Dakota Notes.

G. a II. post was organized dG WhiUe
Lake the past week. Capt. Brown, of Plank
linton, did the mastering.
The young men of jamestown have organ
lied a cricket club as recreation and diver
sion from the pressure of exacting business.
A census of the dogs has been taken at
jamestown, and the number is reported 4S1,
as about one to each family. 1t is proposed
to establish an oleomargarine and sausage
factory.
The value of the improvements in Huron
he past year is given at S456,670. is be
lieved that still larger figures will be had this
year. 1t is one of the most promising points
in the south.
The Pipestone, the small but rapid stream
near Jamestown, has been dragged for the
body of Mrs. Alton, the lady drowned in at
tempting to cross on horseback last week,
but without finding it.
There was large attendance and a good
deal of enthusiasm at the meeting at Grand
Forks to organize the Democratic party. A
club and committees were provided for,
Mayor Mccormick is one of the most active
in the movement.
The White Lake Dispatch, in Aurora coun-
ty says: .'Strangers, looking for land and
investments arrive on every train, and most
of them are satisfied before they are in town
twenty-four hours, yet there so many that
our land men are kept on the jump, and the
land they had in stock is fast diminishing"
This view taken by the Tribune, down at
Ordway, will be Endorsed by all settlers in
the section named: ''The North Pacific road
is crowded with emigrants. This portion OF
the territory will yet be the most thickly set
tied of any part of the continent. Cold
weather tends to health, longevity and civil
| ization.''
Bishop Hare has selected Sioux Falls as
his residence, and $4,000 has been raised
to build an Episcopal collage in that city. 1t
is said that several points in north Dakota
will offer much larger bonus to Bishop Wal
ker, when he is ready to take into consider
alton the matter of a location, with the insti-
tutions that will accompany.
Rev. 7. f. Allen, of Grand Forks. having
preached gambling and baudy houses out of
the place theoretically at least, is now taking
tilt at tobacco in a series of discourses. 1t
is thought shat he has undertaken q heavier
job than in the other cases, but he goes into
the fight with nervous energy that savors
of business. In that place even the lads are
expert chewers and parade their cigarettes.
The Mandan Pioneer looks over the river
and says: ''The new capital building at
Bismarck will require considerable work be-
fore it can be occupied by the legislature.
| None of the inside work has been done, and
| the main front remains to be built. Although
over $1,000 900 has been expended oh it, it is
fairly safe to say that nearly as much money
will be required to complete it as has already
| been spent"
At jamestown last night, Father Stephan
pleased and entertained large audience with
a lecture upon the Pope. He traced the
Office back to the primitive church and gave
an exegesis of the object and character of
the position that was familiar to many of his
hearers. Although strong churchman, he
is not bigot, and his courtesy to those who
differed with him won him the respect of ALL
Grand Rapids Journal: Sheriff j. W. Stod
dard, on a recent trip from Fargo to Bis
marck, canvassed the Northern Pacific train,
and by careful inquiry was able to estimate
that the passenger traffic Of that one train
form st. Paul to Portland, brought the COM
| pany $50, 900 in hard cash. By the above it
would seem that the N. P. onght to pay, and
| that preferrrd stock is liable to take a rise in
value one of these days.
The La Moure county convention could
not find man who was willing to stand the
expense OF trip to represent the county at
| Huron, and so they instructed the chairman
| to telegraph James G.. Blaine that La Moure
county was solid for him for the presidency.
They see m to have forgotten that Mr.. Blaine
is busy just now writing history and is out
of politics. 1t will cost him the profit on
two or three books for the news.
! This experience related by the Ordway
Tribune is common in Dakota: &c. K HAYS,
of Mcpherson county, came to Dakota from
northern Indiana two years ago. He had
$500. He now has 4S0 acres of land, three
large and valuable farm horses, three cows,
seeder, mower, harvester, plows, ETC., and
not dollar on mortgage. He had 500 bushels
OF No. 1 hard wheat last year, and has been
offered 81, 800 for one of his farms"
The movement in favor of the Strait bill to
reduce the price of government lands in
railroad limits to $1.25 an acre has struck a
snag in the production of the law of 1862
and the agreement with the Northern Pacific
that the lands should not be sold for less
than $3.50. The language is: ssThe reserv-
ed alternate sections shall not be sold by the
government at price less than $3.50 per
acre when offered for sale.''
The Sioux Falls Press: Sioux Falls is
showing her bristles by inaugurahng new
industry for Dakota, being the packing of
hog hair for shipment direct to Europe. The
first shipment was made yesterday by
James A. Hamilton, who procured the hair
from the Dakota packing company. 1t will
Z. go to Liverpool, to be made into brushes,
mattresses and other articles. Mr.. Hamilton
is one OF seven buyers who visit the different
point throughout the world at which hogs are
slaughtered, and buy the hair for shipment
to Liverpool.
