A Neat Compliment.

Washburn Times: For prompt and excellent
work in all branches of the printing business
commend us to the Bismarck TRIBUNE. That
establishment ls G mplete in all its depart
ments, and all work, no matter what the charac-
ter, issued therefrom besrs the finger-marks OF
artists. We are under no compliment to the
TRIBUNE folks, and when anything oompli-
mentary of them appears in the Times it is not
unworthily bestowed, for we are wont to give
credit only to whom credit is due, and whenever
it is deserved it is voluntarily given. We would
refer any one who may doubt our statement as
to the neatness, accurateness and excellence of
the work turned out by Lounsberry d Jewell to
the Mclean county books which have just been
completed by them. The officials are unani-
NOUS in their praise of the work, which could
not possibly be excelled. even by establishments
of the greatest pretentions. Mclean county
now boasts as fine set of books as there is in
the territory. Nuf eel.

The Guard Party.

The second of the series Of parties given by
the Governors Guard was held last evening"
Between thirty and forty couples were in attend
snce, many of the gentlemen appearing in full
dress and all of the ladies in calico dresses Of
bright colors and fsnciful arrangement. The
programme was an attractive one and the party
was far more largely attended and much more
enjoyable than the first. The stage was hand
somely decorated. the music was good, the man.
agement was admirable and every detail that
could enter into successful entertainment was
perfect. The members of the Guard were gal
liant, the ladies were in their best humor. and
everything conspired to make the occasion
thoroughly enjoyable one. The Guards last
evening established precedent by giving one of
the most recherche parties of the present season
and henceforth their party announcements will
be looked forward to with the brightest antici-
pat1ons. The next of the series will be grand
military bail to be given on Washington's birth
day, February 22d. On this occasion number
of the ladies have determined to appear in fnll
dress, although the party is not to be full dress
affair.

Ktdders County.

Kidder county, which adjoins Burleigh county
on the east, 10 one of the most fertile and pros
porous in North Dakota. To the seekers Tor
new homes Kidder county offsrs unusual attrac.
tions in fine farming lands, good schools, pure
water and fourishing towns. of which Steele, the
county seat, is the chief. The first attempt at
agricultural development in the county was in
1873, when w. F. Steele had 400 acres of break
ing done. In 1879 Mr.. John Van Deusen broke
1900 acres on the Troy farm. During the
years 188O-l.2 the Steele farm had 700 acres un-
der cultivation, the Troy farm 1900 acres, and
other settlers 1900 acres, making total of
$500 acres. In the year 1883 alone 10, 200 acres
were broken, or nearly twice as much as during
the three previous years, and this amount will
probably be doubled next year. Over 200 farm
houses were erected in Kidder county in 1883
and the city of Steele and other towns had .
most wonderful and rapid growth. The hay
product of the county for 1883 was 600 tons,
of which 1,5CO tons were shipped to Fort Keogh
Montana.

Coal Mining near Bismarck.

Coal near 019m6ECAs
G. w. Thompson, of Bismarck, superinten-
dent of coal development and supply for the
Northern Pacific, in an interview with Minne-
apolis Journal correspondent gave some inter-
esting information. Mr.. Thompson said that
his company is taking out 400 tons of fine btu
minous coal per day at the Bozeman mines and
is giving employment to 200 men. Half of this
output is from the Chestnut mine in the Rocky
Canyon and the balance from the company 8
mine on the divide above. A narrow guage road
has been constructed from the west eRd of the
Bozeman tunnel to this niue and is now in &C.
tive operation, while other mines are on the eve
of development. This coal is now shipped to
Bate City and Wickes for use in the ore roast
ing process and is admirably adapted to that pur-
pose and viii, be used throughout the mining
districts of Montana as rapidly as they can be
reached by railroad communication. This coal
i. also used in locomotives and is shipped as far
east as Moorhead and as tar west rs Butte City.
The company has orders for 500 tons from one
firm in Butte alone. The Ignite mines at Sims,
Dakota, Little Missouri, and Ignite station,
are also producing we'll. About 100 tons are be-
ing taken out daily at Ignite, and from 100 to
200 tons daily at Little Missouri or Medora.
This is largely consumed by settlers along the
line and il utilized with other coal for generating
steam for motive power in the operation of
the road. When used with Bozeman bitumi-
nous coal the Ignite is we'll adapted to this pur
pose and is great saving in expense of opera
ting the great trans continental line.

Fort Yates Items.

Joseph Primeau and detachment of Indian
police went down to Moreau river few days
since in quest of men who we're cutting wood on
the Sioux reservation and on Tuesday arrested
party of choppers with their teams. The
prisoners have been ordered here for examina-
ton before United States Commissioner Stew
art The Indians say the woodstock like beavers
had been cutting in them, and Agent McLaugh-
lin is determined to put stop to the work.
Corporal Voorthizen. who was frozen so badly
at wood camp dowa the river, was brought here
and died in five minutes after being placed in
the hospital. He had left the camp to come in
after whisky, and failing to return next day q
search was instituted and he was found in the
woods, helpless and frozen. He was a member
of Go. II, 18th infantry. The body is being held
awaiting instructions from relatives in the east.

