A Fargo correspondent notes ON ab.
eence of immigration this season and
says: "Every now and then few fami-
lies from the east or from Europe put IN
an appearance, but the day when the
emigrant houses and depots were crowd.
ed with those in search of homes, seems
to have ended with the past autumn. )
The cause assigned by the correspondent
is the scarcity of government land, which
causes settlers to 60 farther west il
search of free farms.

The Bijou Hills Times makes pleas.
ant reference to our city. Under the
heading "Yankton" it says:
During the past year this south Dako.
ia city has made rapid strides toward
future greatness. The foundations she
has laid in the establishment of her
manufacturing industries will do her
more good than twenty capitals. These
industries within her borders will call
capital and labor together, and both will
be mutually benefited. Blooms" are
good, but especially so when its founda
tions are of permanent character, and
western experience has demonstrated
the fact that commercial and manufac.
turing towns are the ones that secure
population snd wealth. We are espe.
cially glad and rejoice in the prosperity
of Yankton. She is the Oldest and has
had to fight hard and long for her posi-.
tion, and because of her persistence she
is deserving.

THERE has been a great deal OF ques.
ton in this State as to whether the con.
trollers of the Southern Pacific Railway
did right in making their road cost
somewhere in the neighborhood of $40,
600 a mile. There is no difference of
opinion, however, about the probability
that, il this weather keeps up, it will
have cost fully that sum before long.
With the necessity of repeatedly relay.
ing the track, rebuilding the culverts
and bridges, regarding and reilling, it
will prove TO have been in reality a
most expensive road. Perhaps it was a
wise provision OF what was ahead which
led the managers Of the enterprise to al
low themselves an ample margin.
