A bright young newsboy on the Northern
Pacific, had the misfortune to fall from q
car near Tower City, Tuesday, and break
leg.
On October 2 the corner stone of the
new university at Grand Forks is to be
laid with elaborate ceremonies. It is a
specially notable event in view of the fact
that so recently that section was the home
only of the Indian and his game.
Capt. G. P. Voolfolk hes 800 acres of
land In the Yellowstone valley in Montana,
on part of which he harvested over
thirty bushels of No. 1 hard to the acre,
and reports that he succeeded in raising
sweet potatoes eight to twelve inches long
and three inches thick. This is the first
attempt of the sort on the line of the
Northern Pacific east of the mountains.
Sanborn is one of the brightest little
towns on the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad. 1t has good substantial build
lngs, COED churches, shreWd business men
and presents to stranger more of scene
of activity than almost any other city of
its size in the northwest. It has railroad
leading north to Cooperstown, and will
Dakota's solid and growing towns.
The Fargo Republican has made new
departure. A Minnesota department has
been organized which will take in quite a
scope of country on the east side of the
Red, and the object is the gathering of the
legitimate news of that region and the ex-
tension OF the business interests and SUBJ
scription lists of that paper. The depart
mens is in charge of T. B. Holmes, one of
the brightest and most versatile young
writer's in the northwest. The GLOBE has
the kindest wishes for the success of the
department and its manager.
They almost all get it sometime during
the course of their existence. There is a
redundancy of spirits an excess of enthusi-
asm, which appears sometime in the his
tory of almost every Journal of the daily
series, in the form of poetic or rhyming
headlines. The jamestown Capital has 1t
now and has it bad. 1t is not thought
that the attack will he a serious one, as the
constitution of that paper seems strong
enough to stand fever of that kind. It
is hoped that there will be no danger of a
serious termination.
The farmers in the Red river valley
have hitherto given attention almost ex-
clusively to the growing of the wheat for
which it is famous, and which has proved
so lucrative. Such thing as a hog is
about as rare as buffalo, but some of
them are beginning to see that the por-
cine element can be made to supplement
the chief staple with large profits. The
past week the first lot of hogs ever mar
keted at Wahpeton, in Richland
county, from the furnishing
Michigan settlement, were sold
and brought seven cents live weight. They
were fattened on oats and barley, and
averaged $50 pounds. The time is not dis
tant when this region will ship hogs to
market instead of importing them from
further east for consumption.
Under the head of dakota Politics" the
Grand Forks Herald of Sept. 90 gives
long letter dated at Chicago. The letter
itself is remarkably silent concerning Da-
kota affairs, but has good deal of very
pointed nature to say concerning the al
legged individual who is at present the rep
resentative, or misrepresentation of the
national government, and as such presides
over the destines of this great territory.
1t gives Ordway's history in a neat and
readable way, from the time his trickery
and disreputability made him infamous in
the Granite state, reviews his Washington
career and closes with a square slap at
him in the capital commission business. 1t
speaks of him as man that could be per-
suaded, and does not seem to entertain
very high opinion of his honesty or honor.
The correspondent speaks very highly OF
Colonel DOMAIN, and intimates that he
ought to represent Dakota in congress.
