Manufactures for Bismarck.

Mercantile establishments follow close.
Iy on the trail of the pioneer granger. So
closely in some instances as to make it
difficult to determine which got there
first: the farmer or the merchant. But
the manufacturer never comes until the
permanency of new city has been estab.

community, the sol,dity of that COM
munity is recognized abroad. This is the
condition of affairs in Bismarck today.
There are several parties now here for the
purpose Of locating factories. One gen.
tleman by the n"me OF e. H. Manley is
at the Merchants. He contemplates the
opening of cigar mandatory. There
are two brothers also stopping at the
Merchants, named Yost, who intend to

woolen mills. project, which is a local
enterprise, is receiving much encourage
ment; SO, on the whole the outlook tor
manufactures in Bismarck is very bright
at present. The successful operation OF
one manufacturing concern would be All

few years oul citizens would be able to con-

PEok's Sun says Dakota got black eye q
year ago OF, account of the snow blockades in
the southern portion of the territory. Every
body in the world heard of the blockades,
how people were shut in for three months,
and how many suffered, and yet very few
people have heard that the present winter
has been very mild. Until our needed
March snow storms set in we enjoyed an
almost perpetual September climate. The
terrible winter of last year, which buried the
whole country in snow, was not a sectional
affair, and will probably not be repeated
again for twenty years. 1t was less severe at
Bismarck than any point in any of the west
ern or middle states. But this is difficult fact
to impress on the minds Of eastern people:
It is always easier to make them believe what
is bad of a country and very hard to distri-
butte intelligence about what is good.

.'TuE Charge of the Heavy Brigade" -. Ten
nyson's new poem, made its appearance on
the LIST inst. in London, and was cabled to
the New York Independent and published in
the New York Herald on the evening of the

.sThe three hundred of the heavy brigade
who made this famous charge we're the Scots
Greys and the second squadron of the 1nni-
skiliings, the remainder of the heavy brigade
subsequently dashing up to their support.
The three were Elliott, Scarlett's aid de.

A BURIED forest has been found in the Red
river valley The Grand Forks Plaindealer
of the I'd inst, says Robt. P. Purdy, farmer
living fifteen miles west of that place, while
engaged about three weeks ago in sinking a
we'll upon his farm struck a subterranean
growth of timber. At the depth of about
thirteen feet from the surface bis work was
interrupted by large and obstinate root,
which was removed after time of patient
toll; but what surprised him most was, after
digging a little further, the discovery of the
body Of a,sound ash tree, sixteen inches in
circumference, which he had to cut through
with an ak. year ago Mr.. Purdy salk a
well about twenty rods from this spot. and at
about the same depth came upon similar
timber. The discovery of sound timber,
thirteen feet below the surface of the present
soil of the Red river valley ought to enlist the
attention of geologists, from whom the pub
lie would be glad to hear an explanation.

the Washington Star of the 25th ult. claim
ing that there is not one farmer in ten who
desires the admission of southern Dakota as
a state, and that there was not single farm

the delegation from southern Dakota "Out
of the 63 delegates who came to Washington

lawyers, real estate agents, 8 merchants, 5
editors, ministers, bankers, sheriff, 2

than one-half of them have been engaged in
farming. This does not include the delega-
country. But nearly all of them have now
gone home." .

UNSETTLED TERRITORY.

According to the census of 1880 there
are l, 400, 900 square miles of unsettled
territory in this country, which is near
ly one-half it's whole area. Since 1880
the unsettled area east of the Appalachian
range has been reduced only 10000
square miles. In the original 13 states
there are still IA, 900 square miles of un-
occupied land. Northern Maine, part
of New Hampshire and the Adirondac
region constitute the wilderness. In
Wisconsin and Michigan 2o,5oO square
miles are still unsettled, being largely
covered with timber or unfit for agricul-
tural purposes. Florida has nearly 21,-
900 square miles of swamp and ever
glade. Texas has 137, 1000 square miles
of vacant lands. In the remaining terri
tory west of the Mississippi, 1900, 600
square miles are either unsettled or oc-
cupied only by Indians. Of this, 24O,-
600 square miles are embraced in Indian
reservations. But while there is plenty
of space it is, according to Gen. Francis
A. Walker, comparatively worthless
space. Taking out mountainous, arid
and barren tracts there remains very lit
tie public land fit for agricultural pur-
poses, and what is left will probably be
taken up within a year. This statement
does not imply that all tho IL pd in the
country fit for cultivation is ctually un-
der cultivation. 1t simply means it has
been disposed of in one way or another
to states, schools, railroads, etc.

OUR ,DEXTERITY.

Probably the highest tribute to Ameri-
can ekill, energy and quickness comes
from contributor to Chambers Jour-
nal, who says, after .eulogiying the way
in which we would build cities at short
notice here: "What have said of the
building trade applies to all others.
Indeed the higher dexterity, taste and
skill a business requires, the more does
the American workman respond to the
demand. The Elasticity of type, to
which have referred, is nowhere seen
80 plainly as in the domain of useful
arts. Germans and Frenchmen have
given o finish to American manufac-
lures that is wanting in our own. Be-
sides there is native neatness, the re-
salt of high ideal of excellence. This
matter deserves the serious attention of
British manufacturers. who are losing
many markets simply from the clumsi-
ness of their goods. There is rising in
the United States race of artists, de-
signers and artificers, who promise to
surpass those Of all other nations. The
fervor of the climate develops the es-
thetic side OF man, the clash of mil
lions of eager, inventive minds is pro-
ducing standard of excellence that is
both novel and exalted; the possibili-
ties of wealth are vastly beyond those
of any European state, and the love of
the elegant and the beautiful pervades
all classes. The inevitable sequence of
these conditions must be widespread,
all-dominating art. It is seen in the
gorgeous public buildings, in the ex-
quisite villas, in the light yet strong fur
niture, in the beautiful appointments of
drawing-rooms and table eouipages;
while every American lady, yea, though
black, is living evidence of an innate
taste in dress that makes the English
suffer by contrast. Into every avenue
of life this characteristic of taste goes,
modifying manners and behavior as
much as architecture, furniture, dress,
ornaments and toOls.''

AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS IN ENGLAND.

~A~~A1A~AAAN
From the annual report of the British
Postal Department it appears that nearly
ten million American newspapers entered
England last year. The New York
Herald says: We congratulate the
mother country on her sagacity in seek
ing the best sources of information on
current affairs. English newspapers are
good in many respects, but to those
Britons who realize that the world does
not consist. exclusively of the various
portions of the British Empire the t typi-
cal American journal is almost necessi-
ty. On this side of the ocean there is a
nation of fifty million people and of
more than three million miles of area.
upon which England is almost as de-
pendent as she is upon herself. About
this nation an Englishman who does not
wish to be ignorant is compelled to in
form himself, and his home newspapers
do not enable to do this. But aside from
this there is much about English inter-
ests and the general run of European af-
fairs that he can learn only from Ameri-
can newspapers; it is cause for hearty
congratulation that he has learned this
to the extent of reading nearly ten mil
hon American newspapers per year.

which are attempts to represent the same
sound. 1t is the same way with pure
Egyptian and with Turkish names.
Lippincott's Gazetteer allows the name
of we'll known city in Armenia to be-
spelled either Erzroom, Erzroum,
Erzrum, Erzeroum, Erzerum, or ARR
room. Most of the geographical names
that figure in the war news are recorded
in no accessible authority. Every cor
respondent in tue field must invent his
own spelling to represent the sound Of
the different names as well as he can. In
the. total lack of authority, and where
one spelling is as good as another, the
only thing a newspaper can do is to fix
upon some one way of spelling q name
and stick to it. {.

The YeII0wsfono Country

John Mccullough. the traeedian, Who
accompanied General Sheridan ana par
ty on trip through the Yellowstone
country spectacularly that God Almighty
has made" He says: "Shakspeare's
dictum, Mature is greater than art is
here verified again and again: I confess
that was skeptical. / had the most ex-
aggerated-as T then thought-ac-
counts of the park and it's wonders, and

was not told. The half? Not the thou
sandth part, nor can it be. Pages of
description are all too faint, though the
strongest superlatives in the language
are used unstintedly. Why, to sit on
the edge of Hell's Half-acre and watch
the Sheridan geyser is to have lifetime
memory. It is twice as big as this
hotel, and the steam and water ascend to
height of 400 feet. It Is indescribably
grand to watch it first sending up q
cloud of steam, then water higher and
higher, until the stupendous magnitude
OF a full eruption is reached. Then the
Bee. Hive, the Fan, Old Faithful, and
Giant and Giantess, the Paint Pots-I
laughed for an hour at those queer mud
bubbliDgs-and all the rest. Pshaw, t
can't tell you the tithe. The grand
canon is a marvel of the world, and the
fallsl why, what is Niagara to them {?

water leaps down precipice 800 feet
high you can gather a faint idea OF
what it is. l crawled around the jut-

Moran took his view and saw it all, from
top to bottom, in it's entirety of grandeur,
and the remembrance will inger as
long as life does. The mammoth
springs at the entrance of the park, the
Yellowstone Lake and the hundreds of
smaller gems should be recounted. but
who can properly describe them? I for
got to tell you, to give you some idea of
the volume of water thrown up BY the
Sheridan geyser, that when it runs into
the Fire Hole River, distance several
hundred feet, it changes the temperature
from that of icy coldness to actual heat.
You've heard that story about cooking
your trout where you catch 'em. It's
true. 1 did it. I caught fish in an ice
cold stream, and walking not farther
tnan across thls room, plunged 1t in q
spring, in which in an unconceivably
short time it was boiled through and
through. But could go on for hours
telling of the wonders. One of our
newspaper men should go to the park
and spend q month there. I have never
seen really we'll written description Of
its wonders. A book wouldn't be read,
but q series of short articles would take
wonderfully: I mustn't forget to speak
of the exhibitions of vandalism which
abound. Relic hunters have Clipped off
huge pieces Of the craters and have
thrown stomps and logs into the cauld-
drons, which when elected tore huge
pieces from the symmetrical sides.
There's no harm in throwing small
articles in, of course. I Ideposited pair
of pants in one crater. They were
thoroughly washed when they came out,

On the Banks of the Nji6,

Perhaps, saysthe London Daily News,
the most striking idea of the effort Of the
Nile water is obtained from standing on
the summit of the Great Pyramid of
Geezah. The pyramid stands on the des-
ert, but close to the cultivated soil-the
cultivated soil in this case means the
land which has been covered by the in
undation Of the great river. To the
height which its waters have reached the
color is green from vegetation; where it
has not touched is desert. So odistinct is
the line Of, green with the buff coiored
sand that looking down from the pyra-
mid it seems as if yeu could put one foot
on the cultivated and another On the nm
irrigated ground. The sharp, defined
edge of well-kept lawn and gravel
path will picture the state of the case to
the mind of any one. Gazing on thir
from the pyramid-can be seen as far as
an eye can reach to the north and south
the Importance of the Nile water is rea-
]ized. As high as the inundation rises
there is growth and cultivation; food for
man and beast is produced; where the
water has not moved on the surface there
is the desert sterile and bare, and with q
hot, monotonous SUN glaring everywhere.
The essential cause of Egypt's greatness
in the past is realized as well as the co1l-
tinued political importance of the coun-
try to our own times.
