What q Former Missourian Thinks Of
Dakota.
DICKINSON PRESS:

DICKINSON PRESS:
AS many complaints have been
made of my failing to answer the
numerous letters I receive, and va
rious questions asked regarding the
country around Dickinson, and the
charcter of the people, it is impossi-
BILE for one to answer all, except
through the Press and although
have been from home over year I
have not felt that could give an ac-
curate answer to all the questions
asked. Twill give you my opinion.
Dickinson is thriving place. the
county seat of Stark county, with as
good society as that of any town 1
seen in the east. The land in Stark
county is a gentle rolling prairie with
here and there high butte. The
soil is rich and well adapted for
raising wheat, oats and all kinds of
vegetables. What I have seen of
corn looked we'll. We have had
quite a drouth here this season, but
the corn was very little wilted in the
hottest days of July, and have seen
wheat sown on the sod of first break
ing, in May, that 1 believe would
yield ten bushels per acre and it had
but little rain. The berry was
large and plump. I saw wagon
load of turnips last week that meas
ured from four to five inches in di-
ameter. / recollect when it was
thought Kansas would never mako
an agricultural state, when settlers
would have starved put for succor
from the eastern states. Hundreds
left their claims. Look at Kansas
now, still holding 100000 bushels
of wheat of last years crop and about
the same quantity of corn. believe
that northwest Dakota will be one of
the best wheat countries in the
world, and is equally as good for
stock. Water and coal are to be had
by digging and there are some good
springs. l have taken q claim with
the intention of making Dakota my
home. The best information con-
cerning Stark county is to be obtained
by taking the DICKINSON Press.
The resources of the soil here have
not been fairly developed, yet have
potatoes raised from the sod Of the
first breaking, that are as large as
want them. This soil will stand more
drouth and more rain than any have
ever seen. The Northern Pacific
railroad company, through many dis
advantages, has opened the way to
homes for thousands of the laboring
class of America and also of the
starving people of Europe. The COM
pany has accomplished wonders: it
has one of the best roads in the coun-
try; it has the best of rolling stock;
it's employees are all trustworthy men.
1t is putting extensive improvements
in Dickinson. The company has
some fine land. here for those who
prefer to buy; for information write
to N. G. Lawrence, Dickinson.

The Freight Line From Dickinson to
the Black Hills to be Established.

SA.S SAs>N.s
BY the first of October business
between here and the Black Hills
will be established which is of the
greatest Importance to this town, and
will go far towards making it the boom
ing banner city of the West Missouri
country. This business is the estab-
lishment of freight line between
the two points. To transport the
large tonnage of freight, which will
amount to over 100000 pounds
yearly, will require large number of
teams and men. 1t will necessitate
the erection of a large warehouse in
which to store the freight. This be-
ing on the main line of the Northern
Pacific will he the outtitting point for
these freighters which will make
business Of all kinds lively. 1t is un-
derstood that proper arrangements
have been completed with the North
ern Pacific by which all this freight,
which now goes by the Pierre route
will be carried from Dickinson. Mr..
]. F. Wardner, an extensive freight
contractor from the Black Hills was
here this week talking the matter
over with many of our citizens and
is making preparations for the trans
portation of this freight. Besides a
large freighting outfit which he owns,
he will engage number of teams
from others. He will leave here in
day or so with committee of our
citizens for the purpose of viewing
the new route and ascertaining what
is necessary to put the road in good
condition.

Telling Figures From Dakota.
New York Mercantile Journal.


