Tuesday was terror" so to speak
as to weather. N. G. Lawrence ar
rived from Dickinson on Monday
evening, and brought a Dakota bliz-
zard up with him. 1t has warmed up
in the Yellowstone valley since Mr..
Lawrence re-crossed the boundary
line.-Glendive Times.
Whenever they have a blizzard in
the "Sunny Yellowstone" valley the
Times tries to palm it off on con-
tiding public as a Dakota blizzard.
The facts are that at the time Mr..
Lawrence left here for Glendive the
mercury stood at about go degrees
above zero and has remained 50 ever
since. This makes several items we
have noticed in that paper about their
bad weather while all the time we
have been having the finest kind here.
The 'Sunny Yellowstone" is not so
sunny after all. Trump up some
other excuse, Bro. Mabee, for your
bad weather. Or, what is better,
change the name to the Stormy Yel-
lowstone.
A large space on the Dickinson
farm has been fenced in and will be
planted with trees. Persons taking
claims around here should set out
trees as nothing adds more to the
appearance and value of farm than
to have nice lot of thrifty trees
growing. II. L. Dickinson has about
5000 box alder and cottonwood trees
which he will sell at the low rate of
80 cents per hundred.
Ed. Davis has painted a handsome
sign for Davis & Fowler, above the
front door of their business house.
Ed. has done large amount of work
in this country and says the carpenter
work on the Lawrence & Collister
building is the finest he has seen in
the west.
S. 7. johnson, formerly of Miles
City, will go into business here. He
will erect a two story building on
Sims street 24x60.

Contracts were recently signed for
clearing and grading sixty miles Of
the Wisconsin Division of the North
ern Pacific Railroad, from Superior to
Ashland. At the latter place the road
will reach third good lake harbor,
and will secure a new connection to
Milwaukee and Chicago by way of the
Wisconsin Central Railroad. With
its three lake termini at Duluth, Su-
perior and Ashland, the Northern
Pacific will occupy a commanding
position in relation to the commerce
of Lake Superior.---Northwest.
The large amount of grain that has
been seeded near town will necessi-
tate the hertllng of stock now running
at large. MIR. S. Burnside proposes
starting a town herd and will herd all
stock at the low rate of $l.0O per head
per week.
Mr.. A. Leach, after spending sew
eral days here looking the country
over with a view to locating stock
ranch, has returned to his home in
Oshkosh, Wis. He together with
other gentlemen will probably put in
a large herd near here.

They Cannot Stop Immigration.
Fargo Republican.


So many people are leaving the east
and coming out to Dakota where they
can obtain lands, make homes and be-
come independents, that the newspa.
pers throughout the eastern states are
rcsorting to every kind of misrepre.
sentation in order to, i'll some measure,
deter such wholesale migration to the
North West. Many of them are
taking the murder of the Ward boys
at Devils Lake as a text, and trying
to show from that tragedy, that Da-
kota is a wild, lawless and nearly un-
civilized country. Nothing could be
further from the truth. There is
more laWleSsness and crime in the
very communities in which those
newspapers are published than there
is in Dakota. There is perhaps, 10
part of the country east or west, north
or south freer from crimes and the
criminal class than North Dakota.
The rough elements do not come to
this region. The man that comes
here must work if he would win the
prize that is within the reach of ev-
cry honest, Industrious immigrant.
Roughs and criminals do not seek the
land where nothing but labor can win.
They never work unless when they
are compelled to in reformatory insti-
tutions or penitentiaries. But every
thing out of which something can be
made to tell against Dakota, is seized
upon and made the most of by the
press in the east. The efforts of these
papers, however, will not avail much,
as there are thousands of intelligent
men and women here from all over
the east, who are in constant commu-
nication with their friends and rel
atives there, and they will refute the
false statements made by the papers
there. The territory is rapidly filling
up, and with the very best and most
enterprising class of people and the
efforts of those interested newspapers
will be as futile as the attempt of Mrs.
harrington to sweep back the waves
of the Atlantic with her broom.
These immigrants have been pouring
into North Dakota all this spring and
hundreds are daily arriving. They
are spreading out all over the prairies,
putting up houses and barns, breaking
the land, putting in crops. They
have come to stay and have a hand
in building up the great bread sup
plying empire of the world.

GLENULL1N.
Another Colony Locates in the West
Missouri Country.

Another Colony Locates in the West
Missouri Country.
The people who compose the new
town of Glenullin and who were To-
Gated under the supervision of the
Northern Pacific Dakota Coloniza-
tion Bureau, of Ripon, Wis.,, are GER
iainly such class as will he of great
benefit to new country. a large
number of these people are from
Cleveland, Ohio, while the rest of the
colony is made up from Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Illinois, numbering in
all about seventy-tive families. Many
of them had never before seen Il fine
prairie land and were enthusiastic in
their praise of the beautiful
country that stretched out before
them. AS they stood on the ground
which in Il short time will be dotted
over with the new homes of this
happy people, it reminded one of the
deliverance of the chileren of Isreal.
The townsite was selected by j. S.
Let's. secretary of the Colonization
Bureau, and could not have been
better. Situated rs it is, sixty miles
west of the Missouri river in a beau
tiful valley, surrounded by as fine
farming land as can be found any
where in this country, good coal,
water and timber in abundance, it
will soon become Il prosperous town.
surrounded by which will be the
homes of the happy farmer. The
families from Cleveland were under
the leadership of Mr.. Isaac Richards.
DIR. S. q. Morgan, the colony physi-
clan, was unanimously elected post
master. The colonists brought great
many horses and cattle with them
together with the necessary farm
machinery. They all seemed anxious
to locate their farms and get to work.
The ladies' all seemed to be we'll
pleased with their new home and
went about preparing their meals as
though they were old pioneers.
Tuesday evening the colony was
called together in the immigrant
house and speeches made by Rev. j.
$. Let's, DR.. j. l.. Hall, DR.. S. O. Nor
gan, Major A. f. Bovay and DR.. J.. b.
Mcdonald, all of which were to the
point and we'll received. That of DIR.
Mcdonald, illustrating different phas-
es of western life and giving some
sound advice, was frequently applaud
ed. Several others made remarks and
the meeting adjourned amid the best
of feeling, all thankful that they were
safely in the promised land.
A few words to the colonists. Many
of you have left comfortable homes
and friends to seek for yourselves
new homes in new country-to bet
ter your condition. You will meet
with hardships for the first year or SO
and there will come many a dark day.
All will not he sunshine; but always
remember that the darkest hour is
just before dawn, and push manfully
forward to victory and success. The
pure air of Dakota will inspire you
with new life. In coming to the west
Missouri country you have made a
wise choice. You have come to a
country where farming is pleasure
as well as a profit. Stick to it, and in
few years you will be proud to say
you are citizen of Dakota, the great
north star state in the galaxy of our
union.

Too Honest.

Uncle D. P. Oliver, now a prosperous
stOrekeeper in prosperous Iowa village,
once practiced law in Ohio. Being met
by an old acquaintance, he was asked for
all the particulars of his giving up the
profession.

Didn't it Pay?'
"Flirst-rate."
''OIeet with sufficient favor from the
courtsY'

"Then what was it compelled you to
quit it?"
''Well, I'll tell you'll was too honest"
A loud laugh from the by-standers
aroused Uncle David into earnestness,
and he repeated the strange statement,
and nailed it to his shop counter with his
huge fist. But his cross questioner went
on:
"When did you find this outT'

But didn't the evidence prove his
guilt?''

"Then why do you say he was limo
