There is remarkable falling of in
immigration to Manitoba this year from
the last, when much suffering vas occa-
stoned by insufficient preparations for
living in what was then an inhospitable
country. But the province is gradually
filling up and with the advance of rail-
roads and other improvements it is des-
tined to he popular and prosperous.

Winter wheat is not looking 50 well
this spring as last, and reports indicate
a considerable prospective falling off IN
the yield. The last crop was the best
ever grown and Il falling oirof even 90
per ccnt.--the highest cstimate-Will
still leave Il fair crop. But the forth
coming crop depends upon so many con-
ditions that present estimates are purely
conjcctural. Only one thing seems GER
nntakins into account the bad reports
i'om CalIornia-that no one expects so
large Il crop a last year.

Mr.. J. II. Dodge, Statstioan Of the
Agricultural Department, in his report
lately published, concludes that no
country in the world has such excel
lent agricultural machinery as the United
States; hence We import no goods ofthat
sort, for thoscin use in England, France,
Germany and other countries would be
cumbersome and worthless here owing
to the antiquity Of their style and me-
chanism. The farm census in thc re-
port gives the aggregate valne OF the
livestock in the States and Territories
a S2W.33S, li7. The average value OF
horses is s10.59: Of mules, S794o: OF
mich COWS, Si02l; Of other cattle, g. 80
OF sheep, s2.5j; Of swine, 800. These
figures show an increase OF Sl201 on
horses, SS II on mules, si.32 on milch
cows and 81 20 on swine during the year.

glad in this case, gentlemen. while 7
would have been glad to see the capital
located at the village OF Ord way, I am Glad
in this ease that tho infamous. scoun
dreliy he put in circulation BY certain
unprincipled, villainous people, long be.
fore the idea had entered the minds Of
any citizen of Ordwsy to present an On.
plication for the capital, q lie was put In

lob. and for your cake, gentlemen. /
thank you for your action TO-DAY.
Hon. w. F. Steele, Of Steele, and Can.
tstn Hughes, chairman Of the commits.
SION, being called upon, made speeches
quite lengthy and full OF good thinRs.l
The gentlemen present then proceed
Cd to the Continental hotel, and met
Governor Ordway, Who had rooms ct
that famous caravansary. The governor
vas found in the spacious parIors, and
shook hands very cordially With the Wis.
ltors, after which he made the following
remarks:
Gentlemen: After tho battle we
usually look around for the dead and
wounded. but ! am happy to say here to.
night that We have no occasion for an
ambulance or Q surgeon. The citizens
OF Fargo. and of the Red river valley,
and OF all the Dakota. I believe, have
adopted the motto of the chairman Of the
electoral commission, and have concluded
to bow to the inevitable. This location
OF the capital in north Dakota, at Bis
marck, was an unexpected event to me,
and perhaps unexpected to most of the
gentlemen here present. But inssmuch
e the capital has been allowed to remain
ior more than twenty years in the ex-
treme corner of the territory, 1 should
presume that the people OF southern
Dakota, although sone newhat disappointed
that the spot was not selected south
OF the 46th parallel, will be willing to
come to point within fifty miles of the
geological center OF the whole territory.
a point, that II the territory is divided,
VII % convenient for the north, leaving
all OF the splendid capital sites that the
commission have had presented before
them, to select that place for the south.
- nave no speech to make. am one of
the individuals who has been somewhat
disappointed, but can say the people of
Fargo, the people of North Dafota. and
the people Of all the Dskotss. THAT a. the
executive officer Of the territory. I shall trv
to execute the laws, I'shall try and see to
it, 30 far as in my power, that the acts of
the legislature. until they have been de.
clared void by the proper power are car.
ried into effect,and that whether the capi.
