show the
people of the east that we were living
IN a country likely to be showed in
for six months in the year.
During the past winter the North
ern Pacific has only failed in one or
two instances to deliver our mail
each day, the same as though we had
been enjoying the genial rays of a
summers sun, while these roads that
boasted so much of the beauties of
their country have been compelled
to abandon their trains during the
whole winter, and have only just sue
ceed in getting them through.
This fact should be presented to
the people of the east in manner
giving them to understand that our
experience of lS79-sO was an excep-
ton, and there is little probability of
its repitition, as the company is we'll
prepared to cope with the storms of
winter, and we in Dakota enjoy as
pleasant, in fact, more pleasant
weather than those living in South
ern Dakota and Iowa.
The energetic commissioner of the
Sioux City road advertises the fact
that "when a man gets where corn
won't grow he is long way from
home" The proposition would not
be true ifapplied to Dakct., but even
to admit it as a fact, we still have an
advantage, for on the fertile lands of
Northern Dakota we can raise enough
wheat on an acre to buy an acre of
their corn, and then have more money
left than they would realize for their
corn. SO we say to those intending
t. cast their lot in the far west:
Come where You can raise good |
bread and Il, catlle. and W.T. a small |
port IN Of your profits You can buy
all the corn and pork they raise on
those laads where malarial fevers and
snow blockades do most abound,

In view Of the general progress Of
the country and especially the James
Valley, thousands of immigrants
from all over the country are pour
ing in, and farmers invariably take to
wheat raising as means by which
they can pay for their farms and pro.
vide for their sustenance. Wheat is
the staple product in Northern Dako-
ia, but it is becoming evident that it
will not do to devote whole farms to
wheat crops year after year, as it
wears out the land and necessitates a
change of crop. Looking forward to
the time when it becomes necessary
to look to some other product to
bring out the possibilities of this fer.
tile soil; an industry which is very
important to the markets Of the
United States, and indeed the whole
world comes into the consideration
Of farmers, as being not only possible
but eminently probable in this land
Of wonders. The dairy products Of
Of Wisconsin and Northern Illinois
have nearly supplied the world tor
several years ard those countries
have become famous for the SUPER
ior quality Of butter and cheese which
they produce. In the experiments
that have been made in North Dako.
ia, west Of the Red River, the best
results have been experienced, and it
has been made obvious that the finest
product Of this kind can be made.
A serious impediment to the ad-
vance Of the dairy business in the
Red River Valley is the water,
which is impregnated with alkai and
the taste Of which is very of.nsive
in butter. But west of that point
the objection is removed. The wa
ter of the James River Valley is clear
and cold, and may be distinguished
from the water of the east by its
sweet taste. We have also in this
valley any amount of splendid grass,
and Hungarian and timothy hay can
be grown with good results. Cool
nights favor the manufacture of but
ter and we see no reason why the
James River Valley cannot be filed
with cheese factories aud with cream
cries. This industry must be made
n time another characteristic of the
Golden Northwest.

