There is a good deal Of Indignation among the
papers along the n. p, at the grossly exagger-
ated estimates placed upon the towns by the June
number Of the work Descriptive America, which
is devoted to Dakota. For instance, Fargo is
credited with 5000 population; Bismarck, 1000 :;
Grand Forks, 1000; jamestown, 900; Valley
City, 500 Mandan, 200. The hitter is also given
rs the county seat of Mercer, county north Of
Morton. Any stranger who visits Mandan and
don't see 5000 people will be thrown into the
river; jamestown claims about the same. besides
an insane asylum; Fargo has small use for one
who don't perceive where the 1000 comes in
not looking very far over the river, either. A
magazine with such absurd figures viii not sell
In this country.
