out Of Dakota and Montana without the aid
of the Northern Pacific. This is not as 1t
should be. There is no good reason why the
Northern Pacific should not carry the great
bulk Of the cattle in and out Of the grazing
grounds of the northwest.
The new governor already observes this:
1t is wonderful how rapidly your young towns
spring up and become thriving villages. I
notice that in many places large portion of
the inhabitants of the country have their
winter residences for winter and their
cheaply built cottages on the farms, for sum-
mer. In this way there is no reason why all
the advantages of schools and churches, and
society In general, can not be enjoyed in
Dakota, especially in the winter season, as
well as in the older states. And think this
one reason why your villages grow so rapid
ly and become the conters Of so much civili-
cation in so short time. There is no ques-
ton in my mind but that in very few years
Dakota will become thickly settled especially
cost Of the Missouri, and win be one of the
richest and best states in the Union.
The Groton Eagle, in Brown county, says:
sour artesian well, just finished at depth
of 954 feet, is the greatest known well in the
whole northwest. It discharges 1000 gal
Ions of water per minute and has pressure
of 1877 pounds to the square inch. The pres
sure is thirty-three pounds greater than the
well at Aberdeen, and fifty pounds greater
than the well at Andover. There is an es-
timated force of seventy horse power in our
well, capable of running a fifty barrel -four
ing mill. The idea of steam to propel ma
| chinery in the Jim valley Is exploded. Ar
tesian wells will yet be in common use here
for driving all stationary machinery. Our
well is capable of carrying two inch stream
OF water one-half mile and elevate it sixty
feet high. Such power for fire purpose has
never been equaled By any fire engine"
Col. Lounsberry relates that at the recent
convention in Emmons county natives from
Bismarck got up the meetings in the pre-
cincts and had delegates appointed who,
twenty-five out of the forty, gave proxies,
and one or two men under the direction of
the Bismarck parties run the convention on
these proxies. The colonel says he does not
object to this because it is the way politics
are run in Dakota. He is a veteran slayer
and knows all about it. No doubt he is cor
rect. The people take little part in the
movements and leave the matter in the
VI Ilo WIZ ndfe dACe W
grind. If the Pierre convention does not
comprise proxies from majority of the del
egates elected it will be novelty, and per-
haps the first not so. 1t is expensive attend
ing conventions with the long distances to
travel and limited facilities, and few like to
Bear the expense.
The argus has procured reports from
county officers in nearly all the counties OF
the territory Of the names of the delegates tc
Pierre, with the feeling in regard to delegate
to congress, division and the location of the
capital. 1t appears that Raymond bus sixty
eight in the north and eleven in the south
instructed for him. The convention will
have about 394 votes. There is no opposi-
ton to division in any quarter. The north
is satisfied with Bismarck as the capital, and
there is no disposition in the south to dis.
turb it If division can be had at an early day.
In order to secure this 1t is the general feel
ing in the south that the delegate should
come from that section. They raise no OBJ
lection to Raymond, who is regarded as q
quiet, inoffensive man, but lacking weight
and force at Washington. Interest is d.
rected to Pierre this week where a good dea
Of political caloric is expected to be evolved
