bent on prosperity. Many of the visitors to
the mineral spring ascribe valuable medical
properties to it. A curious quality of the
spring, is that it will purify substances placed
in it. The spring will become valuable adj
dition to the many inviting attractions about
Dunseith, and with our invigorating and
healthful climate, will undoubtedly make
this a health resort of no little Importance.
The South Dakota papers are all enthusiast
tic over the nomination of Judge Clifford at
Pierre, and the Raymond papers in the north
acquiesce with general cheerfulness, with the
exception of the Fargo Republican, Bismarck
Journal and one or two others, which have
lot of bad blood to work off, when they will
put up the name and shout with the loudest.
Capt. Raymond earns the esteem of those
who opposed him by the grace and dignity
with which he accepts the inevitable. He
will be sent to the legislature if he desires,
but will not probably, as he will not be quite
through at Washington. He viii work very
hard for division next winter, expecting to
be returned as the delegate from the north.
Park river is the terminal point of the
Larimore extension of the Manitoba, and is
one of the finest agricultural districts of the
north. The local paper, the Gazette, says:
In the spring of 1884, the st. Paul, Mime
apolis d Manitoba Railroad company, with
the proverbial enterprise and foresight, de-
cided to extend their line from Larimore to
Park river, thus bringing shipping facilities
to the very doors of this great wheat produc-
ing section. A new town has been estab-
lished and is being rapidly built up by an
enterprising class of business men. The
different elevator companies competing with
each other for the purchase of the unprece-
dented cereals of this district, are about to
erect large elevators for the accommodation
! of their business.
The Lisbon Clipper in this shows the feel
ing among the farmers in regard to the mat
ter: Farmers are now hauling their whe at
through Lisbon and Sheldon to Buttzville,
simply because at that point there is a pri-
vate elevator, the only one in the county,
where they can get just grade, although
they do not receive any better price The n.
p. elevator company is by their unjust dis
elimination not only driving away the trade
which naturally belongs to them, but they
are hurting the business of the merchants OF
Sheldon and Lisbon. The stock of
the Northern Pacific elevator company is
owned principally by members of the miller
the railroad company is not to blame for the
price established and paid by the n. P. ele-
vator company.
This from the Sargent Teller is another in
dication of the growing interest in corn in
the north: H. VanOrnum, farmer on Sec
ton 4, town 100, range So, brought sample
OF fine corn into this Office Monday, which
excels anything of the kind we have seen in
Dakota. He planted two acres of sod to
corn on the 26th OF May, more as an expert
ment than anything else, and by the first Of
September it had matured beyond the reach
of frost. The ears are sound and perfectly
formed, from six to seven inches in length
and of the Dent variety, which never grow:
large but natures quickly Mr.. Van Ornum
thinks that the soil of Sargent county is pc
culiarly adapted to corn growing, as it is no
of that heavy, cold nature found in the Rec
River valley. Next year he intends to plan
a large field to corn.
