this vicinity.
The projectors of the new town Of
Glenullin down along the line have
commenced work and the first of next

Ohio in their new homes at that
place. Your correspondent was at

good things of Western Dakota are
present, viz: Coal, water and both
bottom and table land. Several
streams are found in the district sur
rounding the town.

A Home For All.

We say there is no place like Da
kota and invite the farmer who is
working on a rented farm in the east
to come to Dakota where you can have
one of your own. Come where you
can get 1870 acres of the finest soil on
Gods green footstool given to you by
the government. Come where the
golden grain is waved by the geltle
breeze until it looks like a vast sea.
Farmers good honest tillers of the
soil-are the men who are bound to
succeed in this grand prairie land.
You who are sweating and toiling
from year to year and paying your
hard earned money over to the land
owner, come, and we will welcome
you as Dakotians. Come where you
can build for yourself comfortable
home with your labor, and be indie }.
pendent and free. Come where you
can start on an equal footing with
your neighbor and success and happi-
ness will crown your pathway through
life. Young man if you are just
starting in life, you, too, should come
to Dakota and reap that reward which
is sure to follow if you are not afraid
to handle the plow. There is life
Of usefulness and prosperity here for
you. Come then, and do not let the
opportunity pass. 1t is only matter
of a few years when this free land
will all be taken up, and then too late,
too late, will be the cry. The day
is not far distant when you will have
to pay from $40 to 800 per acre for
this land that is now free. Come now.
and in after years you will look back
with pride to the day you planted
your foot OIL Dakota soil. Come
where the grasshopper is unknown
but where the golden grain proclaims
to the world the homes of a happy
and contented people. Honest me-
chanic in the over.crowded work
shops and factories of the east. there
is a home here for you. Come and
secure it, and the pure Dakota air
will bring color to that pale cheek
and health to that brokendown con-
stitution. Come and breathe the pure
air which will make new man of
you and give you new lease on life.
Do not stay there and toll on from
day to day striving to make both ends
meet, but come to the poor mans
paradise. Come, and success yours.
Life will then be a blessing instead
of a burden. The capitalist will also
find good investments here for his
money and he too should come. Let
all who desire to better their condi.
tion, health and happiness come.
Stay not, when such an opportunity
is offered you. Come to the west
Missouri country, the garden spot of
this grand territory. Come to Stark
county the center of this paradise.

The Movement West.
Mandan Pioneer.

The movement from the east to the
west is more extensive this year, per.
haps, than ever before. The immi-
grants have learned that the greatest
wisdom was not to travel due west in
an air line, but to diverge in a north.
erly direction, and that is why we OH
the Missouri slope are getting so many
people. There are those who in sen.
timental moments have associated
the acme of bliss with a climate that
was all summer, land where no
biting frosts trouble the inhabitants
and where families could pass the
livelong years beneath shady trees,
eating juicy fruits and being be-
yond the necessity of labor. There is
IL class of people, however, who, if
they ever dreamed of this, have come
to their senses and realized that the
greatest happiness comes to the hard
est workers.
The average immigrant does not
look for all sunshine in this world.
Some there are who do, and for these
we have no use. We can spare them
for Texas, California OF Arizona. We
want the people who possess an ele-
ment of dissatisfaction in their ma
lures. We want those who can ap-
preciate the particle of falsity which
exists in that oft quoted old maxim
which urges people to ''let we'll enough
alone" The immigrant to this side
of the Missouri (and, for that matter
to the other side. too, for all we know)
is very practical man us a rule. He
wants value for his money and labor.
He believes in going to a region
where the soil is fertile, land cheap,
markets good, society congenial and
the general conditions of life agree
able. He knows that a region which
has four seasons in the year in a nat.
nral fashion is, taking all in all, better
| for the man of muscle and brain than
one where a long summer prevails.
1t woule be interesting to see Il re.
gion on Gods earth which offers to
the eastern man greater advantages
than those that are offered between
the Missouri river and the Montana
line on the Northern Pacific railroad.
A more promising land than this is
indeed an undiscovered country. Why
shorld the immigrant stop short of
this region and take the leavings of
men who are quitting their old home.
steads and focking out here! AS a
matter of fact we are highly gratifed
at the sight of the crowds who are
pouring in this direction. We feel
that we are getting our full share.
But the people of this section are so
delighted with the glorious inherit.
ance which they have become pos.
sessed of that they want their neigh.
bors and friends in the more barren
east to come likewise and share in the
blessings of a bountiful nature. 10
the east the great northwest stretches
out a hand of welcome, promising
health, wealth and happiness to all
who come.

Complaint is frequently made by those
who use baking powders that they leave in
bread. biscuit or cake raised by them diss-
greeable, bitter taste. This TASTE follows
the u,e of all impure baking powders, and is
caused either by their containing alum tin-
trrdncsd to make . cheap article), by the
impure and aduiteratei character Of other
Ingredients used. or from the ignorance Of
their manufacturers of the proper method Of
combining them. These baking powders
leave in the bread residuum of lime, earth.

ways, though frequently tastable in the food,
and by all physicians classed as injurious to
health. The Royal Baking Powder is free
from this serious defect. IL its use no resid-
uum is left, and the loaf raised always by it
is always sweet. light and wholesome. and
noticeably free from the taste complained Of.
The reason Of this is because it is composed
of nothing but absolutely pure materials, sci
entifcally combined in exactly the proper
proportions of acid and alkali to act upon
aud destroy each other, while producing the
largest amount of raising power. We are
justified in this assertion from the unauali-
ned statements made by the Government
chem,sts. who, after thorough end exhaust

erpmental use because of its superiority over
all others in purity. strength and wholesome.

Ts The Trade.

1t is surprising fact that our merchants
do not always act Tor their oGn interests.
Years ago Walls Nalls was the distributing
point, for all the wide expanse OF country
east of the Cascades, but since the advent Of
railroads, new towns have sprung up all
around her, and the local trade, as a conse-
queuce, has fallen off, though if plu K and
energy had been one Of the characteristics of
her tradesmen, the same volume Of business
could still be transacted at this point, though
in new channels. There is no commercial
city IN the country to-day, that has reached
any degree Of superiority, without much
hard work and corresponding amount Of
close competition with other cities, who are
equally well adapted. both geogral lhically
and Financially, for a supply depot III their
section Of country.
So we may say for example, our city rs To-
Gated in the heart Of the best portion OF As

see TO them personally, and allow as close

and the result will be that people through

This is one oi the laws of trade. and can
not fail to be of great benefit IN bring ng our

think OF this matter, and be on the alert to
