Springfield in the south is erecting Meth
odist church. Most of the other denomina-
lions are supplied.
+ A commandery of Knights Templar was
organized at jamestown the past week with
nineteen members.
Five townships in Campbell county have
Just come into market. Some of them along
the river and fine land.
/ The farmers of Grant county have organ
lied and determined to hold fair in Sep
tcmber. The organization is called the
"Grant County Agricultural and Mechanical
society,"
The Grafton Herald takes the correct view
in this: "The GLOBE gives greater amount
of Dakota news than any daily outside the
territory that we know of and is newsy pa
per in every particular
In nearly all Dakata papers will be found
paragraphs like this: Mrs. j. w. Scott pre-
scented her husband the first inst. with twin
babies, boy and girl. Truly Dakota is a
land of bountiful harvests.

of freight was received at this point on Fri
day, nine on Sunday and fifteen on Wednes-
day. How is that for businesss''
Commissioners have been appointed for
Towner county, but they have concluded
not to organize, as the necessary cost
OF county buildings, ETC., would be too
great burden for the few settlers in that
county
AS largely settled as is La Moure county,
one of its papers states that there is no church
edifice in its limits. The Baptists are max
ing arrangements to build one at Grand Rap
| ids, the county seat. There has been preach
| ing however, at several points.
Dakota has $500, 900 acres of school land
which cannot be sold for less than SO per
acre. Much of it will bring more than that
to-day. 1t will be available when states are
formed. This is point worth considering,
as this fund will make school taxes light.
The first religious service ever held in
Dunseith, and probably in Rolette county
was sermon on Sunday at the hotel by Rev.
J. NJ. Wagner, of Brooklyn, N. Y. There
were forty hearers. 1t is now claimed that
Dunseith is the Zion of the Turtle mountain
country.
The people of LaMoure have voted to bond
the town for $4,000 to build a court house if
the county seat can be located there. The
chief argument against Grand Rapids is that
it is not on a railroad. AS work has halted
on the James River Valley railroad there is
| no certainty OF road.
The Courier in Campbell county in the
south looks at the delegate matter in this
way: 'sThere is concerted action among
certain Dakotians to secure the nomination
of south Dakota man for congress As
there are scores of men in the south who
are far better workers than Raymond this
action or the south is justifable.''
This suggestion is made by the Ordway
Tribune: Farmers should stack their grain
and let it pass through the sweat before
theshing in order to secure the best prices
and grades. A circular has been issued by
the leading grain dealers advising farmers
to do this, as millers refuse to take wheat for
better than No 2 grade until after it has
passed through the sweat in the stack
The Grand Forks Ptaiidealer learns that
townships 157, 1873, 159, 100 and 161, all in
range SO, are in the market. 1877 and 1873
are the two northwestern townships in Walsh
county, and 159, 1850 and 161 are the three
southwestern towns in Pembina county.
These townships complete the survey of
| Walsh and Pembina counties. On these
lands there are many squatters already To-
Gated.
The Mandan Pioneer estimates that zoe, 900
bushels of wheat will be marketed at that
point within month. In regard to corn,
Vie
crop of Morton county this year promises to
be an astonishing one. 1t will outrank that
of any county in North Dakota. 1t win aver
age from so to 60 bushels to the acre. 1t
everywhere looks superb and is a delight TO
the farmers and source Of the greatest sur
prise to visitors.
One Of the absurdites that creepinto print
is the idea that there will be any formidable
attempt to deprive Bismarck of the capital.
The north certainly does not care to disturb
the location, and since all opposition to di-
vision has ceased, the south only is con
cerned to secure separation and statehood.
1t expects to have capital of its own, and
is generally better pleased to have the terri
torial capital outside of its limits as it en-
ables all the towns that propose to compete
for it to start in on about equal footing.
This is good boom item for La Moure
furnished by the Progress. Mr.. d. +. Sails
bury, who lives ON section 4134-64, about
sixteen miles west of La Moure, raised the
best sample of wheat that was submitted to
the government chemist for analysis last
year. 1t outgraded any sample shown, and
was perhaps the best wheat raised on earth.
This is no idle Barnum talk, but literal ex-
| tract from the government records. The
sample of wheat was sent to London to par
alyZe the British world with its perfection.

farmers keep 1t floating over LaMoure
county's fertile acres"
The county board of Walsh county at
tached conditions to the advance of $3.50 to
Mckenzie for the New Orleans exhibit that
will obviate all outlay from that county. The
warrant is not TO be payable till April next,
and not to be issued until there is evidence
that majority of the counties have agreed
| to give respective amounts, etc. No coun-
ties in the south have advanced anything
and but half dozen in the north have taken
action. 1t is evident that some other meas
ures will be requisite if the $50, 900 is to be
had The simplest way would seem to be for
com missioner Mckenzie to advance the
needed expenses which would be tri6e only
to him, and look to the legislature for reim-
| bursement. As ne will have the body under
his eye at Bismarck, he should be able to
control it if he has the finesse and influence
attributed to him. That body would be likely
TO assume reasonable expenses.
