This year Dakota territory grasps
the laurels for immense crops, metal

We raised more corn, flax, wheat,
oats, delved more gold and silver, and
sold more cattle and hogs than any
state in the Union, upon the basis of
allotted population. Besides all this,
look ut our educational and church
facilities, railways, population, pub.

SOUTH HEART.

This new town is west of Dickin.
son near the western border of the
county and is yet in its infancy,l md
with the good farming and stock
country surrounding it will soon
come into prominence as ono of our
best towns. It has general store
and good class of citizens who will
miss no opportunity to bring the adj
vantages Of their town before the
public.
The above are few facts relative
to the advantages Of the several
towns mentioned. Much more might
be written of them without going be-

stockman, whether his herd is large
or small, can afford the investment.
If it saves only one stray, saying
nothing of range protection, it will

The Peculiar Features Of Our Climate.

DICKINSON, ID. T. Nov. Is, 1884.
The peculiar features of our cli-
mate were illustrated in our recent
November freeze up. On the 2lst
there came our first light snow;
weather mild and calm. On the 22nd
little more snow, light east wind,
little colder. On the morning of
the 23d it was clear, no wind; per.
fectly pleasant and comfortable to be
out, and at o'clock p. M. the mer-
curry went up to 48e in the SUN, while
it was AZ below in the shade, In the
morning it was 22a below, and it was
pleasant and comfortable to work out
without a coat. The morning of the
Oath required more clothing for COM
fort. owing to light east wind,
while the mercury was up to 500. In
the afternoon we got the warm CHI
nook, and the snow was thawing fast.
AS write it is mild and thawing
and our pleasant December weather
will probably commence soon. We
have had since the 2lst about S inches
of snow. Such peculiarly mild, pleas
ant weather when the mercury is d
to 22e below zero will seem very
strange to our friends east, who us,,-
ally get sharp, cutting, damp winds
on their cold days. The fact that we
get the benefit of 52s of heat from
the suns rays, above the tempera-
ture of the air, will also seem very
strange to an eastern man, but it ac-
counts for our fat stock in the winter
and spring and shows that while the
mean temperature of our winters
may be lower than in Maryland, yet
owing to our remarkable atmosphere
and air currents it is practically 52s
warmer here than on the Atlantic
slope, with the same degree of tenn.
perature. A very few of our worst
days, when we get the damp east
wind may be excepted from the
above rule, but fortunately we have
very little east wind and it is usually
but little below the freezing point
when we get them, although it gives
us our most rigorous, uncomfortable
weather. Although it is late in the
fall the country is still advancing in
needed improvements. There is Il
mill for grinding by horse power
near Gladstone which makes good
Graham flour and by sitting will
make nearly white bread. 1t also
makes superior corn meal and buck
wheat -four. They grind every We'd
nesday-farmers and others take no.
tice. The mill has already put down
the price of corn meal to three cents
per pound. Mr.. Lee, of Gladstone,
has the foundation laid for his steam
mill, with the roller or Hungarian
process for making high grade flour.
So the country still moves along,
with a bright future in prospect.
There is the finest chance for mill
here at Dickinson of any point on the
railroad, within one hundred miles
and the man who takes the chance
will make splendid investment.
l know of no town between Mandan
and Glendive that has so large and
fertile all agricultural country to
bring trade and business to it as this,
and it will all be settled in very
few years beyond doubt. A coun-
try so remarkably healthy and salu-
brious, with unrivalled fertility and
productiveness, an excellent prospect
for good home market and good
facilities to ship any surplus to Eu-
rope, with many other great natural
advantages, cannot long remain un-
occupied by our enterprising Ameri-
can people.

IT seems to us that it would be
wise for all the little newspapers near
the line of the +. M. n p. or for that
matter, wherever the i. d. Q. exists
to malign its officers, impugn its mo-
tivcs, SANDER all persons connected
with IT, villify the whole concern,
suppress everything that could be
construed into a word of encourage
ment, and unite to drive it from the
country. Ofcourse we don't need any
railroads. We wouldn't be bothered
with them. They are great, dan
gerous, grasping monopolies. 1t is
too much to pay from / cents to 3
cunts per mile for transportation. 1t
would be better and cheaper to hire

You could then go as you pleased.
Railroads bring too many strangers

They are a dangerous thing and

satisfaction that way If we can't stop

Do not forget that life is worth
every effort that is put forth for its
preservation, and no matter what the
ailment or disease you should not
give up to the fell destroyer without
making every effort in your power to
counterfeit his advances, and to re-
gain your health and strength. Yes,
please remember that DR.. S. Is. Hart
man, OF Pittsburgh, has discovered a
remedy called Pcruna, which, al
though not warranted to cure every
disease incident to this climate and
humanity in general, yet it has per-
formed some cures which were almost
miraculous in their nature. Pcruna
is composed Of the purest of ingredi-
ents, and no minera. poison is allow
ed to enter into it under any consid-
GRAFTON, and hence It is always a sure
and safe remedy. Give it a trial, and
you will like it.

LOCAL RAILROAD NoTEs.-A num-
Der Of the hands on the road have
quit to visit their homes and spend
the Fourth. While this is true yet
there is scarcely a perceptible dimin-
ution in the progress Of the work.
Matters are being pushed with en-
ergy everywhere between this place
and Fairmont. We learn to-day that
about 800 men are engaged upon the
bridge at the mouth Of Buffalo and
that a sufficient force will be kept
steadily at work to insure it's com
pletion before the other contracts can
be finished.
The location of the bridge is no
doubt great disappointment to the
residents of Palatine, but the railroad
company knew it's business best and
had sufficient reasons for its action.
The f., NJ. Il p. has finally decided
to bridge the Monongahela river at
or near Buffalo creek, about "a miles
below Fairmont. The contract for
the masonry was awarded to Messrs.
Kelly 4 Ryan. Of Wheeling, on We'd
ncsday last. The engineers estimates
place the cost of the constructive
at $4,000. 1t is to be 100 feet long,
extending diagonally across the river,
with 4 piers in the river, and is to
be built on a grade to the B. d 0.
track at that point, or about 10 feet
above high water.

A LIVE BIcYcLrsr ON OUR STREETS.
Mr.. Jno. v. Stephenson, of Green's
burg, Pa, attracted considerable at
tention by rolling into town few
evenings ago on his bicycle, having
travelled from Waynesburg by way Of
Blacksville, distance of 30 miles in
about five hours. Mr.. Stephenson
remained over night at the Wallace
House, and in the morning at the
request of some Of our citizens gave
some interesting exhibitions of his
skill. Some young men arranged with
George jackson to run a race with
the bicycle. George was timid at
first, but was persuaded by a little
purse to try it. George thought he
could do it easily, though he assured
all that "a fellow would have to thow
foot mighty lively" George had
ssseed them things run afore." He
"knowed all about them," but could
beat this one all the same. It was
arranged to run on HigI, street be-
tween Pleasant and the Wallace
House. George stripped, spit on his
hands and declared himself ready
when a start was made. Before the
nimble bicyclist had fairly squared
himself on his seat it was evident
that George would be distanced. In
less than SO yards he fell out and
was declared the loser. The hood
lumnnare not done annoying him
vet about his famous race.
Mr. Stephenson left shortly after to
take look at the Cheat river coun-
try and then intended to go home.
He is agent for the American Star
Bicycle, and is very agreeable
