DON'T DELAY.

The RECORD has quite respectable
subscription list in the States, and several
copies 70 to Canada. Most of these
patrons have friends or relatives in EN-
mons county, and several of them have,
in correspondence, Informed us that they
intended, eventually, to make this part Of
the world their home. Now, to such we
wish to say You can't put it off much
longer Those among you who possess
youth and energy, though coupled with
little of worldly possessions, will find here
the sure road to independence. Ifyou pro-
pose to give up your forty-acre farm, or
your rented farm, or the corn patch
which your wife's father has loaned you,
and you want to make home of your
own in q country where yourself, your
wife aud your children will have perfect
health where there are good schools and
society; where the best of grain, root
crops and grass can bc produced, and
where stock can be raised at Il good profit
ii you propose to do these things, you
must no longer wait. Uncle Sans free
farms will soon be thing of the past.
Next spring will witness great rush to
this part ef Dakota. Crops have been
good, the countryis is remarkably healthful,
and railroads will be built soon. These
facts are being advertised to the world.
and with such positive proof that few
people or newspapers now have anything
to say against Dakota.
Therefore, if you want to procure a
farm for nothing, come on before 1t is
too late. After this fall--or perhaps,
next spring--if you want a home out

fled, you will have to buy it.
Take our advice. Don't delay.

CommENDABLE ENTERPRISE.

The action of the Bismarck Tribune

will be not only credit to the city, but
to the whole Missouri Slope. cannot be
too highly appreciated. 1t is such public
spirited moves rs this that tend to break
the backbone of the busineas depression
and restore prosperity. There is nothing
which so soon causes a return of conf
dence as bold and striking manifesto

dence is prosperity.
The Tribune has stood bv Bismarck
not only in sunshine, but in storm; and
to our hope that the enterprising journal
may partake of its full share of the good
things Which the future has in store for

The farmers of ths slope have had no
reason TO complainspf a lack of public

BETTER TIMES FOR THE SLOPE.

BETTER TIMES FOR THE SLOPE.
While in Bismarck, last week, the
writer noticed that the city presented a
much more lively appearance than at any
previous visit for several months past
There were many farmers in town, and at
the mill several wagons laden with grain
were standing. On the return trip, also,
every mile or two team hauling grain
was met. We were Informed by several
merchants that business was improving
and that there was not man willing to
labor idle in the city. Some fine build
ings are being erected, and the gangs of
men at work remind one of the "boom
summer" There is difference in favor
Of the present, however. During the
brisk times of '83 the chief cause was in
the then recent location of the capital.
The settlement of the tributary country
was not in proportion to the city,
growth, and the inevitable reaction came
Fictitious values were placed upon urban
property, while, the few country people
had hardly begun to farm, but were liv-
ing on credit or on money brought with
them from the East. This is all changed
now. Prices en- real property in the me-
tropolis are even below their normal fig
IRE but that sound and permanent basis
of city's welfare - the settlement of
contiguous country by practical and en-
terprising farmers--is going rapidly for
ward. Instead of all the necessarics of
life coming from the East, as in 's8, the
producers of the Slope are raising crop.
to be sent abroad, and every pound OF
bushel raised for this purpose means that
the money in circulation in this region is
increased in like proportion, and that the
ability of the farmers to purchase of the
merchants has grown in similar ratio.
One of the most striking facts in this
matter of progress, noted by one ap.
preaching Bismarck from the southeast.
is the network of fences withia few
miles Of the city. Where, but year ago,
the traveller could ride across farms" re-

lanes may be seen, and, looking at the
pastures and cultivated fields on either
side, it hardly seems possible that most OF
these improvements are tile result Of: a
twelvemonth's work.

The RECORD is the only paper de-
voted exclusively to the interests of
EmmOns County, and has a county
circulation five times as large as
any other paper published I'm Em-
mons. As the RECORD circu ulates in
all sections of this County, and as
every dollar expended for goods by
our citizens must of necessity go to
Bismarck, the columns of this pa per
arc an excellent medium through
which the lemerchants of that city can
reach the residents of this portion
of tho Missouri slope.
