From Mclean County.

EDITOR TRIBUNE: Once more I seize my
rusted pen to send you a few items from town
l44, range SO.
If we are somewhat remote from Bismarck we
still think ourselves very important, more so
since Bismarck has gained the capital. Allow
me to congratulate you, yet there is not much
to congratulate on, for Bismarck situated as it
is near the center of the great territory on the
Missouri, on the Northern Pacific, in the midst
of one of the largest as we'll as the best farm
ing portions of Dakota with its energetic citi-
zens, had little to fear from successful opposi-
ton. From my standpoint a committee com.
posed Of good sensible citizens who would con-
slder the interests of Dakota at large could not
do otherwise but decide as that honorable body
did. We are also making few strides upward
in our town; we now have post office, also. a
from pin to threshing machine. Our crops,
too, look excellent, in fact We do not see how
they could look better at this of the year.
We expect bountiful harvest can he read on
every farmers countenance as he looks over all
his fields of golden grain. James Heath, our
Missouri neighbor, says this is the paradise of
the Western continent. I guess Jim is about
right.
There seems to be some trouble in regard to
the organization Of our county, as several con-
Hicting parties each wish to locate the county
seat, each wish to have commissioners Of their
own choice. We think the county seat should
be as near the center of the county ss practica
BILE on the Missouri, as town on the Missouri
would have many advantages that one or the
prairie would not have and no one could doubt
about the center of the county being the proper
place in regard to east and west. As Conkling
is situated on the Missouri as near center "a
practicable to get good landing, We move that
the conflicting parties compromise and we will
have the county seat at Conkling where it
should be. s. l.. CROsLEY.

The Floods at st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, June 21.-The water gauge tonight
showed rise of seven inches in the river during
the past twenty-four hours and marks thirty
three feet eight inches. The levee is almost en-
tirely flooded and steamers find great difficulty
in transacting business. No material change in
the situation, ,on this side of the river. The ad-
ditional rise has covered a little more low land
in the northern part Of the city and two or
three mills in that part of the city have shut
down but apart from this nothing is reported.
No damage to property in East st. Louis will
ensue. Toe Madison dyke was considered very
unsafe this morning but 300 men worked on it
all day and it is reported strong tonight.
Officers of steamers which arrived from Cairo
and from the Missouri river report large
amount of bottom land flooded and great dam
age to crops. The rainfall tonight is very heavy
to the north and west of US and Indications now
are that all the rivers will continue to rise per-
haps two days and give in one to two feet more
water, in which case there will be great damage
in this city and East St Louis.

street Railway.

An association is being formed for building
street railway at Bismarck and capitalists are
on the ground who are willing to put up the
money necessary if charter can be obtained.
Action should be taken On this matter at once.
Capital seekin investment should be given an
opportunity. The parties who are agitating the
matter mean business. At Fargo they trot out
street car whenever the trains come in and it
serves the purpose of advertising to excellent
advantage. In Bismarck there is real neces-
sity for line extending from the river to
Qninlan's corner at least and from the Sheridan
to capitol square.
