Walt for the Wagon.

Those who contemplate trip east the coming
winter should wait until q party Of acquaint-
anoes and friends can be organized and then all
go together for genuine old-time picnic ride
across the continent in a Pullman car. In this
regard, the Fargo Argus says:
1T is intimated that efforts are being made
to get enough of Dakota citizens who are going
east this winter, to designate as starting time
the latter part of this month or early in Decem.
Der, and all 60 together, making their objective
point either Philadelphia, New York or Wash
inRton, and thus secure a sleeper clear through
from Fargo. Under the compact of all road
no concession in rates can be secured, but the
pleasure of each lothers company as acquain-
tanoes wi II compensate for cut rates. It is in
tended to have parties from Mandan, Bismarck,
Jamestown, Valley City and Grand Forks, with
the Fargo parties included. It is said if twenty"
two persons could be got together, they can
secure sleeper exclusively to themselves. and
1t is believed that two car loads can be secured.
In due time opportunities will be given parties
to join in this trip, and it will be composed of
most excellent people. 1t will be one of the
erandest trips out. The additional comfort of a
dining car can be secured, being attached to the
train at Fargo. Parties going east need not buy
tickets clear through to points named, but can
buy to such points cast as they wish to visit.

Continue the Good Work.

The city council has done much good work for
the city in the way of having sidewalks laid on
streets in the residence portion of the city, and
arc now discussing the very desirable and COM
mendable scheme of extending the Fourth
street sidewalk to point directly opposite tho
desires to see and inspect the capitol, this side
walk should be given pr ecedence over all Others
at present. The capital commissioners are now
having the grounds west of the building graded
and prepared for street, and the grand entrance
for the coming winter will be on the west side.
old graveyard will be the chief obstacle, and as
the unsightly slabs must be removed sooner or
later, further procrastinatien would seem unad-
visable. Bismarck's handsomest building and
the capitol of Dakota is too imposing struc-
ture to be left without sidewalk connection with
the city, and it is hoped that the work will be
pushed immediately. Now is the time to lay
the walk, as dissgreeable weather must soon set
in, and walking in the mud or snow is not the
pleasantest occupation. Letters to the business
men of Bismarck are to the effect that large
numbers OF distinguished gentlemen will visit
the city during the coming winter with view
to looking over the capitol and examining the
conditions for profitable investment.
With a good sidewalk to the capitol, which
will be completed on the interior early in the
winter, the city will be given much better ap-
pearance and the capitol will be brought nearer
to a central position.

The Athmneum Opening.

The Pioneer Fire company will give its annual
ball for 1883 on Thursday evening, November
Is, in the Bismarck Ath@neum. The members
of this, the pioneer company of Bismarck's
efficient fire department, has held these annual
balls every year since their organization, and
have always outrivalled all Others in giving q
pleasurable, foot-shaking banquet. The music
will be the best to be found in North Dakota,
the illumination and decoration of the room
will surpaes the most beautiful picture of the
highest imagination, and as the hall is the larg-
est in the northwest, everybody and his dulcina
should attend. The floor, which is of hard
maple, has been matched and planed, and is a.
smooth and inviting as those of the dream
famed marble halls. As November Is will be
the date of the opening of the largest and finest
hall west of the Mississippi valley or Lake
Superior, this evening will be one of joy.

ance of the compan, in that place, dates which
had been contracted in the east necessitated itfs
abandonment.

territory of Dakota or the entire northwest
The southeast pillar was completed Tuesday

The Congregational association, which re-
Gently convened in Fargo, decided to build
college in North Dakota, and = meeting of the
various ministers will soon be held to decide
demanding more educational and commercial
facilities every dag, this will be valuable ac-
QUESTION to the territory, we'll as the town in
which it is located. It is the intention of the
denomination to erect q creditable structure,
building for the future, and to have it at
convenient and prosperous point. 1t now be-
hooves the people of Bismarck to act promptly
in this matter and secure this valuable institu-
tion. The capital city's location commends her
to the consideration of the coming Congrega-
tional convention, and as bids will be received,
the citizens of Bismarck should make an effort
to win the prize. A school of this kind, which
will bring several hundred young, energetic
people to the city is of more value and import
anoe than any other institution which might be
brought to any community. Aside from the
number of students which it will support, nu-
merous well-to-do families would be induced to
locate in the city in order that they might enjoy
the educational advantages which it will pro-
vide. Already negotiations are on foot for the
donating of the necessary amount Of land "a
site for the building and grounds, and when the
territory to be benefited by the establishment
of the school is taken into consideration, it is
evident that Bismarck's chances to secure the
majority of votes in the convention are good.
The school will be for the use of North Dakota
and eastern Montana, and as the Presbyterian
college has been located at Jamestown, it would
appear that no place east Of Bismarck would be
chosen, while if located here, it will be in good
position for the future. Several of the pastors
have already expressed desire to erect the col
lege in the capital city, and it is to be hoped the
citizens will do their share toward securing it.
