Many of the farmers who grow flax will
procure spinning wheels and save from 500
to 500 year on Irvine.
The college at Pierre has fOrty-four
students and they set a good example in the
200 new trees on the grounds.
In some localities new vegetables grown
in gardens were had the first week in May.
The strawberries and bananas, however,
were imported.
One man last week captured five wolves
within three miles of Canton, the home OF
Delegate Clifford. The county pays a
bounty of So head.
MiIbank proposes to bond the town for
S10,0 900 for fire protection and to sink an
arteSian WELL The railroad offers to pay
half the cost if it is success.
The new court house at washington
Springs, Gerauld county, will be of native
granite from the hills near by, and, per-
hapS, the only stone court house in Da-
kota.
Lincoln is one of the wealthiest and most
prosperous of the southern counties and
greatly needs a new court house. One man
offers to put $40, 900 in such structure in
exchange for lots owned by the county in
Canton.
At the dedication of the Presbyterian
church at La Moure last Sunday $500 was
raised and the entire debt lifted. Yester-
day a Presbyterian church was dedicated at
Mapleton, in CasS county.
The rainfall west of the Missouri river
during April was a trife less than two
inches, and the lowest point on the Their
mometer 25e. The highest ZOE. There
was one heavy fall of snow.
The settlers upon the Crow Creek lands
design to make up a test case for the courts
by arresting the first soldier who attempts
to enforce the proclamation of ejectment.
The lands are all in organized counties with
courts and civil officers.
While Maj. Jason P. Gleason was return
ing to Mimic from Grafton, delivering the
ballot boxes of the late election there, he
was attacked with heart disease and died in
few minutes. He was a man of some
note there, Union soldier and leading
Mason.
The printer lately killed at jamestown
was son of George Washington Brown,
noted in the ante-bellum history of Kansas
as the editor of the great free state organ
at Lawrence, the Herald of Freedom,
which was destroyed by the visitors from
the South.
Probably in neither of the countries di-
rectly interested is there more general and
enthusiastic willingness for England and
Russia to fight than in Dakota. An addi-
ton of rs cents buShel to the price of
wheat would compensate for great deal of
phlebotomy in Asia.
The Aberdeen News has what it regards
as authentic information that the Rock
Island railroad is about ready to build from
Watertown west. 1t says thai the route to
be taken is not fully settled, but expects
Aberdeen will be favored point.
Many of the lumber dealers in the vicin-
ity of the reservations are extremely anX-
ious over the action to be taken, as they
have furnished the lumber for shaclzs largely
on credit. One at Pukmona has an interest
in five, and says he does not expect to get a
cent for them if the settlers are driven off.
The Mitchell Republican regards the posi-
ton of clerk in land Office as exceedingly
perilous for bright young lady who does
not want to marry. A very charming one
just captured in that Office has an equally
attractive successor, and the young men be-
siege the land office to find out about
claims.
The Pierre Free Press claims to have a
letter from high official at Washington
that the order for the removal of the settlers
from the reservations will not be enforced,
but blind eye turned in that direction until
congress convenes. This is thought the
probable course, although information from
Delegate Clifford is of different character.
1t is claimed that the samples of coal
taken from the shaft being sunk in the
Turtle mountains show superior article to
any mine in the West. But the shaft is
greatly troubled with water at the depth of
fifty feet. If it proves to be good work
able vein it will no doubt expedite the con-
Struction of a railroad to that section. The
Oliver syndicate is conducting the work.
The Aberdeen Pioneer seems to have the
best of it in the attempt to crush it for OPP
posing the popular sentiment of the town
for division. The country and other towns
are more than filling the places of the intol-
Grants, and the paper is securing valuable
advertising from it. The plucky editor
Judge Drake, is going on to complete his
new office just as if there were no kickers.
Mai. f. J. Smith of the Forman Chron-
icle has opened for the benefit of Sargent
county a matrimonial bureau as supple
names of about three hundred young men in
business or on good claims who want wives,
and any ladies who have tendencies in thai
direction will find him reliable and conf.
Dental agent.
A recent visitor at Sanborn was sur.
prised to find that cow boy there was q
bright young miss of 13 years. All last
season she herded alone over fifty cattle,
riding pet Indian pony. At s O'Clock
every morning she jumps astride Of the
bareback animal, drives the herd to the
prairie and watches them all day. She
takes her books and spends her leisure in
reading and study. The sun is rarely toe
hot for comfort in the gentle breeze, but
once or twice she has suffered from hal
storm.
The statement of some of the agents and
news gatherers that North Dakota will
have from 20 to 25 per cent. more acreage
in wheat than last year is gross exaggera
ton. There would be much less were il
not for the new land in the new counties
and the aggregate increase will be trifling
There will be many more local consumers
and unless the yield per acre is greater the
total for shipment will hardly reach the fig
ureS of 1884.
AS illustrative of the claim that the clo1
mate of Dakota has some of the qualities l.
the tabled springs that renew youth, the
Hamlin County Times relates that a.
Castlewood, at the 9th birthday of j. O.
Pitts, who came to Dakota in feeble health
he performed the feat of springing up and
striking his feet together three times before
lighting. 1t takes pretty fair circus per-
former to do that.
The Russians and Roumanians that are
coming into Dakota 80 numerously of late
are a remarkably prolific people. All have
large families, and the women evidently are
aware that a census is soon to be taken
One gave birth to child on the cars neal
Aberdeen and another at Jamestown. Such
incidents hardly attract a moments atten
