A BIG COLONY.
A Project to Bring Colony or One
Thousand Members to Dakota.

"A Froject to Bring . Colony OF One
Thousand Members to Dakota.
Inc mandan Pioneer has had some little cor
a,'on'"lce with arentI-uian now living II
New York 9th named George Henry Bassett
who has undertaken to organize colony to
consist OF 1000 members, each of whom is to
10 possessed Of not less than $1,000. It is in
tended to have a tract Of land, chosen by a
special committee, which will give to each
member between 400 and 500 acres, eity
will be built in this tract, at a convenient dis
sance from the railway. Among the rules for
the government Of the colony, there is one
which provides that the farming operations
shall be carried on at first by cooperation, un-
der the supervision Of practical farmers, a per-
centage Of the profits beiug deducted to cover
the expense. Mr.. Bassett seeks to avoid the
rocks that many colonies have split upon. By
taking 1000 families to district of country
selected because of the heathfuIness Of its cli-
mate, the fertility Of its lands, and ito conven-
ience to some important railroad centre, it will
be merely transplanting civilized community
to new field Of activity. Substantial cottages
will be erected within the boundary of the new
city In time for occupation at the opening of
the planting season. This will do away with
the necessity for ''rougbing it" and give the
colonists All opportunity to begin a new life
free frsm dscomforting conditions Mr.. Bas-
sett was for several years connected with the
Now York Times. He is still young man,
but has large experience of the world. He
proposes to make bis residence In the colony,
and to leave nothing undons to insure its sue
cess. 1t Is the Intention Of the protector of the
colony to establish some manufacturing enter
prise in connection with his colony. 1t would
bs an excellent idea to get this colony within
easy reach of Mandan, and any party desiring
to correspond with Mr.. Bassstt, can have his
address By applying At this Office.
