. SALE OF THE DAKOTA HOUSE.
Col. Flint Disposes Of this Valuable
Property to
MIR. A. A. Doolittlc and Tacates the
House Jan. i, 1882.

Ever since Col Flint announced his in
tention of disposing Of the Dakota House
and so advertised the fact, he has had nyl-
merous offers for the property. But not
until this present week did heconclude
the sale and it was definitely announced
| that a new landlord would have charge in
a short time. The purchaser of the prop
erty is Mr.. A. A. Doolittle, q brother of
II. w. Doolittle, of this place, young
man 27 years of age, and who for the past
seven years has been travelling for the
St. Paul crockery house Of Craig, LaFkin
& Smith. He takes charge of the proper
ty on New Years day 1852. Mr.. ID. is a
single man and has had no actual expe-
riencc save what he may have gathered
from his seven years of travel. He is a
steady, industrious and capable young fel-
low and is spoken of in high terms by all.
The price paid for the hotel is $l5,50o for
the real estate, that's the house and land,
the fixtures to be taken at an appraised
value, each party to appoint man and
| those two to agree upon third, and the,
three will agree upon the price. The cost
of the entire establishment will be in the.
neighborhood OF $23, 600 or $224 goo. IIr.
Flint will build Il house forhiInself during
the winter and doubtless will Gnd enough
10 do to keep himself busy. Beside what
he has made in the advance in value of
the property since he has owned il he has
made a profit IN the business nearly equal
to the value Of the hotel 1If. Flint's
reasons for selling are not because lie has
not made money enough in the past two
years or fears he may not ii the future,
but because SO much care is eifecting his
wife's health. In hotel us large as the
Dakota House some one is always. kick
ing" and there is constant trouble with
the help, and though Iir. Flint is able to
take such things pliiIosophioalll, 1Irs T. is
not SO constituted as 70 be able to do SO.
The Dakota House ranks among the
foremost oi-hetels in the Northwest and
beside its large number Of regular board
ers has transient trade that is OF itself
fortune Tie hotel has always been 50 so
conducted IS to make it a pleasant resort
for travelling men, and they always en-
deavor to make it for their Sunday lay
over. Under Mr. Doolittle's management
we have every reason to predict that the
house will be just as satisfactory to the
public and as profitable TO It's proprietor
as in the past.

INDICATIONS OF PROSPERITY.

Probably there is no better index
as to the condition Of business, and
the prosperity OF our town than the
large amount Of capital offered as
subscriptions to stock Tor "The James
River National Bank" The only
trouble the origtnators Of the enter
prise had was in curtailing individual
subscriptions, SO that all would have
nave an opportunity. 1t is equally
ila;tering to the gentlemen at the
mead OF the enterprise, as it is indl-
cative OF confidence in the manage
ment. With two good private banks
and national bank Of $4,000 capi.
tai there should be no stringeucy
in the money market. 1t will prove
4 great blessing to our business men,
md we have no doubt the future o.
'sThe James River National Bank"
will be a successful one.

The Senate adjourned in haste
to go to Yorktown. 1t will take
a week on their return to get ready
for busine ss.
Frank Hatton, editor Of the
burlington Hawkeye," is sup
posed to succeed Tyner. The
change will be an improvement.
McVeagh and James both leave
the cabinet. The latter has been
elected President Of the Lincoln
National Bank Of New York, con-
trolled by Vanderbilt.
President Arthur has relieved
the anxiety Of all Office holders by
declaring that he will not molest
them until the assembling of the
next session of Congress.
The condition of affairs in Ireland
is alarming. The trouble is England
neglected to use decisive measures
on the start and thus encouraged
the turbulent element to riot.
It would seem as though all sen.
sitive men would decline office, for
they are continuously abused, and
there is not an important public
officer who cannot to-day receive a
larger compensation in business
than in the public service.
The floods in Wisconsin are caus-
ing great loss to property. The
water is higher than ever before
known. Crops are destroyed, and
the continuous rains are making
the farmers feel very blue. They
| had better come to Dakota.
From letters published in Chica.
go papers, it appears that Prof.
King travelled close enough to the
earth to hold communication with
the citizens of some of the towns
through Wisconsin. We hope he
will turn up safe.
Secretary Window will undoubt-
edly be returned to the Senate from
Minnesota. The interests of the
great West will receive attention at
his hands. He has been the most
successful of any politician ever
elected from Minnesota. He finds
a great many anxious to relieve
him of the onerous duties Of public
life.
The correspondents at Washing
ton continue to form paper cab
inets for Arthur. At the same
time the reform papers instruct
the President as to his duties, and
threaten to withdraw their support.
If a man known to have been friend
ly to any of the stalwart crowd hap

the self-appointed guardians Of
Che nation shake their fists and de-
clare the President must not recog-

The centennial of the surrender of
Yorktown opened with the descend
ants Of Lafayette and stcubcn pres
ent, some Virginia militia, brigade
of regulars, two OF tLree governors
and the officials of Washington. 1t
is probable to provea a great bore to
those present. Yorktown is Oh a
