The James River Valley railroads now
being graded between LaMoure and
jamestown. It is also located from Ord
way northward and work will be com
menced at once.
Grand Forks is constructing roller end
ice skating rink on quite large plan. IN
north Dakota establishments of that kind,
if well advertised are well patroniled. Far
go needs an ice rink. and has a good roller
rink. It is time for the subject to receive
the attention of skaters.
The Bismark Tribune says that the
'salleged decision is fraud" and that ''the
building still goes on" Bismarck may
learn sometime that a decision OF the
supreme court is not fraudulent, even if
it does not coincide with the ideas of some
Of its rattle-headed politicians and news
paper men.
The jamestown Alert, heretofore rank
supporter of the capitol commission, has
changed its tune and believes in unfolding
the law. Editor Mcclure thinks that the
donation of capitol building and grounds
would have an immense influence with the
next legislature in determining location
for the capitol, when it was legally re-
moved from Yankton.
1t is now generally admitted, though the
directors will say nothing about it, that
the bonds of the Fargo Southern are to be
| taken by the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST..
Paul road. Ex-General Manager Sargent,
OF the Northern Pacific, made the arrange
ment between the directors and the CAPT
taHsts, and it is said he has been made
president of the company. If this is the
case, and indications seem to point that
way, Fargo will be no better of for the
road as the pooling proclivities Of the G.
NJ. & st. p. are well known.
! A journalistic warfare, similar, in some
respects, to that which has been SO long

fore as much injury has been done to
Grand Forks as Fargo has already suffered
from that cause, in the dividing Of senti

| On the twenty first day of September
the Jamestown Capital recorded the first
anniversary of the annual birthday of it,
existence. The Capital is a bright spark
ling paper, well gotten up, well filled with
advertisements, and is always at the front
in enterprise. 1t has but one peculiarly
in its general get up which is detrimental
to its efficiency, and that is its ultra good
goodness, which reminds one Of that class
of church people and preachers that hon.
orable men are likely to watch, when in
contact with them. Jamestown may at
tribute large portion of her success and
life during the past year to the enterprise
of the Capital and its pushing manage
ment.
few days ago, Swede, who had re
Gently arrived in this country and was al
work near East Grand Forks, was taken
sick. He started for Grand Forks, arc
his strength failing, he laid down on the
sidewalk. An alleged doctor took from
him his last dollar for writing a prescrip-
ton, and some benevolent people bou ght
the medicine, and he was started on the
way back across the river. Giving out
again he got into an old abandoned house
on the point, where he spent that night on
wisp of hay for a bed. The following
day the deputy sheriff of East Grand Forks
was informed and the man was removed
to comfortable quarters, but he died i'm
mediately after his removal. Such case
is disgraceful to any locality. If some of
the alleged christian ministers in that
locality would let up preaching at the
prostitutes and gamblers, and practice a
little common humanity, such reports as
the above would not be possible.
