PACIFIC RAILROAD COM.
PANY.
Gen. Managers Office, I
Ct Dn,,l 0o,,k 1901 {

Nv. l. dul, hocI)U. y, 1901. J
Circular No. 12D
A report just received from the
Purchasing Agent, shows that the
Northern Pacific Railroad Compa-
ny has not sufficient supply Of
wood on hand for the use of engines
during the coming winter. It will
therefore be difficult for the compa-
ny to furnish supplies of wood for
settlers.
It will be expedient for parties
who are engaged in the business of
selling wood or coal at stations, to
see that the proper supplies are pro-
vided and stored up for the coming
winter, and the company will trans
port such fuel at reasonable rates.
This notice is given that settlers
and others may not depend upon
the Railroad for their supplies, but
will make all their own arrange
ments before it is too late.
Agents at the several stations on
the line, are requested to make par
ticular enquiries, and to commu.
nicate information to Division Su.
perintendents as to the amount of
fuel that will probably be needed
for settlers in the vicinity, in order
that transportation may be provid
ed to assist them in procuring nee
essary supplies.
Fl. HAUPT,
General Manager.

Too Slow.

The Alelt has cndcavnred to obtain a
daily report of the Duluth grain market
for the special accommodation OF our far
mers and those dealing in gram. To an
extent it has been successful in getting
them. but not in such shape as to inspire
a continuance of the same. at times the
report, which is supposed to be sent from
Duluth early every morning, succeeded in
reaching this office some time the next
day. Wercceiyed yesterday S report this
morning. and Saturdays report Monday
morning. We are not we'll enough fixed
IN this worlds goods to pay for old mar
ket reports, and in view of this lamentable
fact we shall take them no longer. The
enterpri>ing managers Of the Dakota de-
partmen; of the Western Union Telegraph
Co. had better 50 and "bag their heads''

Delighted With jamestown.

Yesterday the Yellowstone party passed
through jamestown en- route for the west,
and naturally enough took dinner at the
Dakota House, which is run in such a
crcdi,abc manner both to Col Flint and
this ever blooming metropolis. The party
as here ofore narrated, was headed by G.
K. Barnes, general ticket agent of the
Northern Pacific, and was composed
principally of the foremost business men
Of ST. Paul and Minneapolis. So great
was the partys admiration for jamestown
that nine cut or ten declared that it was
the loveiiest little city in the whole of tn ;
Northwest. In speaking Of our hotel &C
commodations Mr.. Barnes said that there
was not another hotel on the whole line
that compared with the Dakota House,
and that it was not far behind the best
hotels Of either st. Paul of Minneapolis,
and that on their return vote or thanks
should be rendered Col. Flint for his hos
pItaity. We are glad that the party
were so we'll pleased with jamestown and
the treatment they received.

The Homestead Law.

A government is intended to protect and
aid the weak against the strong-the poor
against the mighty. Tried by this test the
conception Of the homestead law ranks
the very foremost in republican legisla-
ton. The vast public domain, under the
old idea, was held for sale at a nominal
price to the speculator. While the sale
added but mite to the public treasury,
its purchase made the rich richer, and the
strong stronger. Every acre almost of
the first states settled under the land laws
was bought by spectators for a pittance
and sold to the poor pioneer for a home at
a round figure The homestead law
which gives outright to the settler home
simply in consideration of the fact that he
desires it for home and so uses it was a
benign idea, and its blessings are social
ly rich to the people Of Dakota. A man
can here procure 100 acres of the very
best farming land, convenient to a railway
station, simply for the taking Its culti-
walton after the first year produces an
abundant harvest for which lie has a home
market at a good paying price. Why is
it, in view of these facts, that so many
poor men are willing to toll their lives out
as renters of others? What is the power
that restraints them The childish whim
that they cannot leave the place of birth
and old associations. The croaker puts
other excuses in their minds, but this is
the only one in their hearts. Dakota far
mcrs are as sure of a crop as any far mer
in America. "Man can only SOW" and
the Lord can at any time and in any place
withhold the increase. But we venture to
say that the crops are better to-day and
will this year yield better return for la
Dor in Dakota than in Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Indiana or Ohio, and the proof
of our assertion is patent to every visitor.
1t is the verdict Of every company of Wis
itors, not only of our own settlers. There
are thousands VI arrivals of pioneers this
ycar-with stron~ hands and hearts-and
their work is aiilady telling to most flat
tering extent There is room for thous-
ands more, just as good opportunities. We
invite home-seekcrs to this territory, the
very heart Of the great farming country of
the great northwest, and offering induce
ments which never have been offered be-
fore and never will be again to the pio-
neer settler. The water is excellent and
abundant, the soil simply matchless, the
climate is the finest on the continent, the
railroads lay down every luxury and nee
essary article at your door at only slight
advance on the price in Chicago. Don't
take anybody's word for this but come
out and Aberdeen Pioneer

A New nress-Fau STYLE.

