Some time last October Daniel Brubaker
passed up through st. Paul for the Northwest
and on the way lost four prieces of baggage.
Not being able to find them he at last notified
the secretary of the state immigration bureau,

rill set the necessary machinery at work to
find the missing property, and a few days ago
Milwaukee, though none of the packages
passed over his road, es the sequel proved.
William Gordon, of stratford, Ontario, some
weeks ago passed through st. Paul to
Winnipeg, with other emigrants,

nipeg, but he found the. snow so deep and the
prices OF everything so ulgn CnaL ne concluded
he would go back to Ontario. and started for
that point. When he got as far back as st.
Paul he happened to meet an old friend who
advised him to 60 to Dakota, where he had
located. Listening to the stores
told by his old friend he concluded to 60 to
Dakota, and went there: He was SO much

Last season the Northern Pacific company,
desiring to obtain good water, common
ced sinking well near Tower
city with view of trying an experiment to
see if good water could be procured. They
worked against good many difficulties, but
they persevered, and at last, few days ago,
they struck good solid stream Of water, and
the well, is proving a grand success. At
present the stream is forced mp thirty
feet above the surface of the
earth. The well is GOO feet deep. The quality
Of the water is splendid, while the quantity is
Steadily increasing. The experience obtained
in getting water through this well will enable
them to sink other wells much cheaper. Gen.
Haupt thinks they will sink number of these
wells on the Missouri and Dakota divisions,
and it is probable that one will be sunk at
Fargo for the supply of the shops at that
place.
