there is no proof of the fact, that Lieut..
Creel of the Fort has employed the twen-
ty men above mentioned to hold nearly
1000 acres of timber until such time as 1T
shall come into market. The men, of
course, will not state who is employing
them. They are we'll drilled and have a
code of signals by which they communl-
cate with each other. When squatter
attempts to settle as stated, they gather
to the number of ten or a dozen and tear
down his shanty, driving him off by
threats of killing The leader of the
gang is an ex-Montana COW boy, who IS
slightly known in this section. About a
week ago poor man came to the fort
with story to the effect that his shanty
had been torn to pieces, and that he had
been ordered to leave the country. He
had wife and several small children,
who were exposed all night without any
shelter.

The Park Enterprise.

An informal meeting was held at the
office of Messrs Wells s. Dudley last night
for conference upon the matter of fencing
and building music stand on the park
In front of the depot. The style OF the
fence is not as yet definitely decided
upon, nor Is the plan of the music stand,
but Mr.. Doolittle IS appointed commit
tee to confer with Minneapolis parties
on the subject when he goes there next
week. There is no doubt of the enter
prise now, and it is only a question Of
expense and style of fence and stand. 1t
can be done with what money is already
subscribed, but could be better done with
more money. 1t would be much better
and more satisfactory, and in the end
more economical if the funds necessary
could be raised now to complete the i'm
provement IN fine shape, and the Alert
hopes that the amount necessary will be
raised, and believes it will when the peo-
pie see that the enterprise is sure to go
on, as there is no doubt that it will. The
necessity, advantage and Importance of
this ornament and convenience will
be readily seen by any one who will give
the matter second thought.

EldridRe SQuibs.

L. B. Hodges, superintendent of the N.
P. r. r. tree planters outfit, arrived here
on Friday last en- route for Valley City,
He says his gang has broken land all
along the line of the road between here
and Bismarck on each side of the ravine
cuts, all of which will be backset this fall
and planted with trees early next spring.
Twenty three horses, mules and mus
tangs have been entered for the plug race
which is to take place here on the coming
Fourth.
Rev VIM. Huelster, returned last week
from an extended trip IN the east and re-
ports numerous inquiries from capitalists
regarding Dakota's prospects.
Willie Gates, one of II. r. Grifing' s
men, has broken one hundred acres on
Charlie Clark's sisters tree claim, just
west of the village.
AS Hugh Bole was driving along slowly
between Vessey's store and the blacksmith
shop the other day huge black faced
badger suddenly appeared in the middle
of the road, the sight of which frightened
the off horse to such an extent that he
bounded forward like an antelope, break
ing his tugs and letting down the tongue,
which plowed along IN the beautiful
black loan for on eighth of mile, when
Jerry Collins happened along and brought
the ANIMALS to full stop. Hugh was
somewhat scared and thanked his stars
for escaping so luckily.
A large two-story house, which will be
used for general merchandise, will be
erected on the south side of the track
here at an early date. Henry Vessey has
taken the contract of hauling the rock
for the foundation.
It is believed by many tnat this New
Minneapolis scheme west of here is a bub-
BILE, and like other inflated booms will col
lapse.

here Is doing well; barley is heading out
and wheat is getting ready to do like

Our Booming Crops.

From all parts of the territory of Dako-
ia, and especially the northern portion.
most cheeringly comes the welcome re-
port of the finest prospect for crops of
all kinds, ever known in this country,
famous in the past for its booming pro-
ductions. The outlook now is certainly
very fattering, indeed, and hardly any
thing short of a calamity will defeat the
full realization of the prospect. No
country in the world gives so large a
return for the labor of the husbandman
as Dakota. From twenty to thirty dol
lars an acre clear profit on land that
costs but little more than the expense of
breaking is certainly handsome thing
and that is just what Dakota land will
give. No rent to pay, for 1t is just as
easy to have land of ones own as to cul-
tivate that of another. Dakota offers
homes to the millions free of cost and
all the profits of the luxuriant produc-
tions of her rich soil. All she asks Of
you Is to come, take your choice and
make it your home

The West-Wild Girl:

