A Needed Enterprise.

One cannot view the amount of farm
machinery that is sold at this place ex-
cept with wonder at the magnitude of the
business and the demand for such lmple-
mcnts of agriculture. Nothing but the
most improved and best in the market Of
any particular kind finds sale here, and
the line includes anything from the di-
minutive onion seed drill to the largest
harvester. With such demand now,
what will it be year hence, and on for
years and years to come The countless
thousands of unbroken acres will be
brought under cultivation, and it will re-
quire farm machinery to do it. Hun
drcds of thousands of dollars will be IN
vested in farm machinery at jamestown
within the next two years, and the de-
mand will steadily increase for ten years
vet to come. In view of this fact, and
advantages in other respects, we may
reasonably expect that some farm machin-
cry manufacturer with an eye to business
will engage in the business here, and it
is only question of who will be the first.
There is certainly not more promising
field for such an enterprise in the North
west than right here in Jamestown.

A New Park.

Several of our enterprlslng citizens are
making move to fence in the grounds
lct Vren the railroad track and Main
street, from Fourth to Fifth avenues for
a mark. The Alert Is informed that the
North Pacific railroad company will do
nate tue ground for that purpose: The
erect music stand in the centre and scat
the grounds so as to make a place where
the weary may find rest, even if the wick
cd do not cease from troubling. 1t would
make splendid place for an afternoon
sicsta and for the reception of our dis
tinguished visitors, of whom we will no
doubt have a great many this summer.
The plans and specifications may be seen
at the Dakota House. The scheme is
meeting with very, gratifying success, and
unanimity of mind in the matter, and the
Alert hopes it will be pushed forward at
the rate enterprises are usually expedited

Eleridge Squibs.

C. w. Darling and Mr. Stone of Fargo,
shareholders IN this townsite, were here
last week on a tour of inspection, and it
is hoped that these gentlemen, like Rip
VanWinklc, have become fully aroused
from their slumbers and will now whoop
her up and not allow our New Minneap-
oils friends to carry off the cake in trout
of their eyes.
L. Glaspel has taken a contract to
break 600 acres of land seven miles north
of here, which he proposes having finish
ed towards the latter part of the present
month should the present favorable wealth
er continue.
Two car loads of lumber arrived here
last Saturday for New Minneapolis, and
were towcd up there on Monday evening.
The same is now baing used in the con-
struction of the Nicollet Hotel at that
place.
Lately two young ladies captured jim
Holmes horse and buggy and started on a
land hunt. They would have jumped a
railroad section near by had not darkness
come on before their inspection was fin
ished.
A great deal of new breaking is being
done about here tributary to the station,
although much of it is scattered in small
tracts and on many quarter sections, be-
ing the forerunners of large fields next
year, when the new corners will he IN bet
ter shape to take hold.
One of those accidents so common IN
human affairs happened here on Wednes-
day evening, the particulars of which are
as follows: Freight train No. IA, con-
Quoted by Thomas Hanley, one Of the
most experienced and reliable men on the
road, pulled up to the station at speed
not exceeding six miles an hour, some IS
minutes behind her regular time. The
conductor handed his report to the opera
tor here and signalled his engineer, Geo.
Eastwood, ahead. George threw her open
and was getting under fair headway when
within two rails lengths of the east end
switch he discovered to his horror that
the switch was wide open. His position
was plain, with death staring him in the
face he deliberately reversed the lever and
in company with his fireman and brake
| man made hasty exit from the cab. AS
they reached terra tirma the engine left
the track and took the ditch, when with
a bang-wang, rip-roar, crash, came the
empty flat and box cars behind, piling up
on top of each other like an avalanche.
Nobody was hurt save the conductor, who
was knocked through the window of the
| caboose, cutting his face and peeling his
| nose. Vanderpool and Behean were tele-
graphed for and arrived short time af
forwards. The road was ready for traffic
| at 1890 a. m.
The crops hereabouts are looking well
and although we have no professional
gardeners here We will have green peas on
our table by July lst and new potatoes

s.,. Of tho Court House Bonds.

The sale of our new court house bonds
has been effected at seven per cent. pre-
mum, the purchaser being the First Ma
t,onal Bank of this city, in which the
commissioners made good sale for the
county, and the bank safe investment:
This transaction manlfests faith and
confidence in the future of our TOW and
country that is very gratifying 1t also
certainly indicates healthy financi al
state of the country and when we take
into consideration the vast amount of
capital that is employed in the improve,
ment and development of the country ,and
vet have surplus enough, faith enough,
and backbone enough, to overbld the
Wall street capitalists of New York on
our own county bonds, the Alert feels like
boasting of it. Wealth is pouring into
this country by the millions, and that OF
the states is being depleted correspond
ingly. This influx Of capital will oe IN
creased here by production, and the drain
must likewise be replaced by production,
which is the source of wealth. 1t will be
readily seen that the balance is in favor
of and will continue with the Northwest
as long as the tide of emigration flows in
that direction

Going Out West.

GdOluB VUt "oSts
From the Daily, Tuesday.
When the eastern man looks on the
map and traces out in the far distant
northwest until his head begins to swim,
he points to Dakota territory, and to him
the country beyond that seems almost
q myth, almost incomprehensible. In the
eastern states, Ohio, Indiana and llli-
nois are called the West and Minnesota
the far Northwest. But beyond that they
look upon it as going to foreign coun-
try almost, and never think that those
distant countries have a west as WE'LL
But all these vagaries vanish as the
pilgrim sweeps over space at the rate of
thirty and forty miles an hour for days
and nights in succession. You never
think of the train going over the jumping
of place IN the world, which at your
homes in the East is not far from this
longitude. You go on and still on and
the more you leave behind the more
you comprehend before you. At last the
conductor calls out Jamestown, you
alight from the train and arc surprised
to find you are still on earth, and when
you mingle with the people you will be
still more surprised to hear them using
the same expression you hear a thousand
and two thousand miles back, namely
'going out west" Then you inyolun,
tarily repeat and ask, "Going out West?
WHAT IS there still a west beyond ?"
Why, yes, reader IN the East, there is a
west so far beyond this that the people
there look back upon Dakota as almost
. portion of the New England country
Of the Atlantic coast. You can now
20 nearly 600 miles farther west on the
trains of the Northern Pacific railroad.
Dakota it is as bew,ldering to attempt
comprehend the immensity of country
n west across Montana, Idaho and
Washington Territory as it is in the east to
comprehend it out to Dakota. Fifty or
hundred miles here is not considered
much of trip to make with team, and
five and six hundred miles by rail IS a
iaunt one thinks scarcely worth mention
ing.