The Alert with it's customary
enterprise presents t. IT, readers to-
lay, the tir.'t correct map ever pub
'a>hed, Of the railroad situation in
North Dakota. Leading always, fol-
lowing never, the Alert has been t.,
great trouble and n,siderable ex.
pense, in collecting the information
necessary to en,b!e 1t to lay before
It's patrons a map as nearly correct
aud reliable as it is possible to mike
one. twill be understood that The
Alert does not guarantee the bui ding
Of all these proposed lines Of road nor
the time within which they shall be
constructed, but we can assure our
readers that our sources Of informa
ton are Of such nature that our
views are not based upon mere sur
mise. On three of the lines shown
upon our map, the survey has already
been made and on the fourth the route
has been carefully examined and re-
ported f.vorably. The region Of
country through which these road
are projected is the most inviting o
Any not already occupied in the west,
while the Topography of the land
makes railway construction easy and
inexpensive.
The soil is uniformly rich and pro-
,1uctive, easily titled and well water
ed. With the reputation now 50 well
established for North Dakota these
roads can hardly build as rapidly as
the contiguous country along their
lines will settle up. and they will
commence to pay almost from the
day of their completion. 1t is an
acknowledged fact that the aggregate
Of all the good grain land between
the Missouri river and the Rocky
Mount ,ins does not equal the amount
now tributary to the James River
Valley and which will be opened up
to settlement by the completion of
these projected roads.
And now what will the completion
of these roads do for jamestown?
1t will make the greatest wheat re-
gion of the world, both in quality
and extent, tributary to this town.
This will become the distributing
point for thousand miles of road or
10000 square miles of country. 1t
will assure to jamestown the capital
of North Dakota and the political
and commercial supremacy over the
same territory. And while consid-
ering the vast benefits to be derived !
from this source, We must not forget !
that to the railroads will belong
most of the credit and that t. secure
railroads uniformly just and equi-
table policy toward them is necessary
in return. Had the unjust and
law proposed at Yankton
this winter, passed, there would have

been IN end to railroad building in
Dakota for years to come, at least.
Tie Alert happens to know that
the railroad companies consider the
greater share of the credit for the de-
feat Of the bill to S,utsman county's
represent .tive, and the fact that the
people of this county heartily sup
ported their representative in the
course taken by him on this measure,
has engendered a very kindly feeling
toward this town and county on the
part Of the railroad companies, a
sentiment from which we are sure
to pr oft.

son, we are receiving large additions
to our population every day; and we
have seen letters from most every
part of United States and Canada, in
which the writer's speak Of whole
colonies about to start for Dakota,
and many Of them destined for the
James River Valley. With Stuts-
man county settled as thickly as it
will be in the near future, it is to re-
alize what the future Of jamestown
may be.
The great want Of jamestown to-
day is some place to put the large
addition we are receiving to our pop
ulation. At the present time those
having buildings to rent, receive
about 25 per cent.net, on their invest
ments, and at the same time get the
benefits of an advance of SO to 100
per cent. in the value Of their lots.
There is no better opportunity in the
whole Northwest, than is presented
right here in jamestown for men to
reap large return on the investment
of capital, by erecting dwellings for
tenants. With the prospects of
bright future, there is every reason
te believe that money invested in
building will bring large return for
years to come, and there is no reason
why it should not prove good in
vestment. Those who desire to
build for speculation will always
6nd opportunities to sell at good
profit on their investment.

See Him Double.

Occasionally it happens that the
newspapers pick up joke on some
unsuspecting citizen, but it very
rarely happens that such jokes are
double. In the ordinary "course OF
human events" one joke at time is
about as much as it is supposed that
the average man can carry and bear
up under, and, as rule, the JOUR-
NAL is accustomed (perhaps more a
little than it ought to be) to let these
things go, but local news is little
scarce just at this present writing,
and we are under no special obliga.
tions to keep quiet on this occasion.
One of our hunters went out one day
last week, and seeing a flock of
geese in the air, shot at it. We
didn't hear whether anything fell or
not, but the inference is that the
flock was SO near to cover that he
didn't know for sure whether he had
killed goose, but supposed that he
had. Anyhow, he walked toward
where he saw a goose fluttering, and
seeing young granger lad standing
by and trying to gather in the game,
he shouted and swore at him furi-
ously to lay down that goose-that
it was his. at isn't yours" said the
boy. "Blank, blank you it is mine,
and you lay 1t down or I'll-you."
"Now, look here" said the boy,
"this trap is mine, and in il l have
caught this goose, and of course the
goose is mine" Our hunter saw
that he was in for it, but told the
boy that he must have the bird for a
decoy, and literally bulldozed it
away from the boy for a quarter.
After bringing his game home, he
clipped its wings equally and turned
it out to Craze. The last he saw of
the noble bird, il was making good
its escape, with downy wings, and
our hunter didn't have time to run
after his gun. II any further partic-
ulars are wanted inquire of Maurice
Dunsford.
