St. Paul Globe: The .Iametown Alert
claims that its city is the only one OF note
on the line Of the Northern Pacific where
there has not beer public gaming house,
but it thinks there are places that are
quite as obnoxious to good tendencies and
morals, and are used to entrap the mex
per1enccd and unwary. 1t wants greater
alertness IN official quarters. In most
OF the larger towns named these places
are not exactly public, unless the fact
that large proportion Of their patrons
are public men constitutes them such.
They will he apt to be winked at until
there is change in the habits OF very
great proportion OF the business, educa
ted and official classes.
The gigantic invoices of farm machln-
cry which are now daily replenisling the
stocks of Jamestown dealers are f!atter-
ing indication Of tho condition of James
River Valley farmers, and their prone
ness Of modern agriculture. The second
year n the life of the Dakota farmer
sees growing inclination to the use of
good instruments and the third sees the
complicated machinery of a we'll con-
Quoted farm are ranged up in time and
executing grand part IN the develop
ment Of the county. 1t is the ambition
of the prairie farmer of Dakota to CON-
plete his outfit for farming with the best
machinery the inventive genius of the
world can produce, and it IS The secret Of
their success.