Advice from Ohio.

f (. I.
One OF the editors Of the Cleveland, Ohio,
Leader, after visit to North Dakota, Published
the following testimony in his editorial ool-
umns:
.In Dakota, enterprise breaks the broad prai-
ries with the same freedom that = steamer
plouehs the ocean. Energetic men Of even linn
tied means, if in localities Of rich soil and rail-
ways, make competency in > few years. In
1879 an acquaintance entered under the pre-,
emption laws l60 acres; raised wheat and in
three years sold the land for "a 400 profit. q
clergyman, tired of the dull routine of eastern
waterisg places, reinvested in Northern Pacific
railway lands $500 bond unfortunately pur-
chased ten years ago of Jay Cooke. To
his first p7rchase be added Others. such a. =
limited bank account allowed, occasionally sold
and reinvested Now he estimates the profits OF
seven vacations in Dakota as follows: Robust
health, vigorous sermons, an elegant new church
built, pastor and people happy, especially the
pastor, who believes his misfortune in bonds
has resulted in fortune of $4,000 in lands.
Wealth in Dakota and the west is guaranteed by
the experiences of ten thousand investors in
other states, who have purchased good lands ct
three dollars and less per acre. Enter your leg
acy and cultivate what you can, and bold on to
titles for ten or twenty years. if necessary. This
role has and will make uillionaires.

Twenty-Five years ago yesterday Mr.. and Mrs.
T. J. Tully, of this city, started out together
upon the matrimonial voyage of life, and last
evening, surrounded by their children and 9

$49,2O4 Is
Dakota Soil.

The jamestown Capital says of Dakota soil:
1T is not surpassed in the northwest in point of
fertility and adaptation to all the purposes of
cultivation. It consists of dark, rich and
somewhat sandy loan of depth varying from
two to three feet, and is underlaid with clay
sub-soil impregnated with lime. Experience
has demonstrated that no other variety of soil is
so liable to suffer from drought or excessive
moisture. The surface water, which at once
sinks through the porous soil, leaving the sur
face moist and frable, is retained by the subsol,
to be dra~n upon by the growing plants during
dry periods. A chemical analysis of the soil dis
closes the presence of the richest fertilizers which
give rapidity to growth of plants and enable it
to sustain q long succession of crops. This
which have been gathered for the past three
years are the most satisfactory and decisive
proofs of the productiveness of the country.
The agricultural products successfully cultivated
here are of wide range in variety, and include
all the small grains, small fruits and vegetables.
This country is best known for it's won-
derful crops of wheat. North Dakota
whept is universally admitted to be the best in
the market, and in no other section has wheat
been produced in greater abundance or of better
quality. Th variety of wheat has been raised
in North Dakota with so much greater success
than elsewhere that it has come to be known in
the market at No. hard wheat. It commands q
better price than even the best varieties Of white
winter wheat. In wheat raising sno part OF the
world can compete with this locality. The
value of this product is shown in the fact that
in many instances the farmer has been able to
pay for his land from the product of his first
crop. While it is true that this is not the usual
result and while the settler ought not to base
his plans on such experiences still be has right
to expect large crops and good prices. Flax
may be grown, with certainty of securing
fair yield and good price. It may be culti-
vated with success upon land that has been
newly broken. Oats, barley and buckwheat are
all cultivated with the greatest success. These
grains attain size and solldity of berry else
where unknown. The adaptation of the soil
and climate is manifested in the perfection of
the grain and the largeness of the crops. This
is especially true of oats, which return an enor-
nous yield. As high as lis bushels to the acre
were raised in 1882, and the crop in some coun-
ties averaged over 20 bushels to the acre. All
of the smaller varieties of fruits-such as straw
berries, gooseberries, raspberries, blackberries,
currants and several varieties of grapes-can be
grown here without trouble.

immigration.

Mr.. G. II. Spray, of Seymour, Indiana arrived
in Bismarck yesterday, and will spend several
days in converting with business men, studying
the map, posting himself on the surrounding
country in particular and Dakota in general.
Mr.. SPRAY is an immigration agent and makes it
his special business to keep himself posted for
the benefit of home seekers. In an interview
he said: II have no particular interest in any
section of the country except those sections
where the people want to 60. I sell railroad
tickets and get my commissions, and SO long as
the people that send ont are satisfied, and get
my commissions, it makes little difference to me
where they go. For the last year OF two the tide
from Indiana has been toward Texas, and have
sent great many people there. This year,
however, the inquiry is all about Dakota, and
have been fairly compelled to come out here that
I might answer questions intelligently. Bis
marck is we'll known, yet must say that I had
believed only half of what had heard of the

brick blocks and solid substantial appearance.

guests, enthusiastic pioneers, many of them
coming in sleighs several miles to testify their
approval of the noble efforts made by these en-