Not to be behind in the way of style the
Alert has new dress, and it is gradually
getting it into use. This new dress is of
the latest style, the best material and this
particular piece is set in a part of it.

course of time it becomes necessary for
new material to he purchased Having
been fortunate in standing off type foun-

A party were Dragging of the size
of fish they caught, and when an APP
peal was made to an old fisherman
whether he had ever seen larger
fish caught in the lake, he replied: ::
''Wal, l can't exactly tell as to the
weight, but you folks can fgger on
it. Now, you know it is over 200
miles around this yer lake. Put
that down. As / said before, / don't
know the weight of the biggest 1

up and beach, and after l landed
him the lake fell three feet, and you
can see by the watermark but yonder
that it hasn't riz siuce,"

Grand Rapids Notes..

Special to the Alert.
Capt. Ryder of Sterling, ILL.,, has
been spending a short time in town
and has at last located on Sec. 10
in the new township west of town.
G. G. Quivey Of Chicago, located
here the past week and is erecting
a fine residence upon his claim.
There has been more claims To-
Gated here within the past two
weeks than any other three this
season, which shows that this little
town is not forgotten.
Our best informed farmers assert
that the grasshopper has not in
jpred the La Moure county crops
five per cent. The crop has been
an exceedingly fine one in quality
and average yield.
H. P. Riemenschreider' of Fran
cisco, Mich, is spending short
time with one of his old friends, the
Mayor
Jeff Smith started for Jamestown
this week after coal. JEFF is bound
be warm this winter.
christopher Deisem of the firm
of Deisem and Franks, is the hap
piests man in town: he is the faith
er of bouncing daughter.
Capt. Elliot has gone to Mime
apolis to spend a few weeks at the
fair.
The general impression here is
that Grand Rapids will have ga
boom what is a BOOM when the
railroad comes in from the East.
The hawks are so tame in this
part of the country that they can
be caught in hand. Horton Hol-
comb, while backsetting a few
days since, picked up hawk while
it was watching for gophers and
broke its head on the plow. This
is the way to kill hawks in La
Moure county style.

Newport, of the N p, is in
New York pleading with the direct.
ors to re.appoint him land commis
sioner of the Northern Pacific. It
is hoped by no less than ten thous-
and business men and settlers along
the line that they will do no such
thing. 1t would be almost impos-
sible for one to compute the dam
age done to the Company by this
same Newport. Hell is to good a
place for him, III our opinion.

Senator Saunders, of Nebraska,
who is chairman Of the committee on
territories in the United States SEN
ate, has Just returned from trip to
New Mexico, whittier he went to in
quire into the ACCESSIBILITY of admit
ting that territory as a state. The
senator was interviewed at Denver
upon the subject Of his mission and
he said he did not think New Mexico
would be admitted at present, as it
was hardly prepared for the change.
He said further that he should next
visit Dakota on a similar errand and
he expressed his confidence that the
southern half of our territory would
take place in the union at the next
session of congress. Upon this sub
iect Senator Saunders said:
During the past session of congress
I was instrumental in introducing a
bill for the division Of Dakota Into
two territories, with an eye to the
a, mis- sion of the southern part Of it
into the union as state. Owing to
the dead lock arising from the Conk-
ling Garfield troubles and the press
of other public business, we did not
reach it. Early in the coming session
it will come up, and l am of the opin-
ion that Dakota will be divided and
the southern part of it made u state
of the union.
So decided an expression as this
from the chairman of the committee
on territories indicates that his com
mittee will earnestly use its influence
to secure the admission Of southern
Dakota at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Our claims to place in the
union seems to be recognized in high
places and now the only thing be-
tween us and the consummation of
our desires is the democratic. strength
in congress. The slight republican
majority may pull the measure
through and it seem probable that
with the year 1882 the star ofDakota
will be added to national banner.
Many members of congress and other
influential persons have travelled ex-
teusively in Dakota since the last
session and have gained a tolerab!y
correct idea of its resources and cap
abilities. After Senator Saunders
has completed his proposed tour he
will be more enthusiastic than ever
before in behalf of Dakota's admis-
sion.-Press and Dakotaian.

A Pleasant Excursion to Take.

AS pleasant place as one would wish
to go to at this time of the year is Devils
Lake. We often wonder why more peo-
pie do not go there. It is not because
there is lack of att, "a tions there, for
there is no lack in that line, but we sup
pose being so far from a railroad many
who would 60 there are deferred from do
ing so through knowing nothing OF the
means of transportation from this point.
To those who are thus III Ignorance of the
means of reaching this charming spot we
would say that a first class stage line runs
from jamestown to Devils Lake, leaving
here Tuesdays and Fridays, and that the
proprietor of the line is Mr.. VIM. Bow
man, an old-timer in this section and one
who will always make the trip pleasant to
YOU 1t takes two days to go through, the
first day about half the Journey is made
and a stop for the night is made at the
stage rancho, where there are ample ac-
commodations, and where one can get as
good supper and breakfast as could be
wished for The next day you are landed
at Fort Totten, DEVILS Lake, where a
week can be pleasantly and protitably
spent Beside the lake, and it alone is
worth the trip, there are about l 100 Sioux
Indians and the military fort. Just now
is pleasant time to take the trip. See
Mr. Bowman, make the arrangements and
go and spend week at this spot.
