Glendale is one of the few Dakota towns
that continues to grow this season of the
year. 1t is the northern terminus of the
James River Valley division of the Milwau-
kee road. has population of about fifteen
hundred, all good aud enterprising citizens
There are now something like twenty stores
and residence buildings in course OF COnStruc-
ton. The weather, so far this winter. has been
in their favor, and to-day while people in the
Easte IN states are sitting around their coal
fires and wearing their heavy winter wraps
on the streets, our people have tn cir doors
open to let in the warmth of the sun, and
people can be seen sitting out On the side
walks in front of the hotels reading the daily
papers. The winter months are as enjoy
able here as the summer months. The
merchants are all having good trade,
and their stores are all perfect
beauties, being filled with elegant holiday
goods. There will be several Christmas trees
in the different churches here this year. and
undoubtedly they will all be loaded with
costly and elegant presents. AS the long
evenings are usually the time for people to
enjoy themselves, the citizens of Glendale
are taking advantage of them. Last evening
there was public installation of officers by
Glendale lodge No. 40, A. +. & A. M. The
installation services were conducted by Cyrus
Dale, Past Grand of Kennedy lodge No. 295.
The following are the officers installed: J. A.

SPORTING EVENTS.
A Home club wanted.

Local base ball enthusiasts are quietly
agtating the organization of club in St.
Paul for next season. 1t is learned that
the st. Paul lacrosse club is chiefly inter-
ested in the founding of one, and the two
clubs will then secure grounds which will
be used for general athletic sports. Base
ball clubs are being organized in other Cit
les in Minnesota. Citizens of Duluth have
guaranteed $4,000 for the support of a
club, and when city of that size can raise
such an amount for the support of club,
it will only be a lack of enterprise if ST.
Paul can not do the same. Salaries for
good players will not be so high next sea-
son as they have in the past and it will
take less money to support club. What
was raised in the season of 1884 for the
support of the St. Paul club, would run a
club through easily next season. anC bal
ance might perhaps be left. A good club
in St. Paul next season would undoubtedly
be a good paying investment for the organ
izers if properly managed.
A letter was received from one of the
most prominent business men of Kansas
City on Friday last, stating that an effort
was being made to organize base ball
league composed of Milwaukee, st. Paul,
Minneapolis, st. 10, Kansas City and In
dianapolis. The gentleman who writes to
the GLOBE believes this would make a
good league, and that it would pay. 1t
undoubtedly would, and ST. Paul people
should assist in it's organization.

EEURPIHY's ACTIVITY.
Bills Which the Energetic Congress-
nnsa will Introduce,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Mr. Murphy of
Davenport will offer three important bills.
One apprOpriateSS1, ZOO, 000 to begin the con-
Struction Of the Hennepin canal A second
prohibits the employment of convict labor
on public works or the letting of contracts
to employers Of convict labor. The third
bill is of very great Importance to all appli-
cants for pensions. This bill makes the
fact of mans enlistment presumptive evil
dence that he was physically sound when
he entered the army. 1t used to be Gus
tomary for the pension Office to require an
applicant to prove that his disability did
not exist before his enlistment. Every
man before enlistment had to pass thor
Ough examination before a government
surgeon and he certified as to his sound
health and constitution. That being the
fact, it is pretty hard on the old soldiers to
ask him to. prove now that twenty-five
years ago he was well man. Some two
years ago Mr.. Joseph of Illinois, then as
sistant secretary of the interior, made a
ruling on a case that came before him on ap-
peal from the pension office that the fact of a
mans enlistment was preSumptive evidence
of his physical soundnesS at that time. Mr.
Murphy will seek to have this principle es-
tabliShed by statute, so that it will not be

Citizens of the Territory of Dakota
MeIMOrialiZe Congress.

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Dee. 20.-The cham
Der of commerce of Bismarck some time
since called meeting of citizens of the ter
ritory to take action on Missouri river ap-
preparations. On Saturday evening the
meeting was called to order in Bismarck
and the following memorial drafted and
sent to congress:
To the Congress of the United States:
Your petitioners would respectfully repre-
sent that there is not an equitable distribu-
ton of appropriations by your honorable
body for the Improvement of the Missouri
river. First, the distance from the mouth of
the river to Sioux City is 1,200 miles, and the
appropriation recommended by the commits
sion for the Improvement of this division is
Sl,000,000. The distance from Sioux City to
Fort Benton is l.500 miles, and the appro-
priation recommended for this division is
100000, making an arbitrary discrimination
of $S40,0 0G in favor of the shorter division.
The carrying trade on the lower river has
constantly decreased since 1875 until the
present time, when the commerce of the up
per river exceeds it in value 100 per cent.
The exports of wool alone on the upper Mis-
souri, have increased from 20e, 600 pounds
in 1877 to 100000 pounds in 1885.
The item of grain has increased in
two years from nothing to thousands of
tons, and with the development of rich val
leys will increase Indefinitely. In view of
the foregoing facts we would represent that
the Missouri river commission, created July
5, 1894, have proven by their recommends
tons that they are ignorant of the necessities
of the river and the location of it's commerce,
or are purposely unfair in their recommends
ton for the distribution of appropriations eX-
pected from this congress. During the cur
rent year the commission continued the work
of improvement and expenditure in the hands
of wholly incompetent and inexperienced en-
gineers and employees, with the single eXcep-
ton of the survey department. The commits
sloners used the only steamboat in their serv-
ice fon the upper Missouri for excursion pur-
poses, extending over thirty days. using val
liable time and appropriations needed foI
river improvements. They also built dredge
boat at Fl. Benton which drew more water
than there was in the channel. In our opin-
ion this work should be placed in the hands
of practical men who are familiar with the
river and its requirements and who are resi-
dents of the districts in which the work is
done, and that the experimenting engineers
be stationed on the river. While we recognize
that the appropriation asked for the lower
river may not be excessive, we do assert that
the appropriation recommended for the upper
river is wholly inadequate. We further rep
resent the necessity of establishing the light
house system on the Missouri river from
Sioux City to Fl. Benton, similar to that ex-
listing on the lower and upper Mississippi, the
Ohio and lower Missouri.
