There is much rejoicing at La Moure over
the opening of the Northern Pacific after be-
ing closed three months. a daily passen-

NJ. w. Hasldns has just returned to Tower
City with his lovely bride, and reports that
central N. Y. will send large delegates to
North Dakota this season.
1t will probably be some days yet before
trains run through to the coast on the Mp.
It is just week since there has been train
from west of the Missouri river.
The membership of the Republican terri
torial convention to be held in Huron, will
be composed of 125 delegates from south
eastern Dakota, So from north Dakota, and
II from the Black Hills-230 in all.
Regardless of the efforts of the Logan men
in north Dakota the Salem Register stakes its
reputation as prophet on this: "The Huron
convention will send either an Edmunds or
Blaine delegation to the Chicago convention"
J. D. Els has returned to La Moure after
several months in the east and reports that
$50 people have left one village in Ontario
for the northwest, most of them for Dakota
and Minnesota. He thinks more will come
to north Dakota than ever before.
Lewis Champlin is one of the lucky fellows.
He has just succeeded in marrying Annie J.
Shepard, who came out from Kane county,
Ill, and has secured three quarter sections
of as fine land as there is in Dakota. That
fact adds three fold to the charms of mar
riageable maiden.
H. n. Copp, publisher of the Lana Ocner,
sometime since scripped land for townsite
in Potter county, and although there are no
buildings there and but few settlers in the,
county, several persons have applied to him
to let them start newspapers there. They
evidently have advanced notions.
The first Grand Commandery of Knights
Templar ever organized for territory will

The Mimic Journal has had visit from
Dave Kennedy, who is located about $50
miles southwest of the Turtle mountains,
engaged in farming and stock raising. He
says that it is as fine country for raising
stock as one could wish, and that there is
but little trouble in wintering, as there is
plenty of good timber, for both shelter and
fuel. Mr.. Kennedy leaves on Monday next
for the new mines IN the Turtle mountains,
where the gold fever is now raging.
recent paragraph in this department re-
ferring to the lady in the east with handsome
daughters who is seeking information about
towns in Dakota where there are moral and
safe young men, has elected inquiry from
worthy and sincere parties, who have the
moral qualifications, as to the address of the
family in the eastern state. 1t is not improb-
able that more than one happy connubial Incl
dent will result, and very desirable additions
be made to the population of Dakota.
The value Of a letter or the absurdftv of
red tape is shown in the case of Flandrau.

the would be restored and neglected to for
ward the bond and the Office became vacant
Parties made fight for another man and
good deal OF hard feeling was gotten up, and

The Huron Times has this: At E. N. Tou-
cey's feed store on Wisconsin street is a
sack Of rye labeled "Goose Rye" It has
quite little history and runs in this way:
''ln the crop of a wild Goose killed in Mon
tana few years since was found thirteen
grains of rye, eleven of which were planted
by Mr.. Dukes, of Sturgs, Lawrence county,
Dakota, and last season he had sixty pounds
OF the rye which he sowed on a trife over one
acre of ground and from it threshed 100 bush
els" The kernel is clear, hard and of i'm
mense size.
The fact that the magnificent school fund
of Dakota cannot be used till a state is
founded, is one of the main incentives to
statehood. One of the papers says of it,
"When Dakota becomes state she will have
one of the richest school funds of any state
in the Union, from the sale of her school
lands. Until then our public schools must
be supported entirely by direct taxation. It
is not surprising therefore that all friends
OF the public schools are in favor of state
hood. This would not only greatly lessen
the heavy school tax now borne, but would
at the same time increase the fund for
school purposes many fold.n
The Sanborn Enterprise in one of the
newest of the south Dakota towns foots up
500, 100 as putin substantial buildings there
the past season. 1t also has this encourag-
ing item. Gal. Booth thinks if there is any
virtue in deep frost to produce an extra yield
of cereals-and he believes there is-this
season will give a monstrous crop. He is
digging well on his farm in Boothtown
and at depth of six feet and a half the dirt
is as hard and tiinty as at the first foot Com
pairing the winter of 1879 with the one just
ended, he notices striking similarity. Then
the frost penetrated deeper than it has since
except this year, and the summer following
gave the largest average crop this country
has ever known. The prospects for an
enormous yield this season are certainly en-
couraging.
Politics in Fargo have become so hot that
even the pulpit touches on the subject, and it
all centers on the mayor-no one seems to
care much for any of the other positions. All
sorts of devices are utilized. At the Opera
house Saturday night the man on the trapeze
was hired to unfold banner from his high
position containing "Vote for - for
mayor" giving the name of one of the can
didates. There have been two meetings called
as Democratic, taking opposite sides.
Every nationality has convened and pledged
its support to both parties. Monday night
the .colored troops fought nobly on both sides,
