Dakota Soil.

The jamestown Capital says of
Dakota soil: sit is not surpassed in
the northwest in point of fertility
and adaptation to all the purposes of
cultivation. 1t consists of a dark,
rich and somewhat sandy loan of a
depth varying from two to three feet,
and is underlaid with Il clay sub-soil
impregnated with lime. Experience
has demonstrated that this variety of
soil is little liable to suffer from
drought or excessive moisture. The
surface water, which at once sinks
through the porous soil, leaving the
surface moist and friable, is retained
by the subsoil, to be drawn upon by
the growing plants during dry pc.
riods. A chemical analysis of the
soil discloses the presence of the rich
est fertilizers, which give rapidity
to growth of plants and enable it to
sustain a long succession of crops.
This scientific testimony is valuable,
but the crops which have been gath.
cred for the past three years are the
most satisfactory and decisive proofs
of the productiveness of the country.
The agricultural products successful
ly cultivated here are of wide range
in variety, and include all the small
grains, small fruits and vegetables.
This country is best known for its
wonderful crops of wheat. North
Dakota wheat is universally admitted
to be the best in the market, and in
no other section has wheat been pro.
duced in greater abundance or of bet
ter quality. This variety of wheat
has been raised in North Dakota with
so much greater success than else
where that it has come to be known
III the market as No. l hard wheat.
1t commands Il better price than even
the best varieties of white winter
wheat. In wheat raising no part of
the world III compete with this 10.
cality. The value of this product is
shown in the fact that in many in.
stances 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 he has a
right to expect large crops and good
prices. Flax may be grown, with a
certainty of securing a fair yield and
a good price. II may be cultivated
with success upon land that has been
newly broken. Oats, barley and buck.
wheat are all cultivated with the
greatest success. These grains attain
4 size and solidity of berry elsewhere
unknown. The adaptation of the
soil and climate is manifested in the
perfection of the grain and the large
ness 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 counties averaged
over 10 bushels to the acre. All of
the smaller varieties of fruits-such
as strawberries, gooseberries, rasp.
berries, blackberries, currants and
several varieties of grapes-can he
grown here without trouble.

s. PELToN.
Pencil and Jones'.

ST. PAUL, April lO.-Joseph Pen.
nell and T. j. Jones are here. Mr..
Jones had an interview with the
Northern Pacific officials in reference
to the Medora and Black Hills freight
route. 1t appears that an unpleas.
antness has grown up among the
members of the transportation COM
pany, and that Jones has a wicked
partner who secured the contracts
while Jones put in his time repairing
the road from Medora to Deadwood.
Having performed the work, he e
turned to find his partner had made
other arrangements of a tendency to
leave Jones out in the cold. The
wicked partner was working to get
$4,000 from the town of Dickinson to
haul freight from that point. The
mission in st. Paul was to induce the
Northern Pacific to take a hand in
the fight, but the gentlemen were in
formed that the company fulfilled its
mission when it deposited freight at
the station.
That wicked partner never had a
partnership with Jones and is one of
the best known and most highly re-
pected business men in Dakota.
Where now is the Medora freight
line?

Up the Himaiayas.

Tired of the Alps and Apprentices.
European tourists are now lookinr to-
wards the mighty mountain monarchs
of Asia. Mr.. Graham, an experienced
climber. has already tried some of the
peaks, and thus writes of his experience
10 the Pal Mall Gazette:
"Our troubles began at RIM. which
is close to the peaks. 1t is almost i'm.
possible even to reach the mountains
as they stand back, and are only reached.
by deep gullies through which enor-
nous streams dash. The result is that
you have to make series of ascents to
reach the highest peaks. Well, we
started for Dungari, %, lS4 feet. After
twice passing over peaks,of 1900 and
$4,000 feet. respectively, we reached
the foot on the fifth day, and camped on
the glacier. at the height of Is, 400 feet.
The climb next morning was decidedly
difficult. All these peaks are much
sleeper than the average Swiss peaks.
AT 1:50 we had reached at least =, 5000
feet The summit was in sight, a deep
snow slope broken with rock. Anoth-
cr half hour would have put us on the
top, when sudden and violent snow
storm arose, and we We're obliged to
turn back. How we got down some
very awkward slopes, do not know.
IL was the most dangerous work ever
did. We managed to bag another peak,
which have taken the liberty of call
ing Mount Mona'. on account of the
quantity of these fine birds on its lower
slopes. Height, 22,326 feet by govern
