Much can be said in praise of the

ture of genius, pluck, and lots of
good common SenSe--a mortal who
fills a peculiar sphere and fills it well.
Taking the fraternity as an average, q
brighter set of men can not be found
IN the territory; and ] will 90 further
and say that nowhere in the union
Will they average better in point of
snap, general pushing qualities and
intelligent effort in their particular
line. The pages Of their papers glis-
ten with solid facts about the advan-
tages OF the grand territory they have
chosen for their homes. If aught is
sand against Dakota 10y some eastern
fossil, the whole press seems to unite
to squelch the reckless defamer. II
there IS one thing more than another
that will make Il Dakota editor write
sarcasm. 1t IS for some puny penny-a-
liner to call the fertile soil of Dakota
sterile, or the climate unhealthy. The
fact should not he lost sight of that

( cies. They make their papers fresh
and readable. clean and healthy III APP
pearance. and SO full Of Dakota. its
soil, towns and possibilities, that the
eastern reader is favorably impressed
with the country. If you ask an I'm.
migrant, a man who has come here
and invested his money, why he came
he will invariably tell YOU he read OF
Dakota in Dakota papers, sent east
by friends. Week after week the
boys keep humping away, saying
good things about their h ONES ant
country, and the man who reads then
will soon he convinced of the cor
rectness Of their premises.