The following from "Bill Nye" in re-
ply to girl who was wild to go west con-
talns more truth than poetry, more sense
than sentiment, and the Alert commends
it to all such girls in the cast:
A recent letter from Michigan, written
IN lead pencil and evidently during hours
when the writer should have been learn
ing her Geography lesson, is very enthu-
siastic over the prospect of coming out
here where one girl can have lover for
every day in the week. She signs herself
Rosalinde with small r, and adds in a
postscript that she "means BUSINESS
Yes, Rosallnde, that's what we were
afraid of. We had kind of vague fear
that you meant business, so we did not
reply to your letter. Wyoming already
has women enough who can write with a
lead pencil. We are also pretty well pro-
vided with poor spoilers, and we do not
desire to ransack Michigan for affection
ate but sap-headed girls.
Stay in Michigan, Rosalindc, until we

clothes on an uncertain line while your
ripe and dewy mouth IS stretched around
a bass-wood clothes pin you will thank
us for this advice.
Michigan is the place for you. 1t is
the home of the Sweet Singer and the
abiding place Of the Detroit Free Press.
We can't throw any such influences
around you here as those you have at
vOur own door.
Do not despair, Rosalinde. Some day
a man with a great warm, manly heart
and pair of red steers will see you and
love you and he will take you in his strong
arms and protect you from the Michigan
climate just as devoutly as any of our peo-
pie here can. We do not wish o be mis-
understood IN this matter. 1t is not as a
lover that we have said so much on the
girl question, but in the domestic aid de-
partmept, and when we get long letter
from young girl who eats slate pencils
and reads "Ouida' behind her atlas, we
feel like going over there to Michigan
with trunk strap and doing little mis-
sionary work.

Dakota al a Celebrator.

If there is any doubt of Dakota's pa
triotlsm it will be dispelled next Tuesday.
From every quarter and from every town,
without regard to age or population,
comes the notice of booming celebra-
ton on the coming Fourth. These cele-
brations will not be of the aesthetic kind,
but regular old timers, such as the free
and easy pioneers Of a new country
only can stir up. The old Declaration of
Independence, the immortal production,
which, though old is ever new, will be
thundered from every town, and the bird
which has for century been the en-
blem of our freedom, will be turned loose
in oratorical enthusiasm from every
stand. The Dakotaians Will just make
Rome howl on the Fourth, and don't you
forget it. We will have free speech, free
going, free country and free Hail Colum-
b1a generally.

Dakota It's Own Advocate.

Mr.. A. c. Palmer, of Morgan Co., ILL.,,
who came out here about week ago to
see what kind of a country this is, of
which so much is said and written, has
rented a house IN town and will go back
and bring his family out Immediately
He is gong to ''catch on'' to some James
River Valley land as soon as he can make
choice between the thousands of attract
i've locations. If not the best, Morgan is
one of the very best counties in the state
of Illinois, and when men will pull ur
from that county, with all of its wealth
and attractions, and come out and locate
in the James River Valley, it is a fac,
that, in and of itself, carries weight in
favor of this country. It is very much
the same with all who come here, no
matter from what part of the United
States or of the world. The country
itself is its best advocate. The magnlfl.
cent scopes of wheat that may be seen
are arguments in favor of tie country
which no amount of ''galf' from those
who from personal or other motives,
would discourage emigration from the
older states can affect. II any one haC
seen or could see this grand and magnih.
cent country, the Alert would not urge 8
single soul to come here and make home
but as this cannot be 1t is not only the
pleasure but the duty of the press in Da.
kota to set forth these things in thei1
true light, for tens of thousands of peo'
pie will see the papers that never will see
Dakota. If it had not been for the en-.
terprising local newspapers that have
pushed forward among the very shanties
of the advance pioneers, Dakota, to-day
the best known country IN the world
would be almost sealed book as yet
There are no doubt great many exag-
gerations in the advertisements of SOME
of the townsites and perhaps some hav'
been swindled through this means, bu
the declarations and the writings OF th'
editors of those papers are, as rule
fair and truthful, and have been corrobo
rated time ond again by men of bushes

that large body of timber on the shores

About thirty stations have already.been
taken and more will be added when the
work of putting up the lines is complet-
ed, and the advantages of 1t are visi-
BILE. This enterprise, which was pro-
posed by the Alert only few weeks
ago, has now become a fixed fact and
will soon be doing the travelling for a
large number of our business men, and
will be found one of the greatest con-
veniences of the town. Locomotion on
foot is too slow for the booming busi-
ness of Jamestown. Town property is
liable to rise in value ten or twenty -fiye
oer cent while the dealer IS going
across the street to sec the other fellow
when if he had a telephone connection
he could keep posted right up with the
boom all the time. 1t will save more
than the cost in the wear and tear of
boot leather, for when the Dakota real
estate boomer starts out to make sale
he gives no heed to the distractions
that may be in his way, but walks
right through mortar beds and over
freight tlains and occasionally kicks a
brick out of corner building in max
ing a turn to another street, so that one
interesting land or lot sale usually sac
rifices pair of boots. This new enter
prise may be hard on the shoemakers,
but if the boom of jamestown demands
sacrifice the shoemaker may as well be
led as lamb to the slaughter as any
one else The Indian stood IN the way
of civilization and as consequence his
race is dwindllng into extinction, and
the same fate awaits the shoemaker if

ton. But laying all nonsense, which
