TIE CONTINENT monthly edition
for the railway and the press makes a
very handsome showing in its seventh
number just issued. The artistic adj
vantages of its broad pages are well
displayed in the leading article, where
large number of engravings by young
wood-engraying are attractively dis
played in connection with paper by
the veteran engraver, John Sartain, on
the adaptability of this art as an occu-
patton for women. The work exhibit
ed presents such excellent results -
many of them after only short pc
riod of study-as to offer much encour'
agement to girls with taste for art
who are DESTROYS of consulting their
inclinatiOns in selecting calling for
self-support., The increasing demand
for this kind of work render it profit
able as we'll as interesting. The pres
ent interest in the Mexican frontier
and in Mexico as field for American
enterprises is well met by an article
by Edwards Roberts on Chihuahua
the illustrations of which are very
| fine. The facades of the cathedral OF
the town in particular are specimens
of rich and ornate art. The author OF

We wish to thank our friends of Ono
for the interest taken i'll the midst of the
busy season aug 81, to finish paying
their part of the preachers claim, which
was manifested by the well filled halls in
the Grange building and the sumptious
supper provided. They are people who
believe that the 'Laborer is worthy Of
his hire" Long may they, with all the
kind people in the charge, live and pros
per. This year win close three pleasant
years with this people, we must soon
mingle with strangers, but if we only live
to do good and make the world better it
is all right OF this our years of toll on
hard fields must speak. If we have it is
of the Lord and to him belongeth all the
praise. JOHN Hour and FAMILY.

From the Golden State,

From private letter dated August
Sd, from our townsman, Mr.. ID. D.
Proctor, who is prospecting west of the
ROckys, we make the following eX-
tract.
II had fine trip here by the way Of
the Z. p and G. p r. r. l came through
without detentioni in six days, and must
say that a person travelling over the route
sees quite fine specimen ofthis world II
has its up and downs, and the scenery is
from the commonplace to the sublime,
the grand part comes in occasionally.
The land is good, bad and indifferent, the
two latter qualities predominating. Come
to travel 900 miles over land that is not
worth the recording of deed, person
begins to think that all is not gold that
glitters, for sure there is glitter enough of
sand and alkali on this trip. The main
thing that attracts attention on this trip
is the immense herds of cattle to be seen
on the road. There is no use estimating
them You are told that one herd seen
right in the desert numbers between
three and four Thousand, and that is not
over one third of the mans stock What
they live on is a conundrum. / could see
nothing but sand and sage brush; still the
cattle looked fat and nice But / will tell
YOU more of this when | get home. am
here at San Francisco, and to my notion
it is as uncomfortable place as | ever
saw. Every afternoon the wind blows
hard and cold. Ladies on the streets
hurry along with sealskin cloaks, and the
gents inovercoats. This is not overdrawn.
The city is full of strangers, and all ours
ing the weather. | have been down to
San Jose and visited our old friend Chas.
Ridley, and of him and his fruit ranch l
will tell you more in my next. The
weather is better there, in fact it is fine.
Dry to be sure, but things about there look
prosperous The fruit crop is immense"

FLANDREAU, d. r., July 20, 1888.
Mr.. Editor:-I send you few lines con-
corning this part of Dakota, thinking
they may be of interest to your readers
| came to Moody county one year ago
last April, and | find Il nice, healthy
country, well adapted to farming and
stock raising. We have plenty of run
ming water and good grass for hay and
grazing. Crops are looking fine. | have
some wheat that stands t feet inches
high, with heads on it 1 inches long.
Some say it will go from 80 to - bushels
per acre. Oats, flax and barley look ex-
ceedlngly WELL and promise large yield.
Corn is doing well and potatoes are tine.
While reading in your paper of July 18th
| saw that MIR. Akers and Mr. Spaulding.
of IIartland, spent Il week in Dakota,
and saw fields of wheat inches high
heading out 1t was not stated in what
part of Dakota they were in, but | assure
you if they were to come to Moody coun-
ty they would tell a different story.
They got into the wrong place. Moody
county is situated in the southeastern por-
ton of Dakota, and has population of
about 1000 inhabitants. Flandreau is
the county seat, and is situated in the
center OF the county. 1t has popula-
ton OF about 800. 1t has | Touring mill,

tate and law offices, 3 livery stables, /
paint shop, and machinery depots.
The country is gently rolling, with good
drainage We have no timber nearer
than Lake Benton, which is twenty miles
northeast of here. Now | would say to
those who contemplate coming to Dakota
to visit Moody county before they settle.
OF course there is no government laid
here, but land is selling all the way from
50 to s. per acre, according to improve
ments and location, and still on the rise.