For terrstory, Dakota has been
lately claiming more attention than
any Of her sisters, and indeed it may
we'll be doubted whether her brilliant
record in settlement and improve
ment ever has been, or ever will be
again equalled. Since the Northern
Pacific railroad struck across her
wheat fields which, as yet untitled,
await only the p1ow of the settler to
entitle him to the possession of q
homestead, immigrants have been
swarm!ng thither from over-popu-
lated European countries, and the
Sons of our western farmers have
taken their little families and mi.
grated i'll large numbers to gain for
their own the extended and valuable
farming lands and thus avoid further
division on the paternal farm. Some
idea of the growth of this section
may be formed when it is considered
that within a year, according to the
agricultural department., the wheat
acreage has increased about fifty per
cent, or more definitely stated thus:
acreage in 1882, 100000; 1883, l,074,-
600. AS wheat is one of the profit
able farming crops, and little money
is required to enable one in that Sec
tion at present to harvest an abnnd-
ant yield, it goes without saying that
Dakota will escape the severe years
of poverty and struggle so familiar
an accompaniment of pioneer settling
as to be looked upon as an objection
almost inseparable from it. Tho
mass of the people now resorting to
Dakota are honest, Industrious and
enterprising. For trade, therefore,
no section seems to offer better in
ducements to men of energy, pos
sessing knowledge of general mer-
chandising, but with only u limited
capital to commence with.
According to the land laws the testi-
mony of witnesses for persons
making final proof to their claims
can be taken before notary puplic.
The testimony must be full and COM
plete, leaving no doubt rs to the ac~
tual residence and cultivatio

In the Whole History Of
Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained SO
wide a reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases of the
throat and lungs. Its long-continued
series Of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieving suffering, and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by it's timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford to be without 1t,
and those who have once used 1t never
will. From their knowledge of its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PECToRAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
dts healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.
For sale by all druggists.

A CHANGE.

With this issue two changes are
made in the TRIBUNE. The size of the
paper is reduced and finer type is used
in setting the news matter. By using
the finer type and putting the news in
more condensed form we will give our
patrons as much reading matter as we
could do with the larger size paper and
coarse type. After this, too, the patent
insides" will be wholly discarded and
we will give our readers paper that
is home production in every respect.
We believe these changes will meet
with general approval.

Anglo American Circus.

The circus has come and gone again.
The Anglo American Menagerie and
Circus when compared with Barnum
or Coles show falls considerably be-
low grade but when compared with
those of ordinary character it will
rank well. The animals though not
great in number were interesting
specimens and the performance in the
ring was ordinarily good. Theper-
forming of the two children upon the
trapese was quite remarkable.
Orton's riding too was excellent and
the tumblers and other performers
were generally good. There were
however some Objectionable features.
: The ring-master was one OF the poor
est we ever saw. In handling the
trained dogs he used the whip SO I'M
necessary and exhibited so much
native brutality that he made the
audience indignant. In the evening
one or two riders must have been
drunk for no sober person who can
ride at all would do SO poorly.
The management was uniformly
Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1883-09-26

gentlemanly and honest. All bills
were paid promptly and as much as
possible was done to protect patrons
from pick-pockets and like vermin
who always follow i'll the wake OF
such an enterprise. On the whole
there is no cause for complaint. 1t
was a pretty good show, and it had
the usual concert afterwards and
enough side shows to suit the most
curious. 1t was here until Sunday

f'OcOanntS as a Diet.

The FIJI Times, in recent article, calls at
tention to the immense utility of the coo oanut
as an article Of food, and tue valuable quail
ties which it has for sustaining nutrition.
The following il stance is given in the case of q
vessel that once left San Francisco with 400
passengers for Sydney. which, in consequence
Of running short OF stores. had to put in at
Samsa Were large quantity Of cocoanuts
were obtained. During the remainder of the
passage very heavy weather was encountered,
in which the vessel became waterlogged, and
only reached Sydney after q perilous journey
of eighty days, during which time all the pro
dren were fed only upon cocoanuts, being at
last reduced to one per diem for each
adult Notwithstanding the diet, not
life was lost and not 3 single case Of sick
ness occurred, the passengers landing in =
healthy and wel-nonrlshed condition. In an-
other instance, two men drlf;ed in whale boat
on to Qusils Island, where they remained for
seven years before they were taken off. They
had no food beyond q chance flying fish and
cocoanuts, and yet when rescued we're in ex-
client condition end had gained in weight
